Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for controlled release of electrical energy, gas, water or similar media according to the preamble of claim 1 and a corresponding method.
- the control unit (7) can be implemented as software or as hardware or as a combination of software and hardware.
- Vacuum cleaner systems, etc. is usually done with the help of coin, chip card or keyboard machines.
- the mechanical throw of coins, the withdrawal of a chip card or the manual input of a code via the keyboard triggers the electrical switching process of a permanently and electrically connected to the consumption device time relay (switch 4), so that the circuit is closed and the consumption device in operation is set. After a defined time interval, the relay switches again, which breaks the circuit and the
- Consumable device is put out of service again.
- billing of the use of the consumption device takes place directly over the coins at the moment of throwing into the consumption device.
- the operator removes the coins at a later date.
- tokens cards, chips, codes
- the operator removes the cards or chips at a later time
- FIG. 3 shows this prior art.
- the dispensing devices can be accommodated compactly in a against unauthorized access and weather-protected space (house connection room) and
- control unit (7) is preferably implemented only as software and without the use of additional hardware. According to the invention, a highly integrated measuring, control and
- the logical control unit, z As coin-operated, and the dispensers (technical switching unit, relays) locally to be operated
- Consumable device necessarily mechanically and electrically connected switch control (for example, coin operated) to be separated mechanically and electrically from the utility device and accommodate in a connection space spatially separated from the user space.
- switch control for example, coin operated
- Reservation module in the control unit allows the use of the consumption device at a given time.
- the following advantages are achieved: Firstly, the use of intelligent prepaid energy meter systems with integrated relay in the new system / method presented here enables the local separation of the control unit and the consumption device.
- the invention ensures device independence, ie interoperability.
- the system / method becomes much more flexible, because besides the control in the identical software at the same time a wide variety of services can be implemented at different rates (e.g., time of use).
- the operator may e.g. make the prices of its services variable, because the payment is either implemented directly at the cash register or can be stored in the software freely programmable.
- the control of the consumables can be done not only through the unit "time”, but for example over a defined amount of energy or the like.
- the activation of the consumption device is independent of payment types and thus e.g. regardless of currencies or currency conversions as in
- the customer and the operator may be provided with additional information both on the consumption profiles and on the consumption device itself (e.g.
- Monitoring e.g., by correlation.
- the newly developed system / method is highly integratable, especially with regard to modern "state-of-the-art" communication systems such as the Internet For example, by integrating a communication network as shown in FIG Operator functions to the user / customer again transferred.
- the benefits 1 - 6 are provided by the smart meter and control software of the
- Intelligent prepaid metering systems the advantages 7 - 13 through the smart meters and application software of the intelligent prepaid meter systems, the advantage 14 by the application and control software and the communication network, the advantage 15 by the smart meters and application and control software of the intelligent ones Reached prepaid meter systems.
- Figure 1 is an illustration of the entire system according to the invention according to a first embodiment and the simplest structure for the purpose of unambiguous comparability with today used
- FIG. 2 shows an illustration of the entire system according to the invention in accordance with a second, more complex exemplary embodiment, wherein "state-of-the-art" communication technology is additionally integrated,
- FIG. 3 is a representation of one of the simplest common systems today (prior art) for the purpose of comparability with the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a simple application of the overall concept of the invention with the minimally required individual parts and their functional connections for producing the comparability with systems / methods used today.
- the new system / method allows centralized management and control of several connected consumer devices through the use of intelligent prepaid metering systems and an intelligent application software installed directly on the commercial terminal (9) of the operator (eg cash-computer system) (7).
- the integration of additional communication technology is readily possible (see Figure 2).
- the invention is to be regarded as a holistic system / method consisting of several intelligent prepaid meters (8) and intelligent management, control and application software (7). She can on any
- Consumables (5) can control.
- the local positioning of the counters is arbitrary. For example, they can be accommodated in the service room, while the consumption devices (5) can be placed distributed on the user-accessible premises (B).
- each intelligent energy meter (8) via a communication interface (eg a RS485 bus line) with the - also located on-site - operator computer (9) via the installation level (D) connected to the intelligent management, Control and
- Application Software (7) is installed. Through this software, the operator has direct access to the smart meters (8) and can
- the software allows the operator (7) to reserve certain services in advance for end customers (flexible tariff classification through programming capability).
- Each intelligent electricity meter (8) is connected via a communication interface (eg an RS485 bus line) to the on-site access unit (11) connected.
- a communication interface eg an RS485 bus line
- the access unit (11) can then be connected via a router to the in-house communication network (10), whereby it may gain access to the Internet (13).
- Network point (11) it is now both the operator and other users (end users) with their terminals (12) possible to dial directly or via the in-house network (10) in the access unit (11) and to use shared services of the application ,
- the operator (9) always has control and access via the software (7) (and thus also via the counters (8)), whereas the user only receives very limited access (advantage for device protection), the scope of the operator certainly.
- Another advantage of the relocation of the administration and control application (7) is that direct access to the system via secure Internet is possible.
- a special Internet platform (15) with data back-end (14) can be used, which is implemented on a centrally installed server which is not accessible to the user. This platform can then be called from anywhere via the Internet (13) by an end-user device (16), e.g. as a user
- This Internet platform can read and manage the data of several consumer devices, so that only one platform is needed.
- Step 1 The user / end customer physically visits the operating site of the company prematurely
- the user / end customer appears at the reserved time and identifies himself to the operator by means of the reservation slip / proof, which is usually the
- the operator (9) selects the assigned consumption device (5) indirectly via the connected intelligent prepaid counter (8) and releases it for the amount of energy or time unit purchased. It is about the control and
- Application Software (7) a counter-specific data word - the so-called "software token” - sent to the counter (8) containing all this information.
- the corresponding counter (8) is activated, thereby enabling the connected consumption device (5) .
- the user can continue to use the consumption device (5) until he is ready prematurely is (see step 5b) or until the unlocked
- Step 5 Amount of energy or time is consumed (see step 5a). Step 5:
- energy / time can be provided to the user via the software (7).
- Step 1
- the user / end customer visits the community platform (15) on the Internet (13) from home using his terminal (16). There, he selects the desired service provider and reserves a specific service or service Consumption device (5) for the desired day + time, if the capacity of the service provider allows it.
- the payment can be either different
- the access unit (11) can retrieve the relevant data for the associated operation from the data back-end server (14). This data is analyzed and used to manage the reservation of each consumer device (5).
- Access unit (11) checks. If everything is done correctly and the payment is settled, the operator can use the associated consumable (5) for its use
- the user / end customer connects via his terminal (smartphone, tablet, etc.) (12) and common identification methods with the in-house network (10).
- the network recognizes the user and forwards it automatically to the internal application side of the access unit (11), where his reservation data is displayed. With confirmation / acknowledgment on his terminal (12) can the
- the access unit (11) receives the activation command either by the operator
- Token contains the released amount of energy or time and further information on eg flexible tariffing.
- the associated counter (8) is activated, thereby enabling the connected consumption device (5).
- the user may continue to use the consumable (5) until it is either ready prematurely (see step 7b) or until the unlocked amount of energy or time is consumed (see step 7a).
- Unused energy / time can for example be credited to the user via the software (7) or remunerated.
- the new system / method presented here includes the use of intelligent metering systems in relation to the power supply-not state regulated use case. Since these counters can also be used in state-regulated applications (eg sub-metering), the new system provides evidence of cost-effectiveness, which is generally not easy to achieve for the isolated use case of the state-regulated sector (see cost-benefit analysis for a nationwide deployment of smart meters from E & Y on behalf of the BMWi on Smart Metering / Smart Grids in 2013). Thus, the new system can act as a catalyst for the use of smart meter systems in the field of Smart Metering and Smart Grid.
- Switching unit hardware and firmware of the application unit (software) increases the flexibility of the invention enormously: Different services at different rates can be offered to the user, cash-back procedures are supported, etc. An extension to new applications can be easily achieved by software become. Possibly. Combinations of this new software with hardware or firmware of the control or switching unit can be easy in that for users
- Inaccessible house connection room can be implemented.
- Payment can be processed at checkout and therefore not from separate Payment devices (eg coin machines) is dependent. As a result, daily / hour-dependent prices are feasible.
- the provider / operator has access to both specific and general consumption profiles / flows for individual consumer devices.
- the software can alert the provider. As a result, defective devices with higher consumption are immediately visible
- Provider can grant the consumer bonuses with particularly economical use (readable from the meter data for the session)
- UIUs User Interface Unit
- codes can be transmitted for activating and blocking the devices.
- the user / consumer is able to view the energy profiles of the self-powered consumables, e.g. save on his account.
- Network point with which the meters are connected, the users / consumers can independently unlock and lock the assigned consumer devices, which relieves the operator.
- the released user functions are determined by the operator.
- the system according to the invention is independent of the network operators, because the counters are switched behind. As a result, the prepaid service is visible only to the end user; The provider does not need tariff and device changes.
- the cash register system or operator computer which is in direct contact with the meters, assumes the role of the central computer through the application software installed on it. So can be dispensed with additional hardware. Furthermore, data protection is improved because the computer is on-site in operation and controls the smart meters by wire.
- EP 852364 Bl describes a central computer, which takes over the evaluation of the individual computers and commands to open or
- Meter data (control data) can be transmitted in a wired and thus more stable and secure manner as the control and evaluation are located in the immediate vicinity.
- the invention makes it possible to carry out a consumption control measurement of the connection (1) by installing further delivery devices (20) in all the energy / conduction paths following the connection (1)
- Control unit management, control and application unit
- access unit here: web server
- consumer / user devices smart phone, tablet, laptop or similar
