More Information
Summary:The energy management system and method provide for the control of electrical loads within a group. In one embodiment, a plurality of electrical loads are connected to an electrical grid and, upon detection of a predetermined condition, a user-defined sub-set of the electrical loads are disconnected from the electrical grid. The predetermined condition may be, for example, a blackout, thus when an interruption in power from the grid is detected by one or more sensors, the user-defined sub-set of the electrical loads is electrically disconnected from its electrical connection to the grid power. Following this disconnection, at least one of the electrical loads from the user-defined sub-set of the electrical loads is connected to an alternative source of power, such as a backup battery, a solar power system, a generator or the like.
