1. A power management device (300) for a power generation system (50) that provides a source of alternating current to the device (300) through a power grid circuit (80), the device (300) comprising:
a control unit (10);
a data transmission and reception module (20) for receiving an external command signal; and
at least one switching element (30a, 30b);
wherein the control unit (10) actuates the at least one switching element (30a, 30b) so as to selectively open and close the power grid circuit (80) upon receiving the external command signal to allow or prevent the passage of alternating current.
