ABSTRACT:
A method for managing an energy consuming load in a group of energy consuming loads and a method for managing the group of energy consuming loads. The method includes generating sets of load state data from the loads, making enablement state decisions for one or more loads independently of the other loads using the sets of load state data, and implementing the enablement state decisions. An apparatus for managing an energy consuming load in a group of energy consuming loads, including a transmitter for transmitting a set of load state data generated from the load, a receiver for receiving sets of load state data from other loads, a processor for processing the sets of load state data to make an enablement state decision for the load, and a controller for implementing the enablement state decision.
