16. A method for modifying the consumption of a heating device (11), the method being characterised in that it comprises the steps of:
-
receiving descriptive data of a state of an AC power grid (2); generating by a managing element (30) a power set point in accordance at least with said descriptive data of a state of said power grid (2); issuing said set point to a control module (12) of a heating means (110) of the heating device (11), the heating means (110) being supplied by the power grid (2) via a switching converter (120) rectifying the alternating current of the grid (2) into direct current; controlling by the control module (12) the switching converter (120) in accordance with the power set point so as to adjust the power of the heating means (110).
