A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided and includes a single-phase AC coupled battery or a three-phase AC coupled battery, a plurality of microinverters that are configured to connect to one or more battery cell core pack that form a local grid, and a controller configured to detect when to charge or discharge the single-phase AC coupled battery or the three-phase AC coupled battery so that energy can be stored therein when energy is abundant and used when energy is scarce.

According to an aspect, there is provided a computer device configured to control charging currents of at least a first charging station of an electric vehicle and at least a second charging station of an electric vehicle by internet based communications, wherein the charging stations are from different manufacturers, and wherein the charging stations are wirelessly coupled to the computer device.

A system for wireless communications includes an antenna and a controller, the antenna configured to transmit electrical data signals, the electrical data signals including an encoded message signal. The encoded message signal including one or more encoded message words. The controller is configured to encode one or more message words, of a message signal, into one or more encoded message words of the encoded message signal, based on a coding format. The coding format correlates each of a plurality of correlated ratios with one of a plurality of format words. Each of the plurality of correlated ratios is a ratio of a duty cycle of a pulse to a respective period associated with one or both of the duty cycle and the pulse. Each of the one or more encoded message words are encoded as one of the plurality of correlated ratios.

System and methods for determining loading on supply lines of a three-phase power distribution system. Load meters are connected to the supply lines to receive power. A feeder meter is connected to a supply line designated the reference supply line having a known reference phase. A device generates a timing pulse received by the load meters and the feeder meter. The load meters and feeder meter each determine a respective time delay and feeder meter delay from receiving the timing pulse until a landmark value of the power received. The feeder meter delay corresponds to the reference phase. Each load meter and feeder meter includes a transmission device to transmit the time delay or feeder meter delay. An end server receives the time delays and feeder meter delay and assigns each load meter to a phase by comparing the time delay for a load meter to the feeder meter delay.

A management system includes an equipment and a management device. The management device includes a transmitter that transmits a first command to the equipment to instruct an operation of the equipment. The equipment includes a controller that controls an operation of the equipment according to the first command, and a transmitter that transmits a response command containing a property indicating a state of the equipment to the management device. A property of the first command includes a variable property indicating a variable that can be changed by an operation of the equipment. The controller keeps a variable indicated by the variable property without any change when the operation instructed by the first command is kept continuous. The transmitter provided in the equipment transmits the response command containing a specific value as the variable property to specify whether the operation is performed according to the first command.
