2. Voltage reduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_reduction

   When a utility reaches a point where power demand is expected to exceed supply, utilities only have two options. Either purchase power from another utility, usually at substantial prices, or reduce demand. Often utilities use load management systems to turn off customers' air conditioners, water heaters, and pool pumps to reduce demand. Voltage ...

3. Energy demand management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_demand_management

   During peak demand time, utilities are able to control storage water heaters, pool pumps and air conditioners in large areas to reduce peak demand, e.g. Australia and Switzerland. One of the common technologies is ripple control: high frequency signal (e.g. 1000 Hz) is superimposed to normal electricity (50 or 60 Hz) to switch on or off devices ...

4. Load balancing (electrical power) - Wikipedia

   Typically, a storage device for space heating or a water heater will be connected to this circuit. The electricity is turned on after the evening peak demand, and turned off in the morning before the morning peak demand starts. The cost for such power is less than the "on-demand" power which makes it worthwhile for the user to subscribe to it.

5. Load management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_management

   Proper load management by the utility allows them to practice load shedding to avoid rolling blackouts and reduce costs. Ripple control can be unpopular because sometimes devices can fail to receive the signal to turn on comfort equipment, e.g. hot water heaters or baseboard electrical heaters.
