FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall connection relationship between a demand response service execution system for a community, an IOT home service server, and an integrated gateway according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a demand response service execution system 100 for a community according to an embodiment of the present invention includes, for example, a power supply and a thermal energy supply service And may be implemented by a CES server for CES (Community Energy System) operators.

Here, the dense energy-consuming area may refer to a community, such as an apartment complex, made up of a plurality of energy-consuming households.

The CES server 100 can collect consumption amount information about energy consumption in each household participating in the community as a member through the integrated gateway 120 connected to the IoT home service server 110. [

That is, the CES server 100 can easily measure the energy consumption in the community at a low cost without using a separate infrastructure by utilizing the integrated gateway 120 for providing the IoT home energy service.

For this purpose, the integrated gateway 120 can be constructed in an integrated form of an infrastructure for IoT home energy control service and an infrastructure for energy consumption metering.

For example, the integrated gateway 120 may include a terminal 121 connected to the AMI-based metering interface 130 (e.g., a communication terminal), and a terminal 121 connected to the IoT home service server 110 and the CES server 100 (Not shown).

The metering interface 130 may be configured to include a remote metering device such as an RS-485 based power meter, a water meter, a calorimeter, a hot water system, Collected and transmitted to the CES server 100 via the Ethernet interface, and recorded in the database in the CES server 100.

The integrated gateway 120 may calculate the energy consumption amount related to at least one of the water consumption amount, the gas consumption amount, and the electric power consumption measured by the AMI-based metering interface 130 or the electric power consumption amount of each appliance used in the furniture, (Or Internet router) 101 to the IoT home service server 110 and the CES server 100 via the RS-485 'cable and transmits the collected energy consumption amount or the power consumption amount (consumption amount information) Can be transmitted simultaneously.

The CES server 100 also receives information about at least one of the power market, the external power of the main power system, and the energy environment confirmed from the exchange server 102 trading the energy (electric power, thermal energy, etc.) (For example, 'present supply amount', 'price increase', 'supply amount reduced') including information on the amount of energy received from the community 103, ',' Expected shortage of supply ', etc.).

The CES server 100 can execute the demand response service for the community on the basis of the consumption amount information collected through the integration gateway 120 and the supply / demand status information about the energy supplied to the community.

That is, in order to provide the demand response service for adjusting the power consumption in each household in the community according to the condition of the electric power supply environment, the CES server 100 can control the electric power consumption of the appliance (IoT) 140).

For example, the CES server 100 calculates the community consumption amount by summing the energy consumption amount of each household, and when the value obtained by subtracting the community consumption amount from the energy supply amount to the community is less than or equal to a threshold value (for example, ), It is judged that the supply demand is reduced or the supply demand is insufficient and the demand response execution condition is satisfied, and the demand response service can be executed.

For example, the CES server 100 may generate a message requesting reduction of energy consumption, including at least one of the consumption amount information, the supply / demand status information, and the power consumption amount of each device, To a consumer terminal (e.g., a smartphone) 141.

The consumer terminal 141 that has confirmed the message from the CES server 100 transmits the message to the household appliance connected to the integrated gateway 120 via the Internet (IoT) via the IoT home service server 110, The control unit 140 identifies the controllable device 140 (a lighting switch, a smart plug, a heating controller, etc.), and identifies the device for a predetermined period of time (for example, '30 minutes) So that the amount of energy consumption in the furniture can be reduced.

For example, the consumer terminal 141 drives the communication module 123 provided in the integrated gateway 120 through the IOT home service server 110 to transmit the device 140 connected through the Internet IoT, Energy consumption in the community can be easily controlled by terminating energy consumption by device in a large order or by decreasing intensity (intensity).

2 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a demand response service execution system for a community according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, a demand response service execution system 200 for a community according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include an information processing unit 210, a service control unit 220, and a database 230 .

The information processing unit 210 confirms the supply / demand status information about the energy supplied to the community.

Here, the community is a concentrated energy consumption area where energy such as electric power and thermal energy is supplied by a CES company using cogeneration power. For example, the community is composed of a plurality of households such as apartment complexes, , And can be used to refer to a community that distributes royalties as much as the amount used.

For example, the information processing unit 210 receives information on at least one of the power market, the external power of the main power system, and the energy environment from the exchange server that trades the energy, Information on the supply and demand status including the change in the amount of supply and demand of the energy supplied to the community can be confirmed on the basis of the information on the supply and discharge amount of at least one of energy, heat energy and gas.

For example, the information processing unit 210 converts the present supply and demand amount of electric power (heat energy) received in the community ('A apartment building 101') from a smart meter installed between a CES provider and an external power system Minute interval '), and a change in the amount of supply such as' decrease in the amount of receipt' can be derived by comparing the current receipt amount with the past receipt amount collected before a certain period (for example, '1 week') from the present time.

In addition, the information processing unit 210 analyzes news and articles related to the current electric power market or the energy environment to check whether the electric power price is raised or not, and thereby predicts changes such as 'expected shortage of supply due to price increase' .

In this manner, the information processing unit 210 can confirm the supply / demand status information including the amount of supply and demand of the energy currently being supplied to the community, the change of the supply and demand amount, and the expected change.

In addition, the information processing unit 210 collects consumption amount information on energy consumption in each household participating in the community as a member.

For example, the information processing unit 210 may determine, via an integrated gateway associated with the IoT home service, an energy consumption amount related to at least one of water consumption, hot water consumption, gas consumption, heating consumption and power consumption measured by an AMI- Can be collected as the consumption amount information.

Also, the information processing unit 210 can collect, as consumption amount information, the status of the devices used in the households in the community and the power consumption amount of each device through the integrated gateway.

For example, referring to FIG. 1, the integrated gateway 120 may be configured as an integrated infrastructure for an IoT home energy control service and an energy consumption metering.

In one example, the integrated gateway 120 is connected to an AMI-based metering interface 130 (e.g., a communication terminal) by an RS-485 cable connected to a terminal 121 to provide power, gas, hot water, , Etc., and the measured values of the power consumption per device can be collected at regular intervals (for example, 'every 15 minutes').

The integrated gateway 120 collects the measured values and transmits them to the IOT home service server 110 and the CES server 100 at the same time by the Ethernet interface connected to the terminal 122 together with information on the device status .

The information processing unit 210 may record information on each measurement value and device status transmitted to the CES server 100 as consumption amount information in the database 230 related to the community. For example, the information processing unit 210 may record at least one piece of device information, such as a lighting switch, a smart plug, and a heating controller in a house, collected through an integrated gateway associated with the IoT home service, in the database 230 related to the community .

In this way, the information processing unit 210 can utilize the gateway for providing the existing IoT home energy service as the integrated gateway 120 for the CES provider, thereby reducing the energy consumption in the households in the community without constructing a separate infrastructure Easy to measure and collect at cost.

The service control unit 220 executes the demand response service for the community based on the supply-demand status information and the consumption amount information.

In the present invention, the " demand reaction service "is a service control unit 220 for controlling the energy consumption of each household in the community according to the energy supply environment (i.e., supply and demand status information) Can be referred to as controlling the home appliance based on the Internet (IoT) according to the direct control method by the consumer terminal participating in the demand response service, by requesting (notifying) the demand reaction service participation to the consumer terminal through the service .

In addition, in the present invention, the "demand reaction service" may be executed according to the indirect control method when the consumer intends to participate from the consumer terminal in accordance with the direct control method by the consumer terminal. That is, the service control unit 220 may select the domestic devices according to the judgment of the demand reaction service execution system 200 and may control them by the indirect control method.

For example, the service control unit 220 may calculate the community consumption amount by summing the energy consumption amounts of the respective households, and calculate a value obtained by subtracting the community consumption amount from the energy supply / demand amount extracted from the supply / , It is determined that the demand reaction execution condition is satisfied and the demand reaction service can be executed.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, the service control unit 220 calculates the community consumption amount ('3000 kW') by summing the electric power consumption amounts of households in the community, and calculates the electricity supply amount ('3005 kW' It is judged that the demand response execution condition is satisfied and the demand response service can be executed because the shortage of supply and demand is expected to be within the threshold value ('10').

The service control unit 220 determines that the demand reaction execution condition is satisfied when the change extracted from the supply / demand status information is confirmed as a shortage of supply or an increase in price acquired in association with the consumption amount information, May be executed in advance.

At this time, the service control unit 220 may transmit the message 400 including the recommended power usage reduction for each household.

In addition, the service control unit 220 selectively transmits the message to a consumer terminal of a plurality of households constituting a community, thereby controlling energy consumption in a household having a relatively high energy consumption compared to other households It is possible. For example, the service control unit 220 may transmit the message to a consumer terminal of a household in the community whose energy consumption exceeds a household-specific threshold.

Here, the reference value for each household may be set to a value obtained by dividing energy supply / demand by the number of households, for example, and may be adjusted in accordance with the supply / demand status information.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to make the energy use control more easily in a community composed of a large number of households by appropriately compensating the consumers in the community that cooperatively cope with the execution of the demand response service.

In addition, the information processing unit 210 records at least one piece of device information, such as a lighting switch, a smart plug, and a heating controller in the furniture, collected through an integrated gateway associated with the IoT home service, in the database 230 related to the community And the service control unit 220 may provide a statistical status service related to energy consumption by period in the household to the consumer terminal connected to the household based on the device information and the consumption amount information.

In this manner, the service control unit 220 transmits statistical messages regarding energy consumed by the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual energy consumption and consuming devices based on the consumption amount information collected through the integrated gateway associated with the IoT home service, To provide an energy information service for each household.

The service control unit 220 integrates the IoT home service infrastructure and the AMI to provide a gas lock switch remote control function and a smart plug remote control function in addition to the energy metering functions such as the electricity consumption amount, , An external intruder detection function (security function) using an open detection sensor, a gas safety remote control function using an application, and a voice guidance control function of the device.
