1. A process for managing power demand of one or more appliances, the process comprising the steps of:
- assessing for each appliance an energy consumption profile of the one or more appliances corresponding to its setting, summing the energy consumption profiles to determine if their sum leads to one or more peaks in power demand, and providing one or more new energy consumption profiles to the one or more appliances for leveling the total power absorbed by appliances.

- 6. A system for managing and curtailing power demand of appliances, each appliance having an user interface connected to a control unit for setting working parameters of the appliance, wherein the control unit is adapted to assess, for each appliance an energy consumption profile corresponding to its setting, the control unit being adapted to sum the energy consumption profiles in order to check if their sum leads to one or more peaks in the power demand and to provide one or more new energy consumption profiles in order to level or reduce the total power absorbed by appliances or components thereof.
