Abstract

A load control receiver (LCS) for controlling an electrical load. The LCS includes a power sensing arrangement that monitors power usage of the load; a processor that predicts future power usage based on prior power usage; a transceiver that receives load shedding commands; and a controllable switch that can interrupt power supplied to the attached loads, based on load shedding commands.
