    摘要: An appliance and method for enabling a consumer to easily override a low energy mode of an appliance to enable a feature or function of the appliance not typically available in the low energy mode. When an appliance or device is in an energy savings mode, multiple consumer requests for a given feature or function within a prescribed period of time can operate to override the energy savings mode and permit operation of the feature and/or function.

    摘要: A device and method for more accurately measuring power consumption in a residential application without having to make connections to high voltage sources in a distribution panel. Since the device calculating the power consumption generally needs to be powered to perform its functions (e.g., plugged into wall outlet), the disclosure utilizes the power supply as a voltage source for measuring voltage without having to make connections to the panel.

    摘要: A water heating control and storage system, including an insulated tank for containing water to be heated. The storage system has a heat exchanger connected to the tank for using energy stored during off peak times as in water heated above normal storage temperature. An operation control device receives a demand response signal and enables water to be heated in a heat storing mode to heat water for usage. A method for controlling a water heating storage system includes providing an insulated tank for containing water to be heated; providing a heat exchanger coupled to the tank; and selectively operating in a heat storing mode in which water in the tank is heated to a higher than normal temperature and a heat exchange mode during which heat is extracted from the water stored in the tank by a heat exchanger for supplying stored energy to another energy consuming load in response to a demand response signal.

    摘要: A power measurement device for use in a system susceptible to a plurality of potential voltage supply and current sensing connection configurations or states, operative to simulate the actual connection configuration and compute power consumed accordingly. The device includes a controller configured to receive a voltage supply input and a current measurement input; and a meter state selection device coupled to the controller, the meter state selection device being operative to selectively simulate a plurality of state settings, each state setting corresponding to a potential voltage and current sensing configuration state. The controller is operative to calculate a value of power consumed for each simulated potential configuration state, determine the simulated configuration state which provides maximum value for power consumed; and set the state of the meter state selection device to correspond to the configuration state which calculated the maximum value as the correct state for measuring power consumption.
