Abstract

An apparatus for data processing in an energy management system is provided. The apparatus includes an operation and management unit collecting data obtained by measuring a target, storing a limit information table including at least one limit set determining whether to output an alarm for collected data, and outputting the alarm for the collected data based on the limit information table; and a history management unit storing history information on the operation and management unit.

Claims

1. A data processing apparatus comprising:

an operation and management unit configured to;

set at least one condition for alarm processing, the at least one condition comprising at least one limit that is set according to types of data and that includes a value different from each of the other at least one limit,

obtain data by measuring a target; and

output the alarm if any of the obtained data matches the at least one condition; and

a storage unit configured to store history information related to the operation and management unit.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation and management unit comprises a real-time management unit configured to:

obtain the data;

determine whether the limit is changed;

determine if any of the obtained data matches the at least one limit; and

output the alarm corresponding to the obtained data determined to match the at least one limit.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the operation and management unit further comprises a file storage unit configured to store information related to the at least one limit.

4. The data processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the real-time management unit is further configured to store a plurality of limits in the file storage unit.

5. The data processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the real-time management unit is further configured to store the at least one condition in the file storage unit as at least one table that includes the at least one limit.

6. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the at least one table comprises identifier information related to each the at least one limit.

7. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein each of the at least one limit has a range with an upper and lower value.

8. The data processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the operation and management unit is further configured to output the alarm when any of the obtained data has a value outside the range.

9. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein each of the at least one limit comprises a corresponding type of alarm.

10. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein each of the at least one limit comprises an initial setting.

11. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the operation and management unit is further configured to store update information related to one or more of the at least one limit in the at least one table.

12. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation and management unit is further configured to:

check for changed limit information according to an update period for each of the at least one limit; and

output the alarm when it is determined that there is changed limit information.

13. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation and management unit is further configured to:

check for changed limit information according to an update period for each of the at least one limit; and

reads a condition set for a limit for which the corresponding limit information is changed.
