Abstract
A power managing method includes receiving a scan command for a load apparatus connected to a multi-tap type energy measuring apparatus. Further, the power managing method includes determining a power consumption pattern of the load apparatus for a predetermined time based on a signal corresponding to the scan command from the user terminal. Further, the power managing method includes receiving information of the load apparatus. Further, the power managing method includes registering the load apparatus based on the determined power consumption pattern and the information of the load apparatus received from the user terminal.
Claims11
A system for power management, the system comprising:
- a multi-tap type energy measuring apparatus including:
- a plurality of outlets;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- measure energy usage information of a plurality of load apparatuses connected to the circuitry through the plurality of outlets, the energy usage information including a power signal having an active power and a reactive power of the plurality of load apparatuses;
- extract snapshots from sampling of the power signal;
- and
- extract a reference point and an operating status including an “ON” status or an “OFF” status determined by the reference point and the snapshots;
- a power managing application program executing in a user terminal associated with a user wherein the power managing application program provides an input screen in a display of the user terminal in which the user inputs a scan command for an individual load apparatus and device information of the individual load apparatus;
- and
- a power managing server performing a scan operation to determine a power consumption pattern of the individual load apparatus of the plurality of load apparatuses for a predetermined time based on the snapshots extracted from sampling of the power signal measured by the multi-tap type energy measuring apparatus for the predetermined time in response to receiving said scan command sent by the user terminal, and registering at least one load apparatus based on said determined power consumption pattern and the input device information of said at least one load apparatus.
A power managing method for a plurality of load apparatuses connected to a multi-tap type energy measuring apparatus through a plurality of outlets, the method comprising:
- measuring energy usage information of a plurality of load apparatuses, the energy usage information including a power signal having an active power and a reactive power of the plurality of load apparatuses, wherein the measuring of the energy usage information includes extracting snapshots from sampling of the power signal, and wherein the measuring of the energy usage information further includes extracting a reference point and an operating status including an “ON” status or an “OFF” status determined by the reference point and the snapshots;
- receiving, by a user terminal associated with a user, a scan command for an individual load apparatus of the plurality of load apparatuses and a device information of the individual load apparatus of the plurality of load apparatuses;
- performing a scan operation, by a power managing server, to determine a power consumption pattern of said individual load apparatus of the plurality of load apparatuses for a predetermined time based on the snapshots extracted from sampling of the power signal measured by the multi-tap energy measuring apparatus for a predetermined time in response to a signal corresponding to said scan command from said user terminal;
- receiving, by said user terminal, the device information of said load apparatus;
- and
- registering, by said power managing server, said individual load apparatus based on said determined power consumption pattern and said device information of said individual load apparatus received from said user terminal.
A system for power management, the system comprising:
- a multi-tap type energy measuring apparatus, connected to at least one load apparatus, configured to measure energy usage information of said at least one load apparatus wherein the energy usage information includes a power signal, extract snapshots from sampling of the power signal, and extract a reference point and an operating status including an “ON” status or an “OFF” status determined by the reference point and the snapshots;
- a user terminal associated with a user and configured to receive a scan command and information of said at least one load apparatus;
- and
- a power managing server configured to determine a power consumption pattern of said at least one load apparatus for a predetermined time in response to receiving said scan command, to register said at least one load apparatus based on said determined power consumption pattern and said information of said at least one load apparatus, and to grant a predetermined compensation to the user for said registration of said at least one load apparatus.
