SYSTEM TO REGULATE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF DEVICES

摘要

A system and method to regulate an energy consumption of a medical device having a plurality of subsystems is provided. The system includes a controller connected in communication with the medical device. The controller has a series of program instructions for execution by a processor to perform the steps of calculating a predicted variability in a customer load on the medical device over a future time period. The controller can generate a signal with an instruction of a demand for one of a plurality of operating states of the medical device based on the predicted customer load, and communicate the signal to the device so as to change the operating state of the medical device.
