First Claim
Patent Images
1. An add/shed system for adding/shedding loads to maintain a building'"'"'s power consumption below a predetermined level, each load being assigned to at least one of multiple types of add/shed routines, each routine controlling the adding/shedding of said loads in a different sequence, said system comprising:
- a plurality of loads; and
,processor means connected to said plurality of loads and adapted to be connected to a power meter for determining which of said plurality of loads should be added/shed to maintain power consumption below said predetermined level and for determining which type of the multiple types of add/shed routine is assigned to each load, said processor means for adding/shedding each load according to its assigned routine.

7. An add/shed system for adding/shedding loads to maintain a building'"'"'s power consumption below a predetermined level, each load being assigned to one of a plurality of shed orders depending upon a preassigned add/shed priority, each shed order being assigned to one of multiple types of add/shed routines, each different type of routine controlling the sequence of adding/shedding of the loads assigned to its associated order, any of the multiple of types of add/shed routines capable of being assigned to more than one shed order, said system comprising:
-
a plurality of loads; and
,processor means connected to said plurality of loads and adapted to be connected to a power meter for determining which of said plurality of loads should be added/shed to maintain power consumption below said predetermined level and for determining which shed order and which multiple type of add/shed routine are assigned to each load, said processor means for adding/shedding each load first according to its shed order and then according to the routine assigned to the shed order. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
