Abstract
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.
