Energy management system and method

摘要

An energy management system (100) manages energy consumption of managed device(s) (102) disposed to receive energy via a meter (106) connected to an energy supply (10). A system controller (101) instructs the managed device(s) to employ an operational mode based on the priority, the energy need, the demand state, and whether the energy consumption rate of the managed device(s) exceeds energy available from at least one of the external energy source and internal energy source (116, 117).
