Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“To address climate change, utility providers are replacing fossil fuel plants with renewable power andaccelerating electrification. Greening the grid, however, creates new challenges. As such, residents mayface higher overall energy costs, and utility providers need ways to harness clean, low-cost power producedduring off-peak periods.“Accordingly, it is desirable to provide new methods, systems, and media for automatic and continuouscontrol of energy-consuming devices.”
