20110040420 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSOCIATING A LOAD DEMAND WITH A VARIABLE POWER GENERATION - Systems and methods for associating a load demand with a variable power generation are described. A system includes a renewable variable power generation module including a sensor, the sensor configured to determine an output power capability value for the renewable variable power generation module. The system also includes a load demand module including a response device, the response device configured to receive the output power capability value directly from the renewable variable power generation module and to determine an input power demand value based on the output power capability value. | 02-17-2011 |
20110084551 | PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM WITH MANAGED OUTPUT - Photovoltaic systems with managed output and methods for managing variability of output from photovoltaic systems are described. A system includes a photovoltaic module configured to receive and convert solar energy to DC power. The system also includes a sensor configured to detect a future change in solar energy to be received by the photovoltaic module. The system further includes a power conditioning unit coupled with the photovoltaic module and the sensor. | 04-14-2011 |
20110185652 | Integrated Composition Shingle PV System - An integrated composition shingle PV system is interengageable with composition shingles, the composition shingles being arranged in overlapping rows on an inclined support surface. The system comprises a carrier mountable on the support surface. The carrier has flashing along its peripheral edge. The rear flashing is positionable under a first row of overlapping rows of composition shingles. The left side and right side flashing are interengageable with second and third rows of overlapping rows of composition shingles. The front flashing is positionable on top of another row of overlapping rows of composite shingles. A PV laminate is secured to and supported by the carrier. | 08-04-2011 |
20120116603 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSOCIATING A LOAD DEMAND WITH A VARIABLE POWER GENERATION - Systems and methods for associating a load demand with a variable power generation are described. For example, a method of providing power from a renewable resource includes receiving a signal including an output capability value for a renewable variable power generation module. An input power demand value is calculated for a load demand module based on the output capability value of the received signal. A customer load is controlled on a power transmission and distribution grid based on the calculated input power demand value. | 05-10-2012 |
20130190939 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DISPATCHING ELECTRICAL ENERGY FROM DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES - Demand of a facility load for electrical energy is monitored and compared to a demand cap for a demand period. A demand cap may be set for peak periods, another demand cap may be set for part-peak periods, and yet another demand cap may be set for off-peak periods. Dispatch of electrical energy from the energy storage system is based on the demand of the facility load relative to the demand cap. | 07-25-2013 |
