[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms in this embodiment have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , a green electric energy intelligent control platform system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the system includes:

[0034] A sensing module, configured to collect real-time device information through a gateway device; wherein, the device information includes reading data of metering devices and operating states and environmental parameters of electrical devices; the gateway device includes an Internet of Things gateway and a collection control gateway;

[0035] A processing module, configured to generate corresponding control data according to the device information in combination with a preset control strategy;

[0036] The collection control gateway is configured to automatically adjust the start / stop and operating states of electrical devices based on the control data to achieve green energy conservation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the metering devices are exemplified by intelligent gas meters, water meters and electricity meters, and the electrical devices are exemplified by air conditioners, lights, sockets and street lamps, etc.;

[0038] When applied, collecting device information through the Internet of Things gateway is not limited to the reading data of traditional water, electricity and gas meters, and it also covers a wider range of device operating states and environmental parameters;

[0039] Intelligent water, electricity and gas meters can send accurate usage data to the central control system (i.e., the processing module) in real time or at regular intervals, which enables users and management parties to instantly understand the resource consumption situation and adjust usage habits accordingly to save energy;

[0040] For household internal devices such as air conditioners, indoor lights, sockets, etc., and public facilities such as street lamps, the Internet of Things gateway can also collect detailed information such as their switch states, operating times, operating states, etc.; based on these data, through preset control strategies, such as automatically adjusting the air conditioner temperature, adjusting the light switch according to time, turning on or off the socket power supply according to actual needs, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0041] That is, various intelligent devices continuously transmit operation data and status information to the central control system through specially designed IoT gateways, ensuring that managers can obtain comprehensive and accurate information in a timely manner and make quick responses and decisions based on this;

[0042] For air conditioning equipment, its gateway will regularly send detailed operation data, including but not limited to the on / off state, current operation mode (such as cooling, heating, dehumidification, etc.), wind speed setting, indoor temperature reading, and set target temperature; this information not only helps users understand the current environmental conditions and energy consumption, but also supports the remote control function.

[0043] The indoor IoT gateway is responsible for collecting and forwarding status information about lights and sockets; it can inform the central system of the on / off state of each lamp, and for electrical appliances connected to smart sockets, the gateway can provide the power switch status information.

[0044] The role of the street lamp gateway is to monitor the lighting facilities in public areas. It can send the operation status of each street lamp, whether it is working properly; such real-time monitoring helps to detect and repair faults in a timely manner.

[0045] As an important part of the subsequent energy management system, the smart meter will regularly report detailed electricity consumption data to the system; such as instantaneous power, cumulative electricity consumption, peak usage time, etc.; this provides users with a transparent view of energy consumption;

[0046] And the smart meter also supports remote meter reading, energy consumption analysis and abnormal alarm by real-time monitoring and recording electricity consumption data, helping users and managers achieve more accurate energy management and cost control. The system can automatically collect and transmit detailed electricity consumption information, including key parameters such as current, voltage, and power. Users can view energy consumption reports and visualization charts at any time through the smartphone application or web terminal, identify high-energy-consuming periods and equipment, and optimize electricity consumption behavior. In addition, the system can also send alarms in a timely manner when abnormal electricity consumption is detected, ensuring electricity safety and preventing unnecessary energy waste.

[0047] During implementation, in view of the situation that there are still non-smart meters in the actual use scenarios, on the basis of the above technical solutions, the system further includes an image acquisition device, and the image acquisition device is used to read the measurement data of non-smart meters in the way of image recognition.

[0048] Furthermore, the system also supports remotely monitoring and controlling the electrical equipment through the mobile terminal or the web terminal to improve management efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, users can remotely control the electrical equipment in the system through a PC or a mobile device (such as a smartphone, a tablet computer), enjoying a high degree of convenience and flexibility;

[0050] Air - conditioner control: Users can easily control the on - off state of the air - conditioner, select operation modes (such as cooling, heating, dehumidifying, etc.), adjust the wind speed, and set the target temperature through the provided system interface; this remote control ability allows users to adjust the indoor environment in advance to ensure ideal comfort when they get home.

[0051] Indoor lighting control: Whether it is a single lamp or the lighting system of the entire room, users can remotely control its on - off state.

[0052] Indoor socket power supply control: For electrical appliances connected to smart sockets, users can remotely control the power switch of the sockets to manage the power - on and power - off of these appliances; this function is particularly applicable to devices that need to be turned on or off regularly, or those electronic devices that may still consume standby power when not in use.

[0053] Outdoor street - lamp control: For street - lamps in public areas or outside private residences, users also have the ability to remotely control their on - off; this not only helps to adjust the lighting time according to actual needs, effectively saving energy and enhancing safety.

[0054] Furthermore, on the basis of the above - mentioned technical solution, the system further includes an energy - consumption module, which is used to collect and process data from metering devices, and provide detailed energy - consumption reports and visual charts to help users identify energy - saving opportunities and optimize energy - use efficiency.

[0055] By collecting electricity - consumption data, providing detailed energy - consumption reports and visual charts, it helps users identify energy - saving opportunities and optimize energy - use efficiency; automatically collects key parameters such as current, voltage, and power, generates daily, weekly, and monthly energy - consumption reports, and displays them in an intuitive chart form; users can understand the energy - consumption situations of each time period and different devices through these reports and charts, discover high - energy - consumption time periods and inefficient devices; thus taking targeted energy - saving measures. That is, energy - consumption control, real - time device monitoring, and energy - consumption statistics in the attached drawings. The system also provides energy - consumption trend analysis and anomaly - detection functions to help users timely discover and solve potential energy - waste problems, further improving the refinement level of overall energy management.

[0056] In this embodiment, the acquisition control gateway includes a smart air - conditioner gateway, smart switches, smart sockets, and a street - lamp gateway; the control strategies at least include timing control and policy control.

[0057] Automatically adjusts the start - stop and operation states of electrical devices through the control strategies, and optimizes energy distribution to achieve the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and cost reduction; dynamically adjusts the working parameters of devices such as air - conditioners and lighting to ensure maximum energy conservation while meeting requirements.

[0058] The intelligent air conditioner gateway is used for controlling the electricity consumption of air conditioners; through the intelligent air conditioner gateway, the use of air conditioners can be controlled and sensed, including sensing the operating status of air conditioners, and controlling the temperature, mode, and wind speed of air conditioners.

[0059] The intelligent switch is used for controlling indoor lighting;

[0060] The intelligent socket is used for controlling indoor sockets;

[0061] The street lamp gateway is used for controlling outdoor street lamps.

[0062] When applied, for the electricity consumption control of air conditioners: through the integrated intelligent air conditioner gateway, comprehensive control and status sensing of air conditioner equipment are achieved; the system can monitor the operating status of air conditioners in real time, including temperature settings, operating modes (such as cooling, heating, dehumidification, etc.), and wind speed levels, and automatically adjust according to actual needs. Through preset strategies, the system can intelligently adjust air conditioner parameters to ensure indoor comfort while maximizing energy efficiency; the system also supports remote control functions, allowing users to adjust air conditioner settings, view energy consumption data, and receive abnormal alarm notifications anytime and anywhere through a smartphone application or web browser.

[0063] For indoor lighting control: remote control and timing settings of lights are achieved through intelligent switches to achieve efficient and energy-saving lighting management; the system supports users to remotely control the turning on and off of lights anytime and anywhere through a smartphone application or web browser, greatly improving the convenience of use; the system supports users to set fixed on and off times for lights, for example, automatically turning on classroom lights before class and turning them off after class, thus avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0064] For indoor socket control: through intelligent sockets combined with remote control and timing setting functions, efficient power management of indoor electrical appliances is achieved to improve energy use efficiency and ensure safety. The system supports users to remotely control the on / off status of sockets through a smartphone application or web browser. Users can set specific time periods to automatically turn on or off electrical appliances connected to intelligent sockets, for example, automatically cutting off the power of office equipment during unattended periods, thus avoiding standby energy consumption and preventing safety hazards caused by long-term power-on.

[0065] For outdoor street lamp control: remote control is achieved through an intelligent gateway and single-lamp controller, automatically adjusting the brightness of street lamps and supporting timed switching to achieve efficient and energy-saving outdoor lighting management. The system can automatically adjust the brightness of street lamps according to natural light conditions to ensure sufficient lighting at night or in low-light conditions, while reducing brightness or turning off street lamps during the day or in sufficient light conditions, thus saving energy. Users can also remotely control the on / off status of street lamps through a smartphone application or web browser and set fixed on and off times, for example, automatically turning on street lamps after sunset and turning them off before sunrise to further optimize energy use.

[0066] In this embodiment, the timing control is used to set the automatic power-off time of the electrical equipment according to the work schedule. The system will automatically send a shutdown command to the air conditioner, indoor lights, indoor sockets and street lights at the preset time point to turn off these electrical appliances and stop their operation.

[0067] The work schedule can be customized based on different application scenarios; this function simplifies the management process, reduces the need for manual intervention, effectively achieves energy conservation and emission reduction, improves safety, and avoids unnecessary energy waste and potential safety risks.

[0068] The policy control is used to limit the months in which the electrical equipment operates according to the policy settings, as well as the operating mode and temperature in the corresponding months. When controlling the electrical equipment through other devices, when the usage policy of the electrical equipment is exceeded, the system will automatically adjust the operating state of the electrical equipment according to the policy.

[0069] Taking the air conditioner as an example of the electrical equipment, the administrator can set policies to limit the months in which the air conditioner operates, as well as the operating mode and temperature in the corresponding months. When using the air conditioner through remote control or panel, when the usage policy of the air conditioner is exceeded, the system will automatically adjust the operating state of the air conditioner according to the policy;

[0070] The administrator can set the usage period of the air conditioner in the policy settings, such as setting that it can be used in July, August, and September and only the cooling mode can be turned on; it can be used in November, December, and January and only the heating mode can be turned on. When the air conditioner user uses the air conditioner outside the specified months, the system will automatically send a shutdown command to turn off the air conditioner;

[0071] In the cooling mode, the administrator can set the temperature limit in the cooling mode of the air conditioner controller to 26 degrees. When the air conditioner user sets the set temperature to 22 degrees when using the air conditioner, since the lower limit value of the cooling temperature set by the administrator is 26 degrees, the system will automatically adjust the set temperature of 22 degrees set by the user to the energy-saving temperature of 26 degrees;

[0072] In the heating mode, the administrator can set the temperature limit in the heating mode of the air conditioner controller to 26 degrees. When the air conditioner user sets the set temperature to 29 degrees when using the air conditioner, since the upper limit value of the heating temperature set by the administrator is 26 degrees, the system will automatically adjust the set temperature of 29 degrees set by the user to the energy-saving temperature of 26 degrees.

[0073] The above solution optimizes energy usage through intelligent control, significantly reducing power consumption, managing electrical equipment in a refined manner, avoiding unnecessary power waste, and reducing electricity bills. It also supports remote monitoring and control via a mobile app or web interface, improving management efficiency. Additionally, it automatically adjusts the device status based on preset control strategies, reducing manual intervention. Meanwhile, it provides detailed energy consumption reports and trend analyses to help managers make more informed decisions. These advantages together constitute an efficient, intelligent, and sustainable energy management system, providing a comprehensive energy solution for large building complexes.
