Abstract:
A demand management module may determine a demand interval that is associated with an electrical utility provider. In addition, the demand management module may determine a threshold amount of electricity received by an electrical meter during the demand interval. In some cases, the demand management module may determine a forecasted consumption during the demand interval, for load devices that receive electricity via the meter. Based on a comparison of the forecasted consumption and the threshold, the demand management module may determine whether to control electrical consumption of one or more of the load devices during the demand interval. For example, the demand management module may issue a command to a load managing device to increase or decrease the consumption of the load device.
