Abstract

A system for monitoring electric energy amount according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes an electric energy system including one or more loads receiving electric energy through an external electric energy source and a renewable energy generator, a home server for receiving information of a first electric energy amount that is an electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads, a second electric energy amount that is supplied from the external electric energy source to the electric energy system, and a third electric energy amount that is supplied from the renewable energy generator to the electric energy system, and an electric energy amount monitoring server calculating the second electric energy amount or the third electric energy amount from electric energy consumption of the electric energy system, which is received from the home server, and supply electric energy amount information supplied to the electric energy system.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring electric energy amount, comprising:

an electric energy system including one or more loads receiving electric energy through an external electric energy source and a renewable energy generator;

a home server configured to receive information of a first electric energy amount that is an electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads, a second electric energy amount that is supplied from the external electric energy source to the electric energy system, and a third electric energy amount that is supplied from the renewable energy generator to the electric energy system; and

an electric energy amount monitoring server configured to calculate the second electric energy amount or the third electric energy amount from electric energy consumption of the electric energy system, which is received from the home server, and supply electric energy amount information supplied to the electric energy system,

wherein the electric energy amount monitoring server includes;

a first server configured to receive one of the electric energy consumption and the supply electric energy amount information from the server; and

a second server configured to receive the other of the electric energy consumption and the supply electric energy amount information from the server, which is not received by the first server, and calculate the second electric energy amount or the third electric energy amount by receiving electric energy amount information, which is received by the first server, therefrom.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the second server calculates the third electric energy amount by subtracting the second electric energy amount from the first electric energy amount.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the second server calculates the second electric energy amount by subtracting the third electric energy amount from the first electric energy amount.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first electric energy amount includes an overall electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads, and the second server calculates an electric energy amount consumed by each of the one or more loads based on the overall electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads.

5. A system for monitoring electric energy amount, comprising:

an electric energy system including one or more loads receiving electric energy through an external electric energy source and a renewable energy generator;

a home server configured to receive information of a first electric energy amount that is an electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads, a second electric energy amount that is supplied from the external electric energy source to the electric energy system, and a third electric energy amount that is supplied from the renewable energy generator to the electric energy system; and

an electric energy amount monitoring server configured to calculate an electric energy amount consumed by each of the one or more loads by receiving an overall electric energy amount consumed by the one or more loads.
