`1[a]. A method for
`managing an electric power
`flow within an electric
`power grid, comprising:
`
`
`Accused Products
`The Accused Products are used to manage an electric power flow within an electric power grid. The
`Accused Products manage power flow within an electric power grid, for example by controlling the flow
`of electric power to power consuming devices (e.g., heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”)
`units, air conditioning (“A/C”) units, furnaces, boilers, pool pumps, hot water heaters, etc.) in conjunction
`with demand response programs for reducing power consumption.
