ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing the peak load of energy supply network systems to which a number of consumer units, each of which has several consumers, are connected. The power consumption of the consumer units can be limited to a predetermined limiting value. At least some of the consumers of a consumer unit are operated one by one in a sequence controlled by a preselectable coordination program if the power consumption of consumers that are switched on has reached the predetermined limiting value. An apparatus for limiting the power consumption of a consumer unit that includes several consumers and is fed from an energy supply connection, comprises a coordination means that is connected to separating switches which are linked to at least some of the consumers and controls the separating switches via a program in such a way that the power consumption of the energy supply connection does not surpass a predetermined limiting value. If the predetermined limiting value of the power consumption is exceeded or not reached, the means causes the separating switches to open or close in a fixed sequence that is defined by a preselectable coordination program with which the coordination means is programmed.
