The method of utility intervention includes: obtaining utility data from a utility data repository, (ii) detecting, using at least one type of anomaly-detecting module, at least one utility anomaly and a location address; (iii) calculating an amount of financial savings for the utility anomaly if the utility anomaly was remedied or addressed; (iv) computing a certainty score for the utility anomaly; (v) conveying information about the type of utility anomaly, and the location address of the utility anomaly; and (vi) displaying, on a display screen of a client device, a map depicting a geographical area that identifies, using a flag icon, the location address on the map of the utility anomaly, the type of the utility anomaly, a certainty score for the utility anomaly, and/or an amount of financial savings associated with the utility anomaly.

Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of a cryptocurrency processing solar power distribution architecture. In one aspect, a modular cryptocurrency computing power supply system includes a solar DC power generation system, a DC power bus, an electronic control system and a mining node power management system. The solar DC power generation system is structured to provide DC power to a DC/DC converter. The DC power bus is structured to selectably receive power from the DC/DC converter and to provide DC power to a plurality of mining servers. The electronic control system is structured to selectably control the cryptocurrency computing power supply system to operate in plurality of modes. The mining node power management system includes optimizing power distribution from the solar DC power generation system to the plurality of mining servers using a cryptocurrency solar curve algorithm generated based on an analysis of statistically predicted patterns of energy usage and production.

Two-way exchange vending can be performed by a two-way exchange based vending machine. The two-way exchange based vending machine can vend rechargeable batteries. The two-way exchange based vending machine can include different modules to perform different functionalities. The two-way exchange based vending machine can include a communications module, a dispensing module, a rejection module, and a receiving module. The communications module can communicate information to and receive inputs from a user. The dispensing module can dispense one or more rechargeable batteries or other requested products to a user. The receiving module can receive one or more rechargeable batteries from a user.

Energy resource dispensing terminals can be added one-at-a-time to a wide area resource distribution system very easily where needed as needed. Each terminal can dispense any of a number of types of energy resources such as electricity, compressed hydrogen, compressed air, and waste vegetable oil. The energy dispensing terminal includes a terminal control computer that interacts with customer computing devices, such as personal, portable computing devices or onboard computers installed in vehicles to effect negotiation and fulfillment of energy resource purchase transactions. A resource sharing server facilitates such transactions by maintaining and verifying identities of customers and sellers along with financial account information such that a registered customer can purchase energy resources from any seller registered with the same resource sharing server.

A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). To avoid theft and tampering of the portable electrical energy storage devices, by default, each portable electrical energy storage device is locked in and operably connected to the vehicle to which it provides power unless the vehicle comes within the vicinity of a collection, charging and distribution machine or other authorized external device such as that in a service center. Once within the vicinity of a collection, charging and distribution machine or other authorized external device a locking mechanism in the vehicle or within the portable electrical energy storage device unlocks and allows the portable electrical energy storage device to be exchanged or serviced.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for using a distributed ledger to track and manage industrial fixture assets, such as shelves, refrigerators, ovens, and air conditioning units. The distributed ledger is spread among multiple devices and, as devices report new data (such as current and voltage levels), additions to the distributed ledger can be made. The distributed ledger may use blockchain technologies, and each device in the multiple device may have distinct wallets which are used to pay for maintenance requests or other actions.

A system is provided for matching real-time renewable resource credits with energy loads. The system generates real-time renewable energy credits (RECs) in real time with one or more attributes. A real-time REC is evidence of production of a base amount of electricity with attributes that may include actual time of production, location of production, and power type. When a supplier generates a base amount of electricity using renewable energy, the supplier is issued a real-time REC indicating actual time and production location. A consumer may purchase the real-time REC from that supplier based on matching the consumer's consumption to the real-time REC, make a claim, and then retire the real-time REC. As a result of this matching of production and consumption based on actual time and location, suppliers of electricity generated using renewable energy may be incentivized to build renewable energy plants near consumers, resulting in less pollution and less loss of energy during transmission.

A system for charging a battery within an at least partially electric vehicle. The system includes a charging device wherein the charging device configured to electrically connect to the at least partially electric vehicle and charge at least one battery by a predetermined amount. The system also includes a network configured to determine the location of the charging device.

Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring and controlling the distribution of electricity. The power distribution platform includes an intelligent device that controls power delivery to a singular or plurality of end users. The device controls the times during which energy is delivered, and limits the electrical current available on a per socket basis. By limiting current draw, system operators can ensure that only high value appliances (LED lights, phone charging etc.) are powered. Local intermediaries buy credit in bulk from a power system operator, then sell it to users via a portable digital storage medium and mobile device in increments of days, weeks or months. Once loaded with credit, a user's power program is allowed to continue running for the specified duration. Further aspects of the embodiment include; usage data logging to cloud server, power theft detection and methods of synchronizing internal clocks of each intelligent device.

A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices. To charge, the machines employ electrical current from an external source. As demand at individual collection, charging and distribution machines increases or decreases relative to other collection, charging and distribution machines, a distribution management system initiates redistribution of portable electrical energy storage devices from one collection, charging and distribution machine to another collection, charging and distribution machine in an expeditious manner. Also, redeemable incentives are offered to users to return or exchange their portable electrical energy storage devices at selected collection, charging and distribution machines within the network to effect the redistribution.
