Summary
The applications relate to improvements to energy management systems used on sites which are connected to a power grid but also have their own on on-site power sources. The claims related to methods and associated apparatus to more efficiently manage the power production and distribution based on criteria associated with each discrete producer and consumer in the network. The Hearing Officer applied the four step Aerotel test, and the AT&T signposts and found the contribution to be a computer implemented business method which was not technical in nature. The application was refused under section 18(3).
