Embodiment
According to the present invention, the technology that relates generally to energy management is provided.More particularly; The present invention provides a kind of method and system; Said method and system is used in building structure, using at least power line and other networking technology between boiler at least and conditioner, to communicate by letter, but will be appreciated that the present invention has range of application more widely.In addition, other networking technology comprises local area network (LAN) (such as Ethernet) technology, short range and long distance wireless technology and other technical combinations.
Since bulk of worldwide electricity relax control rise with the prevailing price since, government regulator makes the approach that consumes with the generating coupling in searching always.The tradition ammeter is only measured wastage in bulk or weight, and the few information that when consumes or how to consume about energy likewise only is provided.Intelligence table provides the method for measuring energy consumption in each time interval, thus allow price mechanism based on the same day constantly with introduce different consumption prices season.
Electricity price usually some predictable same day constantly and reach peak value season.Specifically, if generating is restricted, then price possibly significantly rise in these times, and this is because bought more expensive electric power source from other compass of competency, has perhaps introduced the cost greater power generation.According to thinking, charging to client according to concrete time on consumption and the same day will force the consumer to adjust its consumption habit to respond more the market price.Supervision and market design organization hope that these " price signals " can delay the construction of extra generating or delay at least to buy energy from the source of higher price, thereby control the stable of power price and increase fast.
The cost that uses along with the family energy rise and from electric power enterprise service time (TOU) bill be about to release; Need know the service time and the consumption of various household electrical appliance institute consumption of electric power; Use so that can eliminate the poor efficiency of electric power, and can forward electricity usage to peak absences.The intelligence table of limited use nowadays provides some solutions to these problems.Even if but new intelligence table also only provides the wastage in bulk or weight based on the same day moment and season.This type of intelligence table does not provide and allows the user accurately to find out the detailed energy use information that which equipment family or office in or electrical equipment have consumed maximum electric power.This has hindered the user to know about closing which equipment or electrical equipment in the higher peak period of price.
When solving the problem of these energy consumption measurements and control, EMS (EMS) provides the catabiotic real-time measurement of various electric load in the distribution system.Measure through these, the user can accurately find out the source that energy uses, and comes the electric load in the Long-distance Control distribution system through opening or closing electrical equipment.Majority EMS system is used for industry and Commercial Load by customization, such as heating and ventilation in hotel or the factory and air conditioning (HVAC).
In addition, under the situation that software possibly lock, the network equipment is in a period of time often out of service traditionally, thereby need be through opening or closing device or equipment extracted or insert carry out some physics and reset.Because this has made problem to the service supplier, so appropriate solution need be provided.
In addition, really not so though home automation is quite appreciated when electric power is enough in electricity shortage or outage, especially for the home automation that is connected to critical function such as safety system.Therefore, also appropriate solution need be provided.Through this method and system, these and other limitation of traditional energy monitoring technology have been overcome according to one or more embodiment.
