METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING ENERGY REVENUES OF ELECTRIC POWER DEVICES BASED ON REAL TIME PRICING
First Claim
1. An apparatus for calculating energy revenues, the apparatus comprising:
- a time synchronizing unit to synchronize time between the apparatus for calculating energy revenues and at least one of a real time energy pricing information providing server and an authorized time information providing server, based on time information received from the at least one of the real time energy pricing information providing server and the authorized time information providing server;
a real time energy pricing information synchronizing unit to synchronize an energy sale price stored in the apparatus for calculating energy revenues with an energy sale price that changes in real time, based on energy sale price information received from the real time energy pricing information providing server;
an energy inflow and outflow measuring unit to measure an amount of energy that flows into and out of the electric power devices; and
a real time energy revenue calculating unit to calculate energy revenues for a predetermined time period, based on the received energy sale price information and information about the amount of energy measured.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for calculating energy revenues of electric power devices based on real time pricing is provided. The energy revenue calculating apparatus may synchronize time between the energy revenue calculating apparatus and at least one of a real time energy pricing information providing server and a time information providing server, based on time information received from at least one of the real time energy pricing information providing server and the time information providing server, synchronize an energy sale price stored in the energy revenue calculating apparatus with an energy sale price, based on energy sale price information received from the real time energy pricing information providing server, and calculate energy revenues for a predetermined time period, based on the received energy sale price information and information about an amount of energy that flows into and out of the plurality of electric power devices.
