    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting, from a smart plug, an electronic device connected to the smart plug, and more specifically, to a method and an apparatus for detecting a change in an electronic device connected to a smart plug. A method, according to one embodiment of the present invention, is the method for detecting a connected electronic device from the smart plug and comprises the steps of: inspecting whether pre-trained data is present when the an electronic device is connected; inspecting whether the connected electronic device and the pre-trained data match when the pre-trained data is present; a training step of obtaining information on valid power, invalid power, and power factor when the connected electronic device and the pre-trained data do not match; and saving trained data after the training is complete.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a photovoltaic installation process. A process may include determining a method of interconnection to couple a photovoltaic system to an electrical system of a structure. The process may further include determining, via an electronic device, an ideal usage offset ratio for the photovoltaic system based on a known utility rate associated with the structure. Moreover, the process may include estimating a number of modules required to meet the determined ideal usage offset ratio. In addition, the process may include generating, via the electronic device, installation information including required installation materials, estimated costs, point-load, and electrical information for the photovoltaic system.

    摘要: According to some aspects, a power regulation system for energy harvesters that lacks a battery is provided. In some embodiments, the power regulation system may receive power from multiple energy harvesters that generate energy from different sources, such as wind currents and ambient light. In these embodiments, the power regulation system may selectively provide power from one or more of the energy harvesters to a load as environmental conditions change and power itself with energy from the energy harvesters. Thereby, the power regulation system may start and operate without a battery and provide power to the load over a wider range of environmental conditions.
