Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic system for power/energy consumption management of one or more domestic appliances, which is routinely informed on actual energy tariff through a network control unit.
  • JP-A-2000214186 discloses a power consumption management apparatus for enterprise with an electronic unit that measures total amount of power consumed by electrical equipment.
  • EP-A-1136829 discloses a process for measuring the energy consumption of a plurality of appliances connected to a power network in which each switching-on or switching-off of each appliance is detected through a specific high frequency signal injected in the network.
  • DE-A-3935102 discloses a process for varying the load on a power system by injecting signals into the system using an audio frequency signal generator.
  • the electronic system according to the invention is characterized by the features listed in the appended claims. Thanks to such features, the electronic system according to the invention may:
  • the electronic system according to the present invention may also be able to interact with the utility company information center (thorough power line or TLC) to routinely collect information about contract terms and restrictions like daily/weekly/monthly/seasonally tariffs, peak limit and/or penalty.
  • TLC thorough power line
  • the electronic system may be able to negotiate with the utility company backend for a possible reduction of energy consumption in front of unplanned lack of power.
  • the electronic system according to the invention is preferably linked to so called “intelligent plugs” (i.e. plugs which can interrupt electrical supply to appliances on the basis of a specific signal on the power network) in agreement with priorities fixed by the user.
  • intelligent plugs i.e. plugs which can interrupt electrical supply to appliances on the basis of a specific signal on the power network
  • the electronic system may comprise the following hardware subsystems:
  • display and keyboard where the user can set his preferences, power priorities, fixed objectives/targets and read the estimated power consumption or warnings of the home appliances;
  • microprocessor running a power management software
  • data transmission device (appl. modem) that permits the data connection with the appliances and intelligent plugs (wireless RF, bluetooth, 812.11b/a, wired and/or power line);
  • power meter which can be an external device, integral with the network, in order to make possible its installation in a different place (for instance near the main power switch);
  • serial/usb interface to exchange data with a personal computer or telecom modem.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view which shows how the electronic system according to the invention interacts with the user, the appliance and other elements linked by a data transmission network;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a hardware subsystem of the electronic system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a power management model according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic flow-chart showing the data flow of the power management system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an example of user interface used with the electronic system according to the invention.
  • the power management algorithm which drives the electronic system according to the invention can have two main functionalities identified by the user, an “on line” functionality and a “run time” functionality.
  • the “on line” functionality supports the customer through the display associated to the electronic system, in defining the initial settings of the system like:
  • the “run time” functionality of the power management algorithm may perform at least the following activities:
  • the energy consumption is higher than the security threshold.
  • the algorithm may stop or pause the appliances or functions inside appliance with lower priority level. After a defined time and a complete disconnection of the appliances with priority 1 , if the energy consumption is not yet below the security threshold the algorithm starts the procedure to start or pause the appliances with priority 2 .
  • FIG. 3 shows the area of intervention and the methodology adopted by the power management algorithm to avoid shutoff.
  • the security treshold 1 , 2 , . . . n are defined by the electronic control system on the basis of the input/targets selected by the user.
  • the time threshold 2 is reached after a predetermined amount of time in which the energy consumption of home appliances is above the security threshold 1 . This is due to a normal practice in shutting off if high power consumption level is maintained longer than a predetermined time. This is the reason why of the “L” shape of the zone of security threshold 2 and n.
  • a “smart” appliance with power management (PM) features is able to provide the PM functionality also in a stand-alone mode.
  • the appliance is able to collect the actual energy consumption and manage the transaction to the status (i.e. normal function, energy cost saving function, pause and delayed start) as required by the energy availability.
  • the smart appliances with PM features is able to coordinate its interventions with the global management led by the electronic system opening a negotiation cycle to maximize the appliances performances relatively to the available energy.
  • an “intelligent” appliance without PM features is able to provide the PM functionality only interacting with the electronic system hosted by a “smart” appliance or by a specific stand-alone device.
  • the PM algorithm running in the electronic system is able to drive the appliances not only providing the start, stop and pause command but also running energy cost saving functions.
  • the electronic system can be used with traditional (or non-intelligent) appliances since these can be controlled by intelligent plugs and can participate actively to the PM process.
  • Each intelligent plug is able to provide on/off functionality and if possible to drive the energy consumption with continuous power regulation.
  • the electronic system can host a set of software algorithms that can run on different devices placed in house network or outside but “on line” connected. Examples of “in house” devices are:
  • a smart appliance hosting the PM algorithms [0046] A smart appliance hosting the PM algorithms.
  • the PM algorithm can be also distributed on separated devices (for example the “on line” functionality can be on a PC to make easier the user interaction while the “run time” functionality can be hosted inside an appliance).
  • Warnings and alarms are foreseen every time that the PM algorithm detects a critical event, interacts with the appliances to avoid dangerous situation or finds problems to complete the forecasted daily/weekly energy-saving plan.
  • These messages can be displayed in different ways on different devices for example:
  • the related software is essentially composed by:
  • NMT Network Management Tool
  • a “smart application” software that manages the power demand of the appliance by interpreting the energy tariffs and shows the available alternatives to customer on the user interface or by network/remote interrogations.
  • the NMT program starts at first time the user uses the appliance.
  • This shell announces the appliance to the other smart appliances already working in the house (community) and integrates itself on the home network environment.
  • the main goal of this software is to maintain the list of smart appliances that are working in the house, built the priority list and share the real time data to other software layers.
  • the main goal of the “smart application” software shell is to avoid power shutdown reducing the instant power consumption before to reach the power peak limit or critical situations.
  • This application before starting a working cycle of the appliance, checks if there is enough energy to avoid shutoff and eventually asks to other smart appliances, with lower priority, to reduce their power consumption.
  • the “smart application” software can support innovative services to increase the customer satisfaction likes:
  • the electronic system has a user interface preferably placed in an appliance.
  • Such user interface has been designed to be extremely simple and easy to use. The idea is to add minimal modifications to standard user interface, since two keys are enough: the ‘selector’ key S and ‘remote’ key K.
  • the display Scrolls through a variety of opportunities showing the corresponding charges (Euro, $/cent or other currency).
  • the user accepts a selection by pressing the usual ‘start’ key.
  • the appliance will start its working based on the time (the input can be a delay time or the time on which the appliance has to start actually its program) and corresponding charge that was displayed.
  • the user interface may show the delay or the time when will start the service.
  • the optional ‘remote’ key is preferably added to permit the remote control feature and check the status of the appliance from cellular phone or browsing by Internet connection.
  • Middle portion of FIG. 5 suggests to wait 2hours and 20 min (display T) and to pay 60 eurocents (about $0.70) for the washing cycle. Now, the customer can accept the suggestion by pressing the ‘start’ key (not shown) or look for a new alternative by pressing the selector key S again.
  • the new alternative suggests to wait 8 hours and 20 min and to pay only 20 eurocents (about $0.23) for the washing cycle. Again, the customer can accept by pressing ‘start’ or select the first option by pressing the ‘Selector’ key again.
  • appliance will start running based on the time and corresponding charge that was displayed.
  • the utility company takes advantages mainly from the possibility to interact “on line” with the house controlling actively the energy consumption in order to avoid the peaks and balance the energy demand during the day. This can be done by utility company in two different interaction levels:
  • the electronic system represents the device to interface the home and negotiate switch off or energy cost saving functions for the connected appliances.
  • the PM system is able to find the best planning taking into account the user needs and the energy cost tariffs imposed by the utility company.
