ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for managing an energy consuming load in a group of energy consuming loads comprising the load and a plurality of other loads, including a transmitter to transmit a set of load state data generated from the load and a receiver to receive sets of load state data generated from the other loads. A processor generates the set of load state data from the load, to compile the set of load state data from the load with the sets of load state data from the other loads, and to process the compiled sets of load state data in order to make an enablement state decision for the load, wherein the enablement state decision reflects an enablement state of the load which is either a load enabled or a load disabled state. The enablement state decision is made independently of the other loads, and is implemented by a controller.
