    Abstract: A control method and system for operating an electrical component from an electrical distribution network maximises the advantage to be gained from the component simultaneously following two power-consumption strategies. The first strategy D(t) is relatively slow-moving, for example increasing consumption when electricity prices are lower, whereas the second F(t) requires fast-moving adjustments, for example when providing a frequency responsive service to counter network power imbalances. The method involves operating the component to follow a strategy with the fast-moving function F(t) superimposed on a baseline power function B(t), with B(t) derived from the slow-moving function D(t). In applying the invention to a binary component (i.e. one that is either “off” or “on”) that is providing the responsive service as part of a group of such components, B(t) is derived both from D(t) and also from past values of F(t). The effect of F(t) is mitigated by determining the value of B(t) for each of a sequence of subintervals by a method that takes into account its contribution to power consumption in all previous subintervals.
