FIG. 3 is a timing diagram for explaining management of demand response data for each profile to reduce power consumption in a Smart Grid environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

In the case of providing the charge information for the demand response on a profile-by-profile demand response data management system according to the profile according to the present invention, a variety of efficient energy reduction effects can be generated.

First, the profile of the customer can be subdivided into a geographical profile, a business profile, a user profile, a service-specific profile, and an information-device-specific profile.

Geographical profiles can be subdivided by region, type of housing, and number of household members. When energy below the average value is allocated by allocating and combining the eco-indexes for each average energy usage information, incentives are provided to the consumers, Actively encouraging active participation of consumers.

The operator profile can be divided into major energy usage information for each operator and supplementary energy information for each operator. The user profile can be classified into gender-based energy usage information, age-based energy usage information, and occupation-specific energy usage information.

Provided services-specific profiles can be divided into the case of using the acceptance reaction plan only, and the case of using the combination of the acceptance reaction plan and the information display device (including the web portal).

According to the information display device profile, the incentive system for energy reduction is provided by dividing the number of touches of the information display device for confirming the main energy information and additional information.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the energy usage information is provided in the smart meter, the operation management system provides meter reading information based on the profile to be applied to each customer.

First, when the smart meter provides energy usage information to the information display device (300), the consumer can confirm the energy consumption amount. In addition, the smart meter transmits energy usage information to a data concentrator to analyze and manage the energy information (301).

The operations management system collects (302) integrated energy usage information from the data concentrator and analyzes energy usage information for each profile. In addition, the operation management system receives the response according to the panel touch and confirmation, that is, the customer response information, based on the energy usage information used for each user from the information display device (303).

Thereafter, the operation management system analyzes the effect of the energy usage and the saving rate by the user profile of the customer (304). In this case, the operation management system determines a relative energy use efficiency in association with related information such as weather information, market data information, geographical profile, and service-specific profile per user profile. Then, the operation management system provides the determined energy use efficiency and saving rate information to the information display device of the customer and the mobile information display device of the user (305). In addition, energy use meter reading information is provided to the demand reaction device (306), and provided to the eco index calculating device (307).

The eco index calculation device may calculate an echo index suitable for each profile (308) and provide the calculated echo index to the information display device (309) to induce consumers who have confirmed the echo index to actively participate in energy reduction . Then, the eco-index calculation device provides the calculated echo index to the demand response device (310) so that the demand response device derives the customer reference load information (311).

The demand reaction device provides the operation management system with the charge management information based on the customer reference load information, the charge profile information based on the customer profile information, the eco-index information, and the demand reaction charge information (312).

In the smart grid environment, the operation management system processes the demand-response plan information so that it can be notified and confirmed by the fixed terminal and the mobile terminal, and provides the information to the customer (313) in order to actively and actively recognize the energy consumption of the active customer. In addition, the operational management system analyzes the feedback response of the consumer to the energy use efficiency information to analyze whether the energy use rate is increased or decreased (314). Accordingly, the operational management system can provide preferential rates and preferential rates according to the energy use efficiency of the customers, thereby providing energy usage fees and preferential information (315).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing demand response data for each profile to reduce power consumption in a smart grid environment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

If the smart meter reads the energy usage of each customer (400), the information about the energy usage is transmitted to the information display device (401). The energy usage of the smart meter is also transmitted to the data concentrator and collected as integrated energy usage (402).

The information display device transmits response information on energy consumption information and additional information from the user who has confirmed the energy usage to the operation management system (403).

The operational management system analyzes the meter reading information collected from the data concentrator, the profile of the customer, the weather information, and the market data, and stores the data in a meter data repository of the operational management system and analyzes it (404). In addition, the energy usage rate is analyzed (405) in connection with information such as weather, market data, geographical profile, and service-specific profile per user profile. Then, the analyzed energy utilization rate information is transmitted to the information display device (406).

On the other hand, the eco index calculating device derives an echo index suitable for the customer characteristics based on the meter reading information, the customer profile, the weather information, and the market data (407). Then, the derived echo index is transmitted to the information display device in the customer and is also transmitted to the demand reaction device (408).

The demand response device derives the customer reference load of each customer reflecting the eco-index based on the meter reading information (409) and transmits it to the operation management system. The operation management system derives the demand response plan information according to the weather information, the market data, the customer base load information, the customer profile information, the eco-index information, and the demand response charge derivation information (410) And various information providing objects (411).

The operation management system converts demand response charge information into a processed form so that information can be confirmed even in a fixed terminal or mobile terminal environment, and provides the converted information to the user. An example of the processed form is a post form. In the present embodiment, a web is used as a publishing tool, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various publishing methods using an information display device may be added.

The operation management system analyzes the energy consumption information from the customer who confirmed the energy use rate and the customer feedback information based on the additional information (412). We analyze the increase and decrease of the energy use rate according to the feedback response of the customer, and determine the billing and preferential policy to provide information so as to have an active influence on the future use energy consumption pattern.

Accordingly, the method and apparatus for managing the demand response data for each profile for reducing the electric power used in the smart grid environment according to the present invention and the system are effective for consumers having active and active consumption tendency. In addition, the present invention can use, for example, e-mail and text messages (SMS) in addition to the above-described methods. In terms of the consumer's activity, obtaining the information of the posting form is the most active method, and the e-mail is the neutral method because it differs according to the usage form, and finally, the text message can be explained by the passive method. E-mail delivery methods can be actively or passively used depending on the type of customer's usage. In addition, by analyzing the energy use efficiency by profile, managing the data, providing the information to the customer, and collecting and analyzing the immediate feedback response from the customer, it is possible to enhance and analyze the energy use efficiency in the future.

The demand response data management method for each profile according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of a program command which can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination.
