Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for dynamic control of electrical load, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, conventional power distribution capacity allocation management methods include: static allocation, where all users are allocated their capacity evenly according to the design, and overload tripping is controlled by switch trip units; however, once the power load exceeds the standard power distribution capacity, the power will be cut off. In most cases, some other users will not use their full power quota, and the total capacity of the area will still have a lot of surplus capacity. Users with excess power demand cannot use this surplus capacity, resulting in low utilization rate and power efficiency of power supply equipment, affecting the user's power experience; a large amount of spare equipment capacity cannot be optimized and redistributed for full utilization.

[0003] In addition, demand-side management relies on manual orderly electricity use, power rationing, or load control terminal limit tripping; it can only limit the total amount and cannot control internally, and once the limit is exceeded, the entire area will be shut down; there is insufficient user interaction, the internal power usage status is unclear, the power management of each device is disordered, the operation is arbitrary, and the total load limiting method is simplistic, which can easily cause overload tripping and interrupt the power supply to all devices.

[0004] Demand-side management relies excessively on user participation, which not only has high requirements for load type, power environment and infrastructure, but also requires users to have a high level of demand-side management awareness. At the same time, demand-side management cannot effectively control the start-up behavior of user equipment and cannot effectively cope with rapid load increases, which may cause total load overload tripping.

[0005] There are still no effective solutions to the problems of low utilization rate and power efficiency of power supply equipment and easy overload tripping in the control methods of regional power consumption in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a method and apparatus for dynamic control of electrical load, a storage medium, and an electronic device, to at least solve the problems of low utilization rate and power efficiency of power supply equipment and easy overload tripping in the control methods of regional power consumption in related technologies.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a dynamic management and control method for electricity load is provided, comprising: obtaining the current capacity balance of a user sub-region from a smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal via a mobile terminal; when the current capacity balance is less than the load power of an electrical device to be activated in the user sub-region, requesting an adjustment and capacity increase for the user sub-region via the mobile terminal to make the current capacity balance greater than or equal to the load power; and determining whether to activate the electrical device based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination and control device or the server.

[0008] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a dynamic management and control device for electricity load is also provided, comprising: an acquisition module, configured to acquire the current capacity balance of a user sub-area from a smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal via a mobile terminal; a request module, configured to request, via the mobile terminal, to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-area by means of a regional coordination control device or a server when the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated in the user sub-area, so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power; and a determination module, configured to determine whether to activate the electrical equipment based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination control device or the server.

[0009] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a storage medium is also provided, wherein a computer program is stored therein, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the steps in any of the above method embodiments when running.

[0010] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program and the processor is configured to run the computer program to perform the steps in any of the above method embodiments.

[0011] This invention addresses the issue that, when the current capacity balance of a user sub-region is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated within that sub-region, the mobile terminal requests capacity adjustment for the user sub-region from the regional coordination control device or server. This ensures that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power. The system then determines whether to activate the electrical equipment based on the request result from the regional coordination control device or server. This solution solves the problems of low power supply equipment utilization and efficiency, and the tendency to cause overload tripping, inherent in related technologies' regional power control methods. Furthermore, for electrical equipment whose current capacity balance cannot meet the load power requirements, the mobile terminal can flexibly request capacity adjustment for the user sub-region from the regional coordination control device or server to ensure that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power, thereby improving power efficiency and preventing overload tripping.

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The method embodiment provided in Embodiment 1 of this application can be executed in a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. Taking its operation on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for a dynamic power load management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal 10 may include one or more ( Figure 1Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. Optionally, the mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal described above. For example, the mobile terminal 10 may also include components that are more... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 Equivalent functions or ratios shown Figure 1 The functions shown have more different configurations.

[0023] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the dynamic control method for power load in this embodiment of the invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the above-described method. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal 10 via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0024] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by the communication provider of the mobile terminal 10. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0025] The embodiments of this application can be run in Figure 5 In the network architecture shown, such as Figure 5 As shown, the network architecture includes: a cloud server (equivalent to a server), a regional coordination and control device, a smart electricity monitoring terminal (equivalent to a smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal), a power supply switch monitoring terminal for power facilities (equivalent to a power supply switch monitoring terminal), and a mobile terminal.

[0026] This embodiment provides a method for dynamic control of the power load of the aforementioned mobile terminal. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a dynamic control method for electrical load according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S202: Obtain the current capacity balance of the user's sub-area from the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal via the mobile terminal;

[0028] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, "user sub-region" can be understood as the region monitored by the intelligent electricity monitoring and metering terminal, and "current capacity balance" can be understood as the load power that can be carried in the current user electricity sub-region, excluding the current load.

[0029] Step S204: When the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated in the user sub-area, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-area so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power.

[0030] Specifically, if the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, then it is determined that the electrical equipment is permitted to be activated.

[0031] Step S206: Determine whether to enable the electrical equipment based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination control device or the server.

[0032] Through the above steps, when the current capacity balance of a user sub-region is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated within the user sub-region, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-region so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power. Then, based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination control device or server, it is determined whether to activate the electrical equipment. This technical solution solves the problems of low power efficiency and easy overload tripping in related technologies' regional power control methods. Furthermore, for electrical equipment whose current capacity balance cannot meet the load power, the mobile terminal can flexibly request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-region so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power, thereby improving power efficiency and avoiding overload tripping.

[0033] Optionally, the entity performing the above steps may be a mobile terminal or other device, but is not limited to this.

[0034] In step S204 above, the result of requesting the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region via the mobile terminal is not only to ensure that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power, but also to ensure that the increased capacity does not exceed the maximum permissible limit in the user's main switch line.

[0035] There are multiple ways to implement step S206. In one optional embodiment, it can be implemented as follows: When the request result indicates that the user sub-area has obtained additional capacity adjustment (for example, if the original capacity balance is 10KW, then the net increase of 5KW from 10KW to 15KW can be understood as additional capacity adjustment), determine whether to allow the activation of the electrical equipment. In one optional embodiment, the equipment can be activated directly; it is also possible to simply inform or prompt the user of the result of activating the equipment. In this case, whether to activate it subsequently is up to the user. That is, when the request result indicates that the user sub-area has not obtained additional capacity adjustment, the activation of the equipment is prohibited. The aforementioned electrical equipment is activated if the regional coordination control device or server indicates that capacity can be increased for the user's sub-region; otherwise, activation is prohibited. In actual operation, to enhance safety, before activating the electrical equipment, the method further includes: updating the tolerance of the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment, and then prompting the user to activate the electrical equipment; or, after obtaining additional capacity from the regional coordination control device or server, notifying the intelligent electricity monitoring and metering terminal to update the tolerance of the user's sub-region and the tolerance of the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment, and then prompting the user to activate the electrical equipment.

[0036] Specifically, the mobile terminal can send a request to the regional coordination control device or server to request additional capacity for the user sub-region, requesting an additional capacity of a predetermined amount for the user sub-region; and the mobile terminal can receive the request result determined by the regional coordination control device or server in the following manner: the regional coordination control device or server determines whether it is possible to increase the capacity for the user sub-region based on the difference between the current total capacity of the total region and the total load of the total region, wherein the regional coordination control device or server can increase the capacity for the user sub-region when the difference between the current total capacity and the total load is greater than or equal to the additional capacity, and the regional coordination control device or server cannot increase the capacity for the user sub-region when the difference between the current total capacity and the total load is less than the additional capacity.

[0037] Optionally, the mobile terminal can notify the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal to request the regional coordination and control device or server to adjust and increase capacity for the user's sub-region; or when the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal detects that the load is over-limit or approaching over-limit, it can proactively request the regional coordination and control device or server to adjust and increase capacity for the user's sub-region.

[0038] The following technical solutions of this invention provide several ways to request capacity expansion for the user's sub-region from the regional coordination control device or server via the mobile terminal:

[0039] 1) When the current capacity balance is insufficient, the mobile terminal automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server for capacity adjustment and expansion for the user sub-region in real time. That is, as long as the mobile terminal determines that the current capacity balance is insufficient for the load power of the electrical equipment, it automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server in real time. That is, it determines in real time whether the current capacity balance is insufficient (the user's total load is already overloaded or approaching overload, or it will be overloaded once the electrical facilities are turned on), and automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity adjustment without manual intervention.

[0040] 2) The mobile terminal prompts whether to apply, and upon receiving a confirmation instruction, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it is determined that the user needs to apply for capacity adjustment, the system prompts the user whether to apply for capacity. After manual intervention and confirmation, the system then applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity.

[0041] 3) The user can manually retry requesting the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user's sub-region through the mobile terminal. That is, if the application is rejected by the regional coordination control device or cloud server (such as when the remaining capacity of the region is insufficient to enable the power equipment at the current time), the user can manually retry the application at different times (or after turning off some power facilities) until the remaining capacity of the user or the region is sufficient and the application is accepted.

[0042] 4) The mobile terminal or smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal (or other execution entities, which are not limited in this embodiment of the invention) automatically retry in the first cycle to request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it can be determined in a certain scenario that the user needs to apply for capacity repeatedly (such as the user setting), the system replaces manual retry and performs automatic repeated application.

[0043] 5) The user can make an appointment for the time in advance through the mobile terminal, and when the appointment time arrives, request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region, or when the appointment time arrives, obtain the capacity reserved for the user's sub-region to meet the capacity adjustment request. That is, the user can apply for capacity by making an appointment for the time. For example, the system can apply automatically at the agreed time, or the system can reserve capacity to meet the user's capacity application at the agreed time.

[0044] Furthermore, when the total area is overloaded or the total area has insufficient capacity, the additional capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request can be cancelled through the area coordination control device or server; or, the additional capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request can be actively cancelled through the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal.

[0045] The following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention also provide several technical solutions for obtaining additional capacity by canceling the capacity adjustment request:

[0046] 1) Receive a cancellation command sent by the regional coordination control device or server through the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal. Under the instruction of the cancellation command, cancel the additional adjustment capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request. That is, when the regional load is too high or the capacity balance is insufficient, the regional coordination control device or cloud server sends a capacity cancellation command to the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal. The smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal cancels the additional adjustment capacity it previously applied for (reduced to the baseline value) within a certain period of time.

[0047] 2) The system automatically cancels the additional capacity obtained from the adjustment and expansion request at regular intervals, that is, the system cancels the additional capacity of the relevant terminals at the agreed time.

[0048] 3) After detecting that the load of the user sub-area has dropped to a predetermined value and exceeded a predetermined time, the additional adjustment capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request is cancelled. That is, after the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal detects that the load has dropped below the set value and exceeded a certain time, the previously requested additional adjustment capacity (dropped to the baseline value) is cancelled.

[0049] 4) When the reservation period expires, the additional capacity obtained by the request for capacity adjustment is cancelled. That is, when the application expires, the system cancels the additional capacity of the relevant terminal (or the terminal automatically cancels it).

[0050] 5) Before canceling the requested capacity adjustment, prompt the user to confirm whether to cancel the request. If the result is yes, cancel the additional capacity adjustment obtained by the request. This can also be understood as prompting the user whether to continue to allow the power-consuming equipment with a large load power to be turned on before canceling the additional capacity adjustment obtained by the request. If yes, the request will not be canceled; if no, the request will be canceled.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the method further includes: executing at least one of the following interlocking methods: soft interlocking; quasi-interlocking, wherein, in the soft interlocking method, when the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment has not obtained capacity authorization, remote control closing of the power supply switch is prohibited; in the quasi-interlocking method, when the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment has not obtained capacity authorization, manual closing of the power supply switch is impossible or will trip immediately after closing, and even if one wants to close the switch, the switch cannot be pushed in place or cannot be locked or held, that is, the internal (contacts) of the switch are not connected and a circuit cannot be formed; furthermore, when it is determined that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment automatically unlocks; when it is determined through the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment that the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment automatically interlocks.

[0052] This invention also provides a technical solution for issuing requests in advance. Before obtaining the current capacity balance of a user's sub-region from the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal via a mobile terminal, the method further includes: when the difference between the current total capacity limit of the total region and the total load of the total region is greater than or equal to the additional adjustment capacity, determining whether to adjust and increase capacity for the user's sub-region is done through at least one of the following methods: real-time determination by the regional coordination control device or server (i.e., actively granting the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal additional adjustment capacity as long as the total region's capacity balance is sufficient); proactively determining based on the load trend and historical load patterns of the total region, allowing for a certain margin; determining based on the user load trend and historical load patterns of the user's sub-region, and then proactively granting additional adjustment capacity when the user may need to adjust and increase capacity.

[0053] Based on the above technical solution, in the embodiments of the present invention, the electrical equipment is activated by at least one of the following methods: turning on the power supply switch of the electrical equipment via a mobile terminal; prompting the user to manually turn on the power supply switch of the electrical equipment via a mobile terminal; or directly starting the electrical equipment via the mobile terminal.

[0054] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platforms. Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes several instructions to cause a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in the various embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] This embodiment also provides a dynamic control device for electrical load, which is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0057] Figure 3 This is a structural block diagram of a dynamic control device for electrical load according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0058] The acquisition module 30 is used to obtain the current capacity balance of the user sub-area from the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal via the mobile terminal;

[0059] Request module 32 is used to request, via the mobile terminal, to the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase capacity for the user sub-region when the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated in the user sub-region, so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power.

[0060] The determination module 34 is used to determine whether to allow the power-consuming equipment to be enabled based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination control device or the server.

[0061] By employing the technical solution of this invention, when the current capacity balance of a user sub-region is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated within the user sub-region, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-region so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power. Then, based on the request result fed back by the regional coordination control device or server, it is determined whether to activate the electrical equipment. This technical solution solves the problems of low utilization rate and power efficiency of power supply equipment, and the tendency to cause overload tripping, in related technologies' regional power control methods. Furthermore, for electrical equipment whose current capacity balance cannot meet the load power, the mobile terminal can flexibly request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user sub-region so that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power, thereby improving power efficiency and avoiding overload tripping.

[0062] Optionally, the determining module 34 is further configured to determine whether to allow the power equipment to be enabled when the request result indicates that the user sub-area has obtained additional capacity adjustment; and to prohibit the power equipment from being enabled when the request result indicates that the user sub-area has not obtained additional capacity adjustment.

[0063] Specifically, if the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, then the electrical equipment is activated.

[0064] Optionally, the result of requesting capacity adjustment and expansion for the user's sub-region via the mobile terminal to the regional coordination control device or server is not only to ensure that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power, but also to consider that the capacity expansion cannot exceed the maximum permissible limit in the user's main switch line.

[0065] In actual operation, to increase operational safety, before activating the electrical equipment, the above method further includes: updating the tolerance of the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment, and then prompting the user to activate the electrical equipment; or after obtaining the additional adjustment capacity from the regional coordination control device or server, notifying the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal to update the tolerance of the user sub-region and the tolerance of the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment, and then prompting the user to activate the electrical equipment.

[0066] Specifically, the request module 32 is further configured to send a request to the regional coordination control device or server via the mobile terminal to request additional capacity adjustment for the user sub-region, in order to request additional capacity adjustment for the user sub-region of a predetermined capacity; and to receive, via the mobile terminal, the request result obtained / obtained by the regional coordination control device or server in the following manner: the regional coordination control device or server determines whether it is possible to increase capacity for the user sub-region based on the difference between the current total capacity of the total region and the total load of the total region, wherein, when the difference between the current total capacity and the total load is greater than or equal to the additional capacity adjustment, the regional coordination control device or server is able to increase capacity for the user sub-region, and when the difference between the current total capacity and the total load is less than the additional capacity adjustment, the regional coordination control device or server is unable to increase capacity for the user sub-region.

[0067] Optionally, the mobile terminal can notify the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal to request the regional coordination and control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region; or when the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal detects that the load is over-limit or approaching the over-limit, it can proactively request the regional coordination and control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region.

[0068] The following technical solutions of this invention provide several ways to request capacity expansion for the user's sub-region from the regional coordination control device or server via the mobile terminal:

[0069] 1) When the current capacity balance is insufficient, the mobile terminal automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server for capacity adjustment and expansion for the user sub-region in real time. That is, as long as the mobile terminal determines that the current capacity balance is insufficient for the load power of the electrical equipment, it automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server in real time. In other words, it determines in real time whether the current capacity balance is insufficient (the user's total load is already overloaded or approaching overload, or it will be overloaded once the electrical facilities are turned on), and automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity adjustment without manual intervention.

[0070] 2) The mobile terminal prompts whether to apply, and upon receiving a confirmation instruction, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it is determined that the user needs to apply for capacity adjustment, the system prompts the user whether to apply for capacity. After manual intervention and confirmation, the system then applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity.

[0071] 3) The user can manually retry requesting the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user's sub-region through the mobile terminal. That is, if the application is rejected by the regional coordination control device or cloud server (such as when the remaining capacity of the region is insufficient to enable the power equipment at the current time), the user can manually retry the application at different times (or after turning off some power facilities) until the remaining capacity of the user or the region is sufficient and the application is accepted.

[0072] 4) The mobile terminal or smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal (or other execution entities, which are not limited in this embodiment of the invention) automatically retry in the first cycle to request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it can be determined in a certain scenario that the user needs to apply for capacity repeatedly (such as the user setting), the system replaces manual retry and performs automatic repeated application.

[0073] 5) The user can make an appointment for the time in advance through the mobile terminal, and when the appointment time arrives, request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region, or when the appointment time arrives, obtain the capacity reserved for the user's sub-region to meet the capacity adjustment request. That is, the user can apply for capacity by making an appointment for the time. For example, the system can apply automatically at the agreed time, or the system can reserve capacity to meet the user's capacity application at the agreed time.

[0074] Furthermore, when the total area is overloaded or the total area has insufficient capacity, the additional capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request can be cancelled through the area coordination control device or server; or, the additional capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request can be actively cancelled through the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal.

[0075] The following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention also provide several technical solutions for obtaining additional capacity by canceling the capacity adjustment request:

[0076] 1) Receive a cancellation command sent by the regional coordination control device or server through the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal. Under the instruction of the cancellation command, cancel the additional adjustment capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request. That is, when the regional load is too high or the capacity balance is insufficient, the regional coordination control device or cloud server sends a capacity cancellation command to the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal. The smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal cancels the additional adjustment capacity it previously applied for (reduced to the baseline value) within a certain period of time.

[0077] 2) The system automatically cancels the additional capacity obtained from the adjustment and expansion request at regular intervals, that is, the system cancels the additional capacity of the relevant terminals at the agreed time.

[0078] 3) After detecting that the load of the user sub-area has dropped to a predetermined value and exceeded a predetermined time, the additional adjustment capacity obtained by the adjustment and capacity increase request is cancelled. That is, after the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal detects that the load has dropped below the set value and exceeded a certain time, the previously requested additional adjustment capacity (dropped to the baseline value) is cancelled.

[0079] 4) When the reservation period expires, the additional capacity obtained by the request for capacity adjustment is cancelled. That is, when the application expires, the system cancels the additional capacity of the relevant terminal (or the terminal automatically cancels it).

[0080] 5) Before canceling the requested capacity adjustment, prompt the user to confirm whether to cancel the request. If the result is yes, cancel the additional capacity adjustment obtained by the request. This can also be understood as prompting the user whether to continue to allow the power-consuming equipment with a large load power to be turned on before canceling the additional capacity adjustment obtained by the request. If yes, the request will not be canceled; if no, the request will be canceled.

[0081] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the determining module 34 is further configured to: execute at least one of the following interlocking methods: soft interlocking; quasi-interlocking, wherein, in the soft interlocking method, when the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment has not obtained capacity authorization, remote control closing of the power supply switch is prohibited; in the quasi-interlocking method, when the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment has not obtained capacity authorization, manual closing of the power supply switch is impossible or will trip immediately after closing; furthermore, when it is determined that the current capacity balance is greater than or equal to the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment automatically unlocks; when it is determined that the current capacity balance is less than the load power of the electrical equipment to be activated, the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the electrical equipment automatically interlocks.

[0082] This invention also provides a technical solution for sending requests in advance. Figure 4 This is another structural block diagram of the dynamic control device for electrical load according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0083] The sending module 36 is configured to determine, at least one of the following methods, whether to allocate additional capacity to the user sub-region when the difference between the current total capacity limit and the total load of the total region is greater than or equal to the additional allocation capacity: determining in real time through the regional coordination control device or server (i.e., actively granting additional allocation capacity to the smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal as long as the total region's capacity balance is sufficient); actively determining based on the load trend and historical load patterns of the total region, allowing for a certain margin; or determining based on the user load trend and historical load patterns of the user sub-region, thereby actively granting additional allocation capacity when the user may require additional allocation capacity.

[0084] Based on the above technical solution, in the embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 It also includes an activation module 38 for activating the electrical equipment in at least one of the following ways: turning on the power switch of the electrical equipment via a mobile terminal; prompting the user to manually turn on the power switch of the electrical equipment via a mobile terminal; or directly starting the electrical equipment via the mobile terminal.

[0085] It should be noted that the above modules can be implemented by software or hardware. For the latter, they can be implemented in the following ways, but are not limited to: all the above modules are located in the same processor; or, the above modules are located in different processors in any combination.

[0086] The following describes the dynamic control process of the above-mentioned power load with reference to preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0087] A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a dynamic power consumption management and load adjustment method: through the interaction and coordination between a handheld terminal (equivalent to the mobile terminal in the above embodiment, which may be an APP, public account, mini-program, or other user terminal device), a smart power consumption monitoring terminal / smart meter (equivalent to the smart power consumption monitoring and metering terminal in the above embodiment), a power supply switch monitoring terminal for power facilities (equivalent to the power supply switch monitoring terminal in the above embodiment), a regional coordination control device, and a cloud server (equivalent to the server in the above embodiment), the spare capacity of the regional coordination control device can be redistributed and fully optimized for use. Within the regional power supply capacity limit, the excess load demand of specific users is dynamically met, and the user load is guaranteed not to exceed their total capacity. This improves the utilization rate of power supply facility assets and enhances the user's power consumption experience.

[0088] Based on the above overall technical solution Figure 6 A detailed flowchart of the dynamic power consumption control and load adjustment method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, it includes:

[0089] Step S602: The user prepares to activate a large electrical facility with a heavy load.

[0090] Step S604: Before the user officially starts a large power facility with a heavy load, the user asks the smart power monitoring terminal / smart meter via the handheld APP whether the current capacity balance (which can be obtained by subtracting the total load from the current capacity limit) is sufficient. If the capacity balance is sufficient, proceed to step S606; if the capacity balance is insufficient, proceed to step S608.

[0091] In step S606, the electrical facilities can be put into use, and their power supply switches are given the corresponding tolerance (which can be indicated by indicator lights). The circuit breaker can be automatically closed via the APP or manually closed by prompting, or the smart electrical facilities can be directly controlled to be turned on.

[0092] In step S608, the electrical facility cannot be put into use, and its power supply switch tolerance is revoked (manual closing or forced opening of the electrical facility will immediately trip the circuit breaker). At this time, the mobile APP prompts that the capacity is insufficient and waiting for adjustment and expansion, and notifies the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter to request the allocation of adjustment quota from the regional coordination control device or directly from the cloud server (the cloud server collects and obtains the total load and tolerance data of the entire region in real time) for dynamic capacity expansion: adjusting and increasing the user's total capacity limit, up to the maximum permissible tolerance of the user's main switch line (i.e., adjustment tolerance).

[0093] In step S610, the regional coordination control device or cloud server calculates based on the real-time total load of the region and the current total capacity to determine whether a dynamic capacity increase quota can be allocated to the user. If yes, proceed to step S612; if no, proceed to step S614. The device then replies to the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter or mobile APP to ensure that the total load of the region does not exceed the current total capacity.

[0094] In step S612, after the user's dynamic capacity increase request is rejected, the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter maintains its original capacity limit, and the power facilities cannot be put into use. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the user's dynamic capacity increase request is rejected, the mobile terminal can also request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region.

[0095] 1) When the current capacity balance is insufficient, the mobile terminal automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server for capacity adjustment and expansion for the user sub-region in real time. That is, as long as the mobile terminal determines that the current capacity balance is insufficient for the load power of the electrical equipment, it automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or server in real time. That is, it determines in real time whether the current capacity balance is insufficient (the user's total load is already overloaded or approaching overload, or it will be overloaded once the electrical facilities are turned on), and automatically applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity adjustment without manual intervention.

[0096] 2) The mobile terminal prompts whether to apply, and upon receiving a confirmation instruction, the mobile terminal requests the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it is determined that the user needs to apply for capacity adjustment, the system prompts the user whether to apply for capacity. After manual intervention and confirmation, the system then applies to the regional coordination control device or cloud server for additional capacity.

[0097] 3) The user can manually retry requesting the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity of the user's sub-region through the mobile terminal. That is, if the application is rejected by the regional coordination control device or cloud server (such as when the remaining capacity of the region is insufficient to enable the power equipment at the current time), the user can manually retry the application at different times (or after turning off some power facilities) until the remaining capacity of the user or the region is sufficient and the application is accepted.

[0098] 4) The mobile terminal or smart electricity monitoring and metering terminal (or other execution entities, which are not limited in this embodiment of the invention) automatically retry in the first cycle to request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region. That is, when it can be determined in a certain scenario that the user needs to apply for capacity repeatedly (such as the user setting), the system replaces manual retry and performs automatic repeated application.

[0099] 5) The user can make an appointment for the time in advance through the mobile terminal, and when the appointment time arrives, request the regional coordination control device or server to adjust and increase the capacity for the user's sub-region, or when the appointment time arrives, obtain the capacity reserved for the user's sub-region to meet the capacity adjustment request. That is, the user can apply for capacity by making an appointment for the time. For example, the system can apply automatically at the agreed time, or the system can reserve capacity to meet the user's capacity application at the agreed time.

[0100] Step S614: After the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter receives the capacity increase adjustment from the regional coordination control device or server, it notifies the mobile APP that when the remaining capacity is sufficient, it updates the power supply switch tolerance of the relevant electricity facilities and prompts the equipment to be put into operation; or, for subsequent technical solutions, see Appendix Figure 6 It is not explicitly stated that after the mobile APP obtains the regional coordination control device or cloud server to adjust the capacity increase quota, it should first notify the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter to update the capacity limit and the power supply switch capacity of the relevant power application facilities, and then prompt the equipment to be put into use.

[0101] Step S616: Automatically close the circuit breaker via the APP / manually close the circuit breaker upon prompt, or directly control and turn on the smart electrical appliances.

[0102] When there are real-time communication conditions such as network / fieldbus between the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter, the power supply switch monitoring terminal of the power facility, and the regional coordination control device (i.e., the field communication conditions are good), direct real-time communication is given priority for adjustment and interaction. The regional coordination control device is used as the adjustment calculation and authorization device, and the user is prompted through the APP. When the direct communication conditions with the regional coordination control device are insufficient, indirect interaction can be carried out through the handheld APP or even cloud service. The cloud server can also be used as the adjustment calculation and authorization device. That is, the APP can also directly interact with the regional coordination control device or the cloud server to request capacity expansion. At the same time, the request and its result information are synchronously forwarded to the smart electricity monitoring terminal / smart meter.
