ABSTRACT:
A power hub apparatus and an associated method of formation, and a system. The power hub apparatus includes a central power hub that encompasses M+1 tiers sequenced in a vertical direction (M>1). The central power hub includes a central area to which N radial arms are connected. Each pair of adjacent radial arms defines a docking bay in each tier such that N docking bays are defined in each tier (N>3). Each docking bay in each tier is vertically aligned directly above a corresponding docking bay in a directly lower tier. Irregular shaped modules are latched in each docking bay in each tier. Each module provides a functionality for responding to an alert pertaining to an event. The central area includes rechargeable batteries that provide electrical power for the latched modules in each tier. The system comprises a micro grid apparatus covered by a solar power skin.
