Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an energy efficiency service system and method, and more specifically, to an AI-based facility usage pattern analysis-based energy efficiency service system and method that provides energy efficiency services by analyzing the usage patterns of a user's facilities based on artificial intelligence. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, driven by carbon neutrality policies, there is a trend of shifting the social atmosphere from a focus on energy production to improving energy efficiency. Consequently, the adoption and operation of Factory Energy Management Systems (FEMS) to monitor and efficiently manage energy usage in factories is increasing, and the demand for FEMS is gradually rising due to recent recurring power shortages.
[0003] However, in the conventional energy efficiency market, data collection, diagnosis, consulting, and efficiency processes are conducted as separate businesses. Furthermore, the costs for implementing hardware and software for energy efficiency, such as power meters and network construction, are high, and the installation and operation of FEMS incur excessive costs amounting to hundreds of millions of won due to the expenses for installing efficiency facilities and consulting.
[0004] In particular, as the proportion of energy consumed by compressors in industrial energy consumption increases, interest in improving energy efficiency is growing in the compressor market. Compressors can be broadly classified into FSD (Fixed Speed Drive) compressors and VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressors based on their inverter type. Since VSDs offer the advantage of reducing power consumption compared to FSDs, the demand and sales of VSD compressors are showing a continuous upward trend.
[0005] Nevertheless, users of existing FSD compressors often feel burdened by the additional costs involved in switching to VSD compressors. This is because confidence in energy efficiency is low due to the lack of quantitative quantification regarding the Return on Investment (ROI) for energy efficiency. Consequently, there is a growing need and demand for the establishment of AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for diagnosis, monitoring, and energy reduction to measure energy efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide an AI-based energy efficiency service system and method based on equipment usage pattern analysis that can quantitatively analyze equipment operating rates and operating patterns by AI based on actual energy data of users.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide an AI-based energy efficiency service system and method based on equipment usage pattern analysis that can match equipment users and equipment suppliers based on equipment operating rates and operating patterns analyzed by AI.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide an AI-based energy efficiency service system and method based on equipment usage pattern analysis that mediates the sharing of equipment-related information and the equipment purchasing process based on information analyzed by artificial intelligence. means of solving the problem

As used in this specification, "module," "part," and "model" refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, and may refer to hardware components such as, for example, software, an FPGA, or one or more processors. In describing embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known functions or known configurations may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present invention, such detailed description is omitted.
[0037] An energy efficiency service system and method based on an artificial intelligence-based facility usage pattern analysis according to an embodiment of the present invention receives first actual energy data regarding a user facility currently in use by a user from at least one user terminal associated with the user, and analyzes the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time of the user facility based on the first actual energy data regarding the user facility for the energy efficiency of the user facility. In the present invention, the operating rate and operating pattern of the user facility can be analyzed by a process of determining a second artificial intelligence model corresponding to the type of user facility by analyzing the type of user facility based on the first actual energy data using a first artificial intelligence model, and by analyzing the first actual energy data using the second artificial intelligence model determined according to the analyzed type of user facility to analyze the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time of the user facility. According to an embodiment of the present invention, by determining different artificial intelligence models according to the type of user facility and analyzing the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time of the user facility, a service for energy efficiency tailored to the type of user facility can be provided.
[0038] FIG. 1a is a configuration diagram of an energy efficiency service system based on artificial intelligence-based facility usage pattern analysis according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1a, the energy efficiency service system (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include at least one user terminal (100) and an energy management server (300).
[0039] The user terminal (110, 120, 130) is a user terminal, for example, of a factory or building, and can be configured to request various energy-related services from the energy management server (300), such as energy efficiency of the equipment, energy monitoring, search for supplier information and / or supplier matching.
[0040] When the energy efficiency service system (10) is configured to provide services such as searching for supplier information or matching consumers and suppliers, the energy efficiency service system (10) may further include at least one supplier terminal (200). The supplier terminal (210, 220, 230) is, for example, a terminal of a supplier that supplies various facilities used by consumers such as factories or buildings, and may be configured to provide information related to the facilities provided by the supplier to the energy management server (300) and to request energy-related services such as searching for consumer information and matching consumers.
[0041] The energy management server (300) can provide various energy efficiency services, such as analyzing the operating rate and operating pattern per unit of time of the user's equipment to improve the energy efficiency of the equipment used by the user, and additionally matching the user with the supplier, allowing the user to search for supplier equipment information, or allowing the supplier to search for user equipment information.
[0042] To this end, the energy management server (300) can receive first actual energy data regarding the user equipment (140) used by the user in a factory, building, etc. from a user terminal (100) related to the user. The energy management server (300) can automatically analyze the type of the user equipment (140) based on the first actual energy data obtained through remote collection by the first artificial intelligence model and the second artificial intelligence model, and analyze the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time.
[0043] As such, the energy management server (300) according to the embodiment of the present invention analyzes the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time for the user facility (140) using the first artificial intelligence model and the second artificial intelligence model, and thus can provide an optimal energy efficiency plan by accurately analyzing the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time for the user facility (140) without separately receiving user facility information related to the user facility (140).
[0044] The energy management server (300) can analyze the type of consumer facility (140) based on the first actual energy data by the first artificial intelligence model, and determine a second artificial intelligence model corresponding to the analyzed type of consumer facility (140) in order to derive an accurate operating rate and operating pattern per unit time for the consumer facility (140).
[0045] The second artificial intelligence model is an artificial intelligence model for analyzing the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time of the consumer facility (140) from the first measured energy data related to the consumer facility (140), and may include a data processing / analysis algorithm for the first measured energy data and various parameters for data processing / analysis. The energy management server (300) can analyze the operating rate and operating pattern per unit time of the consumer facility by analyzing the first measured energy data using the second artificial intelligence model.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first artificial intelligence model may be a Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based artificial intelligence model. In one embodiment, the first artificial intelligence model may classify the control scheme of the consumer facility (140) by extracting a representative waveform of the first measured energy data and performing clustering on the representative waveform by comparing the representative waveform with a plurality of reference waveforms set by the GMM-based artificial intelligence model.
[0047] In an embodiment, the first artificial intelligence model first normalizes the first measured energy data to have a set normalization range, such as 0 to 1, and can remove outliers from the first measured energy data based on set criteria related to consumer facilities, such as compressor capacity.
[0048] In addition, the first artificial intelligence model can apply a time window having a set time interval to the first measured energy data and calculate the number of waveform peaks in the time interval within the time window while sliding the time window along the time axis to search for a time interval for extracting a representative waveform.
[0049] The first artificial intelligence model can extract data from the time interval corresponding to the time window satisfying the set number of waveform peaks within the time window as a representative waveform when the number of waveform peaks within the time window satisfies a preset range of peaks (e.g., 3 or more, 4 or fewer, or 4 or more, 5 or fewer, etc.) among the first measured energy data.
[0050] In addition, the first artificial intelligence model can remove the noise data when, for example, the current harmonic distortion rate deviates from the preset current harmonic distortion rate reference range (e.g., 20% or more) or the voltage harmonic distortion rate deviates from the preset voltage harmonic distortion rate reference range (e.g., 5% or more).
[0051] FIG. 1b is an example of representative waveforms extracted from first measured energy data according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1c is a diagram showing the clustering results of representative waveforms extracted according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1d is a conceptual diagram showing a method for calculating similarity between waveforms.
[0052] Referring to FIGS. 1a to 1d, the first artificial intelligence model can classify the control scheme of the consumer facility (140) by determining similarity between waveforms through dynamic time warping based on a GMM-based artificial intelligence model, by analyzing the distance distribution between a representative waveform extracted from the first actual energy data and a preset reference waveform (a statistically processed waveform of energy data acquired for various facilities) (Shapelet s1, s2).
[0053] The reference waveform (Shapelet s1, s2) may be a basic waveform extracted from actual energy data collected for equipment such as a specific compressor. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1c, the types of consumer equipment are classified into four types (Class 1, 2, 3, 4). The horizontal and vertical axes of FIG. 1c represent the distance d(x, s1) between the representative waveform extracted for consumer equipment and the first reference waveform (Shapelet s1), and the distance d(x, s2) between the representative waveform extracted for consumer equipment and the second reference waveform (Shapelet s2), respectively.
[0054] At this time, since the lengths of the two waveforms are different, the similarity between the two waveforms can be analyzed in a high dimension using the kernel trick to determine the type of user equipment (140) corresponding to the representative waveform, for example, the control scheme. The similarity between the waveforms can be analyzed using a Dynamic Time Warping Matching algorithm based on an encoder-decoder supervised learning algorithm or a Gaussian mixture model unsupervised learning algorithm, as exemplified in FIG. 1d, and other algorithms such as the Euclidean Matching algorithm may also be used.
[0055] The control scheme of the consumer facility (140) may include at least two of various control schemes, for example, an inlet modulation method, a loading / unloading control method, an auto dual control method, a variable displacement control method, a variable speed control method (motor speed control method), and a blow-off control method using a blow-off valve in a centrifugal compressor, and one or more control schemes corresponding to the consumer facility (140) may be determined from among these various control schemes.
[0056] In one embodiment, the consumer facility (140) may include a compressor. The energy management server (300) can measure the power consumption of the consumer facility (140) based on the unit time operation rate and operation pattern of the compressor corresponding to the consumer facility (140) by the second artificial intelligence model.

[0058] In one embodiment, the energy management server (300) is provided as a cloud energy management server to reduce data collection and communication costs, so that it can collect data on a cloud basis from a meter (150) of a consumer terminal (100) connected to a consumer facility (140), or receive consumer facility information and supplier facility information in another way.

In addition, the consumer facility information may further include facility information such as the specifications, type, and year of manufacture of the consumer facility (140) in addition to the actual energy data.
[0060] When additional information about the equipment of the consumer facility (140) is provided along with the actual energy data of the consumer facility (140), the energy management server (300) can identify the type of the consumer facility (140) based on the information about the consumer facility (140) and analyze the energy efficiency information of the consumer facility (140).

[0069] In an embodiment, the first artificial intelligence model can classify the control scheme of a consumer facility by determining the similarity between waveforms through an analysis of the distance distribution between a representative waveform extracted from actual energy data of the consumer facility based on dynamic time warping by a GMM-based artificial intelligence model and reference waveforms collected for each of the various types of consumer facilities.
[0070] The user facility operation information analysis unit (330) is configured to analyze the first measured energy data by analyzing the unit time operation rate and operation pattern of the user facility using a second artificial intelligence model determined according to the type of the analyzed user facility (140).

[0081] The operation pattern analysis unit (332) can analyze the operation pattern by determining the operation time, non-operation time, and operation end time of the consumer facility based on the energy measurement values over time of the first actual energy data collected for the consumer facility (140) by the second artificial intelligence model. The operation rate calculation unit (334) can calculate the operation rate according to the ratio of the operation time per unit time.
[0082] The energy efficiency analysis unit (340) may include an operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342), an non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344), and an energy efficiency information generation unit (346). The operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342) can predict operating time energy efficiency information based on a value obtained by weighting the operating rate to the difference between the first operating time energy measurement value generated during operating time among the first actual energy data collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second operating time energy prediction value generated during the operating time of the supplier facility.
[0083] The non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344) can predict non-operating time energy efficiency information based on a value obtained by weighting the ratio of non-operating time per unit time to the difference between the first non-operating time energy measurement value generated during non-operating time among the first actual energy data collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second non-operating time energy prediction value generated during non-operating time of the supplier facility.
[0084] The energy efficiency information generation unit (346) can generate energy efficiency information for the consumer facility (140) based on operating time energy efficiency information and non-operating time energy efficiency information. At this time, the artificial intelligence model can analyze the power status (usage pattern) (Loading / Unloading / Stop) of the consumer facility (140) by utilizing an encoder-decoder artificial neural network using an LSTM artificial intelligence model.
[0085] In this way, through the analysis of equipment usage patterns (Loading / Unloading / Stop) based on actual measurement data, it is possible to analyze the Return on Investment (ROI) for energy efficiency improvements resulting from the replacement of existing low-efficiency consumer equipment (e.g., low-efficiency compressors, etc.) with high-efficiency consumer equipment (e.g., high-efficiency compressors, etc.).
[0086] Meanwhile, the consumer equipment information receiving unit (320) can additionally receive second actual energy data related to the second supplier equipment from the consumer terminal (100) after the consumer equipment (140) is replaced with the second supplier equipment (high-efficiency consumer equipment). The remotely collected second actual energy data can be used for energy efficiency verification.
[0087] The settlement unit (370) can calculate an energy efficiency measurement value by comparing the first actual energy data collected for the consumer facility (140) before replacement with the second actual energy data collected for the second supplier facility installed on the consumer side to replace the consumer facility (140), and calculate the cost of the energy efficiency service based on the calculated energy efficiency measurement value.
[0088] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an energy efficiency service method based on artificial intelligence-based facility usage pattern analysis according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1a to 4, the user facility information receiving unit (320) of the energy management server (300) can receive first measured energy data regarding the user facility (140) currently being used by the user from at least one user terminal (100) (S12, S13).
[0089] The consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) of the energy management server (300) can analyze the operation rate and operation pattern per unit time of the consumer facility (140) based on the first measured energy data regarding the consumer facility (140) (S14). At this time, if the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) has not received type information or facility information of the consumer facility (140), it can analyze the type of the consumer facility (140) based on the first measured energy data by the first artificial intelligence model and determine a second artificial intelligence model corresponding to the analyzed type of the consumer facility (140). The first artificial intelligence model for analyzing the type of the consumer facility (140) may be an artificial intelligence model based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM).
[0090] The first artificial intelligence model of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can classify the control scheme of the consumer facility by extracting a representative waveform of the first measured energy data and comparing the extracted representative waveform with a set number of reference waveforms and a GMM-based artificial intelligence model to perform clustering on the representative waveform.
[0091] In the embodiment, the first artificial intelligence model can classify the control scheme of the consumer facility by determining the similarity between waveforms by analyzing the distance distribution between a representative waveform extracted from the actual energy data of the consumer facility based on dynamic time warping by a GMM-based artificial intelligence model and a reference waveform collected for each of the various types of consumer facilities. The consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can analyze the operation rate and operation pattern per unit time of the consumer facility by analyzing the first actual energy data by a second artificial intelligence model determined according to the type of the analyzed consumer facility (140).
[0092] FIG. 5 is an example of first measured energy data of a consumer facility to explain the operation pattern analysis process of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit constituting an energy management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1a to 5, the operation pattern analysis unit (332) of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can analyze the operation pattern by determining the operation time (T1), non-operation time (T2), and operation end time (T3) of the consumer facility (140) by a second artificial intelligence model based on the energy measured values over time of the first measured energy data (20) collected for the consumer facility (140). The operation rate calculation unit (334) of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can calculate the operation rate according to the ratio of the operation time (T1) per unit time (T0).
[0093] During the operating time (T1), the amount of power generated by the consumer facility (140) is equal to the operating power (P1). During the non-operating time (T2), the amount of power generated by the consumer facility (140) is equal to the non-operating power (P2) due to the motor idling of the consumer facility (140), which becomes a cause of unnecessary power consumption. The energy efficiency analysis unit (340) of the energy management server (300) can analyze the supplier facility related to the energy efficiency of the consumer facility (140) based on the operating rate and operating pattern of the consumer facility (140) (S15).
[0094] The operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342) of the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) can predict operating time energy efficiency information based on the difference between the first operating time energy measurement value (P1) generated during the operating time (T1) among the first actual energy data (20) collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second operating time energy prediction value generated during the operating time of the supplier facility (200), with the operating rate weighted.
[0095] The non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344) of the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) can predict non-operating time energy efficiency information based on a value obtained by weighting the ratio of non-operating time per unit time to the difference between the first non-operating time energy measurement value generated during non-operating time (T2) among the first actual energy data (20) collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second non-operating time energy prediction value generated during non-operating time of the supplier facility (200).
[0096] The energy efficiency information generation unit (346) is in the operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342). Energy efficiency information for the user facility (140) can be generated based on the operating time energy efficiency information calculated by and the non-operating time energy efficiency information predicted by the non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344).
[0097] Meanwhile, the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) can generate energy efficiency information by reflecting energy efficiency information based on seasonal deviation (change). For example, additional energy may be generated to cool the compressor in the summer, and energy efficiency information for the summer season, etc., can be predicted by correcting data measured in the winter season, etc.
[0098] Meanwhile, the supplier facility information receiving unit (310) of the energy management server (300) may receive supplier facility information related to multiple different supplier facilities provided by multiple suppliers from multiple supplier terminals (200) (S11). The supplier facility information transmission unit (350) of the energy management server (300) may transmit facility information of one or more first supplier facilities related to energy efficiency of the consumer facility (140) and analyzed energy efficiency information to the consumer terminal (100) (S16). The supplier facility supply request unit (360) of the energy management server (300) may request the supply of the second supplier facility to the supplier terminal when the second supplier facility among one or more first supplier facilities is selected by the consumer terminal (100) (S17, S18, S19).
[0099] FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the settlement process of an energy management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The consumer facility information receiving unit (320) can receive second actual energy data related to the second supplier facility from the consumer terminal (100) after the consumer facility (140) is replaced with the second supplier facility (S21, S22).
[0100] The settlement unit (370) can calculate an energy efficiency measurement value by comparing the first actual energy data collected for the consumer facility (140) before replacement with the second actual energy data collected for the second supplier facility installed on the consumer side to replace the consumer facility (140), calculate the cost of the energy efficiency service based on the calculated energy efficiency measurement value, transmit evaluation information for the supplier facility to the supplier terminal, and transmit ROI-based settlement information to the consumer terminal (100) (S23, S24, S25).
[0101] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the settlement process of an energy management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is an example of second measured energy data of a consumer facility after being replaced with a supplier facility. For example, as the inverter of the consumer facility is changed from a Fixed Speed Drive (FSD) to a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) corresponding to the supplier facility, the power consumption of the consumer facility may be reduced compared to before the facility replacement.
[0102] Referring to FIG. 7, the operation pattern analysis unit (332) of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can analyze the operation pattern by determining the operation time (T1), non-operation time (T2), and operation end time (T3) of the consumer facility (140) based on the energy measured over time of the second actual energy data (30) collected for the consumer facility (140) after replacement. The operation rate calculation unit (334) of the consumer facility operation information analysis unit (330) can calculate the operation rate according to the ratio of the operation time (T1) per unit time (T0).
[0103] After the equipment replacement, during the operating time (T1), the power consumption of the consumer equipment (140) is reduced to a second operating power (P3) compared to the first operating power (P1) before the equipment replacement. During the non-operating time (T2), the second non-operating power (P4) generated due to the motor idling of the consumer equipment (140) is significantly reduced compared to the non-operating power (P2) before the replacement.
[0104] Accordingly, the energy consumption of the consumer facility (140) can be reduced by the amount of reduced operating energy (40) during the operating time (T1), and the energy consumption of the consumer facility (140) can be reduced by the amount of reduced non-operating energy (50) during the non-operating time (T2). As previously explained, the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) of the energy management server (300) can analyze the supplier facility related to the energy efficiency of the consumer facility (140) based on the operating rate and operating pattern of the consumer facility (140) (S15).
[0105] The operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342) of the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) can predict operating time energy efficiency information based on the difference between the first operating time energy measurement value (P1) generated during the operating time (T1) among the first actual energy data (20) collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second operating time energy prediction value generated during the operating time of the supplier facility (200), with the operating rate weighted.
[0106] The non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344) of the energy efficiency analysis unit (340) can predict non-operating time energy efficiency information based on a value obtained by weighting the ratio of non-operating time per unit time to the difference between the first non-operating time energy measurement value generated during non-operating time (T2) among the first actual energy data (20) collected for the consumer facility (140) and the second non-operating time energy prediction value generated during non-operating time of the supplier facility (200).
[0107] The energy efficiency information generation unit (346) is in the operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (342). Energy efficiency information for the user facility (140) can be generated based on the operating time energy efficiency information calculated by and the non-operating time energy efficiency information predicted by the non-operating time energy efficiency prediction unit (344).
[0108] FIG. 8 is an illustrative diagram for explaining a measurement data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, measurement data (actual energy data) measured for a consumer facility (140) can be collected by an energy management server (300) according to a preset measurement data transmission cycle.
[0109] At this time, the measurement data transmission cycle can be varied based on the type of user facility (140) predicted for the user facility (140) and / or the state change cycle generated by analysis by statistical processing based on the data measured for the user facility (140) or by analysis by an AI model.
[0110] The energy management server (300) can adjust the transmission period of measurement data transmitted from the measuring instrument (150) so that it becomes smaller than the state change cycle (or state change prediction cycle) analyzed for the consumer facility (140). At this time, the energy management server (300) can set the transmission period of measurement data to be at least half of the state change cycle (or state change prediction cycle) analyzed for the consumer facility (140) so that data is not transmitted at a shorter period than necessary.
[0111] Additionally, the energy management server (300) can monitor the status change of the consumer facility (140) in real time by means of a meter (150), and can collect actual energy data transmitted in the form of an event from the meter (150) when a change in the power status of the consumer facility (140) is detected. Accordingly, by recognizing the status change of the consumer facility (140) in real time, the operation pattern or energy efficiency information regarding the consumer facility (140) can be analyzed with higher accuracy.
