Patent number: 7778737Abstract: A method and system for shedding loads based upon a power system characteristic, such as voltage or frequency, is provided. In one embodiment, a remote party, such as a power generator or utility, transmits a signal to a control device proximately located with a load device. Upon receipt of the signal, the control device measures the power system characteristic for a predetermined time to establish a baseline threshold. The control device then monitors the power system characteristic. When the power system characteristic falls outside the baseline threshold, the control device sheds load. In one embodiment, the loads are prioritized such that the load of least importance may be shed first.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Comverge, Inc.Inventors: John F. Rossi, Howard Ng

Patent number: 7648077Abstract: A system for communicating across conventional HVAC wiring is provided. The system includes a communication device having a communication module capable of inducing low power, high frequency current signals into a single control wire coupling, for example, a thermostat with a compressor. The communication module includes a power supply module that draws power sufficient to operate the communication module from the existing HVAC wiring, so as to eliminate any need for batteries or external power sources. A second communication module may be coupled to the single control wire. The second communication module operates as a transceiver sending communication signals to, and receiving communication signals from, the communication module. In one embodiment, the communication module is disposed within a building, for example coupled to an electronic thermostat, while the second communication module is disposed outside the building near the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Emerson Electric Co.Inventors: John F. Rossi, Paul Michael Huddleston, Mark Lee Barton, Bradley A. Smith, Howard Ng, Carl J. Mueller, James P. Garozzo, Cecil H. Barrett, Russell Thomas House

Publication number: 20090216382Abstract: A method (700) and system (100) for facilitating direct load control in an HVAC system while maintaining customer comfort is provided. A local controller (101) coupled to a HVAC system, receives direct load control signals from a remote source (111), such as an energy provider or utility. An analysis module (106) concurrently monitors the ambient temperature at the customer location. Where the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds a maximum temperature set point, the analysis module (106) modifies the load control signals to cause a local load (102), such as an air conditioner or heat pump, to maintain a customer comfort level.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Inventor: Howard Ng
