Abstract: A method of monitoring energy consumption includes steps of establishing an energy budget for a future time period, receiving device information for a plurality of electrical devices and associating the device information with the energy budget, periodically measuring electrical usage from the plurality of electrical devices, projecting future energy consumption for the future time period based on the measured electrical usage, comparing the projected future energy consumption to the energy budget, and if the projected future energy consumption deviates from the energy budget, automatically generating an alert. The projected future energy consumption can take into account various factors such as energy available from non-grid sources; weather forecasts; battery storage; and historical data. A system employing the method can automatically control devices to bring predicted consumption within the budget.

Abstract: A system and method for managing power consumption and storage in a power grid. Measurements are received from a plurality of geographically distributed energy management controllers. Each energy management controllers has energy storage units with stored energy. The measurements comprise the energy production and storage capacity of the energy management controllers and their associated energy storage units. The measurements are processed, e.g., aggregated, and displayed on a graphical user interface. Commands are transmitted to a first subset of the energy management controllers to command the units to discharge their stored energy into a power grid through an inverter. Commands are transmitted to a second subset of the plurality of energy management controllers to store energy in each unit's energy storage unit.
