Abstract

In some embodiments, an electric energy information provision method includes measuring electric energy, analyzing the measured electric energy to generate electric energy information, and displaying the generated electric energy information in response to a request of a user. The electric energy information may include a variation status, a standard deviation analysis result, a dispersion deviation analysis result, trend line information, past accumulative electric energy variation information, anticipated future accumulative electric energy variation information, an electric energy usage status diagnosis, and electric energy reduction plan information.

Claims

1. An electric energy information provision system comprising:

a server configured to perform a user authentication process;

an indoor usage load;

an electricity meter installed in the indoor usage load to measure an electric energy, and

an electric energy analysis device configured to analyze the measured electric energy to generate electric energy information and provide the electric energy information to a user in response to a request,

wherein the electric energy analysis device is configured to transmit the electric energy information to terminals, an electricity unit price per time slot information preset in the server is changed to a new setting using the terminals when the user authentication process is successfully completed, and the electric energy analysis device generates a trend line regarding an anticipated future electric energy usage pattern based on the measured electric energy,

wherein the electric energy analysis device is further configured to generate a message of requesting the user to reduce consumption of electric energy during a peak time when electric energy is used more at the peak time as compared to other times,

wherein the electric energy information includes a variation status, a standard deviation analysis result, a dispersion deviation analysis result, trend line information, past accumulative electric energy variation information, anticipated future accumulative electric energy variation information, an electric energy usage status diagnosis, and electric energy reduction plan information, and

wherein the electricity meter and the electric energy analysis device are provided inside the same building, and the electricity meter and the electric energy analysis device are connected to each other through a network cable.

2. The electric energy information provision system of claim 1, wherein the indoor usage load is an electronic home appliance.

3. The electric energy information provision system of claim 1, wherein the electric energy analysis device is further configured to analyze an electric power usage pattern of the user based on the measured electric energy.

4. The electric energy information provision system of claim 1, further comprising:

an indoor renewable energy source configured to generate indoor renewable energy; and

an energy storage device configured to store the generated indoor renewable energy.

5. The electric energy information provision system of claim 1, wherein the electric energy analysis device includes a display unit and is further configured to display the analyzed information through the display unit.
