LOAD BALANCING ARRANGEMENT

摘要

The invention provides an arrangement for use in an electrical power consumptio system associated with a local electrical generator (10) and an external electrical supply (11), the arrangement including electrical connections for at least two electrical appliances (12a, 12b) and a control unit (14) comprising a comparison device (14a) to compare the amounts of electrical consumption required by differe electrical appliances within the system and a power allocation device (14b) to allocate power from the local electrical generator (10) or the external mains suppl (11) to the electrical appliances according to specified priorities, and a user preference interface (15) to facilitate the input of user defined data into the power allocation device, whereby the control unit (14) can optimize usage of the power available from the local electrical generator (10), and when possible return power from the local electrical generator to the external electrical supply (11).
