  • Automated demand response system and method
    Patent number: 9819186
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling power transfer between a power grid and at least one load. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a controller having a power regulator. The controller obtains grid data related to the power grid. The power regulator of the controller enables or disables and/or increases or decreases the power transfer between the power grid and a first load based at least in part on the obtained grid data and data relating to a power requirement of the first load. The power regulator may be coupled in line between an electric panel connected to the power grid and the first load. The controller may be coupled to the first load through a wiring system of a building. Multiple controllers may be coupled respectively to multiple loads, wherein each controller is configured to control a power transfer between the power grid and a respective load.
