Abstract

See full text

A method and system for controlling a building load in tandem with a replenishable energy source includes generating a control signal comprising at least one of a source command and a sink command. The control signal is transmitted over a communications network to a replenishable energy storage controller. Next, a capacity of the replenishable energy source is determined in response to the control signal. Then a capacity of the building load is determined in relation to the capacity of the replenishable energy source. After this determination, the building load is used as one of a source for supplying energy and a sink for receiving energy in response to the control signal. The replenishable energy source may also be used as a source for supplying energy or a sink for receiving energy in response to the command signal.
