Referring to FIG. 6, an energy management system including one or more energy-using devices and an energy management device for supplying or cutting off energy to the energy-using device, the energy management by the energy management device according to an embodiment The energy management method of the system may include receiving energy price information including an energy price and a transaction price from the energy provider (S10), monitoring the energy price information in real time (S20), and transmitting the Calculating (S30) energy usage information, and bidding on energy sales using driving plan information, the energy price information, and the energy usage information for the energy-using device (S40). . The configuration of the apparatus will be described with reference to Figs.
The energy management method may further include storing the generated energy or energy not used by the energy using device (S50), and selling energy not used by the energy using device using the energy price information (S50). S60) is configured to further include.
The energy management system performs wired and wireless communication with energy providers. The energy management system sends information about energy usage to the energy provider and receives energy control commands from the energy provider. In addition, the energy management system receives energy price information, that is, real-time energy price, energy transaction price, etc. from the energy provider (S10). For example, the energy provider provides a graph as shown in FIG. 5 to the energy management system. That is, the energy management system receives the real-time energy price, energy transaction price data after a certain time (t0, t1, etc.).
Referring to FIG. 5, first, the energy management system monitors the energy price and the energy transaction price in real time (S20). The energy management system may participate in an energy bid, purchase, and supply the energy-using device in the home using driving plan information, energy price information, and energy usage information of the energy-using device, using one or more energy-using devices. Time point t0 of FIG. 5). On the contrary, the energy management system may sell energy to the energy provider using energy price information and energy storage information after a predetermined time t1 (S60). That is, the energy management system may use the energy price information to generate the remaining energy and the power generation device and sell the energy stored in the energy storage device to the energy provider (for example, at time t1 in FIG. 5).
