In addition, the virtual power management service providing server 300 can exchange data with each other through a communication object.

First, the background of the implementation of the virtual power management service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Currently, KEPCO is the only electric power sales company, but when the demand management market is opened, negotiating sellers will be launched. If the demand management market is opened to deal with electricity, Or you can get real profits by using electricity saved in factories.

In this regard, the government revised the Electricity Business Act in April to make it possible for consumers to save their electricity so that the demand and development resources can be traded in the electricity market equally, The market for demand response (DR) is expected to be established. Recently, due to the power shortage that has been continuing for several years, interest in energy efficiency and power demand management is growing in Korea. In the first half of this year, the Negawat market can be opened due to the amendment of Electricity Business Act, which focuses on demand resource market.

In this case, when the DR market is opened, the market with a dynamic nature is actively changed. In this case, buildings, offices, marts, factories, etc. that have saved electricity can get substantial profits. In the electricity market, the demand management companies are also allowed to compete equally by presenting the reduction cost and the reduction amount so that they can be recognized and traded as resources like the electricity produced together with the consumption reduction. Therefore, buildings or factories can earn profits by selling electricity to demand management companies, and demand management companies can collect all of their savings and sell them to the electric power market. In other words, because the consumption reduction cost is lower than the electricity production cost, the emission of greenhouse gas can be reduced because the electricity cost is not reduced because the consumer burden of the electric bill is reduced and the consumption is reduced.

If the DR market is fully operational, it will be able to secure 1.9 million KW of energy consumption resources, equivalent to 2.5% of the power peak by 2017. Currently, the government is compensating demand reductions through the power- By utilizing the mechanism of the electric power market, we will strengthen the stability and sustainability of the demand management business, reduce the electricity supply cost, restrain the electricity rate increase, stabilize the supply and demand of electricity, But also to contribute to the creation of In addition, in order to increase the market participation of SMEs and midsize companies, it is possible to limit the participation ratio of large companies and to access KEPCO monopoly power consumption data. Accordingly, a method for providing a virtual power management service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is to provide a method for a user to contract a power usage amount with a power supply company, and to save power saving energy.

The receiving unit 310 can receive the user data and the scheduled virtual power amount from the user terminal 100. [ Here, the receiving unit 310 may transmit the user data of the user terminal 100 to the electric power generation server 400. For example, the user data may be the user's ID, resident registration number, telephone number, address, and the like. Here, the receiving unit 310 may receive the power usage data within a predetermined period of time of the object using the power returned from the power generation server 400 based on the transmitted user data. For example, it may be one year of power usage data mapped to user data. Then, the receiving unit 310 can calculate the expected virtual power amount based on the received power usage data. For example, assuming that the electricity use data for 2011 is 100,000 KM, the electricity use data for 2012 is 200,000 KM, the electricity use data for 2013 is 400,000 KM, and the electricity use data for 2014 is 800,000 KM , The power usage data is increased by the square power of 2, so that 1.6 million KM can be calculated as the expected virtual power consumption. Here, the reception unit 310 calculates the expected amount of virtual power in consideration of all parameters such as, for example, an increase in facilities of the power-using object, an increase in the number of employees, an increase in the investment cost, etc. based on the user data You may. That is, although the power consumption is increasing at a square power of 2, the receiving unit 310 may reflect the variable such as a decrease in the amount of investment or a decrease in facilities. To summarize, when calculating the amount of virtual power to be used, the receiving unit 310 can calculate power consumption data by taking into account the necessary condition and the parameter based on the user data as a sufficient condition. Then, the receiving unit 310 can transmit the calculated expected amount of virtual power to the user terminal 100. [ Here, the user terminal 100 may transmit to the virtual power management service providing server 300 an amount of virtual power to be used to use within a predetermined period based on the calculated expected use virtual power amount. That is, even if the receiving unit 310 calculates the expected amount of virtual power to be used in consideration of various parameters, there may be a parameter that the user does not input. Therefore, the user can directly input the parameter based on the calculated expected amount of virtual power And can use this to establish a contract for a virtual energy amount to be used for a predetermined period of time, for example, for one year.

The collecting unit 320 may collect the current power consumption amount based on the user data from the power generation server 400 that measures and charges the used power. That is, the collecting unit 320 may transmit user data to the power generation server 400. [ That is, user data that can identify a user such as an address, a resident registration number, and an IP phone number can be transmitted to the power generation server 400 to collect the current power consumption used in the power use object of the user terminal 100, You can collect power usage every 15 minutes. Accordingly, the collecting unit 320 may collect power usage information of an object using power in response to the transmitted user data. At this time, the current power usage amount may be a result obtained by collecting the collected power usage amount information at a predetermined cycle, and may be managed with Big Data.

The first transmitting unit 330 may transmit the consulting data to the user terminal 100 by driving the energy consulting algorithm based on the collected current power usage amount. Here, the first transmission unit 330 may analyze the pattern of the power usage data within the predetermined period of the object by month, day, time, and season. Then, the first transmitter 330 can extract the monthly, day, time, and seasonal patterns by learning the analyzed power usage data using a learning algorithm. In this case, the learning algorithm can use a gene learning algorithm. In addition, when the difference between the estimated power usage based on the extracted pattern and the current power usage collected exceeds a predetermined error range, the first transmission unit 330 transmits at least one Lt; / RTI > devices. For example, it is possible to arrange devices, such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, etc., which are always supplied with power, or to arrange only devices that are not always supplied with power. The first transmission unit 330 may list up the power savings when turning off the at least one sorted device and transmit the list of power savings to the user terminal 100. This allows the user to be aware of what device should be turned off, and may also set the amount of power savings together to instill will and goal awareness.

When the amount of electric power used within a predetermined period is lower than the amount of virtual electric power to be used, the second transmission unit 340 transmits a sales event for the saved energy, which is the difference between the amount of used virtual power and the amount of used electric power, Lt; / RTI > For example, if the user agrees to use 500,000 KW for one year, the power trading server 400 may allocate 500,000 KW to the user of the user terminal 100, When the user's power-using object uses only 400,000 KW, the energy of 10,000 KW can be the energy that is not needed for the user of the user terminal 100. Accordingly, by attempting to sell it again to the power trading server 500, it is possible to lower the price by allowing the electric power supplier or the selling subject other than the exclusive company such as KEPCO to sell by other companies or individuals have.

The feedback unit 350 drives the energy consulting algorithm based on the current power usage amount collected by the second transmission unit 340 to transmit the consulting data to the user terminal 100, Analyzed power usage data, collected current power usage, re-collected current power usage, and analysis to reduce excess power usage beyond the pattern at other times within a predetermined time period if the re-collected current power usage is not lowered The consulting data can be reassessed based on the pattern. Then, the feedback unit 350 can transmit the re-calculated consulting data to the user terminal 100. [ That is, if the user is using the power more than usual, but it is not possible to use the power, the feedback unit 350 may provide the user with data on the most appropriate saving method By transmitting, the user can recognize this and guide the user to use or save only a predetermined energy limit.

When a transaction approval event for a sales event is generated from the power trading server 400, the settlement unit 360 calculates a settlement amount corresponding to the reduction amount in which the sales event occurs, and calculates a commission for the virtual power management service from the calculated settlement amount The amount of savings can be calculated, and the calculated savings can be paid to the user terminal 100. [ Here, a method such as an account, point or electricity bill substitution payment registered by the user terminal 100 may be used.

One embodiment of the virtual power management service executed in the virtual power management service providing server 300 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG.

At this time, according to the pattern analysis result as shown in (a), the current usage amount of the one-month use planned amount, the weekly use planned amount, and the one-day used amount can be displayed, so that information on how much the current user has used can be transmitted to the user. In addition, (b) if the current use of electricity is expected to exceed the predetermined amount of use, equipment with or without the equipment to which it is to be supplied at all times, To the user terminal 100 via the network. And (c) when the air conditioner is operating, it can give some information about how much energy can be reduced and how much the expected usage can be met. For example, if the user turns on the air conditioner for one hour and assumes 18 degrees, he can transmit consulting data such as 20 minutes or 21 degrees. In addition, (d) a list of devices that are used frequently, that is, devices that always need to be powered, (e) devices that can be used at a reduced rate, Can be displayed. For example, in the case of a user who watches TV for five hours, the user can reduce the time to four hours. In the case of a user who wishes to turn on the light, the user can display data such that the light can be turned off and awakened. In addition, (f) when such consulting data are all performed, it is possible to recognize by displaying the amount of money and the amount of power immediately, such as giving a compensation for a mission like a game. That is, the target usage amount is a quest of the game, and if it is performed, it can prompt the user to reduce the power consumption by showing the compensation amount to the user.

4, the virtual power management service providing server 300 receives the user data from the user terminal 100 at the time of subscription, (2) receives the usage amount information from the power generation server 400, for example, every 15 minutes, The virtual power management service providing server 300 transmits the consulting data to the user terminal 100 on the basis of the collected information and when the energy saving has occurred, the virtual power management service providing server 300 sells the consulting data to the power trading server 500, (5) When the payment is made, (6) The settlement amount excluding the fee is made to be deposited to the user of the user terminal (100) via the bank and the like.
