ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for monitoring an energy management system which controllably drops load in response to preselected conditions. The apparatus periodically interrupts the energy management system to restore full load. The apparatus monitors energy usage immediately prior to interrupting the energy management system and also monitors the energy usage during interruption when the load is restored. The information gathered at these two times represents the actual energy used when the energy management system is conserving energy, and when the energy management system is disabled and full energy usage is realized. The difference between the two energy usages represents the energy savings realized by using the energy management system.
