First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system to operate one or more energy consuming devices, said system comprising:
- a memory device configured to store;
a plurality of computer-executable instructions;
data indicative of a load shedding schedule representing one or more periods of elevated energy demand; and
data indicative of a load shedding override schedule associated with an energy consuming device; and
a processor coupled with said memory device and configured to read and execute the computer-executable instructions and to access at least one of the data indicative of the load shedding schedule and the data indicative of the load shedding override schedule, wherein when the computer-executable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is programmed to;
enable the one or more energy consuming devices during any portion of the load shedding schedule that coincides with the load shedding override schedule; and
disable the one or more energy consuming devices during any portion of the load shedding schedule that does not coincide with the load shedding override schedule.

Abstract
System, method, and computer-executable instructions for use in operating one or more energy consuming devices. A load shedding schedule and a load shedding override schedule that is associated with an energy consuming device are determined The energy consuming device is enabled during any portion of the load shedding schedule that coincides with the load shedding override schedule. The energy consuming device is disabled during any portion of the load shedding schedule that does not coincide with the load shedding override schedule.

10. A method for use in operating one or more energy consuming devices, said method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, a load shedding schedule representing one or more periods of elevated energy demand; receiving, by the computing device, a load shedding override schedule associated with an energy consuming device; enabling, by the computing device, the energy consuming device during any portion of the load shedding schedule that coincides with the load shedding override schedule; and disabling, by the computing device, the energy consuming device during any portion of the load shedding schedule that does not coincide with the load shedding override schedule. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by a processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
-
determine a load shedding schedule representing one or more periods of elevated energy demand; determine a load shedding override schedule associated with an energy consuming device; compare the load shedding schedule with the load shedding override schedule; enable the energy consuming device during any portion of the load shedding schedule that coincides with the load shedding override schedule; and disable the energy consuming device during any portion of the load shedding schedule that does not coincide with the load shedding override schedule. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
