1. A method for controlling a load, comprising:

  • providing a total energy consumption of the load and a time window for the total energy consumption of the load from one or more energy sources,determining energy blocks, wherein the energy blocks are based on a power interval during a time interval, and wherein the time intervals are within the time window, andwherein the energy blocks are allocated energy-source-dependent costs,sorting the energy blocks in ascending order according to a level of the cost per energy block,summating quantities of energy that the energy blocks contain in ascending order of sorting until the total energy consumption of the load is reached,determining on and off times of the load using the time intervals that belong to the summed energy blocks, wherein the power intervals belonging to the respective energy blocks determine a power consumption of the load at the respective instant, andactuating the load in accordance with the determined on and off times.
