Abstract

A router diverts electricity generated by a variable source such as from solar radiation using photo voltaic cells or wind force using a turbine to a load 8 such as an immersion heater only when sufficient solar power is available. A power monitor 6 measures the power from a supply or grid; compares it with the solar power and inhibits load 8 turning on until its demand can be met by the variable source. The immersion heater can also be turned on manually or by a time switch 9. Power can be monitored and compared using current transformers 4, 6 and whose output voltages and phase are added using resistors (fig 3, R1-R4) and used to trigger a triac (fig 3, S1) when of sufficient magnitude, to make power either fully or partially available to load 8.
