SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT

摘要

Apparatus and method for energy management are disclosed. An operating state of each energy consumption device is estimated by detecting a variation in total energy consumption amount per unit time using a meter and then comparing the variation with a previously inputted energy consumption amount per unit time for each of the energy consumption devices. If the operating state of each of the energy consumption devices is estimated, it is possible to detect the consumption time and power consumption amount for each of the energy consumption devices, thereby predicting a current or future energy consumption rate. The predicted result is applied in various manners so as to effectively use energy.
