| 20100138066 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DEMOCRATIZING POWER TO CREATE A META-EXCHANGE - The present invention provides a system and method for providing democratizing power in a power grid system. In architecture, the system includes a module for receiving a plurality of user preferences concerning load shedding using a graphical user interface, and a module for implementing the user preferences during a grid irregularity. The method of providing democratizing power, can be broadly summarized by the following steps of determining if a device needs a transfer of energy, determining if an electric network connected to the device is able to supply backup power, and determining the quantity of the backup power. The method further includes the steps of determining the cost of the backup power and facilitating payment of the cost of the backup power. | 06-03-2010 |
