Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a system and a method for charging a gas rate,

The present invention relates to a system and method for imposing gas bills by correction of pressure, and more particularly, to a system and method for imposing a gas bombardment rate by calibrating the temperature and atmospheric pressure of a gas supplied to a premises of a building, To a system and method for charging gas rates.

The supply system of gas (for example, city gas) is based on a certain weight, but when it is supplied to an ordinary customer, it is in a gaseous state, so that the weight of the gas can not be measured by a simple metering device. The gas supplier uses a volumetric gas meter to supply the customer with constant temperature and atmospheric pressure, and to measure the volume. In particular, the gas meter, which is a kind of capacity type, occupies most part in the household gas meter.

On the other hand, the gas supplier shall impose a gas charge based on the standard usage of the gas supplied to each user according to the volume or weight measured at 0 ° C and 1 atmosphere under standard conditions. However, the actual gas charge is calculated according to the measurement value of the gas meter installed outside each user's house. At this time, the density of the gas due to the influence of the temperature and the atmospheric pressure changes around the gas meter, Depending on the season or day and night, we will display a different measurement than the standard usage.

Therefore, by such a change in environmental factors, for example, in an environment where the temperature is higher than 0 ° C and the atmospheric pressure is lower than 1 atm, the measured value displayed on the gas meter will be measured higher than the measured value in the standard condition. However, the gas supplier will assume a gas charge assuming that the measured value of the gas meter is a value measured under standard conditions, which indicates that the user has determined that the result indicated as using a greater amount of gas than the actual gas supply of the supplier Resulting in the user having to pay more gas charges than the actual charge will be charged.

In view of such environmental factors, the present invention is a technology capable of correcting the current measured gas usage amount to the standard usage amount under the standard conditions and imposing the correct gas charge, and is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-553579 (name: (Hereinafter referred to as a conventional meter reading apparatus).

In this conventional technique, a meter reading unit, a temperature sensing unit, a metering correction unit, and a communication unit are added to a capacitive city gas meter of a mechanical film drive system, A calibration coefficient corresponding to the magnitude of the error between the reference temperature applied when supplying the city gas to each customer is applied so as to minimize the error between the city gas weight supplied by the city gas supplier and the gas consumption amount of each customer, Lt; / RTI >

However, in practice, the remote meter reading apparatus disclosed in the prior art is expensive to purchase and apply in each customer, and installation cost is small. Therefore, in practice, the field of the remote meter reading apparatus disclosed in the prior art is extremely rare.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a profitable model in which the customer is able to obtain economical benefits as a result of paying gas pressure corrected gas rate by installing the remote meter reading device with expensive pressure correction function for each customer at low cost.

The present invention solves the problem that the user pays a gas fee more than the actual usage amount according to the environmental factors as described above, and corrects the gas amount used by the user to the standard usage amount under the standard condition provided by the gas supplier , And to provide a gas charging system and method in which a standard charge may be charged.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a charging system and method for allowing a user to pay a standard charge by applying a pressure correction function at a low cost to ultimately obtain an economic gain.

In this case, the pressure compensator may further include a power unit for generating an operation power by receiving the commercial AC power, or generating the operation power by using the battery when the AC power is interrupted by generating a built-in battery.

In addition, the on-pressure corrector reports at least one of the measured temperature, the measured atmospheric pressure, the calculated standard usage amount, and the charged state of the battery and the identification information of the on-board pressure compensator to the provider server according to a predetermined cycle .

Further, the provider server may calculate the reduced difference by multiplying the difference between the base rate and the standard rate by a predetermined multiple (in this case, 0 < = 1 &lt; = 1), and charge the reduced side have.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a gas charging method using pressure correction, comprising the steps of: measuring a volume of gas supplied from a gas supplier to a gas user, Installing a gas meter in the gas pipeline to display a cumulative basic usage value in a manner that increases the value each time it is reached; The temperature and the atmospheric pressure of the gas flowing into the user through the gas pipeline are measured, the time when the cumulative basic usage amount value is increased in the gas meter is detected, and the value is increased simultaneously with the gas meter at the time point Wherein the control unit maintains the same accumulated basic usage amount value as that of the gas meter and calculates a basic usage amount using an increment of the accumulated basic usage amount value every predetermined time period and calculates a basic usage amount based on the temperature and the atmospheric pressure measured in the time period Installing a pressure compensator in the gas pipeline to correct the usage to a standard usage based on a standard volume and a standard volume under standard atmospheric pressure; A server managed by a provider that provides the on-pressure corrector, wherein the business server connected to the on-circuit pressure compensator via a wired / wireless communication network receives the basic usage amount and the standard usage amount from the on- Calculating a standard fee based on the standard usage amount, calculating a difference between the calculated basic fee and the calculated standard fee, and imposing the difference on the user side; And a server that is managed by the gas supplier side, wherein a supplier server connected to the on-pressure compensator or the provider server through an arbitrary communication network receives the standard usage amount from the pressure compensator or the provider server, Calculating the standard fee, and imposing the calculated standard fee on the user side.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a gas charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a flow chart for explaining a gas charge imposing method by the gas charge imposing system by the pressure correction.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an additional function provided by the gas charging system by the pressure correction.

First, with reference to FIG. 1, a configuration of a gas charging system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Referring to the drawings, a gas charging system based on pressure correction according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a gas pipe P connected from a gas supplier to a user side (for example, a building of a large building or a house of a home) A gas meter 100, a pressure compensator 200, a supplier server 300, and a business server 400.

The gas meter 100 includes a usage amount measuring unit 110 installed in the gas pipe P for measuring the volume of gas flowing into the user. At this time, the usage measuring unit 110 generates an electromagnetic signal or a mechanical drive whenever it detects that a certain volume of gas flows through various methods. This means generation of electric pulses, changes in magnetic field, rotation of gears, reciprocating motion of links, and the like.

The driving generated by the usage measuring unit 110 causes an operation such as a dial or a motor, thereby generating a numerical value which increases in an arbitrary unit, and this numerical value is visually displayed on the usage amount display unit 120. The displayed value is the cumulative value of the volume of gas used by the user, which is the cumulative basic usage value.

That is, the gas meter 100 may be a general thin-film or capacitive gas meter installed outside a house or a building. The gas meter 100 measures the volume of the gas flowing into the body through the gas pipe P in accordance with a specific measuring method, for example, a diaphragm method, and measures the volume of the measured gas to a predetermined volume, For example, an electric pulse signal is generated, and the accumulated basic usage amount value is increased by 1 according to the generated signal, and this numerical value can be displayed in a digital indicator by a light emission or a light shielding method, It can be displayed by the rotation of the displayed dial.

The pressure compensator 200 may include a temperature measuring unit 210, a pressure measuring unit 220, a usage holding unit 230, a correcting unit 240, and a communication unit 260.

The temperature measuring unit 210 measures the temperature of the gas flowing in the gas piping P. Alternatively, the temperature of the atmosphere surrounding the gas piping P may be measured.

The pressure measuring unit 220 measures the atmospheric pressure around the gas piping.

The usage holding unit 230 may include a sensor (not shown) for sensing an electromagnetic signal or a mechanical drive generated in the gas meter 100. This sensor can be attached or embedded on one side of the gas meter. The usage holding part increases its own value according to the detection of the sensor. The numerical value increased while the usage amount holding unit 230 is maintained can be maintained to be the same as the cumulative basic amount value of the gas meter 100. This can be implemented by adjusting the initial value to be equal to the current cumulative basic usage value of the gas meter 100 when the pressure compensator 200 is initially installed in the gas pipeline P. [

On the other hand, the corrector 240 receives the cumulative basic usage amount value from the usage amount maintenance unit 230. [ Then, the correcting unit 240 calculates an increase amount of the accumulated basic usage amount value inputted every predetermined period of time, for example, 5 seconds or 10 seconds. (The calculated increase amount is referred to as the basic usage amount.) The correcting unit 240 receives the temperature value measured by the temperature measuring unit 210 and the atmospheric pressure value measured by the pressure measuring unit every time period. Then, based on the measured temperature and atmospheric pressure, the previously calculated basic usage amount is corrected to a standard usage amount based on the standard volume and the standard volume under standard atmospheric pressure.

The calibrated standard usage can be cumulatively maintained as a cumulative standard usage value.

Generally, a gas supplier defines 0 ° C and 1 atmospheres as standard conditions, measures the weight of the gas supply based on these standard conditions, and establishes a corresponding charge. At this time, since it is difficult to measure the weight of the gas which is the fluid flowing into the gas pipe, the method of measuring the volume of the gas passing through the gas pipe and converting it into weight is applied.

However, as the gas supplied from the gas supplier flows through the gas piping P connected to each user side, the volume changes corresponding to the ambient temperature (more specifically, the temperature of the gas piping) and the atmospheric pressure.

In order to correct this, the correcting unit 240 corrects the measured value of the gas consumption (which will be a numerical value corresponding to the volume measured in a state in which the current ambient temperature condition and the pressure condition are not taken into account) measured by the gas meter 100 (Or weight) under standard conditions by applying pressure weights according to the temperature weight and the atmospheric pressure measured according to the gas temperature.

The display unit 250 can visually display the cumulative basic usage amount value held by the usage amount holding unit 230, the standard usage amount corrected by the correction unit 240, or the basic usage amount or cumulative standard usage amount value in various formats. This is for the meter reader to identify.

The communication unit 260 transmits the identification information designated for the on-pressure corrector 200 and the information generated by the on-pressure corrector 200 to the remote site, that is, the provider server 400 and / or the supplier server 300. The transmission may be carried out through a dedicated communication network and connected to a common wired or wireless communication network, for example, the Internet, and may be performed through a specific protocol.

The communication unit 260 may transmit the information at an arbitrary period. The period can be set to a specific time, for example, every month or every day, but since it is possible to perform remote meter reading through a communication network, information is transmitted almost in real time every hour or every 10 minutes or every 10 seconds .

The supplier server 300 is a server that is maintained by the gas supplier and stores the accumulated basic usage amount value and / or the cumulative standard usage amount value (or the basic usage amount and / Or standard usage amount). In addition, the supplier server 300 calculates the standard usage amount during the time period, using the transferred standard usage amount (the amount of increase of the cumulative standard usage amount value transmitted every predetermined time period unit (for example, one month) (I.e., the first standard fee refers to the standard fee calculated by the supplier server) based on the first standard fee, and the calculated first standard fee to the corresponding gas user . In this way, the supplier server is configured to charge the first standard fee to the user based on the standard pressure-calibrated standard usage amount.

At this time, the supplier server 300 calculates a fee using a predetermined unit price per unit of the gas usage volume. The calculated fee (i.e., the standard fee) may be obtained by posting on the homepage provided by the gas supplier, The billing information may be notified through issuance of an electronic bill for the telephone or the like.

In addition, the supplier server 300 dispatches the metering probe to the gas meter every predetermined period, and displays the accumulated basic usage amount value displayed on the usage indicator 250 of the gas meter 100 by the operation of the metering probe, A cumulative standard usage amount value displayed on the display unit 250 may be input, and a fee may be calculated based on the increase / decrease of the usage amount values.

That is, the meter reading source reads the accumulated basic usage amount value based on the gas usage amount measured by the gas meter 100 every predetermined period, for example, every month, and accesses the provider server through the portable communication device The read numerical value can be transmitted. At this time, the meter reading source may read the cumulative standard quantity value through the display unit 250 of the pressure compensator 200 disposed adjacent to the gas meter 100, and may transmit the read value to the supplier server at the same time as the cumulative basic quantity value .

The provider server 400 is a server maintained and managed by a provider who has provided the user with the on-pressure compensator 200. The server 400 includes a pressure compensator 200 installed in the gas pipe P and interacting with the gas meter 100, Usage figures and cumulative standard usage figures (or basic usage and standard usage amounts) are transmitted and maintained. At this time, the provider server 400 identifies which pressure compensator is installed in which gas pipe of the user, using the identification information transmitted from the pressure compensator 200, and calculates the gas charge for the user.

That is, the provider server 400 calculates the base rate, which is a rate that would have been calculated based on the basic usage amount, if no correction is made using the cumulative basic usage amount value transmitted from the on-pressure corrector 200. [ Further, the standard rate (second standard rate), which is a rate to be actually charged from the gas supplier as the rate calculated based on the accurate actual usage amount by the pressure correction using the transmitted cumulative standard usage value, Quot; standard rate &quot;).

At this time, the method of calculating the base rate and the second standard rate uses the same unit price and method as the gas rate calculation method used in the supplier server 300.

In addition, the provider server 400 calculates a difference between the calculated basic fee and the calculated second standard fee. The gas provided by the gas supplier is discharged through the gas piping at a standard condition of 0 ° C and 1 atmosphere, but the gas actually reaching the user through the gas piping will be measured in a condition different from the standard conditions. For example, in the case of the summer season, it is often the case that the temperature is 20 ° C or more and the air pressure is less than 1 atm. Under these conditions, the volume of gas flowing through the gas line becomes expanded compared to the standard condition, and the gas meter will measure more usage than the gas supply at standard conditions (i.e., the gas volume provided by the supplier). Therefore, the base rate based on the basic usage amount that has not been subjected to the pressure correction will be more than the standard rate (the first standard rate or the second standard rate) corrected for the pressure.

For example, referring to [Table 1] below, it can be predicted how much the volume of the gas flowing through the gas pipe will expand to a certain extent only by the temperature rise, thereby estimating how much the gas charge is over- You can try it.

Gas temperature (캜) Volume expansion formula Volume expansion 0 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 0 ° C 0% 15 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 15 ° C. 5.55% 20 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 20 ° C. 7.40% 25 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 25 ° C. 9.25% 30 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 30 ° C. 11.10% 35 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 35 ° C. 12.95% 40 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 40 ° C. 14.80% 45 Volume × 0.37% × temperature 45 ° C. 16.68%

The volume expansion equation in the above table is a simple method using the Boyle-Charles rule.

On the other hand, the provider server charges the calculated difference to the user. At this time, it is preferable to calculate the reduced difference by multiplying the difference by an arbitrary multiple (here, 0 < = multiple &lt; = 1), and to impose the reduced difference on the user.

The operator operating the provider server 400 installs the expensive pressure compensator 200 in parallel with the user's gas meter 100 so that the standard usage amount can be measured in real time so that the gas user can use the standard price So that less gas charges are imposed than if no pressure compensator had been applied. Then, this company can recover at least a part of the difference in the gas charge which is imposed on the user side and make it a profit model.

On the other hand, the operator may calculate the difference (or the difference calculated by multiplying the calculated difference by a predetermined multiple (here, 0 < = multiple &lt; = 1) and to deduct the calculated difference from the calculated difference , Information on billing can be informed to a gas user by posting it on a homepage provided by a service provider or by issuing an electronic bill to a gas user's computer or a mobile phone.

According to the gas charge imposing system according to the present invention having such a configuration, the gas consumption amount supplied and consumed on the user side can be corrected to the standard usage amount under the standard temperature and standard pressure (for example, atmospheric pressure) , It is possible to solve the unfairness of paying the excess amount of the gas amount exceeding the actual supply amount due to the error of the gas meter according to the environmental condition.

Further, in the present invention, even if an expensive pressure compensator is not purchased and installed by the user, the pressure compensator provider provides the pressure compensator free of charge, and the operator can set the basic pressure rate It is possible to charge at least a part of the difference between the standard charge paid according to the standard usage amount corrected by the pressure compensator.

This can be a profit model in which both the gas user and the pressure compensator operator can obtain the benefit at the same time.

On the other hand, in general, the period in which the gas meter is inspected, or the period in which the gas rate is calculated and paid by the supplier server, may not be accurately monitored for one month. For example, a meter may be counted on the 20th of a month to calculate and charge the charge, and the meter may be charged on the 30th day of the next month. However, because the current gas billing policy does not apply to progressive gas taxes, there is no difference in the charge for the whole period even if the meter reading period changes.

That is, in the present invention, since the basic usage amount and the standard usage amount are transmitted from the on-pressure compensator to the provider server frequently in a short period, for example, every 10 minutes, , Instant billing can be done.

This means that the time when the gas supplier actually imposes the gas charge may be different from the time when the charge provider imposes the difference.

However, as described above, since there is no progressive tax system in the gas rate, there is no profit or loss of the gas users due to the difference between the billing period at the supplier server and the billing period at the provider server.

Furthermore, since the cumulative basic usage amount and the cumulative standard usage amount are transmitted to the provider server in a short period of 10 minutes or so in the pressure compensator, the provider operating the provider server can provide the additional service to the user. For example, it is possible to calculate the standard usage amount in real time, manage the fluctuation of the calculated standard usage amount, and identify the sudden increase or decrease of the gas consumption amount on the user side. In this case, . Alternatively, by comparing the usage trend with other nearby users, guidance may be provided on the saving of the gas consumption amount.

Next, FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method of imposing a gas charge by the pressure correction according to the present invention.

First, the gas supplier installs a gas meter on the gas piping of the user side. The gas meter measures the amount of gas flowing through the gas piping, and increases the numerical value every time the unit volume is detected. (S10).

The pressure compensator operator installs a pressure compensator around the gas meter installed on the user's side. At this time, a sensor that detects a situation where the basic usage amount increases in the gas meter may be installed on one side of the gas meter. The pressure compensator uses this sensor to sense the point at which the accumulated basic usage value increases at the gas meter and maintains the same cumulative basic usage value as the gas meter . The basic usage amount is calculated using the increase amount of the accumulated basic usage amount value held every predetermined time period, and the basic usage amount is calculated based on the standard temperature and the standard volume based on the standard atmospheric pressure based on the temperature and the atmospheric pressure measured in the time period The amount of use is corrected (S20). The calibrated standard usage is continuously accumulated and maintained as a cumulative standard usage value.

Cumulative standard usage figures are sent to the carrier server. The pressure compensator can further transmit identification information for identifying itself and information for indicating the state of charge of the battery built in itself.

The business server maintained by the pressure compensator business operator calculates the basic usage amount and the standard usage amount based on the information transmitted from the on-pressure compensator, calculates the basic charge based on the basic usage amount, 2 standard charge) is calculated (S40).

The supplier server on the gas supplier side maintains the accumulated basic usage amount and cumulative standard usage amount, and calculates the standard fee (first standard fee) based on the calculated standard usage amount based on the cumulative standard usage amount (S40 ). The calculated standard fee is charged to the user.

In addition, the provider server may calculate the difference between the calculated standard fee (second standard fee) and the basic fee, and charge all or at least a part of the calculated difference amount to the user (S50).

Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an additional function provided by the gas charge imposing system according to the present invention. The additional function described herein is to provide diagnostic information on gas usage on the user side using the basic usage amount and / or the standard usage amount frequently provided in the warm-up corrector in real time.

First, a basic server usage amount, a standard usage amount, a measured temperature and a pressure, etc., provided from the pressure pressure corrector are received and maintained at another server of the provider server or the pressure compensator operator at step S60. In step S70, it is analyzed whether the amount of gas used is rapidly decreasing or rapidly increasing, or whether a meaningful change state has occurred. As a result of such analysis and monitoring, when a specific symptom occurs, the operator analyzes the state of gas consumption on the user side and performs guidance (S80). In addition, it may be possible to provide an urgent guidance to the user by sensing that an accident due to gas leakage or the like may occur.
