Network system and method of controlling network system
First Claim
1. A network system comprising:
- an energy supply part comprising a plurality of power supply sources;
an energy metering part communicating with the plurality of power supply sources, the energy metering part measuring energy supplied from the plurality of power supply sources;
an energy management part receiving energy-related information supplied from the energy supply part;
an energy consumption part consuming power supplied from the energy supply part, the energy consumption part being operable and controllable by the energy management part;
a storage provided at the energy management part or the energy consumption part to store power consumption information for the energy consumption part,wherein the plurality of power supply sources comprises a main power supply source; and
a post-order power supply source having a lower order of priority than the main power supply source,wherein while a threshold for power consumption amount or charge during a set period is recognized, the energy management part or the energy consumption part is configured to;
sample a power consumption amount stored in the storage, anddetermine a predicted power consumption or charge during the set period, using the sampled power consumption amount,wherein when the threshold is equal to or greater than the determined predicted power consumption or the charge, the main power supply source is used without the post-order power supply source, andwherein when the threshold is less than the determined predicted power consumption or the charge, the main power supply source and the post-order power supply source are used.

Abstract
Provided are a network system and a method of controlling the same. The network system includes an energy supply part including a plurality of power supply sources, an energy metering part communicating with the plurality of power supply sources, the energy metering measuring energy supplied from the plurality of power supply sources, an energy management part receiving energy-related information supplied from the energy supply part, and an energy consumption part consuming power supplied from the energy supply part, the energy consumption part being operable and controllable by the energy management part. At least one power supply source of the plurality of power supply sources is selected according to an order of priority of a power supply, based on energy information related to the plurality of power supply sources. Thus, the power supply source having minimum costs is selected to efficiently manage energy within an intellectual power supply network.

11. A method of controlling a network system comprising a plurality of power supply sources, the method comprising:
-
recognizing an available power supply source of the plurality of power supply sources; receiving energy information of available power supply sources comprising a plurality of power supply sources; and selecting at least one power supply source according to an order of priority, based on the energy information, the method further comprising; recognizing a threshold for power consumption amount or charge during a set period; storing in a storage power consumption information for an energy consumption part; sampling a power consumption amount stored in the storage; and determine a predicted power consumption or charge during the set period, using the sampled power consumption amount, wherein the plurality of available power supply sources comprise a main power supply source; and
a post-order power supply source having a lower order of priority than the main power supply source,wherein when the threshold is equal to or greater than the determined predicted power consumption or the charge, the main power supply source is used without the post-order power supply source, and wherein when the threshold is less than the determined predicted power consumption or the charge, the main power supply source and the post-order power supply source are used. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
