SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING ENERGY APPARATUS USING ENERGY MODELING TECHNIQUE
First Claim
1. An energy management service system for managing the use of energy for each region, the system comprising:
- an energy collecting unit to collect energy usage information for an energy apparatus consuming energy in a region through a remote metering server;
a temperature/humidity collecting unit to collect temperature/humidity information including temperature and humidity of the region through a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor installed in the region;
a resident collecting unit to collect resident information including entry of at least one of residents residing in the region and a number of residents, through at least one sensor of a motion sensor and a magnetic sensor installed in the region;
an apparatus collecting unit to collect control state information of the energy apparatus through a home network device installed in the region to control the operation of the energy apparatus;
an environment collecting unit to collect external environment information including weather and seasonal variations from a web server through a link to the web server;
an energy modeling unit to model an energy usage trend of the region using the energy usage information, the temperature/humidity information, the resident information, the control state information, and the external environment information; and
an energy management unit to determine an energy usage control factor of the region based on the energy usage trend and to automatically control operation of the energy apparatus in the region based on the energy usage control factor.
