The present invention relates to a server, a communicating device and a system having a function of managing a power demand, which can request saving power usage to a subscriber and compensate the resulting power consumption reduction and a method of managing power usage thereof. The system of managing power usage includes: a server selecting a subscriber that intends to request power usage reduction by using subscriber information with receiving a request signal for the power usage reduction and transmitting guidance information for the power usage reduction to a communicating device of the selected subscriber; and a communicating device executing a power related application when receiving the guidance information from the server and outputting the guidance information as the execution result. Further, the server grants, when power consumption by the load apparatus of the selected subscriber decreases according to the guidance information, a predetermined compensation to the corresponding subscriber.

Server, communicating device and system having function of managing power demand and method of managing power usage thereof

Accordingly the embodiments herein provides a method for load balancing in an energy measurement information system. The method includes collecting, by a power information collecting unit, power information at a snapshot extraction frequency. The snapshot extraction frequency is within a range. Further, the method includes detecting, by an operating status extracting unit, an operating status of at least one load apparatus at the snapshot extraction frequency. The operating status is one of a steady state and a transient state. Furthermore, the method includes generating, by a data set generating unit, a data set including only one or a representative snapshot of the power information, when the normal status is detected; and a data set including a plurality of snapshots of the power information, when the transient state is detected.

Apparatus, server, system and method for energy measuring

A power demand management system includes a plurality of power-prepaid appliances and a power demand management server. Each of the power-prepaid appliances includes an authenticator configured to manage an authentication key, a control setting unit configured to receive a power consumption control signal containing a power reduction amount from the power demand management server and to set control information according to the power reduction amount, and an operation control signal generator configured to generate an operation control signal based on the control information selected by the control setting unit. The power demand management server includes a demand resource allocator configured to allocate the power reduction amount to each power-prepaid appliance, a security unit configured to encrypt the power consumption control signal based on the authentication key of each power-prepaid appliance, and a reduction manager configured to monitor a reduction in power consumption depending on the power consumption control signal.

Server and home appliance having power demand management function and method of managing power usage thereof

A method and apparatus for detecting an abnormal event related to a person at home are provided. The method includes measuring home electricity use data in each first predetermined time interval, determining whether an abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred based on the home electricity use data, generating a notification message including the abnormal event related to the person at home when it is determined that the abnormal event related to the person at home has occurred, and transmitting the notification message to a predetermined user device.

Method and apparatus for detecting abnormal event related to person at home

Embodiments herein provide a method for correcting power usage measurements at an apparatus. The method includes receiving, by the apparatus, a first power usage measurement from a utility meter measured at a first time unit and a second power usage measurement from a submeter measured at a set of second time units, wherein the set of second time units is dynamically defined with respect to the first time unit. Further, the method includes determining, by the apparatus, a time difference error based on the first time unit and each of the second time unit. Further, the method includes correcting, by the apparatus, the second power usage measurement based on the time difference error.

Apparatus and method for correcting power usage measurements

Disclosed are a method and a system for guiding use of an electronic device. The method of guiding use of an electronic device includes: separating a first power used amount for a first electronic device having a first correlation coefficient between a predetermined factor and a power used amount thereof, and a second power used amount for a second electronic device having a second correlation coefficient between the predetermined factor and a power used amount thereof, the second correlation coefficient being smaller than the first correlation coefficient, from power used amount information; calculating a first predicted power used amount for the first electronic device from a first time point to a second time point by using a prediction value of the predetermined factor from the first time point to the second time point; calculating a second predicted power used amount for the second electronic device from the first time point to the second time point; and providing guide information including a use time or an amount used for the first electronic device from the first time point to the second time point in consideration of a target amount of power used from the first time point to the second time point and the first and second predicted power used amounts.
