By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntor Decker, David (Atlanta, GA, US), filed on November 3, 2022, was made availa ble online on May 9, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "In a resource distribution system, such as an electric grid t hat delivers electric power, premises may consume resources at varying rates ove r a period of time based on devices at the premises that consume the resources o f the resource distribution system over the period of time. For example, the pre mises may consume a greater amount of electricity at various times throughout th e day when an electric vehicle is charging at the premises. To ensure sufficient power generation to meet demand on the electric grid, it may be beneficial to a ccurately track premises that regularly charge electric vehicles. "Demands on a grid may change over time as additional electric vehicles require charging at various premises connected to the grid. For example, quantities of p remises charging electric vehicles and various types of chargers used at the pre mises to charge the electric vehicles may change over time. Accurately tracking premises charging electric vehicles with minimal input from an occupant of the p remises may be useful in driving the management of power generation in a resourc e distribution system."
