The present invention may be utilized in buildings including a plurality of zones. The present invention is advantageous in that the load adjustment sharing is intelligently adapted to the environment circumstances in the different zones.

Disclosed herein is a computerized method including operations of obtaining electrical grid metrics, obtaining electricity usage metrics from various sites, determining a clean response score indicative of a ratio of a total amount of carbon dioxide produced as a result of generation of electricity provided to the electrical grid and a percentage of the electricity supplied to the electrical grid that is generated using low CO.sub.2 emissions resources, wherein low CO.sub.2 emissions resources include renewable resources and nucelar resources, performing a threshold comparison operation with the clean response score to a threshold, and based on a result of the threshold comparison operation, automating the initiation of a curtailment strategy at a first site, which includes operations that reduce electricity usage at the first site. Automating the initiation of the curtailment strategy may include generating instructions that cause adjustment of the functioning of an electrical device to reduce electricity usage.

Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. A number of response levels may be utilized, each having an association to a corresponding set of reduction actions. The impact to customers, hosts, and/or workloads can be computed at run time based on current and/or predicted conditions and workloads, and a particular response level can be selected based on the computed impact. These techniques enable a sufficient, but least impactful response to be employed.

A system and method perform electricity and heat load balancing within a community of energy nodes. The system includes a central control device to solve an optimization problem over a planning horizon and to run an allocation algorithm. Local agent devices communicate with the central control device. Each local agent device receives input parameters from an energy node. Each energy node includes electricity generation equipment, electrical heat-generating equipment, and power transmission equipment, electricity storage equipment and thermal storage equipment. The local agent devices operate the electrical heat-generating equipment based on an allocation instruction received from the central control device. The central control device receives status information from the local agent devices to determine an amount of energy to be converted from electricity to heat by the electrical heat-generating equipment of the energy nodes, to provide the allocation instruction to the energy nodes.

Adapters for a power tool are backwards compatible with a variety of different power tools, battery packs, and other power tool devices. The power tool pack adapter fits between a power tool and a battery pack (or other such power tool devices) and provides extra functionality (e.g., voice control, cameras, machine learning, etc.) to a power tool or other power tool device. The added functionality can be implemented by a dedicated electronic controller and/or processor in the power tool pack adapter.
