Abstract
The present techniques generally concern methods and systems for managing undesired effects in an electrical grid, which may include rapid voltage change(s) and/or flicker(s). The system includes an event detection module operatively connected to a plurality of horticultural light sources. The event detection module is configured to determine a power usage of the horticultural light sources, based on illumination conditions, detect an event affecting the illumination conditions, determine whether the event causes the undesired effects in the electrical grid, based on an evolution of the power usage of the horticultural light sources in response to the event, and send illumination instructions to the horticultural light sources to adjust the power usage of the horticultural light sources, if the event causes the undesired effects.
