Abstract
A method for managing allocation of electrical power includes selecting one or more power consuming entities for receiving a request to reduce electrical power usage (S) based on data pertaining to past selections of entities for receiving requests to reduce power and a history of compliance with said requests (S). A customized request to reduce power usage for each of the selected one or more power consuming entities is generated (S). The generated customized request to reduce power usage is received at a corresponding power consuming entity and a cost associated with complying with the received customized request to reduce power usage is evaluated (S). A commitment to comply with the received customized request to reduce power usage is returned when the evaluated cost is within a threshold of acceptability and negotiating a new request to reduce power when the evaluated cost is greater than a threshold of acceptability (S).
