Electric power management
First Claim
1. A server, coupled to a smart grid, for managing and controlling an amount of electric power consumed by a customer, the server comprising:
- a communication circuit receiving information on the amount of electric power consumption from a meter through a communication network and to transmit a control signal to the meter through the communication network for controlling the amount of electric power consumed by the customer; and
a processor determining an electric power consumption pattern of the customer based on the information on the amount of electric power consumed, and calculating an amount of electric power supplied for a predetermined time period based on the determined electric power consumption pattern of the consumer, wherein the calculating the amount of electric power supplied includes;
determining an electric power supply level based on an overall electric power supply state, wherein the determining of the electric power consumption pattern of the customer includes calculating an average amount of electric power consumed at each unit time based on the information on the amount of electric power consumed included in the received information;
generating the electric power consumption pattern by combining the calculated average amount of electric power consumed;
selecting one of predetermined electric power supply coefficients mapped to the determined electric power supply level and multiplying the electric power consumption pattern of the customer with the selected electric power supply coefficient; and
transmitting a control signal to the meter through the communication circuit for controlling the electric power consumption of the customer based on the calculated electric power supplied.

Abstract
The disclosure is related to a method for controlling an electric power consumption amount of a consumer by a server coupled to a smart grid for managing electric power distribution. The method may include receiving signals having information on electric power consumption amounts from a meter of a consumer through a communication network, determining an electric power consumption pattern of the consumer based on the information on electric power consumption amounts, calculating electric power supply amounts for a predetermined time period based on the determined electric power consumption pattern of the consumer, and transmitting a control signal to the meter of the consumer through a communication network for controlling an electric power consumption amount of the consumer based on the calculated electric power supply amounts.
