Abstract: A green energy, smart-grid residential system collects power usage information from a plurality of connected homes by progressively integrating information collected from each of the individual homes using a group of sensor devices. Such information is compiled to usable format using distributed computers. The in-home sensor devices include an intelligent master device, and one or more of a communication and power switch device, a ZigBee® enabled switch device, and a power control switch device, each of which typically operate over a power line communication network. The master device collects, compiles, and communicates the collected data to the Web or outside world. The information from a number of these homes in a local area is consolidated using local distributed processors on the Web and provided to a main processing unit for compilation and integration with other regional inputs for use in national policy decision making.

Abstract: An SNMP network comprises a power manager with an SNMP agent in TCP/IP communication over a network with an SNMP network manager. The power manager is connected to control several intelligent power modules each able to independently control the power on/off status of several network appliances. Power-on and load sensors within each intelligent power module are able to report the power status of each network appliance to the SNMP network manager with MIB variables in response to GET commands. Each intelligent power module is equipped with an output that is connected to cause an interrupt signal to the network appliance being controlled. The SNMP network manager is able to test which network appliance is actually responding before any cycling of the power to the corresponding appliance is tried.
