Electrical appliance energy consumption control methods and electrical
energy consumption systems are described. In one aspect, an electrical appliance
energy consumption control method includes providing an electrical appliance coupled
with a power distribution system, receiving electrical energy within the appliance
from the power distribution system, consuming the received electrical energy using
a plurality of loads of the appliance, monitoring electrical energy of the power
distribution system, and adjusting an amount of consumption of the received electrical
energy via one of the loads of the appliance from an initial level of consumption
to an other level of consumption different than the initial level of consumption
responsive to the monitoring.
