SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR OVERALL LOAD BALANCING BY SCHEDULED AND PRIORITIZED REDUCTIONS

摘要

Accessing an energy management policy for a plurality of devices is described, wherein the devices are coupled with a first structure. The energy usage of the devices is monitored. An energy usage rule and energy usage is then compared. The energy management policy and energy usage is also compared. Based on the comparing, an instruction is generated to modify an energy usage profile of said device to correlate with the energy usage rule associated with the devices and the energy management policy, thereby enabling efficient energy management.
