Abstract
A transmission apparatus (101) includes an acquisition unit (121) for acquiring a power consumption of each of a plurality of power loads; a communication unit (125) for transmitting data associated with the power consumption to a server via a network; and a controller (127) for acquiring a congestion degree of the network, wherein the controller (127) determines a priority of the data based on the congestion degree and controls the communication unit (125) to transmit the data in priority order.
Claims10
A transmission apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to acquire data associated with a power consumption of each of a plurality of power loads;
- communication hardware configured to transmit data associated with the power consumption to a server via a network;
- and
- a controller configured to acquire a congestion degree of the network, wherein
- the controller determines a priority of the data based on the congestion degree and controls the communication hardware to transmit data in priority order, and the controller deals with a total power consumption as main data and gives the main data a highest priority, and wherein
- when the congestion degree is equal to or higher than a first congestion threshold, the controller, based on the power consumption, calculates a power consumption of each power distribution type of each distribution system in a power grid as sub-data, and gives the sub-data a second highest priority next to the main data.
A transmission method of a transmission apparatus for transmitting data to a server via a network, the transmission method comprising:
- acquiring a power consumption of each of a plurality of power loads;
- acquiring a congestion degree of the network;
- determining a priority of the data associated with the power consumption based on the congestion degree;
- transmitting data in priority order;
- assigning a highest priority to a total power consumption as a main data;
- calculating, based on the power consumption, a power consumption of each power distribution type of each distribution system in a power grid as sub-data when the congestion degree is equal to or higher than a first congestion threshold;
- and
- assigning a second highest priority next to the main data to the sub-data.
