METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC POWER OF SMART APPLIANCE, THEREOF SMART APPLIANCE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for controlling power of a smart appliance and the smart appliance thereof are provided to control power of a component which has lower priority by using a power consumption amount and priority information. CONSTITUTION: An HEMS compares total home energy consumption with total energy amount(605). A target power reduction amount is calculated(610). User setting for energy control is monitored(615). Instrument selection and power distribution are controlled according to the user setting(620). Current state(level) information of each electronic product is checked(625). A component of an electronic product having a current nth energy consumption amount is selected to be changed. The target power reduction amount changed due to the component change is confirmed(630) The target power reduction amount is determined(635). Current N and final n are compared(640). IT is determined whether a current p-value is larger than 1 or not(645). An energy amount exceeding a preset energy amount is marked(650).
