Method and system for electricity consumption profile management for consumer devices
First Claim
1. A method of electricity consumption profile management for electrical devices, comprising:
- receiving an energy consumption control command at a consumer site including one or more electrical devices connected to an energy distribution network, wherein the energy consumption control command includes an on demand energy consumption adjustment request from an energy utility for adjusting energy consumption at the consumer site by a given amount for a given time period;
determining energy consumption adjustment including determining an energy consumption adjustment for at least one of the electrical devices based on the energy consumption control command; and
transmitting an energy consumption adjustment message to said at least one of the electrical devices, commanding the electrical device to adjust its electrical energy consumption by transitioning from a first energy consumption state to a second energy consumption state in response to the energy consumption adjustment message.
