METHODS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS FOR POWER MONITORING

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring an electrically powered element are described. A set of power usage measurements are received for a set of elements from a hardware-based power measurement device separate from the set of elements, the set of power usage measurements resulting from usage of the set of elements by a set of users. A behavior of the set of users is determined based at least in part on the set of power usage measurements. Based on the behavior of the set of users, at least one of the set of elements performs an action that affects a power function of the at least one of the set of elements.
