<p>A system for distributing electrical power of a local power generation facility (1), preferably RES (Renewable Energy Sources) facility, among a group of competing consumers (3), comprises a first interface for receiving power availability information from said local power generation facility, a second interface for enabling consumers (3) to submit jobs to be executed, wherein each job relates to an appliance having a particular power profile, and wherein each job is assigned a deadline until which the job must finish, a queue (4) for buffering submitted jobs that still wait to be executed, and a scheduler that is configured to perform online scheduling of queued jobs by matching the respective appliance power profiles and job deadlines with power availability according to predefined rules, wherein a differentiation among the jobs of different consumers (3) is introduced depending on the consumers' (3) energy usage patterns.</p> |
