I am a programmer and I've managed to design a password generator software without connecting my computer to the electrical grid. I've adapted an UPS and I've placed a generator on my treadmill. The energy stored after a day's workout is enough to power my computer for two whole hours.

In your excitement, your information is confusing me a bit, too. Is this hardware? A platform? Both? I see that you want to help people connect and become a part of a local energy market. That sounds great. But you also seem to make an actual green computing hardware product? I get that this is all connected. but slow down and simply, and explain the pieces so we can follow?

Thanks,
Allison

Hi Allison, You are right on. The Energy Computer operates as a home utility, allowing you to store energy from the grid and home renewable generation and dispatch it on demand. Further, GELI has integrated a patented energy router to direct energy to any point in your home or grid. The Energy Computer (EC) is a hardware and software platform to respond to dynamic pricing and communication signals from the grid, community and other energy operators. Did you know there is next to no energy storage on the power grid? Pairing energy storage with renewable energy generation makes it reliable and valuable for home and grid operation. In short, the Energy Computer combines internet communications and the power grid to create a robust energy network. The Energy Operator System software allows any smart grid software to operate with the Energy Computer and perform local and aggregate exchanges. Imagine local networks of energy storage balancing variable generation from wind and solar with variable loads. This is the Internet of Energy, the evolution of the smart grid. Thank you for your response and question and please keep asking questions, this is an important concept for everybody to understand. Thank you, GELI

I admit that I got lost in all that jargon both in your answer to Mera Gao, and in the description of the system on your website. Can you please tell us in as few words as possible, and in simple terms, what exactly this technology is set out to accomplish?

GELI's technologists have been developing techniques for very long-lived Li-ion battery storage. These techniques (mechanical & thermal integration circuit energy management and charge/discharge algorithm control) can also be applied to advanced lead-acid and any battery chemistry. The Energy Computer concept was derived as a vehicle for networking energy storage on the grid.

Where will the energy be stored?

Hello PK47, I just responded to Allison's post above, I will repost here. Thank you for your question and please keep them coming, understanding the Energy Computer platform is very important for everybody to help in operating the world's distributed, renewable energy grid.

Im missing the larger vision of your idea. It seems to be a mesh of all the key words used in next generation energy technology. Can you provide some more explanation?

As the energy industry enters its next stage of growth, the ability to leverage not only renewable but recyclable and redistributive energy will become the backbone of the new power grid. Consumers, governments, and companies are already exploring the boundless possibilities and efficiencies gained through innovations in the energy space through the integration of energy management and storage in appliances, EVs, homes and communities. The Energy Computer™ and the Energy Computer Network is the platform technology to integrate and evolve the UPS, the information network and the power grid into the Internet of Energy. The opportunity presented herein takes into account all of this activity in the energy category, and distributes the power of collective minds, resources, and needs to build the energy network of the future. It might sound ambitious, but that’s because it is. Growing Energy Labs, Inc. (GELI) is developing a transformational networked approach to energy production, distribution, and management that leverages and balances demand differentials to green the peak, improve reliability, enable demand response and efficiently use energy – while providing economic benefit down to the appliance level. We challenge the entrenched approach for meeting peak demands thereby providing regulators, policy makers, individuals, and communities with an effective and responsible means for reducing pollution, stimulating economic growth, and making renewable resources a viable alternative. We believe that establishing and growing a social and economic shift from traditional energy production and distribution to localized, networked, and sustainable systems are necessary for a healthy planet. Imagine a Smart Grid, Smarter—with an Energy Computer™ Today, energy storage is not used on the grid and utilities are just now learning about its value. GELI and Leyden Energy are providing a system that can be used at the appliance, residential and commercial level to provide a distributed and networked energy storage topology, effectively changing the Power Grid into an Energy Network. Our scalable Energy Computer™ and Energy Computer Network combined with our proprietary Energy Operator System transform the smart grid into the Internet of Energy for homes, businesses, and communities. GELI brings the information, power and energy hardware and software integration into a single system. Together, GELI and Leyden’s technology allows for energy to be locally generated, stored, dispatched and routed much like information is shared and transferred on the Internet. Being able to operate energy and power similar to the way information is distributed on the Internet will lead to a stable and robust system that can self-heal, locally balance itself, provide network routable, multi-channel, bi-directional UPS reliability and bring additional value to all operators. Much like how the Internet has moved to cloud computing, similarly, the Energy Computer Network can store, dispatch and route energy to and from many Energy Computers™ at the same time. Further, just as there is distributed information processing and distributed data storage, the Energy Computer Network can perform distributed power and distributed energy storage functions.

After carefully reviewing your idea, I'd like to add that the true value behind inovation relies heavily uopn an idea's ability to have future impacts economically, environmentally, and socially. These impacts are worth noting, because they remain the only way to help promote a greener and more energy efficient future. Through practical everyday application, it is ideas like yours and mine that will be critical to widespread changes. In order succeed in such an endeavor requires not only great enginuity, but also future market abilities. Check out the ideas I have submitted, and let's support each other to help build a better future.
