Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for managing local monitoring data. The apparatus for managing local monitoring data includes an identification unit configured to identify monitoring data as one of structured monitoring data and unstructured monitoring data using flag information of the monitoring data, a storage unit configured to store structured monitoring data in a relational database or unstructured monitoring data in an unstructured database on the basis of an identification result of the monitoring data, and a conversion unit configured to search structured monitoring data corresponding to a data conversion condition among the structured monitoring data to convert the searched structured monitoring data into unstructured monitoring data.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a local monitoring data management apparatus;

a communication network; and

one or more monitoring apparatuses that use the communication network to transmit and receive monitoring data with respect to electric power generation information of a photovoltaic power generation cloud system,

wherein the local monitoring data management apparatus;

identifies the monitoring data as one of structured monitoring data and unstructured monitoring data using flag information of the monitoring data, wherein the unstructured monitoring data is selected from the group consisting of a graph, an image, and audio information, wherein the structured monitoring data has a table structure or a tree structure in which a field is structured;

stores the monitoring data in a relational database on the basis of an identification result of the monitoring data, wherein the photovoltaic power generation cloud system communicates with the one or more local monitoring apparatuses to receive the monitoring data;

converts the structured monitoring data into unstructured monitoring data using a data conversion condition comprising a preset field value among the field value of the structured monitoring data or searches the structured monitoring data corresponding to a preset data format among the structured monitoring data and converts the structured monitoring data, which is combined with apparatus identification information of the one or more monitoring apparatuses the same as the apparatus identification information among the searched structured monitoring data, into the unstructured monitoring data, wherein the local monitoring data management apparatus uses the data conversion condition if the field value of the structured monitoring data is the same as the preset field value, wherein the field value includes regional information, monitoring time information, and monitoring date information, and wherein the local monitoring data management apparatus verifies the apparatus identification information that is combined with the structured monitoring data corresponding to the preset data format; and

performs a big data analysis from the unstructured monitoring data to produce estimated electric power generation information of the photovoltaic power generation cloud system located at different geographic regions on the basis of the graph and calculate an estimated price using the analyzed data.

2. The system of claim 1,

wherein the local monitoring data management apparatus collects the monitoring data from the one or more monitoring apparatuses.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the local monitoring data management apparatus collects the monitoring data by combining the apparatus identification information of the one or more monitoring apparatuses with the monitoring data.
