Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a local energy management system (LEMS) at local mixed power generating sites for providing grid services and grid service applications. The LEMS generally serves as a local power control agent for facilitating energy management at the local site level by controlling and leveraging a plurality of local assets deployed at the local site, and combining a plurality of generated power from each site which acts as its own virtual power plant for delivering grid services to the grid. In addition, the LEMS has the ability to effectively handle and fulfill energy and electrical objectives of the grid services, including regulation or demand response objectives from the grid, by conveying operational set points that control the power charge and discharge at each local asset in order to meet those objectives.

A power management device for intelligently splitting and controlling a high power outlet is described. The device includes a housing, power input, outlets, power sensor, and a controller. The housing has an internal compartment configured to hold components of the device and an exterior surface. The device has a plurality of outlets on the exterior surface of the housing. Each outlet is configured to connect to an appliance. Each outlet has a power sensor configured to sense current draw and/or power use at the outlet. The controller of the device is contained within the internal compartment of the housing and monitors the usage of each outlet via readings from the power sensors. The controller determines, based on the monitored usage and appliance parameters, one or more outlets to provide current to, and causes current to be provided to the determined outlet(s).

A control unit is located under a kitchen sink. The control unit controls the timing of the power demand from each device so that they can all be run from a single electrical circuit coupled to the control unit. The control unit also accommodates sensors and other accessories such as flow meters, electronic faucets, leak detectors, shutoff valves, and state communication either wired or wireless which allows these sensors and other accessories to be added with little additional cost beyond the cost of the sensors and other accessories.
