Embodiment Construction

[0041] The inventors have realized that appliances / plug loads connected eg within a building are themselves categories, even if they refer to their appliance type (eg "refrigerator", "dishwasher", etc.). For example, many manufacturing companies produce products with the same generic name / type but with subtle differences in actual electrical behavior, which is often controlled by embedded electronics. This variety makes them difficult to accurately place in existing classifications, such as resistive loads (R loads), resistive inductive loads (RL loads), etc. Moreover, this makes their mathematical analysis difficult or too simplified to be useful for any day-to-day operations.

[0042] The inventors have also realized that it is not always possible to classify plug loads into different power ratings, since appliances may draw different powers. For example, washing machines have electronics built into them that can make the wash, rinse, and spin cycles draw different amounts ...

Abstract

An electrical outlet / socket device, a system for smart electrical power supply within a building, and a method for smart electrical power supply within a building are presented. The electrical outlet / socket device comprises a sensor for detecting the presence of an identification tag associated with an electrical appliance, the sensor being configured for extracting a unique identifier of the electrical appliance stored in the identification tag; one or more electrical conductors configured for coupling to the electrical appliance for supply of power to the electrical appliance; a measurementunit coupled to the one or more electrical conductors for performing electrical measurements; and a processor configured for associating the electrical measurements with the unique identifier for further processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrical socket / socket arrangements, to systems for intelligent power supply in buildings. Background technique [0002] The home automation industry is booming, and smart products promise greater convenience, comfort, and even energy savings. Overall, what smart products offer is to change the way of life by changing the way humans do things. This is done by tasking electronic devices that often communicate with a computing system (CS), which in parallel notifies humans / users. In addition to notifying humans, such a computing system could even notify another computing system performing different automations. These technological networks are broadly known as the Internet of Things (IoT). [0003] In home automation, progress has been made in the direction of developing a remote-controlled electrical outlet or power plug whose power can be turned on / off. Several of these plugs can even measure energy cons...
