The patent application (Publication Number: US20230367348A1) describes a system and method for controlling fluctuations in energy use at an electric load location. The invention involves monitoring power fluctuations in an electric line connected to the load location and controlling the transfer of energy to specific set-points based on factors such as changes in electrical tariffs, state-of-charge data from the energy source, and forecast information derived from coefficient data. The syStemludes a memory storing instructions and a processor that executes these instructions to manage energy transfers effectively.

Furthermore, the patent application outlines a method for implementing the energy control system, which includes monitoring power fluctuations and adjusting energy transfers based on set-points determined by factors like electrical tariff information, state-of-charge data, and forecasted coefficient data. The method aims to optimize energy usage at the electric load location by responding dynamically to changes in energy requirements and external factors such as tariffs. By utilizing simulations and historical data, the system and method described in the patent application offer a comprehensive approach to managing energy fluctuations efficiently and effectively.
