process for controlling the operation of devices in a control system of equipment with a cultural of devices consumers of resources.

摘要

The subject device control system provides a new method of determining when resource consuming loads are to be disabled to prevent the total resource consumption from exceeding a predetermined threshold. This system bases the decision making process on a customer controllable risk parameter, past consumption, past load shedding activity and predicted future load activity. The controlling algorithm is applied to the present resource consuming situation for a plurality of different time interval configurations and the worst case result of these computations is used to control the load shedding.
