Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for detection of ‘standby’ state’ in linear and non-linear loads connected to an electric power grid and automatic disconnection of the linear and non-linear loads for achieving zero consumption in a system, the method comprising: a) detecting a normal operating state of at least one load using a means for detection; b) obtaining a maximum value of a current in the at least one load in the normal operating state; c) detecting entry into a standby mode of the at least one load, by means of a computing device processor, wherein the standby mode is detected when a value of the current in the at least one load at a specific time is less than a percentage P of the maximum value of the current of the at least one load in the normal operating state; d) evaluating a value for a current of the at least one load for a predetermined time T; and e) disconnecting the at least one load and the means for detection from all sources of electrical energy when the value of the at least one load does not return to the maximum value during the predetermined time T.
