[0003] Energy remains a critical factor in the world economy and is undergoing an evolution and transformation, involving changes in energy generation, storage, planning, demand management, consumption and delivery systems and processes. These changes are enabled by the development and convergence of numerous diverse technologies, including more distributed, modular, mobile and / or portable energy generation and storage technologies that will make the energy market much more decentralized and localized, as well as a range of technologies that will facilitate management of energy in a more decentralized system, including edge and Internet of Things networking technologies, advanced computation and artificial intelligence technologies, transaction enablement technologies (such as blockchains, distributed ledgers and smart contracts) and others. The convergence of these more decentralized energy technologies with these networking, computation and intelligence technologies is referred to herein as the “energy edge.”
[0004] The energy market is expected to evolve and transform over the next few decades from a highly centralized model that relies on fossil fuels and a managed electrical grid to a much more distributed and decentralized model that involves many more localized generation, storage, and consumption systems. During that transition, a hybrid system will likely persist for many years in which the conventional grid becomes more intelligent, and in which distributed systems will play a growing role. A need exists for a platform that facilitates management and improvement of legacy infrastructure in coordination with distributed systems.SUMMARY

The set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108 may integrate, for example, domain-specific stakeholder data, such as proprietary data sets that are generated in connection with enterprise operations, analysis and / or strategy, real-time data from stakeholder assets (such as collected by loT and edge devices located in proximity to the assets and operations of the stakeholder), stakeholder-specific energy resources and systems 104 (such as available energy generation, storage, or distribution systems that may be positioned at stakeholder locations to augment or substitute for an electrical grid), and the like into a solution that meets the energy needs and capabilities of the stakeholder, including baseline, period, and peak energy needs to conduct operations such as large-scale data processing, transportation, production of goods and materials, resource extraction and processing, heating and cooling, and many others.
[0556] In some embodiments, the platform 102 (and / or elements thereof) and / or the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108 may take data from, provide data to and / or exchange data with a set of data resources for energy edge orchestration 110. The platform 102 obtains information from the set of data resources for the energy edge orchestration 110. These data resources may include datasets, ranging from real-time energy consumption metrics to predictive analytics on future energy demands. By using these resources, the platform 102 is able to make decisions that are both timely and informed. The platform 102 is also equipped to provide data back to the set of data resources for the energy edge orchestration 110. Such data may include feedback on energy optimization strategies, insights derived from Al analyses, and / or even raw data collected from various sensors and nodes within the energy infrastructure. This feedback loop ensures that the data resources remain updated, facilitating more accurate and dynamic energy management. Further, the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108, tailored to meet the unique needs of various stakeholders, can contribute data to and derive insights from the platform 102. By way of example, a stakeholder solution designed for a solar energy farm may provide real-time data on solar panel efficiency, which the platform 102 can then use to optimize energy distribution. Such data exchange between the platform 102, the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108, and the set of data resources for energy edge orchestration 110 ensures that optimizations are based on the most updated available data.
[0557] The platform 102 may include, integrate with, exchange data with and / or otherwise link to a set of intelligence enablement systems 112, a set of Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 and a set of configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118.

The set of intelligence enablement systems 112, utilizing advanced algorithms and computational tools, enable the platform 102 with the requisite intelligence to parse vast datasets, recognize patterns, and make informed decisions. The set of Al -based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 ensures that the platform 102 achieves efficiency and adaptability. By orchestrating energy sources, optimizing energy flows, and automating processes, the set of Al-based energy orchestration,Attorney Docket No. 54250-73optimization, and automation systems 114 transform the platform 102 into a dynamic entity, responsive to real-time changes and proactive in its strategies. The set of configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 provides the platform 102 with flexibility of modularity and customization. Depending on specific use-cases, stakeholders can configure these modules to cater to their unique requirements.

[0561] The platform 102 may include, integrate with, link to, exchange data with, be governed by, take inputs from, and / or provide outputs to one or more artificial intelligence (Al) systems, which may include models, rule -based systems, expert systems, neural networks, deep learning systems, supervised learning systems, robotic process automation systems, natural language processing systems, intelligent agent systems, self-optimizing and self-organizing systems, and others as described throughout this disclosure and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Except where context specifically indicates otherwise, references to Al, or to one or more examples of Al, should be understood to encompass these various alternative methods and systems; for example, without limitation, an Al system described for enabling any of a wide variety of functions, capabilities and solutions described herein (such as optimization, autonomous operation, prediction, control, orchestration, or the like) should be understood to be capable of implementation by operation on a model or rule set; by training on a training data setAttorney Docket No. 54250-73of human tag, labels, or the like; by training on a training data set of human interactions (e.g., human interactions with software interfaces or hardware systems); by training on a training data set of outcomes; by training on an Al-generated training data set (e.g., where a full training data set is generated by Al from a seed training data set); by supervised learning; by semi-supervised learning; by deep learning; or the like. For any given function or capability that is described herein, neural networks of various types may be used, including any of the types described herein or in the documents incorporated by reference, and, In some embodiments, a hybrid set of neural networks may be selected such that within the set a neural network type that is more favorable for performing each element of a multi-function or multi-capability system or method is implemented. As one example among many, a deep learning, or black box, system may use a gated recurrent neural network for a function like language translation for an intelligent agent, where the underlying mechanisms of Al operation need not be understood as long as outcomes are favorably perceived by users, while a more transparent model or system and a simpler neural network may be used for a system for automated governance, where a greater understanding of how inputs are translated to outputs may be needed to comply with regulations or policies. SUBSYSTEMS AND MODULES OF AI-BASED ENERGY ORCHESTRATION, OPTIMIZATION, AND AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
[0562] The set of Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 may include the set of energy generation orchestration systems 138, the set of energy consumption orchestration systems 140, the set of energy storage orchestration systems 142, the set of energy marketplace orchestration systems 146 and the set of energy delivery orchestration systems 147, among others. For example, the set of energy delivery orchestration systems 147 may enable orchestration of the delivery of energy to a point of consumption, such as by fixed transmission lines, wireless energy transmission, delivery of fuel, delivery of stored energy (e.g., chemical or nuclear batteries), or the like, and may involve autonomously optimizing the mix of energy types among the foregoing available resources based on various factors, such as location (e.g., based on distance from the grid), purpose or type of consumption (e.g., whether there is a need for very high peak energy delivery, such as for power-intensive production processes), and the like. Consider a remote industrial unit located far from the main grid, requiring power for its production processes. The set of energy generation orchestration systems 138 may analyze the location and determine that connecting such unit to the main grid may not be feasible. Instead, the set of energy generation orchestration systems 138 may suggest that a combination of wireless energy transmission and delivery of chemical batteries may be most suitable in this case.
[0563] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may employ demand forecasting, including automated forecasting by artificial intelligence or by taking a data stream of forecast information from a third party. Among other things, forecasting demand helps inform site selection and intelligently planned network expansion. In some embodiments, machine learning algorithms may generate multiple forecasts, such as about weather, prices, solar generation, energy demand, and other factors, and analyze how energy assets can best capture or generate value at differentAttorney Docket No. 54250-73times and / or locations.
[0564] In some embodiments, the Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 may enable energy pattern optimization, such as by analyzing building or other operational energy usage and seeking to reshape patterns for optimization (e.g., by modeling demand response to various stimuli). By analyzing energy consumption trends, the Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 can identify areas of wastage or inefficiency. By way of example, they can evaluate how energy consumption of a building varies during different times of the day or in different seasons. Using this knowledge, the automation systems 114 can then reshape these patterns to achieve optimal energy usage. This may be applied in a commercial office building where the Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 may notice that energy consumption spikes during the early afternoon due to the simultaneous use of lighting, heating, and cooling systems. By modeling how the building may respond to certain stimuli, such as optimizing Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system based on real-time occupancy data, the AI-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 can suggest measures to distribute energy consumption more evenly throughout the day, thereby reducing peak demand and associated costs.
[0565] The Al-based energy orchestration, optimization, and automation systems 114 may be enabled by the set of intelligence enablement systems 112 that provide functions and capabilities that support a range of applications and use cases.
[0566] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to integrate data from an at least one internal edge device located within an environment e.g. sensors within a building, vehicle, machine, utility) and an at least one external edge device located outside the environment (e.g. sensors on weather monitoring stations broadcasting real-time data, vehicles, etc.). The platform 102 may collect real-time energy intelligence data and provide the real-time energy intelligence data to an intelligence circuit that is trained on the data and outcomes and automatically executes an action to optimize energy management. For example, an edge device connected to a DER may be taken in combination with an edge device from a local weather monitoring station. Local weather data (e.g. cloud cover, temperature, wind, precipitation, etc.) may be correlated with energy output from the DER, and a machine learning model may be trained to utilize variables from the second edge device to anticipate actions related to the environment of the first edge device. By way of further example, a radar signature output by the weather station edge device may be used to action a ramping up or down of energy from the DER.
[0567] In some embodiments, data output from one or more edge devices may be vectorized and / or stored in a distributed database. Capturing energy data from devices may be optimized further through use of vector-based updating of the data in which only changes that impact a model of the consumption information are communicated. The vector may be developed based on the analysis of data from consuming devices described above. A vector for a composite energy consuming system may be a multi-dimensional vector that represents consumption type,Attorney Docket No. 54250-73purpose, device, and the like to form a highly efficient way of communicating complex energy usage environments. By way of example, consider a smart grid system where thousands of home appliances, HVAC systems, and lighting solutions are continuously sending energy consumption data. Instead of sending every minute detail, the system analyzes this data, and based on the consumption patterns, develops a vector. This vector, especially for a composite energy consuming system, may include various parameters like consumption type, the purpose of consumption, the specific device consuming energy, among others.
[0568] In some embodiments, patterns of energy usage may include localized patterns, such as based on work-a-day schedules of consumers. However, patterns of energy usage may be based on a wider range of data, including weather forecast data; energy consumption in areas being currently affected by a weather system for preparing an area predicted to receive the weather system; and the like. Pattern analysis may include not only raw usage, but may include information about consumers (e.g., devices being operated that consume energy) that may impact learnings. By way of example, work-a-day schedules of consumers, which may involve turning off all home appliances during working hours and increasing energy consumption in the evenings, may be a localized pattern which may be recognized and adapted to by the system.
[0569] Demographics and other human-based activity may play a role in energy pattern analysis. In an example, demographics of an area that suggest consumers replace older vehicles with new vehicles more frequently than in other areas may suggest that local energy demand for electric vehicle charging might increase sooner in such areas. When demographics and / or consumer behaviors suggest that consumers in a region tend to replace vehicles with used vehicles, then maintenance of legacy energy sourcing may be indicated as preferred for those areas.Energy Simulation Systems
[0570] In some embodiments, a set of energy simulation systems 136 is provided, such as to develop and evaluate detailed simulations of energy generation, demand response and charge management, including a simulation environment that simulates the outcomes of use of various algorithms that may govern generation across various generations assets, consumption by devices and systems that demand energy, and storage of energy. Data can be used to simulate the interaction of non-controllable loads and optimized charging processes, among other use cases. The simulation environment may provide output to, integrate with, or share data with the set of adaptive energy digital twin systems 134. By way of example, if a city plans to transition to renewable energy sources, the city can use the set of energy simulation systems 136 to simulate various outcomes. This simulation can predict how solar panels may respond to varying weather conditions, how wind turbines may operate during different seasons, or how energy storage solutions may need to be managed during peak demand periods.
[0571] In some embodiments, as more enterprises embrace hybrid infrastmcture, uptime is becoming more complex, requiring backup and failover strategies that span cloud, colocation, on-premises facilities, and edge infrastructure. This may include Al-based algorithms for automatically managing energy for devices and systems in such devices. For example, artificial intelligence may enable autonomous data center cooling and industrial control. In someAttorney Docket No. 54250-73embodiments, distributed energy resources, or DERs 128, may be integrated into or with, for example, Al-driven computing infrastructure, smart Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems, energy-enabled air flow management systems, and HVAC systems, among others. By simulating energy scenarios, the set of energy simulation systems 136 ensures that enterprises, irrespective of their infrastructure model, operate seamlessly and sustainably.SUBSYSTEMS AND MODULES OF INTELLIGENCE ENABLEMENT SYSTEMSIntelligent Data Layers
[0572] The set of intelligence enablement systems 112 may include a set of intelligent data layers 130, such as a set of services (including microservices), APIs, interfaces, modules, applications, programs, and the like which may consume any of the data entities and types described throughout this disclosure and undertake a wide range of processing functions, such as extraction, cleansing, normalization, calculation, transformation, loading, batch processing, streaming, filtering, routing, parsing, converting, pattern recognition, content recognition, object recognition, and others. Through a set of interfaces, a user of the platform 102 may configure the set of intelligent data layers 130 or outputs thereof to meet internal platform needs and / or to enable further configuration, such as for the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108. The set of intelligent data layers 130, the set of intelligence enablement systems 112 more generally, and / or the configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 may access data from various sources throughout the platform 102 and, In some embodiments, may operate from the set of shared data resources, which may be contained in a centralized database and / or in a set of distributed databases, or which may consist of a set of distributed or decentralized data sources, such as loT or edge devices that produce energy-relevant event logs or streams. The set of intelligent data layers 130 may be configured for a wide range of energy-relevant tasks, such as prediction / forecasting of energy consumption, generation, storage or distribution parameters (e.g., at the level of individual devices, subsystems, systems, machines, or fleets); optimization of energy generation, storage, distribution or consumption (also at various levels of optimization); automated discovery, configuration and / or execution of energy transactions (including microtransactions and / or larger transactions in spot and futures markets as well as in peer-to-peer groups or single counterparty transactions); monitoring and tracking of parameters and attributes of energy consumption, generation, distribution and / or storage (e.g., baseline levels, volatility, periodic patterns, episodic events, peak levels, and the like); monitoring and tracking of energy-related parameters and attributes (e.g., pollution, carbon production, renewable energy credits, production of waste heat, and others); automated generation of energy-related alerts, recommendations and other content (e.g., messaging to prompt or promote favorable user behavior); and many others.
[0573] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to analyze a monitored energy data set and generate configuration recommendations for a distributed system to produce and consume energy. The platform 102 may be configured to analyze streams from one or more local power consumption entities and generate recommendations. For example, a manufacturingAttorney Docket No. 54250-73plant may have a set of needs that differ greatly from a hospital campus. As such, the Al-based platform may perform analysis of each of a plurality of energy consumption scenarios and related devices and demands, and recommend types of DERs for providing energy and conditioning energy corresponding to the needs and demands of the local power consumption entities. A hospital may have an ER that has a specific set of demands, such as times when an operating theater is open, or contingent demands based on emergencies. Examples of a monitored energy data set may include one or more of grid-based energy resources and mobile energy resources. Grid-based energy resources may include, for example, fossil fuel-based energy production facilities (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.), renewable energy-based production facilities (solar farms, wind farms, geothermal generators, tidal generators, hydroelectric power facilities, etc.) Mobile energy resources may include, for example, mobile battery installations, mobile fossil fuel-based generators, mobile renewable energy producers, mobile transformers and power conditioning systems, drone-based power delivery / storage systems, vehicle-based power delivery / storage systems, etc.Distributed Ledger and Smart Contract Systems
[0574] The set of intelligence enablement systems 112 may include a smart contract system 132 for handling a set of smart contracts, each of which may optionally operate on a set of blockchain-based distributed ledgers. Each of the smart contracts may operate on data stored in the set of distributed ledgers or blockchains, such as to record energy-related transactional events, such as energy purchases and sales (in spot, forward and peer-to-peer markets, as well as direct counterparty transactions), relevant service charges and the like; transaction relevant energy events, such as consumption, generation, distribution and / or storage events, and other transaction-relevant events often associated with energy, such as carbon production or abatement events, renewable energy credit events, pollution production or abatement events, and the like. The set of smart contracts handled by the smart contract system 132 may consume as a set of inputs any of the data types and entities described throughout this disclosure, undertake a set of calculations (optionally configured in a flow that takes inputs from disparate systems in a multi-step transaction), and provide a set of outputs that enable completion of a transaction, reporting (optionally recorded on a set of distributed ledgers), and the like. The set of energy transaction enablement systems 144 may be enabled or augmented by artificial intelligence, including to autonomously discover, configure, and execute transactions according to a strategy and / or to provide automation or semi-automation of transactions based on training and / or supervision by a set of transaction experts.
[0575] In some embodiments, the smart contract systems 132 may be used by the set of energy transaction enablement systems 144 (described elsewhere in this disclosure) to configure transactional solutions. Each smart contract within the smart contract systems 132 is intricately designed to process data stored within these distributed ledgers or blockchains. The functionality of the smart contracts extends to documenting a variety of energy-associated transactional events. This includes, but is not limited to, recording peer-to-peer energy transactions and even direct transactions between parties. Furthermore, they capture data related to service charges andAttorney Docket No. 54250-73other transaction-relevant energy events, including information on energy consumption, generation, distribution, and storage. For example, an energy grid of a city having integrated renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, the smart contract systems 132 can autonomously execute contracts that purchase solar energy during peak sunlight hours and wind energy during windy periods. Simultaneously, it records each transaction, the associated service charges, and even the carbon offset achieved by using renewable sources.Adaptive Energy Digital Twin Systems
[0576] Any entity, analytic results, output of artificial intelligence, state, operating condition, or other feature noted throughout this disclosure may, In some embodiments, be presented in a digital twin, such as the set of adaptive energy digital twin systems 134, which is widely applicable, and / or the set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148, which is configured for the needs of a particular stakeholder or stakeholder solution. The set of adaptive energy digital twin systems 134 may, for example, provide a visual or analytic indicator of energy consumption by a set of machines, a group of factories, a fleet of vehicles, or the like; a subset of the same (e.g., to compare energy parameters by each of a set of similar machines to identify out-of-range behavior); and many other aspects. A digital twin may be adaptive, such as to filter, highlight, or otherwise adjust data presented based on real-time conditions, such as changes in energy costs, changes in operating behavior, or the like.
[0577] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to create, manage, and / or otherwise provide a dynamic digital twin of historical, current, and forecast distributed energy demand for both mobile and fixed entities within a domain based. For example, relatively large companies or organization settings may be modeled via digital twins, such as industrial environments, factory environments, distribution centers, hospital settings, university / college environments, office building settings, mining operations, etc. In a specific example, for a manufacturing facility with numerous machines, assembly lines, and automated systems, the platform 102 can create a digital twin of this environment, capturing every detail of its energy consumption patterns. Such digital twin can provide real-time information about the energy demands of the facility, from the historical energy usage data of each machine to the present consumption rates, and even predictions about future energy needs based on forecasted production schedules. Larger environments may be modeled where the costs can be shifted significantly based on energy adjustments across entire environment. By way of example, in larger environments, where energy consumption is high, even minor adjustments can lead to substantial financial implications. By having a dynamic digital twin, stakeholders can simulate various energy adjustments and analyze their impact. By way of example, in an office building setting, adjusting the operation of the HVAC system based on real-time occupancy data or optimizing lighting based on natural daylight availability can shift the energy costs considerably.
[0578] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to model government entities via one or more digital twins, such as states, counties, cities, towns, developmental areas, communities, and the like. In an example, for a city, having thousands or hundreds of thousands of residents, businesses, public transport systems, and numerous amenities, the platform 102 canAttorney Docket No. 54250-73create a digital twin of such city, capturing every aspect of its energy consumption. This digital representation may include everything from the lighting in public parks, the HVAC systems in government buildings, to the energy demands of public transport systems. By doing so, the platform 102 offers city administrators a holistic view of the energy footprint of the city, facilitating informed decisions on energy management. The platform 102 can even model larger entities like states or counties, capturing the diverse energy demands of various regions, from urban hubs to rural areas. On the other end, the platform 102 can also represent smaller entities, like towns. By way of example, in a new town which is being developed for industrial use, the platform 102 can model the expected energy demands based on planned industries, ensuring that the energy infrastructure is adequately prepared to meet the demand. In another example, a county planning to transition to renewable energy sources can utilize its digital twin to simulate the impact of integrating solar farms or wind turbines. This simulation can provide insights into potential energy savings, grid stability, and even the environmental benefits of such a transition.
[0579] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may include an Al -based system for updating a digital twin based on set of energy parameters which may include adapting energy consumption data from a physical device for the digital twin based on the set of energy parameters, such as by adjusting a cost incurred for energy consumed based on a dynamic energy marketplace from which the device sources energy. By way of example, consider a device that sources its energy from a dynamic energy marketplace, where the cost of energy fluctuates based on demand, supply, and other market factors. If the device consumes energy at a time when costs are high, the Al-based system can adjust the digital twin to reflect this, ensuring that the virtual representation accurately mirrors the financial implications of real-world energy consumption. The Al-based system may also incorporate energy sourcing preferences of user(s) of the device (optionally as expressed in the device digital twin) when updating the device. By way of example, if a user, through the digital twin of their device, has expressed a preference for green energy, the Al system ensures that this preference is factored into the energy consumption data updates. For a shared device (e.g., e-bike), energy consumed during and / or associated with a user share of the device (while the e-bike is checked out in the account of the user) may be assigned to / across specific energy source(s) based on the user profile. For example, when a user checks out the e-bike on their user account, the energy consumed during their usage can be specifically sourced from their preferred energy source, as detailed in their user profile associated with the user account. Additionally or alternatively, an owner of the device and / or digital twin may identify an allocation of consumed energy to be assigned to each of a plurality of energy sources. By way of example, there may be scenarios where the owner of the device has specific allocations for consumed energy across multiple energy sources. In such cases, the Al system ensures that the digital twin reflects this allocation accurately. For example, an owner may specify that 50% of the energy consumed by a device should be sourced from wind energy and the remaining 50% from hydro energy. The Al system, when updating the digital twin, may ensure that this allocation is accurately represented. Thus, the platform 102, with its Al-based system, provides digital twins which are not just static representations but are dynamic,Attorney Docket No. 54250-73responsive, and tailored to individual preferences and real-world scenarios.
[0580] In some embodiments, the Al-based system for updating a digital twin based on a set of energy parameters may include adapting energy production and / or allocation control for an upcoming time period (e.g., during an upcoming high-demand event and the like) based on the set of energy parameters. This may include relying on an Al-based forecast of energy demand for a future period of time to adjust how an energy sourcing system operates, such as energy parameters that determine how much energy to store versus generate and deliver, for example. By way of example, in a scenario where there is an anticipated high-demand event, perhaps due to a festival, the Al-based system, by analyzing the energy parameters, can predict this surge in demand and adapt the energy production and / or allocation controls accordingly. In another example, based on past data and current trends, the Al-based system may anticipate increased energy demand during the summer months. In addition to Al-based energy demand forecasts, an Al-based system may evaluate macro trends / activity based on the energy parameters. In an example, an Al-based system that updates an energy consumption system may detect pricing patterns that suggest energy costs may sharply increase (e.g., due to a major weather event, or the like), the set of energy parameters may guide the Al-based system to adapt energy consumption and / or storage guidance for at least select consumers (e.g., public systems (e.g., tax -based systems) so as to avoid unnecessary burden on taxpayers). By way of example, if the Al-based system detects patterns suggesting that energy costs may increase due to an upcoming major weather event, it can take preemptive measures. By analyzing the set of energy parameters, the Al-based system may guide certain consumers to adapt their energy consumption or storage patterns, or guide public systems to reduce consumption or increase storage. Thus, the platform 102, with its Al-based system, ensures that energy management is proactive and efficient.
[0581] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to provide and / or facilitate digital twins of common device types (e.g., same model of e-bike). The digital twins may exchange consumption data across a range of instances of use to develop an understanding of how this common device type consumes energy in different environments, during different times of day, different geographies, demographics of users (including demographics local to a point of use). For example, an e-bike used predominantly in a hilly terrain may exhibit different energy consumption patterns compared to one used in a flat urban setting. The platform 102, by aggregating this data from various digital twins, can identify these patterns and make informed predictions. This can allow digital twins of specific devices (a specific e-bike) to better forecast energy demand leading to, among other things, dynamic recharging profiles. Some devices may be located in an area of high demand that suggests a need for more frequent charging, whereas others may be permitted to sustain a lower average energy charge due to, for example, shorter and less frequent utilization. For example, an e-bike stationed in a busy urban center may be identified to require frequent recharging due to high demand: on the other hand, another e-bike, perhaps stationed in a less frequented area, may operate optimally even without frequent recharging. This can also allow aggregation of demand profiles for a range of geographic areasAttorney Docket No. 54250-73to identify demand, such as recharging needs, available energy and the like. By way of example, in a locality with a high concentration of e-bikes (for example), the platform 102 may suggest staggered recharging schedules to balance the demand and prevent grid overloads. This can lead to management of charging activities for e-bikes, including demand balance of other rechargeable devices in an area.
[0582] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured such that not every physical instance of a device (e.g., a specific model e-bike) needs to have its own permanent digital twin. Most of these types of devices are dormant for significantly longer durations than they are in use (duty cycle is very sparse), so even energy demand for processing to support digital twins of these types of devices can be managed based on a demand profile. An instance of a physical device (or a configured genetic instance) can be activated (can be allocated energy resources) based on predictions of demand. Consider the scenario of a specific model of an e-bike. While these e-bikes may be scattered across various locations and be available for use all the time, their actual usage or “duty cycle” may be infrequent, with the devices lying dormant for extended periods. Understanding this unique characteristic, the platform 102 is configured in a way that instead of maintaining a continuous digital twin for each e-bike, the platform 102 can activate digital twins for these devices based on predicted demand. By way of example, in an urban setting, if the platform 102 predicts a surge in demand for e-bikes during, say, the morning rush hours, it can activate the digital twins for the e-bikes during such time. These digital twins can then facilitate energy management, ensuring that the e-bikes are charged and ready for use. Post the rush hour, these digital twins can be deactivated to conserve processing energy. This demand-driven approach ensures that energy resources for processing the digital twins are optimally utilized.
[0583] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may provide and / or facilitate sharing, exchange, and / or aggregation of energy consumption data provided to digital twins by physical device instances that can be harvested to establish a set of energy demand parameters for predictive energy demand models, and the like. For example, the platform 102 is designed to facilitate the exchange and aggregation of energy consumption data from various physical device instances and channeled to their respective digital twins. By way of example, consider a neighborhood with multiple smart homes, each equipped with multiple smart devices. While each home may have its unique energy consumption paterns, the collective data from all these homes can reveal broader trends. The platform 102, by aggregating this data, may identify patterns like increased energy consumption during holiday seasons or reduced demand during vacation periods. These insights can then inform predictive models, ensuring that energy providers are well-prepared to meet the anticipated demands.
[0584] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured such that energy consumption data provided to digital twins can also facilitate prediction of energy-related demands, such as maintenance of energy providing infrastructure, and the like. For example, a need for addressing waste from energy production can be better predicted based on not only consumption, but supply sourcing that can be available to digital twins. In other words, not onlyAttorney Docket No. 54250-73does a physical device consume energy, but it must also be supplied with (or must generate its own) energy. Energy supply and / or sourcing can be used by digital twins to indicate times / regions / specific sources of energy production for support (waste removal, refurbishment, etc.). By way of example, if a local energy production facility predominantly relies on nonrenewable sources, the associated waste generation would be higher. The digital twin, by predicting this, can ensure that adequate waste management measures are in place. Further, a digital twin of a local energy production facility can utilize predicted demand from energy consumption digital twins to address not only production, but up-the-chain sourcing. For example, if a predicted demand for (again using e-bikes as the example) e-bike utilization for upcoming event(s) (graduation, new student day, etc.) can be forecasted along with, for example, availability of solar produced energy expectations, local energy supply depots can source up-chain energy only if needed and / or as needed. By way of example, if the solar energy predictions are favorable, the depots can rely predominantly on solar energy, otherwise the depots can source energy from up-the-chain energy providers to meet the demand.
[0585] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may include a set of configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118. These may include a set of energy transaction enablement systems 144, a set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148, a set of data integrated microservices 150, and others. Each module or service (optionally configured in a microservices architecture) may exchange data with the various data resources in order to provide a relevant output, such as to support a set of internal functions or capabilities of the platform 102 and / or to support a set of functions or capabilities of one or more of the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108. As one example among many, a service may be configured to take event data from an loT device that has cameras or sensors that monitor a generator and integrate it with weather data from public data resources 162 to provide a weather-correlated timeline of energy generation data for the generator, which in turn may be consumed by a set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108, such as to assist with forecasting day-ahead energy generation by the generator based on a day-ahead weather forecast. A wide range of such configured data and intelligence modules and services 118 may be enabled by the platform 102, representing, for example, various outputs that consist of the fusion or combination of the wide range of energy edge data sources handled by the platform, higher-level analytic outputs resulting from expert analysis of data, forecasts and predictions based on patterns of data, automation and control outputs, and many others.
[0586] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured such that energy consumption devices and / or systems (e.g., a set of energy consuming devices in a household) may arbitrate locally for access to energy sources, such as main line energy, first level stored energy (e.g., at a device), local stored energy (e.g., a local battery that can source energy to a plurality of devices), and the like. Also, devices may consume energy for a range of purposes, consumption, storage, balancing sourcing, acting as a proxy for other devices, and the like. Yet further, energy consuming devices may be configured / configurable to use a plurality of energy types, such as electric grid, solar, geothermal, fossil fuel (combustion engine), hydrogen, and theAttorney Docket No. 54250-73like. Also, within an energy consumption system (set of devices as noted above) energy consumption may span a range of energy sources (e.g., hydrogen for cooking, solar for energy storage, waste energy recovery, and the like). By way of example, consider a household equipped with multiple energy-consuming devices, each with its unique energy demands and preferences. The platform 102 can facilitate a dynamic environment where these devices can locally arbitrate for access to various energy sources based on their immediate needs and available resources. By way of example, on a sunny day, solar panels in a house may be generating excess energy, in such case, the platform 102 may utilize energy primarily from the solar panels, reducing energy consumption from the grid.
[0587] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may capture the energy consumption information from / via the edge devices and develop a data set that represents a plurality of perspectives regarding consumed energy. Edge devices that may communicate (e.g., locally or in close proximity) with a range of energy consuming devices and device types may collect data about the devices, including, for example, what sources can the devices consume, what source have the devices consumed, purpose / use of the consumed energy, and the like. Further examples may include whether it appear as if the devices performing any sort of optimization, such as utilizing local storage during high energy cost periods (including high transmission costs which might be measured based on efficiencies of the delivery and the like), consuming energy for replenishing storage during off-peak times, and / or utilizing low cost sources (e.g., solar) when readily available. A wide range of analytics may be generated, captured, used in an energy management system, and the like. By way of example, consider a smart plug connected to a refrigerator which can provide insights into energy consumption patterns thereof, revealing details like its preference for utilizing local storage during high energy cost periods. By aggregating this data from various edge devices, the platform 102 can identify patterns, predict future energy demands, and optimize energy consumption across devices.Energy Transaction Enablement Systems
[0588] Configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 may include a set of energy transaction enablement systems 144. The set of energy transaction enablement systems 144 may include a set of smart contracts, which may operate on data stored in a set of distributed ledgers or blockchains, such as to record energy-related transactional events, such as energy purchases and sales (in spot, forward and peer-to-peer markets, as well as direct counterparty transactions) and relevant service charges; transaction relevant energy events, such as consumption, generation, distribution and / or storage events, and other transaction-relevant events often associated with energy, such as carbon production or abatement events, renewable energy credit events, pollution production or abatement events, and the like. The set of smart contracts may consume as a set of inputs any of the data types and entities described throughout this disclosure, undertake a set of calculations (optionally configured in a flow that takes inputs from disparate systems in a multi-step transaction), and provide a set of outputs that enable completion of a transaction, reporting (optionally recorded on a set of distributed ledgers), and the like. The set of energy transaction enablement systems 144 may be enabled or augmented by artificialAttorney Docket No. 54250-73intelligence, including to autonomously discover, configure, and execute transactions according to a strategy and / or to provide automation or semi-automation of transactions based on training and / or supervision by a set of transaction experts. Autonomy and / or automation (supervised or semi-supervised) may be enabled by robotic process automation, such as by training a set of intelligent agents on transactional discovery, configuration, or execution interactions of a set of transactional experts with transaction-enabling systems (such as software systems used to configure and execute energy trading activities).
[0589] As energy is increasingly produced and consumed in local, decentralized markets, the energy market is likely to follow patterns of other peer-to-peer or shared economy markets, such as ride sharing, apartment sharing and used goods markets. Technology enables the bypassing of top-down or centralized energy supply and enables operators to create platforms that can manage and monetize spare capacity, such as through the leasing and trading of assets and outputs.
[0590] As more distributed or peer-to-peer transactive energy markets develop, the platform 102 may include systems or link to, integrate with, or enable other platforms that facilitate P2P trading, wholesale contracts, renewable energy certificate (REC) tracking, and broader distributed energy provisioning, payment management and other transaction elements. In some embodiments, the foregoing may use blockchain, distributed ledger and / or smart contract systems 132. By way of example, a homeowner with excess solar energy may decide to sell this surplus energy. This transaction gets securely recorded on the blockchain.
[0591] In some embodiments, with increased transparency, choice, and flexibility, consumers will be able to participate actively in energy markets, by generating, storing, and selling, as well as consuming electricity. By way of example, a local community may decide to capitalize on its collective solar energy generation. The platform 102 enables homes with solar panels to trade their excess energy with those without, ensuring that the entire community benefits.
[0592] In some embodiments, transactional elements may be configured by a set of energy transaction enablement systems 144 to optimize energy generation, storage, or consumption, such as utility time of use charges. Shifting energy demand away from high-priced time periods with loT-based platforms that can identify periods where energy costs are the least expensive. By way of example, in regions where utility charges vary based on the time of use, the platform 102 can shift energy demand to periods when energy is cheaper. In an example, smart home devices, linked to the platform 102, can identify periods when energy costs are lowest and adjust operations, ensuring efficient and cost-effective energy consumption.Stakeholder Energy Digital Twins
[0593] The configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 may include a set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148, which may, In some embodiments, include set of digital twins that are configured to represent a set of stakeholder entities that are relevant to energy, including stakeholder-owned and stakeholder-operated energy generation resources, energy distribution resources, and / or energy distribution resources (including representing them by type, such as indicating renewable energy systems, carbon-producing systems, and others):Attorney Docket No. 54250-73stakeholder information technology and networking infrastructure entities (e.g., edge and loT devices and systems, networking systems, data centers, cloud data systems, on premises information technology systems, and the like); energy-intensive stakeholder production facilities, such as machines and systems used in manufacturing; stakeholder transportation systems; market conditions (e.g., relating to current and forward market pricing for energy, for the supply chain of the stakeholder, for the stakeholders product and services, and the like), and others. The set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148 may provide real-time information, such as provided sensor data from loT and edge devices, event logs, and other information streams, about status, operating conditions, and the like, particularly relating to energy consumption, generation, storage, and or distribution.
[0594] The set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148 may provide a visual, real-time view of the impact of energy on all aspects of an enterprise. A digital twin may be role-based, such as providing visual and analytic indicators that are suitable for the role of the user, such as financial reporting information for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO); operating parameter information for a power plant manager; and energy market information for an energy trader. A CFO, by way of example, may need a visual representation highlighting the financial cost of energy consumption, like how shifting operations to off-peak hours impacts the energy cost. In contrast, a power plant manager may be more interested in operational parameters, like the efficiency of the energy generation resources. An energy trader, on the other hand, may want insights into the energy market, like tracking prices. Thus, by offering insights tailored to individual roles, the set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148 ensures that different stakeholders have the relevant information they need to make informed decisions.Data Integrated Microservices
[0595] The configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 may include a set of data integrated microservices 150, such as organized in a service-oriented architecture, such that various microservices can be grouped in series, in parallel, or in more complex flows to create higher-level, more complex services that each provide a defined set of outputs by processing a defined set of outputs, such as to enable a set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108 or to facilitate Al -based orchestration, optimization and / or automation systems 114. The configurable data and intelligence modules and services 118 may, without limitation, be configured from various functions and capabilities of the set of intelligent data layers 130, which in turn operate on various data resources for energy edge orchestration 110 and / or internal event logs, outputs, data streams and the like of the platform 102.FIGS.2A-8: ENERGY EDGE ECOSYSTEMDATA RESOURCES FOR ENERGY EDGE ORCHESTRATION
[0596] Referring to FIG. 2A, the data resources for energy edge orchestration 110 may include a set of edge and loT networking systems 160, public data resources 162, and / or a set of enterprise data resources 168, which in embodiments may use or be enabled by an adaptive energy data pipeline 164 that automatically handles data processing, filtering, compression, storage, routing, transport, error correction, security, extraction, transformation, loading, normalization, cleansingAttorney Docket No. 54250-73and / or other data handling capabilities involved in the transport of data over a network or communication system. This may include adapting one or more of these aspects of data handling based on data content (e.g., by packet inspection or other mechanisms for understanding the same), based on network conditions (e.g., congestion, delays / latency, packet loss, error rates, cost of transport, quality of service (QoS), or the like), based on context of usage (e.g., based on user, system, use case, application, or the like, including based on prioritization of the same), based on market factors (e.g., price or cost factors), based on user configuration, or other factors, as well as based on various combinations of the same. For example, among many others, a leastcost route may be automatically selected for data that relates to management of a low-priority use of energy, such as heating a swimming pool, while a fastest or highest-QoS route may be selected for data that supports a prioritized use or energy, such as support of critical healthcare infrastructure.
[0597] Referring to FIG. 2B. the platform 102 and orchestration may include, integrate, link to, integrate with, use, create, or otherwise handle, a wide range of data resources for the advanced energy resources and systems 104, the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108, and / or the energy edge orchestration 110.

These include any of the wide range of software, data and networking systems described herein.Public Data Resources
[0599] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may track public data resources 162, such as weather data. Weather conditions can impact energy use, particularly as they relate to HVAC systems. Collecting, compiling, and analyzing weather data in connection with other building information allows building managers to be proactive about HVAC energy consumption. The public data resources 162 may include satellite data, demographic and psychographic data, population data, census data, market data, website data, ecommerce data, and many other types.Enterprise Data Resources

[0601] In some embodiments, the advanced energy resources and systems 104 may include distributed energy resources, or DERs 128. More decentralized energy resources will mean that more individuals, networked groups, and energy communities will be capable of generating and sharing their own energy and coordinating systems to achieve ultimate efficacy. The DER 128 may be a small- or medium-scale unit of power generation and / or storage that operates locally and may be connected to a larger power grid at the distribution level. For example, the DERs 128 may be either connected to the local electric power grid or isolated from the grid in standalone applications.Transformed Energy Infrastructure
[0602] The advanced energy resources and systems 104 orchestrated by the platform 102 may include a set of transformed energy infrastructure systems 120. The energy edge will involve increasing digitalization of generation, transmission, substation, and distribution assets, which in turn will shape the operations, maintenance, and expansion of legacy grid infrastructure. In some embodiments, a set of transformed energy infrastructure systems 120 may be integrated with or linked to the platform 102. The transition to improved infrastructure may include moving from SCADA systems and other existing control, automation, and monitoring systems to loT platforms with advanced capabilities.
[0603] In some embodiments, new assets added to or coordinated with the grid (e.g., DERs 128) may be compatible with existing infrastructure to maintain voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization. By way of example, consider a city that is incorporating renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels (DERs 128) into its existing power grid. These new assets need to integrate with the older infrastructure to ensure consistent power delivery. This compatibility ensures that even as the city transitions to greener energy sources, residents experience no fluctuations in voltage, frequency, or phase synchronization, ensuring a stable power supply.
[0604] Any improvements to legacy grid assets, new grid-connected equipment, and supporting systems may, In some embodiments, comply with regulatory standards from NERC, FERC, NIST, and other relevant authorities; positively impact the reliability of the grid; reduce the susceptibility of the grid to cyberattacks and other security threats; increase the ability of the grid to adapt to extensive bi-directional flow of energy (i.e., DER proliferation); and offer interoperability with technologies that improve the efficiency of the grid (i.e., by providing and promoting demand response, reducing grid congestion, etc.).
[0605] Digitalization of legacy grid assets may relate to assets used for generation, transmission, storage, distribution or the like, including power stations, substations, transmission wires, and others.
[0606] In some embodiments, in order to maintain and improve existing energy infrastructure, the platform 102 may include various capabilities, including fully integrated predictiveAttorney Docket No. 54250-73maintenance across utility -owned assets (i.e., generation, transmission, substations, and distribution); smart (Al I ML-based) outage detection and response; and / or smart (Al / ML-based) load forecasting, including optional integration of the DERs 128 with the existing grid. By way of example, consider a scenario where a utility company has a network of power generation and distribution assets, some of which are decades old. To ensure the longevity and efficiency of these assets, the platform 102 can offer predictive maintenance, alerting the utility company about potential issues before they become critical.
[0607] In some embodiments, power grid maintenance may be provided. With proactive maintenance, utilities can accurately detect defects and reduce unplanned outages to better serve customers. Al systems, deployed with loT and / or edge computing, can help monitor energy assets and reduce maintenance costs. By way of example, if a transmission line shows signs of wear and tear, the platform 102 can alert the utility company for timely repair. This proactive approach not only reduces unplanned outages but also reduce maintenance costs, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective power grid.Digitized Resources
[0608] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may take advantage of the digital transformation of a wide range of digitized resources. Machines are becoming smarter, and software intelligence is being embedded into every aspect of a business, helping drive new levels of operational efficiency and innovation. Also, digital transformation is ongoing, involving increasing presence of smart devices and systems that are capable of data processing and communication, nearly ubiquitous sensors in edge, loT and other devices, and generation of large, dense streams of data, all of which provide opportunities for increased intelligence, automation, optimization, and agility, as information flows continuously between the physical and digital world. Such devices and systems demand large amounts of energy. Data centers, for example, consume massive amounts of energy, and edge and loT devices may be deployed in off-grid environments that require alternative forms of generation, storage, or mobility of energy. In some embodiments, a set of digitized resources may be integrated, accessed, or used for optimization of energy for compute, storage, and other resources in data centers and at the edge, among other places. In some embodiments, as more and more devices are embedded with sensors and controls, information can flow continuously between the physical and digital worlds as machines ‘talk’ to each other. Products can be tracked from source to customer, or while they are in use, enabling fast responses to internal and external changes. Those tasked with managing or regulating such systems can gain detailed data from these devices to optimize the operation of the entire process. This trend turns big data into smart data, enabling significant cost- and process efficiencies.
[0609] In some embodiments, advances in digital technologies enable a level of monitoring and operational performance that was not previously possible. Thanks to sensors and other smart assets, a service provider can collect a wide range of data across multiple parameters, monitoring in real-time, 24 hours a day.
[0610] In some embodiments, the DERs 128 will be integrated into computational networks andAttorney Docket No. 54250-73infrastructure devices and systems, augmenting the existing power grid and serving to decrease costs and improve reliability. For example, the platform 102 by integrating DERs 128, such as localized solar farms or wind turbines, into a city infrastructure can significantly augment the existing power grid. By way of example, during peak demand times, rather than solely relying on traditional power plants, the platform 102 can enable energy management system of the city to utilize localized energy sources, which may, in turn, reduce the strain on the main grid and can also lead to substantial cost savings.Mobile Energy Resources
[0611] In some embodiments, DERs may be integrated into mobile energy resources 124, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and their charging networks / infrastructure, thereby augmenting the existing power grid and serving to decrease costs and improve reliability. Given the rise of EVs (of all types) charging infrastructure and vehicle charging plans will need to be optimized to match supply and demand. Also, growing electricity demand and development of EV infrastructure will require optimization using edge and other related technologies such as loT. Electric vehicle charging may be integrated into decentralized infrastructure and may even be used as the DER 128 by adding to the grid, such as through two-way charging stations, or by powering another system locally. Vehicle power electronic systems and batteries can benefit the power grid by providing system and grid services. Excess energy can be stored in the vehicles as needed and discharged when required. This flexibility option not only avoids expensive load peaks during times of short-term, high-energy demand but also increases the share of renewable energy use.
[0612] In some embodiments, in order to universally integrate electric vehicles and charging infrastructure into a distribution network, coordination with various other standardized communication protocols is needed. The platform 102 may include, integrate and / or link to a set of communication protocols that enable management, provisioning, governance, control or the like of energy edge devices and systems using such protocols. Herein, the platform 102 can serve as a central hub, integrating various protocols, ensuring that when an EV docks at a charging station, the communication between the vehicle, the station, and the grid is smooth, efficient, and coordinated.DISTRIBUTED ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEMS

In some embodiments, the distributed energy storage systems 304 may be portable, such that units of energy may be transported to points ofAttorney Docket No. 54250-73use, including points of use that are not connected to the conventional grid or ones where the conventional grid does not fully satisfy demand (e.g., where greater peak power, more reliable continuous power, or other capabilities are needed). Management may include the integration, coordination, and maximizing of return-on-investment (ROI) on distributed energy resources (DERs), while providing reliability and flexibility for energy needs.
[0614] In some embodiments, the DERs 128 may use various distributed energy delivery methods and systems 308 having various energy delivery capabilities, including transmission lines (e.g., conventional grid and building infrastructure), wireless energy transmission (including by coupled, resonant transfer between high-Q resonators, near-field energy transfer and other methods), transportation of fluids, batteries, fuel cells, small nuclear systems, and the like), and others.
[0615] The mobile energy resources 124 include a wide range of resources for generation, storage, or delivery of energy at various scales; accordingly, the mobile energy resources 124 may comprise a subcategory of the DERs 128 that have attributes of mobility, such as where the mobile energy resources 124 are integrated into a vehicle 310 (e.g., an electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, or the like, and in embodiments including a set of autonomous vehicles, which may be unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs), drones, or the like); where resources are integrated into or used by a mobile electronic device 312, or other mobile system; where the mobile energy resources 124 are portable resources 314 (including where they are removable and replaceable from a vehicle or other system), and the like. As the mobile energy resources 124 and supporting infrastructure (e.g., charging stations) scale in capacity and availability, orchestration of the mobile energy resources 124 and other DERs 128, optionally in coordination with available grid resources, takes on increased importance.
[0616] Resources involved in generation, storage, and transmission of energy are increasingly undergoing digital transformation. These digitized resources 122 may include smart resources 318 (such as smart devices (e.g., thermostats), smart home devices (e.g., speakers), smart buildings, smart wearable devices and many others that are enabled with processors, network connectivity, intelligent agents, and other onboard intelligence features) where intelligence features of the smart resources 318 can be used for energy orchestration, optimization, autonomy, control or the like and / or used to supply data for artificial intelligence and analytics in connection with the foregoing. The digitized resources 122 may also include loT- and edge-digitized resources 320, where sensors or other data collectors (such as data collectors that monitor event logs, network packets, network traffic patterns, networked device location patterns, or other available data) provide additional energy-related intelligence, such as in connection with energy generation, storage, transmission or consumption by legacy infrastmcture systems and devices ranging from large scale generators and transformers to consumer or business devices, appliances, and other systems that are in proximity to a set of loT or edge devices that can monitor the same. Thus, loT and edge device can provide digital information about energy states and flows for such devices and systems whether or not the devices and systems have onboard intelligence features; for example, among many others, anAttorney Docket No. 54250-73loT device can deploy a current sensor on a power line to an appliance to detect utilization patterns, or an edge networking device can detect whether another device or system connected to the device is in use (and in what state) by monitoring network traffic from the other device. The digitized resources 122 may also include cloud-aggregated resources 322 about energy generation, storage, transmission, or use, such as by aggregating data across a fleet of similar resources that are owned or operated by an enterprise, that are used in connection with a defined workflow or activity, or the like. The cloud-aggregated resources 322 may consume data from the various data resources, from crowdsourcing, from sensor data collection, from edge device data collection, and many other sources.
[0617] In some embodiments, the digitized resources 122 may be used for a wide range of uses that involve or benefit from real time information about the attributes, states, or flows of energy generation, storage, transmission, or consumption, including to enable digital twins, such as a set of adaptive energy digital twin systems 134 and / or the set of stakeholder energy digital twins 148 and for the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108. By way of example, a digital twin of public transport system in a city can predict energy needs based on commuter patterns, adjusting the operation of electric buses accordingly. Similarly, digital twins can be employed in various sectors, such as manufacturing units monitoring machinery energy consumption. Integration of the platform 102 with these digital twins ensures that energy is always used optimally, adjusting to the real-time needs of the corresponding system.
[0618] Energy generation, storage, and consumption, particularly involving green or renewable energy, have been the subject of intensive research and development in recent decades, yielding higher peak power generation capacity, increases in storage capacity, reductions in size and weight, improvements in intelligence and autonomy, and many others. The advanced energy resources and systems 104 may include a wide range of advanced energy infrastructure systems and devices that result from combinations of features and capabilities. In some embodiments, flexible hybrid energy systems 324 may be provided that is adaptable to meet varying energy consumption requirements, such as ones that can provide more than one kind of energy (e.g., solar or wind power) to meet baseline requirements of an off-grid operation, along with a nuclear battery to satisfy much higher peak power requirements, such as for temporary, resource intensive activities, such as operating a drill in a mine or running a large factory machine on a periodic basis. A wide variety of flexible hybrid energy systems 324 are contemplated herein, including ones that are configured for modular interconnection with various types of localized production infrastructure as described elsewhere herein. In some embodiments, the advanced energy resources and systems 104 may include advanced energy generation systems that draw power from fluid flows, such as portable turbine arrays 328 that can be transported to points of consumption that are in proximity to wind or water flows to substitute for or augment grid resources. The advanced energy resources and systems 104 may also include modular nuclear systems 330, including ones that are configured to use a nuclear battery and ones that are configured with mechanical, electrical and data interfaces to work with various consumption systems, including vehicles, localized production systems (as described elsewhere herein), smartAttorney Docket No. 54250-73buildings, and many others.

By way of example, in the case of a city, the set ofAttorney Docket No. 54250-73mobility demand solutions 152 can be utilized to predict peak travel times and adjust public transport schedules accordingly. Similarly, in case of a large corporate campus, the set of enterprise optimization solutions 154 can be utilized to manage its energy consumption, ensuring that office buildings are adequately powered during work hours while conserving energy during off-hours.Localized Production Solutions
[0625] In some embodiments, a set of localized production solutions 158 may be integrated with, linked to, or managed by the platform 102, such that localized production demand can be met, particularly for goods that are very costly to transport (e.g., food) or services where the cost of energy distribution has a large adverse impact on product or service margins e.g., where there is a need for intensive computation in places where the electrical grid is absent, lacks capacity, is unreliable, or is too expensive). The platform 102 can manage the energy consumption of the set of localized production solutions 158, optimizing usage based on available resources, especially in places where the conventional electrical grid may be absent or unreliable.
[0626] In some embodiments, power management systems may converge with other systems, such as building management systems, operational management systems, production systems, services systems, data centers, and others to allow for enterprise-wide energy management. The platform 102 by converging power management with the building management systems, the operational management systems, the production systems, the services systems, the data centers, and the like, can ensure that energy is used optimally across the board in the enterprise. For example, during off-hours, while the building management system reduces lighting, the data center can shift its heavy computations, balancing the overall energy load.
[0627] Referring to FIG. 5, the platform 102 may orchestrate the various services and capabilities described in order to configure the set of configured stakeholder energy edge solutions 108, including the set of mobility demand solutions 152, the set of enterprise optimization solutions 154, energy provisioning and governance solutions 156, and a set of localized production solutions 158.
[0628] The set of localized production solutions 158 may include a set of computation intensive solutions 522 where the demand for energy involved in computation activities in a location is operationally significant, either in terms of overall energy usage or peak demand (particularly ones where location is a relevant factor in operations, but energy availability may not be assured in adequate capacity, at acceptable prices), such as data center operations (e.g., to support high-frequency trading operations that require low-latency and benefit from close proximity to the computational systems of marketplaces and exchanges), operations using quantum computation, operations using very large neural networks or computation-intensive artificial intelligence solutions (e.g., encoding and decoding systems used in cryptography), operations involving complex optimization solutions (e.g., high-dimensionality database operations, analytics and the like, such as route optimization in computer networks, behavioral targeting in marketing, route optimization in transportation), operations supporting cryptocurrencies (such as miningAttorney Docket No. 54250-73operations in cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-work or other computationally intensive approaches), operations where energy is sourced from local energy sources (e.g., hydropower dams, wind farms, and the like), and many others.

For example, crops that have high water content can be produced locally, such as in containers that are equipped with lighting systems, hydration systems, and the like in order to shift the energy mix toward production of the crops, rather than transportation of the finished goods. The platform 102 may be used to optimize, at a fleet level, the mix of a set of localized, modular energy generation systems or storage systems to support a set of localized production systems for heavy goods, such as by rotating the energy generation or storage systems among the localized production systems to meet demand (e.g., seasonal demand, demand based on crop cycles, demand based on market cycles and the like).

[0633] The set of enterprise optimization solutions 154 may include a set of smart building solutions 512, where the platform 102 may be used to orchestrate energy generation, transmission, storage and / or consumption across a set of buildings owned or operated by the enterprise, such as by aggregating energy purchasing transactions across a fleet of smart buildings, providing a set of shared mobile or portable energy units across a fleet of smart buildings that are provisioned based on contextual factors, such as utilization requirements, weather, market prices and the like at each of the buildings, and many others.
[0634] The set of enterprise optimization solutions 154 may include a set of smart energy delivery solutions 514, where the platform 102 may be used to orchestrate delivery or energy at a favorable cost and at a favorable time to a point of operational use. In some embodiments, the platform 102 may, for example, be used to time the routing of liquid fuel through elements of a pipeline by automatically controlling switching points of the pipeline based on contextual factors, such as operational utilization requirements, regulatory requirements, market prices, and the like. In other embodiments, the platform 102 may be used to orchestrate routing of portable energy storage units or portable energy generation units in order to deliver energy to augment or substitute for grid energy capacity at a point and time of operational use. In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be used to orchestrate routing and delivery of wireless power to deliver energy to a point and time of use. Energy delivery optimization may be based on market prices (historical, cunent, futures market, and / or predicted), based on operational conditions (currentAttorney Docket No. 54250-73and predicted), based on policies (e.g., dictating priority for certain uses) and many other factors.
[0635] The set of enterprise optimization solutions 154 may include a set of smart energy transaction solutions 518, where the platform 102 may be used to orchestrate transactions in energy or energy-related entities (e.g., renewable energy credits (RECs), pollution abatement credits, carbon-reduction credits, or the like) across a fleet of enterprise assets and / or operations, such as to optimize energy purchases and sales in coordination with energy-relevant operations at any and all scales of energy usage. This may include, In some embodiments, aggregating and timing current and futures market energy purchases across assets and operations, automatically configuring purchases of shared generation, storage or delivery capacity for enterprise operational usage and the like. The platform 102 may leverage blockchain, smart contract, and artificial intelligence capabilities, trained as described throughout this disclosure, to undertake such activities based on the operational needs, strategic objectives, and contextual factors of an enterprise, as well as external contextual factors, such as market needs. For example, an anticipated need for energy by an enterprise machine may be provided as an event stream to a smart contract, which may automatically secure a future energy delivery contract to meet the need, either by purchasing grid-based energy from a provider or by ordering a portable energy storage unit, among other possibilities. The smart contract may be configured with intelligence, such as to time the purchase based on a predicted market price, which may be predicated, such as by an intelligent agent, based on historical market prices and current contextual factors.
[0636] The set of enterprise optimization solutions 154 may include a set of enterprise energy digital twin solutions 520, where the platform 102 may be used to collect, monitor, store, process and represent in a digital twin a wide range of data representing states, conditions, operating parameters, events, workflows and other attributes of energy-relevant entities, such as assets of the enterprise involved in operations, assets of external entities that are relevant to the energy utilization or transactions of the enterprise (e.g., energy grid entities, pipelines, charging locations, and the like), energy market entities (e.g., counterparties, smart contracts, blockchains, prices and the like). A user of the set of enterprise energy digital twin solutions 520 may, for example, view a set of factories that are consuming energy and be presented with a view that indicates the relative efficiency of each factory, of individual machines within the factory, or of components of the machines, such as to identify inefficient assets or components that should be replaced because the cost of replacement would be rapidly recouped by reduced energy usage. The digital twin, in such example, may provide a visual indicator of inefficient assets, such as a red flag, may provide an ordered list of the assets most benefiting from replacement, may provide a recommendation that can be accepted by the user (e.g., triggering an order for replacement), or the like. Digital twins may be role-based, adaptive based on context or market conditions, personalized, augmented by artificial intelligence, and the like, in the many ways described herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.
[0637] In some embodiments, the DERs 128 will be integrated with or into enterprises and shared resources, augmenting the existing power grid and serving to decrease costs and improve reliability. Increasing levels of digitalization will help integrate activities and facilitate new waysAttorney Docket No. 54250-73of optimizing energy in buildings / operations, and across campuses and enterprises. By way of example, by integrating the DERs 128, the campus can supplement its power needs with renewable sources. Digitalization of energy management can help the campus monitor and adjust its energy consumption in real-time. In some embodiments, this may enable increasing the operational bottom line of a for-profit enterprise by leveraging big data and plug load analytics to efficiently manage buildings. For example, the campus can manage its buildings efficiently, ensuring that energy is used where needed, optimizing operational costs.
[0638] In some embodiments, loT sensors and building automation control systems may be configured to assist in optimizing floor space, identifying unused equipment, automating efficient energy consumption, improving safety, and reducing environmental impact of buildings. By way of example, in a multi-storied office building equipped with loT sensors and building automation control systems, these systems can monitor energy consumption of each floor, ensuring that lighting and HVAC systems are optimized for the number of occupants. In an example, unused conference rooms can automatically switch off lights and adjust temperatures, reducing energy wastage.
[0639] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may manage total energy consumption of systems and equipment connected to the electrical network or to a set of DERs 128. Some systems are almost always operational, while other pieces of equipment and machinery may be connected only occasionally. By maintaining an understanding of both the total daily electrical consumption of a building and the role individual devices play in the overall energy use of a specific system, the platform 102 may forecast, provision, manage and control, optionally by Al or algorithm, the total consumption. For example, the platform 102, through Al and algorithms, can monitor and adjust energy consumption based on the specific needs of each building, optimizing energy use.
[0640] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may track and leverage an understanding of occupants’ behavior. Activity levels, behavior patterns, and comfort preferences of occupants may be a consideration for energy efficiency measures. This may include tracking various cyclical or seasonal factors. Over time, energy generation, storage and / or consumption of a building may follow predictable patterns that an loT-based analytics platform can take into consideration when generating proposed solutions. By way of example, during winter, if the platform notices residents tend to stay in during evenings, it can adjust heating accordingly. Over time, the system learns from these patterns, ensuring energy is used efficiently.
[0641] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may enable or integrate with systems or platforms for autonomous operations. For example, industrial sites, such as oil rigs and power plants, require extensive monitoring for efficiency and safety because liquid, steam, or oil leakages can be catastrophic, costly, and wasteful. Al and machine learning may provide autonomous capabilities for power plants, such as those served by edge devices, loT devices, and onsite cameras and sensors. Models may be deployed at the edge in power plants or on DERs 128, such as to use real-time inferencing and pattern detection to identify faults, such as leaks, shaking, stress, or the like. Operators may use computer vision, deep learning, andAttorney Docket No. 54250-73intelligent video analytics (IVA) to monitor heavy machinery, detect potential hazards, and alert workers in real-time to protect their health and safety, prevent accidents, and assign repair technicians for maintenance. By way of example, in a factory with multiple machines, the platform 102, through Al and machine learning, can monitor the health of the machines in realtime, predicting potential weak points, and suggesting timely maintenance and repair.
[0642] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may enable or integrate with systems or platforms for pipeline optimization. For example, oil and gas enterprises may rely on finding the best-fit routes to transfer oil to refineries and eventually to fuel stations. Edge Al can calculate the optimal flow of oil to ensure reliability of production and protect long-term pipeline health. In some embodiments, enterprises can inspect pipelines for defects that can lead to dangerous failures and automatically alert pipeline operators.Mobility Demand Solutions

[0648] The energy provisioning and governance solutions 156 may include solutions for governance of mining operations. Cobalt, nickel, and other metals are fundamental components of the batteries that will be needed for the green EV revolution. Amounts required to support the growing market will create economic pressure on mining operations, many of which take place in regions like the DRC where there is a long history of corruption, child labor, and violence. Companies are exploring areas like Greenland for cobalt, in part on the basis that it can offer reliable labor law enforcement, taxation compliance, and the like.

In some embodiments, energy generation control instructions (such as for a machine or set of machines) may be configured with embedded policy instructions, such as required confirmation of available offsets before a machine is permitted to generate energy (and carbon), or before a machine can exceed a given amount of production in a given period. In some embodiments, the embedded policy instructions may include a set of override provisions that enable the policy to be overridden (such as by a user, or based on contextual factors, such as a declared state of emergency) for mission critical or emergency operations. Carbon generation, reduction and offsets may be optimized across operations and assets of an enterprise, such as by an intelligent agent trained in various ways as described elsewhere in this disclosure.
[0652] The set of energy provisioning and governance solutions 156 may include a set of automated energy policy deployment solutions 534, such as where a user may interact with a user interface to design, develop or configure (such as by entering rules or parameters) a set of policies relating to energy generation, storage, delivery and / or utilization, which may be handled by the platform, such as by presenting the policies to users who interact with entities that are subject to the policies (such as interfaces of such entities and / or digital twins of such entities, such as to provide alerts as to actions that risk noncompliance, to log noncompliant events, to recommend alternative, compliance options, and the like), by embedding the policies in control systems of entities that generate, store, deliver or use energy (such that operations of such entities are controlled in a manner that is compliant with the policies), by embedding the policies in smart contracts that enable energy-related transactions (such that transactions areAttorney Docket No. 54250-73automatically executed in compliance with the policies, such that warnings or alerts are provided in the case of non-compliance, or the like), by setting policies that are automatically reconfigured based on contextual factors (such as operational and / or market factors) and others. In some embodiments, an intelligent agent may be trained, such as on a training data set of historical data, on feedback from outcomes, and / or on a training data set of human policy-setting interactions, to generate policies, to configure or modify policies, and / or to undertake actions based on policies. A wide range of policies and configurations may be implemented, such as setting maximum energy usage for an entity for a time period, setting maximum energy cost for an entity for a time period, setting maximum carbon production for an entity for a time period, setting maximum pollution emissions for an entity for a time period, setting carbon offset requirements, setting renewable energy credit requirements, setting energy mix requirements (e.g., requiring a minimum fraction of renewable energy), setting profit margin minimums based on energy and other marginal costs for a production entity, setting minimum storage baselines for energy storage entities (such as to provide a margin of safety for disaster recovery), and many others.
[0653] The set of energy provisioning and governance solutions 156 may include a set of energy governance smart contract solutions 538, such as to allow a user of the platform 102 to design, generate, configure and / or deploy a smart contract that automatically provides a degree of governance of a set of energy transactions, such as where the smart contract takes a set of operational, market or other contextual inputs (such as energy utilization information collected by edge devices about operating assets) as inputs and automatically configures a set of contracts that are compliance with a set of policies for the purchase, sale, reservation, sharing, or other transaction for energy, energy-related credits, and the like. For example, a smart contract may automatically aggregate carbon offset credits needed to balance carbon generation detected across a set of machines used in enterprise operations.
[0654] The set of energy provisioning and governance solutions 156 may include a set of automated energy financial control solutions 540, such as to allow a user of the platform 102 and / or an intelligent agent to design, generate, configure, or deploy a policy related to control of financial factors related to energy generation, storage, delivery and / or utilization. For example, a user may set a policy requiring minimum marginal profit for a machine to continue operation, and the policy may be presented to an operator of the machine, to a manager, or the like. As another example, the policy may be embedded in a control system for the machine that takes a set of inputs needed to determine marginal profitability (e.g., cost of inputs and other non-energy resources used in production, cost of energy, predicted energy required to produce outputs, and market price of outputs) and automatically determines whether to continue production, and at what level, in order to maintain marginal profitability. Such a policy may take further inputs, such as relating to anticipated market and customer behavior, such as based on elasticity of demand for relevant outputs.
[0655] In some embodiments, an automated energy and governance policy may refer to a policy that to which an underlying system must adhere. In other words, the automated energy andAttorney Docket No. 54250-73governance policy is like a rulebook that a system strictly follows. In some embodiments, a set of edge devices may enforce the energy policies for a set of “downstream devices” (which is any device that uses power in the edge devices covered area). By way of example, in a smart city grid, the automated energy and governance policy may be utilized to ensure that streetlights operate within certain energy constraints. Edge devices, as part of the platform 102, which may include energy-efficient controllers, may be tasked with ensuring these energy policies for other devices connected to them. In an example, during festive seasons when there are additional decorative lights in use, these edge devices can enforce energy policies, ensuring that the overall energy consumption of all lights (including the additional decorative lights, i.e., the "downstream devices") does not cross a predefined limit.
[0656] In some embodiments, an energy policy may define an upper limit of “carbon creation", meaning that individual devices or the collection of downstream devices may not exceed a total carbon footprint over a given time. By way of example, for a corporation aiming for carbon neutrality, an energy policy may be set to ensure that their buildings or factories don't exceed a certain carbon footprint. In an example, a company may have a policy stating that its operations do not create more than a specific tonnage of carbon emissions in a year. This ensures that the activities of the company remain environmentally sustainable, even as it scales up its operations.
[0657] In some embodiments, energy delivery mechanisms may include “energy source” metadata indicating how the energy being delivered was generated and a measure of carbon output per “unit-of-usage”. Thereby, if energy was generated by wind, solar, nuclear, etc., the carbon footprint per unit of usage would be zero or close to zero, but if it was coal, natural gas, gas, etc., it would have a non-zero factor. Consider an industrial plant powered by a mix of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. The energy delivered to the plant may come with metadata indicating its origin. If the energy was predominantly generated through green sources like wind or solar, the associated carbon footprint would be low. However, if a significant portion was from coal or natural gas, the footprint would be higher. In these cases, the power may be delivered in portable storage or wired storage. If wired storage with mixed grid, the energy source metadata may indicate the overall percentage of energy from each power source feeding into the grid (e.g., 20% renewable, 50% nuclear, 10% coal), such that the carbon output per unit of usage parameter may be derived from the respective percentages. Overall, this metadata can be especially useful for businesses operating in regions with mixed energy grids, helping them calculate their actual carbon impact.
[0658] In some embodiments, the edge device may monitor the amount of power being used by the set of downstream devices and may determine the carbon output based on the energy source metadata and carbon output rate associated with the energy source metadata. When the edge device determines that the set of downstream devices is approaching the policy limit, the energy and governance engine may take a set of preventative actions to avoid hitting the upper limit. Examples of preventative actions may include switching to a different energy delivery mechanism (which may be more expensive or less optimal in other ways), shutting down certain devices to reduce the energy spend, toggling energy usage between different devices, sendingAttorney Docket No. 54250-73alerts to human users, or the like. When the edge device determines the set of downstream devices exceeded the upper limit, the energy and governance engine may take a set of corrective actions to avoid hitting the upper limit. The corrective actions may include one or more of buying carbon offset credits, turning off the system, and switching to a carbon neutral operating mode. By way of example, in a residential community powered by multiple energy sources, an edge device may monitor energy consumption of households and determine their carbon output. If the residential community is approaching its carbon limit due to excessive use of nonrenewable energy, the platform 102 may shift more households in the residential community to solar power, despite potential added costs.
[0659] In some embodiments, management of the reliability and uptime from energy edge components may be critical parts of overall operation of a distributed edge environment. Like for any business, ensuring that its operations are uninterrupted is crucial. This is especially true for sectors like healthcare or data centers, where energy reliability directly impacts human lives or vital data. Therefore, maintaining the reliability and uptime of energy edge components becomes a non-negotiable aspect of their operations. The platform 102 is configured to ensure to identify such operations, and ensure that their operations are uninterrupted, such as, by diverting energy from other sources if needed.
[0660] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to provide and / or facilitate artificial general intelligence (AGI)-based governance of energy resources. The platform 102 may include one or more AGI agents configured to make decisions and interact with one or more of humans, other AGI agents, and components of the platform 102. The one or more AGI agents may be configured to make decisions based on an internal state of the one or more AGI agents. The platform 102 may be configured to create snapshots of the internal state of the one or more AGI agents, the snapshot being associated with decisions made by the one or more AGI agents. The platform 102 may be configured to analyze and / or monitor the snapshots to improve management and / or governance of energy resources.
[0661] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to monitor decisions of components of the platform 102 to perform, provide, and / or facilitate continuous and / or near-continuous correction and / or micro-adjustment of the components to align with strategic goals of the platform 102. By way of example, in large-scale energy projects, it is essential to ensure that all components work towards the strategic goals of the project. By continuously monitoring decisions of these components, the platform 102 can realign any deviations, ensuring that the entire system works in harmony.
[0662] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to detect bad actors. With increasing cyber threats, the ability of the platform 102 to detect bad actors becomes important. The platform 102 may be configured to perform one or more actions in response to detection of a bad actor. By way of example, if someone tries to manipulate the energy consumption data of a smart grid to gain undue advantages, the platform 102 can detect such anomalies and take corrective actions, like blocking of such manipulating agents, raising flags, etc.
[0663] In some embodiments, the platform 102 may be configured to track and monitor humanAttorney Docket No. 54250-73interaction with components of the platform 102 and related edge devices and / or energy devices. The platform 102 may track and monitor human interaction to evaluate consistency of decisions of distributed agents, thereby encouraging that decisions made by the platform 102 and components thereof are consistent across a plurality of distributed energy resources. The platform 102 may be configured to additionally, or alternatively, track and monitor one or more of decision-making about resource allocation by components of the platform 102, management of supply and demand...
