20100207448 | LOAD MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER - The present invention relates to a load management controller for a household electrical installation comprising a pair of electricity supplies, a grid supply and a micro-generator supply, providing electricity to a plurality if sub-circuits. The household electrical installation has means to monitor the amount of electricity being supplied by the micro-generator supply and the amount of electricity being consumed in the household. The load management controller has means to access and use that information to control the supply of electricity to an energy storage sub-circuit to route surplus electricity supplied by the micro-generator to the energy storage sub-circuit. Furthermore, the load management controller can communicate with a remote electricity supplier to control the loads in the household to achieve better grid management and efficiency. | 08-19-2010 |
20100235010 | LOAD MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER FOR A HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION - This invention relates to a load management controller for a household electrical installation comprising a plurality of electrical sub-circuits. The electrical sub-circuits may each comprise a plurality of components, a single component or a part of a single component. A plurality of the electrical sub-circuits have electricity usage profiles containing rules determining the supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuit. The load management controller has access to the electricity usage profiles of the electrical sub-circuits and controls the supply of electricity to the electrical sub-circuit in accordance with the electricity usage profile related to that electrical sub-circuit. The household electrical installation may comprise a rechargeable battery bank or supply that may be used to provide power to the household electrical installation. | 09-16-2010 |
