Intelligent Information
Technology Set
The aim of
the Intelligent Information Technology Set
is to enable the formation of Intelligent
Power Networks capable of linking and managing thousands to millions of
point-of-use power generation systems.
The intelligence in Intelligent Power Networks must be
distributed. Large-scale distributed energy generation and supply involving
thousands of units or more in a local power network requires real-time two-way
metering of all key parameters of power flow and quality, local low-latency
management of the units, as well as on-premises energy management, and power
grid management.
|
The
only way to achieve this cost-effectively is through a seamless integration of
local and non-local metering and management activities, hence the
“distributed” label. With sufficient distributed computing power
it is cost-effective to not only meter and manage power flows in real-time but
to also effect power factor
correction and |
 |
|
“clean” the power at all
points of use and supply. |
Intelligent Information Technology Set requires
NoN-G
communication systems of the IndraNet type. While most conventional
telemetry functionality generally does not require much bandwidth, the real-time
metering and management functionality combined with the distributed computing
power in large intelligent power networks does require broadband
capacity that is extremely low cost broadband wireless communication
networks of a fractal, layered mesh nature that current centralised
communications cannot provide..
Distributed networks of networks based intelligence is a key
feature of the IndraNet patent. The non-dual IndraNet FraMe network
architecture
and the distributed MinderOS software it embodies together form the enabling
technology that makes the development and deployment on a large scale of
Intelligent Power Networks and the realisation of Yeager’s vision possible.

“Yeager believes they will operate more like the
Internet, as part of a complex web through which people will supply
electricity as well as downloading it. And countries that don’t
have large‑scale power networks will cease to need them. The
result will be greater efficiency, less pollution and an end to
power cuts… I’ll be able to go down to Wal‑Mart and pick a
micro-generator off the shelf to power my house. I will take it home
and connect it to the gas pipe. It will generate power as well as
heating my house and producing hot water. And it will be much
cheaper than using the power grid.”
“Every node in the power network of the future will
be awake, responsive, adaptive, price-smart, eco-sensitive,
real-time, flexible, humming – and interconnected with everything
else.” |
