I'd add to that including a more sophisticated power negotiation system. Say I've got an electric griddle and a microwave oven on the same circuit. To maintain the temperature I've set the griddle to requires an average of 750 watts. I'm cooking something on the griddle and I want to microwave something else in the microwave for 1 minute. The microwave draws 1000 watts.
1000 watts + 750 watts = 1750 watts, which is fine for 1 minute on a standard 125 V 15 outlet.
But that griddle averages 750 watts. It is actually cycling between 1500 watts and 0 watts. 1000 watts + 1500 watts = 2500 watts. That's way over the rating for the outlet.
The griddle and the microwave and the house's power controller should be able to coordinate so that when I try to use the microwave it happens when the griddle is in an off part of its cycle.
