This non provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Korea Patent Application No. 10-2010-0049689 filed in Republic of Korea on May 27, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field
The present disclosure is directed to an electronic device having an energy saving function and a method of controlling the electronic device.
The implementation of this document will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings in which like numerals refer to like elements.
FIG. 1 is a view schematically illustrating a smart grid.
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a power management network of a home that is a main customer of a smart grid service.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to denote the same or substantially the same elements throughout the drawings and the specification.
FIG. 1 is a view schematically illustrating a smart grid. The smart grid includes a power plant, for example, such as a thermal power plant, a nuclear power plant, a hydroelectric power plant, a solar power plant, a wind power plant, etc.
The thermal power plant, the nuclear power plant, or the hydroelectric power plant supplies electricity to a power operation through power lines. The power operation carries electricity to a substation to distribute electricity to customers, such as homes or offices.
