ELECTRIC DEVICE AND POWER CONTROL DEVICE TO CHANGE DEMAND RESPONSE (DR) CONTROL LEVEL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H02J3/12 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: application: in electrical engineering. An electric device intended to change the demand response (DR) control level includes a memory unit for the storage of one level out of a multitude of DR control levels, each of them corresponding to the level of an energy rate as an initial level of the energy saving operation; a communications unit to receive the current energy rate and receive the current energy rate related to receive the current energy rate from the power supplier in real time; a user interface which at the receipt of a request to change the DR control level from a user displays a list consisting of a multitude of DR control levels and receives the desired DR control level from the user; and a controller to set the desired DR control level to the initial level of the energy saving operation at the receipt of the request to change the DR control level to the desired DR control level from the user interface, to compare the current energy rate with the desired DR control level from the multitude of DR control levels and to define whether the energy saving operation is to be performed, at that the energy saving operation includes the operation of power consumption from the electric device.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities.
