IoT BASED POWER DEMAND CONTROLLER

Abstract

The system controls the current level electrical loads to maintain the total electrical power demand
during a demand interval within certain predetermined limits. The demand forecaster makes periodic projections
of the metered demand to the end of the demand interval based upon the current rate of energy consumption
(instantaneous demand) and the accumulated energy consumption during the demand interval. If the projected
value indicates that a demand peak will occur, the system signal interrupting the load to prevent the occurrence of
the peak. Conversely, if the system detects a projected low value of the demand, a "restore" condition exists
whereby the load is turned on to take advantage of the available electrical capacity.
