Distributed electric power demand control

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5862619
;
A distributed load processing system for shedding and/or adding loads controlled by a plurality of processors for maintaining power demand by the loads below a predetermined amount including a common communication channel, a plurality of processors connected to the common communication channel, a demand meter for sensing the power consumption per sample period so that the power consumption per sample period can be transmitted to all of the processors, wherein each processor compares the demand limit established for the system to the projected power per interval being consumed, and for shedding and/or adding its associated loads based upon this comparison to maintain power consumption per interval below the demand limit.
