Filed:

Jan 27, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/359643

Inventors:

Mark Matthews - Fairport NY, US
Hari Nayar - Fairport NY, US

Assignee:

ARISTA POWER, INC. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G05F 5/00

US Classification:

700292

Abstract:

A system to manage the storage of energy to, and the release of energy from, an energy storage system with such energy being generated from one or more renewable sources of energy, traditional sources of energy or the electric grid, or a combination of any or all of these sources, resulting in a reduction of the power demand from the electric grid of a user of the system and/or of the high consumption charges during peak usage times of a user of the system.

Inventors:

Mark Matthews - Fairport NY, US

International Classification:

H02J 4/00

US Classification:

307 52

Abstract:

A system to energy being used from the electric grid as well as being used and generated from one or more energy generators or fuel-powered turbines, including, but not limited to, natural gas generators, fuel cells, diesel generators, bio-diesel generators, ethanol generators, propane generators, biogas generators and kerosene generators, or a combination of any or all of these sources, with or without a battery energy storage system, resulting in (a) a reduction of the peak power demand from the electric grid of a user of the system, and/or (b) a reduction of the high consumption charges during times in which consumption costs are higher due to variable billing or otherwise, and/or (c) the ability to provide energy to the user of the system at a time that such user is offsetting, in whole or in part, a reduction of its demand from the electric grid to, among other things, quality for, participate in and/or satisfy the requirements of demand response or similar programs with third parties.
