AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Power distribution transformers are prone to overheating due to varying loads, particularly from increased electric vehicle charging, necessitating improved monitoring and control systems to prevent overloads.
Method used
A system and method for controlling a network of devices by setting aggregated and individual power thresholds, using a primary device to monitor and manage power usage, and initiating power-saving events when thresholds are exceeded, with dynamic threshold adjustments based on transformer ratings and network changes.
Benefits of technology
Effectively prevents transformer overloading by dynamically managing power consumption, reducing the risk of overheating through intelligent load management and minimizing network traffic.

Abstract
A method for controlling a network of devices in a power distribution network to prevent power overload, the method being: Setting aggregate power thresholds based on the maximum ratings of transformers connected to devices in the network, For each device in the network, an individual power threshold is set based on the aggregate threshold and the number of devices in the network. In response to identifying that a first device in the network has power exceeding its individual power threshold, the system queries other devices in the network to determine the total power usage of the network. This includes controlling one or more devices in the network to reduce total power consumption when total power consumption exceeds an aggregated power threshold.
