Abstract

Disclosed embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for managing data in an energy management system. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes: a control unit configured to process data collected from a power system and create a database; and a state transfer unit configured to receive state information of the database from the control unit and offer the received state information to a client.

Claims

1. An apparatus for managing data in an energy management system, comprising:

a control unit configured to process data collected from a power system and create a database; and

a state transfer unit configured to receive state information of the database from the control unit and provide the received state information to a client,

wherein the state transfer unit is further configured to determine whether or not an error is included in the database based on whether or not the data included in the database is within a normal range, and provide the determination to the client.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the state information of the database comprises at least one of:

database creation step information, database deletion step, or database presence/absence information.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the state transfer unit is further configured to provide the database state information to the client at a predetermined frequency.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the state transfer unit is further configured to provide the database state information to the client each time the state of the database has been changed.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the state transfer unit is further configured to provide the database state information to the client in response to a request from the client.
