1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, measurements of electricity supplied to an electrical device via a voltage regulator;
identifying, by the controller, a predetermined confidence level corresponding to a probability distribution indicative of a characteristic of the electricity supplied to the electrical device;
determining, by the controller, a deviant voltage level based on electrical consumption by the electrical device, the measurements, and the predetermined confidence level; and
adjusting, via the controller, a voltage level supplied to the electrical device based on the determination of the deviant voltage level.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling electric power supplied to one or more electrical devices from a power source are disclosed. Measurements of the supplied electricity are detected. Estimated deviant voltage levels that the supplied electricity will not drop below or exceed as a result of varying electrical consumption by the one or more electrical devices is computed based on a predetermined confidence level and the detected measurements. A voltage level output of the electricity supplied to the electrical device is adjusted based on the computed deviant voltage level.

12. A system comprising:
-
a voltage signal processing circuit configured to receive measurements of electricity supplied to an electrical device via a voltage regulator; an adjustment decision processing circuit configured to identify a predetermined confidence level corresponding to a probability distribution indicative of a characteristic of the electricity supplied to the electrical device, and determine a deviant voltage level based on electrical consumption by the electrical device, the measurements, and the predetermined confidence level; and a controller configured to adjust a voltage level supplied to the electrical device based on the determination of the deviant voltage level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
