Problems solved by technology

This initial influx can jeopardize the power grid and cause it to be fully loaded, thus causing a temporary reduction or shutdown of power (restriction or blackout)
Also, operating out of a "peaker plant" is expensive and may not be environmentally friendly

Embodiment Construction

[0016] Utilities provide energy through systems that are off-loaded during peak hours of the day. For example, approximately 50% of household energy costs are due to heating and cooling. In the hot summer months, air-conditioning can account for 60-70% of household energy costs. During hot summer days, the peak load can approach the provider's supply level, which creates brownout and higher average energy costs. In order to continuously meet demand, utility companies can receive electricity from outside the market or build additional power plants (for example, gas-fired peaking power plants). This costs a lot of capital and additional investment to obtain a backup power plant that is usually inefficient. Therefore, there are concerns about how to dispatch the load in order to reduce the load on the system and how to meet the energy requirements without the need for additional power plants or no lighting control.

[0017] The demand response (DR) system controls the energy load...

Abstract

Methods (200) and a system are disclosed for one or more appliances (102, 104, 106) including a controller (110) for managing power consumption within a household. The controller (110) is configured to receive and process a signal (112) indicative of one or more energy parameters of an associated energy utility, including at least a peak demand period or an off-peak demand period. A generated serial number is obtained from an original serial number (108) of the appliance (102, 104, 106) or controller (110), which is configured for a signal (112) to communicate to the appliance (102, 104, 106) within a population and command the appliance (102, 104, 106) to operate in an energy savings mode and a normal mode at various time periods. The generated serial number (GSN) is used to segregate a total population into segments to provide granularity in assigning DR activations and deactivations based upon the GSN.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to energy management, and more specifically, to an electric device control method and an electric power consumption system. The present disclosure is particularly suitable for energy management of appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, HAVC systems and the like. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce high peak power demand, many utility companies have established time-of-use (TOU) metering and tariffs. This includes higher rates for energy use during on-peak hours and more energy use during off-peak hours. Low rates. Therefore, consumers are provided with incentives to use electricity during off-peak hours rather than on-peak hours, and always reduce the overall energy consumption of appliances. [0003] By adopting head-end management systems, such as companies or projects responsible for monitoring and running demand response projects, the utility power system becomes "smart" and capable of deman...
