Abstract

A method and apparatus is presented for using excess electric power generated by a domestic alternative power generation system (101 ) connected to a domestic electricity wiring network. The excess power is consumed within a device whose power consumption may be varied using a control signal. The wiring network is also connected to an external electric power supply system (108). The method operates by measuring the net power flowing between the domestic wiring network and the external electric power supply system (108) together with its direction of flow. A control signal is created to adjust the power consumed by the power-consuming device in such a fashion that (a) the net power flowing from the domestic wiring network to the external electric power supply system (108) is kept near or below a predetermined threshold value (1 14); (b) it varies in response to the difference between the net power flowing and a predetermined threshold value; and (c) it is adjusted to reduce to zero the power consumed by the power-consuming device whenever the direction of net power flow is from the external electric power supply system to the domestic wiring network, or the net power flowing from the wiring network to the external electric power supply system is below the threshold.
