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.
