Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An equipment power management system in accordance with the present invention has a plurality of electrical devices and a control device. The electrical devices can operate in any one of multiple operational states different from each other in power consumption of a commercial power source. The control device switches the operational state of an electrical device to that of a smaller power consumption of the commercial power source in ascending order from the electrical device of the lowest priority when a receiving power amount of the whole equipment including the plurality of electrical devices exceeds a first threshold value until the receiving power amount falls below a second threshold value which is lower than or equal to the first threshold value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An equipment power management method to be carried out by a control device connected through a communication cable with a plurality of electrical devices operable in any one of multiple operational states different from each other in power consumption, each of the electrical devices consuming power supplied by a commercial power source, the method comprising: switching the operational state of the electrical device to that of a smaller power consumption in ascending order from the electrical device of the lowest priority when a receiving amount of power of the plurality of electrical devices exceeds a first threshold value until the receiving amount of power falls below a second threshold value which is lower than or equal to the first threshold value. 2 . The equipment power management method according to claim 1 , wherein the control device repeats the process of selecting the electrical device of the lowest priority as the reduction object from the electrical devices operating in an operational state other than that of the least power consumption, and switching the operational state of the selected electrical device to that of a smaller power consumption until the receiving amount of power falls below the second threshold value. 3 . The equipment power management method according to claim 2 , wherein the control device preferentially selects an electrical device operating in the operational state of a larger power consumption if every priority is identical in selecting the reduction object.
