System and method for managing the delivery of electric power
First Claim
1. A system for managing delivery of electric power, comprising:
- at least one source of electric power supplying an aggregate amount of available power;
a plurality of electrical loads, each of said plurality of electrical loads having a priority designation;
a power management system electrically connected to said at least one source of electrical power and electrically connected to said plurality of electrical loads;
wherein said power management system is configured to monitor electrical power demanded by said plurality of electrical loads and to monitor the aggregate amount of available power by said at least one source of electric power and wherein, when said power management system determines that the aggregate demanded power exceeds the aggregate amount of available power, said power management system is configured to continue to provide power to each of said plurality of electrical loads but at resultant power levels which is less than demanded to one or more of said plurality of electrical loads based on the priority designation of the each of said plurality of electrical loads, wherein the power management system configured to continue to provide power is configured to adjust power waveforms for the power delivered to the each of said plurality of electrical loads based on the priority designations of the each of said plurality of electrical loads such that the adjusted power waveforms correspond to the resultant power levels to the each of said plurality of electrical loads.

Abstract
A system for managing delivery of electric power includes at least one source of electric power supplying an aggregate amount of available power and a plurality of electrical loads, each having a priority designation. There is a power management system electrically connected to the source of electrical power and to the plurality of electrical loads. The power management system monitors electrical power demanded by the electrical loads and the aggregate amount of available power of the at least one source of electric power. When the power management system determines that the aggregate demanded power exceeds the aggregate amount of available power, the power management system continues to provide power to each of said electrical loads but at a power level which is less than demanded to one or more of said plurality of electrical loads based on the priority designation of each of said electrical loads.
