ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method manage delivery of energy from a distribution network (1.02) to one or more sites (1.04). Each site has at least one device (1.08) coupled to the distribution network. The at least one device controllably consumes energy. The system includes a node (1.10) and a control system. The node is coupled to at least one device (1.106) for sensing and controlling system. The node is coupled to the at least one device (1.10C) for sensing and controlling energy delivered to the device. A control system (1.12) is coupled to the node and distribution network for delivering to the node at least one characteristic of the distribution network. The node for controls the supply of energy to the device as a function of the at least one characteristic.
