ABSTRACT:
In an electrical load control system, an analog signal representing the actual rate of power being consumed by a plurality of loads has a nominal level when the actual rate is at a desired rate, or set point. As the level of the analog signal deviates from its nominal level, the electrical load control system functions to add or shed one or more of the loads to maintain the actual rate at the set point. During times of low power consumption, the electrical load control system may not act to optimize energy usage if the set point is not lowered. A set point control circuit is provided which senses the on/off status of one of the loads, or control load, and which provides a set point modification signal whose level represents a desired reduction in the set point and which varies in a predetermined range between minimum and maximum levels representing, respectively, no reduction in the set point and a maximum reduction in the set point. Whenever the control load is on, the set point modification signal slowly increases toward its maximum level, and whenever the control load is off, the set point modification signal rapidly decreases toward its minimum level. Summation of the set point modification signal with the analog signal in the electrical load control system effects the desired reduction in set point.
