SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING ELECTRIC POWER CONSUMPTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H02J13/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to controlling electric power consumption, particularly to a system and a method of reducing consumption in consumption by request systems. The system for reducing electric power consumption includes a central server and a plurality of devices which reduce electric power consumption. The central server of the system has a network interface configured to transmit and receive information to/from a communication network; a unit which determines the state of the electric mains, connected to the network interface and configured to transmit a message on the state of electric power consumption through the network interface and a network of at least two devices which reduce electric power consumption, connected to the network; a unit which calculates a bonus for saving electric power, configured to determine the total bonus earned for overall reduction of electric power consumption initiated by at least two devices which reduce electric power consumption in response to reception of a message on the state of electric power consumption, and also configured to determine, in the total bonus, individual parts associated with each of the devices which reduce electric power consumption.

EFFECT: improved control system in order to reduce electric power consumption.
