Method for managing electric power in a network (R) to which are connected, on the one hand, appliances capable of 2-way communication with each other, each appliance consisting of a power subassembly and a control subassembly and, on the other hand, a so-called power manager unit designed to manage load shedding and reconnection functions exclusively affecting the said power subassemblies of each appliance with each disconnectable appliance being disconnected a priori. Any request for significant electric power made by a disconnected appliance results in a transaction between the said appliance and the power manager during which the said requesting disconnected appliances supplies the said power manager with information of a quantitative and qualitative nature concerning the power requested and on completion of which the said power manager authorizes or does not authorize reconnection of the power subassembly of the said requesting appliance. Used for the implementation of home networks equipped with dynamic management of electric power.
Method of managing electric power in a network within a dwelling to which electrical devices and a power manager capable of two-way communication with each other are connected, said electrical devices comprising disconnectible electrical devices, said power manager being designed to manage load shedding and reconnection functions of said disconnectible electrical devices, said disconnectible electrical devices comprising a control subassembly and at least one power subassembly, wherein each disconnectible electrical device is initially disconnected, any request for significant electrical power by a previously disconnected electrical device resulting in a communication between said initially disconnected power requesting electrical device and said power manager during which said requesting electrical device supplies said power manager with information of a quantitative and qualitative nature concerning the power requested by said requesting electrical device, and on completion of said communication, said power manager decides whether to authorize reconnection of said requesting electrical device.
System for globally managing electric power in a home network to which disconnectible electrical devices and a power manager capable of two-way communication with each other are connected, each disconnectible electrical device comprising:
