Abstract:
A method for balancing electric consumption generated by a plurality of electric loads includes: estimating an absorbed energy (E k ) by the loads in a predetermined time interval, and if a value of the estimation of absorbed energy by the loads is not within an interval defined by a minimum and a maximum consumption threshold, calculating a quantity of energy to be varied in accordance with a difference between the value of the estimation of the absorbed energy and an expected value of energy, determining a strategy comprising at least an action to be carried out to vary the energy supplied to the single loads, with an aim of reducing the difference between the estimated absorbed energy and the expected value thereof, actuating a scheduling of electric consumption in accordance with a determined strategy.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for balancing electric consumption generated by a plurality of electric loads, the method comprising following steps:\n estimating an absorbed energy (E k ) by the loads in a predetermined time interval, and if a value of the estimation of absorbed energy (E k ) by the loads is not within an interval defined by a minimum (THR k,min ) and a maximum (THR k,max ) consumption threshold, calculating a quantity of energy to be varied in accordance with a difference (\u0394 h ) between the value of the estimation of the absorbed energy (E k ) and an expected value of energy (THR k,exp ), determining a strategy comprising at least an action (Vr i ) to be carried out to vary the energy supplied to the single loads, in order to reduce the difference (\u0394 h ) between the estimated absorbed energy (E k ) and the expected value (THR k,exp ) thereof, and actuating a scheduling of electric consumption in accordance with a determined strategy, wherein the step of determining the variation strategy of the energy supplied to the loads comprises a step of determining available variations (Vr i ) of energy which can be supplied to the loads, and wherein the variations (Vr i ) of the energy supplied to the loads are made by selecting the loads to be varied so as to minimize an impact on the perceived comfort based on a following criterion: min \ue89e \u2211 i = 0 N \ue89e X i * Priority \ue8a0 [ Vr i ] where X i  is a binary line vector [1,N] identifying whether a variation is used, Priority [Vr i ] is an index proportional to the impact the i-th variation Vr i  has on the perceived comfort and N denotes the number of available actions.
