It relates to an intelligent power control system and control method.

In general, as the industry develops, the number of buildings is increasing, and each building consumes a large amount of energy (electric power) for air conditioning and operation of facilities. Electricity consumed in buildings accounts for about 22.3% of the country's energy consumption and is increasing year by year, which is a problem related to the national industry and economy.

In addition, since the energy consumption of the building is directly connected to the financial expenditure from the viewpoint of the building owner, the tenant, and the user, the energy consumption of the inefficient building has a significant financial burden. To solve these problems, it is necessary to efficiently and systematically manage the use of energy consumed in buildings.

Conventionally, a large number of fan coil units are generally installed in a large building to efficiently control heating and cooling, and such conventional fan coil units are controlled by zone, that is, by floor or section, or individually. A temperature controller was attached to the fan coil unit to control the operation of the fan coil unit according to the temperature of the space where each fan coil unit was installed.

However, this conventional method operates in accordance with the temperature regardless of whether there is a person or not when there are multiple spaces (offices, conference rooms, lecture rooms, general rooms, etc.) in the building in a temperature controlled manner. There is a problem that the fan coil unit is operated even in a space without people, which wastes energy.

On the other hand, Reference Document 1 discloses an adapter-type simple power amount measuring device for measuring the power consumption of the TV, computer, lighting equipment or air-conditioning equipment used in the house, and displays the cost according to the power consumption.

However, since the adapter type simple power measuring device of Citation 1 displays the power consumption in the building individually, there is a problem that it is difficult to monitor them individually.

As a result, there is an increasing need for an integrated control system capable of integrating and monitoring power consumption of power devices and at the same time intelligently controlling the power of power devices.
