40 claims: 4 independent, 36 dependent

  1. 1
    Claims of equivalent WO 0198851 A1 WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:1. A system for monitoring and controlling energy distribution from at least one Energy Service Provider, comprising: a publicly accessible distributed network;a network access device that interfaces power monitoring and power curtailment circuitry to said distributed network;and a management device that supports interfaces to said power monitoring and said power curtailment circuitry, said management device located remotely from said network access device, and comprising a control device that interfaces said network access device through said publicly accessible distributed network, wherein said management device controls electrical loads at a remote location based in part on market prices of electricity.
  2. 19
    The system of claiml further comprising a plurality of manually activated switches wherein at least one switch is adapted to initiate a connection between said network access device and said management device and at least one switch is adapted to reset said network access device.
  3. 21
    A system for monitoring and redistributing energy, comprising:a publicly accessible network;an energy exchange interfaced to said publicly accessible network;an E1-2000 interfaced to power monitoring circuitry, power curtailment circuitry and said publicly accessible network;an on-line Site interfaced to said E1-2000 and said energy exchange through said publicly accessible network, said on-line Site facilitating energy redistribution by monitoring power consumption data through said E1-2000, price data through said energy exchange, and initiating curtailment events through said E1-2000.
  4. 32
    A method of monitoring and controlling energy distribution, comprising:monitoring electrical load data from a plurality of distributed locations and electric market supply data through a publicly accessible distributed network;and receiving said data at an on-line Site connected to said publicly accessible distributed network, said on-line Site processing said electrical load and said market supply data and initiating at least one power curtailment request at one of said distributed locations based on said electrical load data and said market supply data.
