System for Managing Electric-Power Demands in Real Time through AMI Gateway Sharing Public IP Network
First Claim
1. A system for managing electric-power demands in real time through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) gateway sharing public Internet Protocol (IP) network, comprising:
- at least one load management module for acquiring electric power information or signal information related to each load of a customer or operating in response to received control information, the load management module comprising a communication module which transmits or receives the electric power information or the control information in a wireless manner;
an AMI gateway for receiving the electric power information or the signal information transmitted in a wireless manner from the load management module, transferring the received information over a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, and transferring the control information received over the public IP network to the load management module; and
an AMI service server for managing and calculating the electric power information and the signal information of the load management module, which are received from the AMI gateway over the public IP network, generating the control information required to control the load management module, and transferring the control information to the AMI gateway,wherein status of the load management module is checked and a control command for the load management module is executed based on the electric power information and the signal information on a web page of the AMI service server accessed by a user terminal.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for managing electric power demands in real time through an AMI gate way sharing a public IP network. The system obtains information about the electric power load of parts of a house or the entire house and manages basic data demands such as on/off operation or storage of a load. The system enables the sharing of the public IP network for external communication with an external demand management DB through an in-house AMI gateway box. In addition, the system allows ZigBee wireless communication for internal communication with an in-house digital gauge. Therefore, the system is able to secure demand management resources.
