Description

[0001] The invention relates to an energy management system for a light advertising system with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an energy management arrangement with the energy management system.

[0002] Illuminated advertising signs are typically designed as a combination of illuminated letters representing a business name, such as "pharmacy," or a brand name. These signs are often backlit, ensuring good visibility both day and night. Illuminated advertising signs are usually powered by electricity, which can be switched on and off as needed.

[0003] It is an object of the present invention to propose an energy management system for a light advertising system which has improved adaptability.

[0004] Document US 2021 / 0 313 927 A1 discloses a solar-powered display assembly, as well as systems and methods for its use. An electronic display unit, consisting of an electronic display within a housing, is mounted on a structural frame at a position elevated above a ground surface. A solar energy harvesting device is attached to the structural frame at a position above and spaced apart from the electronic display unit, and is electrically connected to the electronic display unit. An energy storage device is located below the electronic display unit. The space required for the solar energy harvesting device is less than the space required for the electronic display unit and the energy storage device combined.

[0005] Document US 9 121 391 B1 discloses a system for generating solar power and advertising revenue, comprising a solar power system with a support frame, several solar power modules each with a photovoltaic surface, illuminated display modules with a media-visible surface, energy storage batteries, an inverter, and a programmable processor unit.

[0006] The publication DE 10 2010 042 298 A1 concerns inverters for a building-integrated photovoltaic system for controlling the energy consumption of electrical consumers in a building, with a network interface via which the inverter can be coupled to at least one electrical consumer provided within the building by means of a first data network of the building, with a weather data device which is designed to determine and provide weather data, with a control device which is designed to control at least one consumer provided in the building, in particular a household appliance, depending on the determined weather data.

[0007] The publication DE 10 2017 203 249 A1 concerns an energy management procedure for an energy system in a building. The energy system comprises a large number of non-controllable energy consumers and at least one controllable energy consumer.

[0008] Publication US 2015 / 0 130 351 A1 relates to an LED arrangement used for in-house use in the context of the disclosure.

[0009] Document US 2010 / 0 269 383 A1 discloses a device and method that enable the management of solar energy for an LED lighting device, such as a street sign. This allows for monitoring the energy from an energy storage device and dynamically adjusting the energy supplied to the LED device to conserve energy or increase it as needed. A controller can manage the energy based on pre-programmed time periods, environmental factors, and solar availability. Historical tracking of available power can provide a basis for calculating future power output.

[0010] This problem is solved by an energy management system with the features of claim 1 and by an energy management arrangement with the features of claim 7. Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims, the following description, and the accompanying figures.

[0011] The invention relates to an energy management system suitable and / or designed for use in illuminated advertising displays. The energy management system is specifically designed as an electronic and / or electrical circuit in combination with a digital data processing unit. The function of the energy management system is to supply the illuminated advertising display with electrical power from the energy management system so that it can be illuminated.

[0012] Illuminated advertising is specifically designed as an illuminated and / or illuminateable advertising device. For example, the advertising device is illuminated and / or illuminated by a lighting system. Illuminated advertising can, for instance, comprise multiple illuminated letters and / or symbols. Examples of illuminated advertising include backlit or backlit (trademark) signs or lettering.

[0013] The energy management system has a power output to supply the illuminated advertising system with the required output power. Specifically, the illuminated advertising system is equipped with LED lighting, and the power output and / or output power is adapted to the LED lighting.

[0014] In particular, the power output provides a low voltage, especially 12 V or 24 V. Preferably, the power output is designed as a dimmable power output, with the dimming being achieved via PWM dimming (pulse width modulation). In particular, the output power provides the supply power for the LED lighting.

[0015] The energy management system includes a power supply module for providing the output power at the power output. This power supply module can be configured, in particular, as a voltage converter that transforms an input voltage to the required output voltage. Specifically, the power supply module is designed to implement brightness control of the LED lighting in the illuminated advertising system via PWM dimming.

[0016] Furthermore, the energy management system includes a control module for monitoring the power supply module. Specifically, the control module controls and / or regulates the power supply module. In particular, the control module activates and / or deactivates, including dimming, the output power at the power output. Specifically, the control module can also control the PWM dimming and thus the brightness control within the power supply module.

[0017] Within the scope of the invention, it is proposed that the control module be configured programmatically and / or circuit-wise to implement at least one programmable operating sequence for controlling the power supply module to provide the output power. The output power is subsequently used to control the brightness of the illuminated advertising system. The control module thus uses a programmable, in particular digitally coded, operating sequence to control the power supply module. The control module controls the power supply module such that the provision of the output power, in particular the brightness, is implemented according to the programmable operating sequence.

[0018] An advantage of the invention is that, thanks to the programmable operating sequence, the energy management system can supply the illuminated advertising system with the required output power even in more complex lighting scenarios and / or sequences, so that the illuminated advertising system can be adapted to diverse user needs.

[0019] According to the invention, the programmable operating sequence defines the provision of output power as a function of ambient brightness, particularly in the area and / or surroundings of the illuminated advertising system. For example, the dimming level of the output power as a function of ambient brightness can be defined by the programmable operating sequence, e.g., in a lookup table. The energy management system can optionally determine or at least estimate the ambient brightness using its own brightness sensor, a sensor interface for acquiring brightness data from an external sensor, and / or in a simple manner depending on the time of day and / or season. For example, it can be provided that at the onset of twilight, the illuminated advertising system is supplied with 100% output power and / or undimmed, while at 100% darkness and / or at night, for example...Only 10% - 50% of the output power is provided as dimmed output power, since the human observer does not want to perceive brightly radiating advertising objects, but a dimmed output power is sufficient for visual perception.

[0020] According to the invention, the programmable operating sequence defines the provision of output power depending on a schedule for activating the illuminated advertising system. Optionally, the dimming level can also be set depending on the schedule, as described above. For example, it can be provided that the illuminated advertising system is completely deactivated at certain times of day, such as during the day. Alternatively or additionally, the illuminated advertising system is set to 100% output power during the day to ensure good visibility. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the illuminated advertising system is deactivated at night, for example, after midnight, to save energy costs.

[0021] In a preferred configuration, the schedule includes target values ​​for the output power. These target values ​​can also be defined as target ranges. The target values ​​can be absolute (such as 30% output power, 40% output power, 50% output power, etc.) or relative to the ambient brightness. This allows the output power to be set in the schedule based on the measured or estimated ambient brightness. This further enhances the adaptability of the energy management system.

[0022] According to the invention, the energy management system has a green energy interface for accepting renewable energy as input power. Renewable energy is understood to mean, in particular, energy from a wind turbine, a photovoltaic system, or their intermediate storage.

[0023] According to the invention, the programmable operating sequence defines the provision of output power depending on the current and / or a predicted input power of the green energy interface. A predicted input power is understood to be an estimate of the input power in the future. In other words, the output power is adapted to the input power supplied by the green energy interface. In this way, it is possible to control how the energy management system adapts to the supply of renewable energies.

[0024] According to the invention, the green energy interface has a battery input for connecting a battery. The battery, in particular, serves as an intermediate storage device for a renewable energy generation system, such as a photovoltaic system or a wind turbine. The battery input of the control module is configured to detect the battery's state of charge. For example, the battery's state of charge is provided via the battery input or can be read from it. The programmable operating sequence implements the provision of output power depending on the battery's state of charge. The predicted input power is an estimate of the battery's discharge, taking into account any potential

[0025] Battery charging. The state of charge thus forms the basis for the current and / or a predicted input power of the green energy interface. In this way, the energy management system can provide the output power based on the temporarily stored renewable energy.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment or alternative of the invention, the green energy interface has a system input for connecting a renewable energy generation system, in particular a photovoltaic system. Specifically, the green energy interface includes an internal MPTT charge controller, the MPTT charge controller being configured to charge the battery via the battery input. The programmable operating sequence can define the provision of output power as a function of the current and / or predicted input power of the renewable energy generation system, which is part of the current and / or predicted input power of the green energy interface. In the case of a photovoltaic system, the predicted input power of the renewable energy generation system can be estimated based on the daylight hours.

[0027] Alternatively, the system input can be configured only as a data input, whereby a possible change in the battery's state of charge, as previously described, can be estimated and / or predicted via the data input based on the system's performance for generating renewable energy.

[0028] In the invention, the programmable operating sequence defines an energy-saving mode as an operating mode. In this energy-saving mode, the output power is dimmed according to the schedule, the ambient brightness, and the current and / or predicted input power of the green energy interface, as determined by the control module. The input power of the green energy interface thus represents the available energy, which can be distributed according to the schedule and the ambient brightness. The control module is designed to adjust the output power in energy-saving mode so that the illuminated advertising system is powered exclusively by the input power of the green energy interface within the specified schedule.For example, the energy management system can be designed as a self-sufficient energy management system that receives only the input power from the green energy interface.

[0029] In the invention, the energy management system has a mains power input for supplying power from the mains. The programmable operating sequence can define a power mode as the operating mode, whereby the control module implements the output power level according to the programmable operating sequence and switches to the mains power as needed. Preferably, the input power of the green energy interface is used initially, and subsequently, if necessary, particularly when the input power of the green energy interface is exhausted, the system switches to the mains power. This allows the energy management system to be operated largely with renewable energy, but to switch to the mains power if necessary.

[0030] According to the invention, this energy management system includes a protocol module for logging the output power as consumption data of the illuminated advertising system. In particular, the input power and its temporal profile are also logged when logging the output power. It is especially preferred that the system also logs whether, and optionally from which source, the input power originates from the green energy interface or is drawn from the grid supply input. This allows the extent to which the energy management system supplies the illuminated advertising system with renewable energy. Optionally, the ambient brightness and other operating data are also logged.

[0031] The background to this is that it cannot be ruled out that legal regulations will require proof of whether illuminated advertising systems are powered by renewable energy. It is possible that in the future only illuminated advertising systems based on renewable energy will be permitted. Because the protocol module logs the output power and / or the input power, especially the source of the input power, proof can be provided that the illuminated advertising system was operated with renewable energy in accordance with any future legal regulations.

[0032] It is particularly preferred that the energy management system includes a state module configured to reference the illuminated advertising system and record reference values ​​as state values. In particular, PWM dimming with different dimming levels can be performed at the power output, and the current drawn during this process can be logged as state values. In this way, the energy management system can be connected to any illuminated advertising system and reference itself.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the state module is configured to monitor the state values. For example, the state module constantly compares whether the current draw corresponds to the state values ​​during percentage dimming. If the current deviates, a malfunction, particularly damage to the illuminated advertising system, can be assumed. For example, if part of the LED lighting fails, the current flow will decrease. The state module can be configured to issue a warning message in the event of damage.

[0034] It is particularly preferred that the energy management system is designed as, or includes, an energy management box. Specifically, the energy management box is implemented as a self-contained or enclosed unit, such as a control box. For example, the energy management box includes a power output, an interface for ambient light, and / or a green energy interface. By designing the energy management system as an energy management box, it can be easily connected to existing illuminated advertising systems. This allows for the modernization of existing illuminated advertising systems.

[0035] The energy management system can be configured solely as the energy management box. Alternatively, it can include the energy management box and additionally the battery and / or the renewable energy generation system, in particular the photovoltaic system and / or the wind turbine.

[0036] Optionally, the energy management system includes an operating unit, which can be, for example, a mobile phone, handheld device, etc., with an app. The programmable operating sequence can be configured via this operating unit. In particular, warning messages and other operating instructions can be output to the operating unit. For example, the log module's data can also be output via the operating unit.

[0037] A further aspect of the invention relates to an energy management arrangement with at least one energy management system as previously described or according to one of the preceding claims. The energy management arrangement comprises at least one server device, wherein the server device can, for example, be configured as a cloud.

[0038] The energy management system includes a planning module configured to plan the programmable operating sequence and / or the scope of the protocol for the protocol module. The planning module can be located, in particular, within the energy management system, specifically in the energy management box, on the operator panel, and / or on the server.

[0039] The planning module allows the energy management system to be adapted to current and future operational requirements and / or logging needs. In particular, operational processes and / or logging can be adjusted to comply with legal regulations.

[0040] It is preferred that the planning module be designed to plan the programmable operational sequence and / or the scope of the protocol based on a predefined set of rules with boundary conditions. This set of rules may, in particular, include legal requirements. It may be stipulated that only operational sequences that comply with the predefined set of rules and thus with the legal requirements can be planned.

[0041] Further features, advantages, and effects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and the accompanying figure. This figure shows: Fig. 1 a block diagram of an energy management arrangement as an embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 a programmable or programmed operating sequence for the energy management arrangement; Fig. 3 a protocol of the protocol module of the energy management arrangement.

[0042] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic block diagram of an energy management arrangement 1 as an embodiment of the invention. The energy management arrangement 1 comprises an energy management system 2, wherein the energy management system 2 is configured to provide an output power for a lighted advertising display 3. Optionally, the lighted advertising display 3 forms a component of the energy management system 2.

[0043] The illuminated advertising system 3 is an advertising device with a lighting unit. The lighting unit comprises one or more LED lights. For example, the LED lights can be arranged in different LED strings.

[0044] The energy management system 2 comprises an energy management box 4, which is designed, for example, as a switch box. Alternatively, the energy management system 2 can also have the components described below in a different design.

[0045] The energy management system 2, and in particular the energy management box 4, has a power output 5 through which the output power from the energy management system 2 is transferred to the illuminated advertising system 3. The output power is already adapted to the LED lighting, so that the output power is delivered at a low voltage such as 12 V or 24 V. It is possible for the output power to be dimmed via PWM dimming. PWM dimming involves pulse-width modulation of the output power, which can range from 0% (no output power) to 100% (continuous output power). PWM dimming makes it possible to change the level of output power and thus dim the LED lighting of the illuminated advertising system 3, i.e., to change its brightness.

[0046] The energy management system 2, and in particular the energy management box 4, includes a power supply module 6, which provides the output power at the power output 5. Specifically, the power supply module 6 is designed as a voltage converter. The power supply module 6 implements PWM dimming.

[0047] The energy management system 2, and in particular the energy management box 4, has a control module 7, which is configured to control, in particular to regulate and / or control, the supply module 6. The control module 7 implements this control via a programmable operating sequence 25. The programmable operating sequence 25 is therefore digital and can be programmed, in particular created and / or modified, via a planning module 8.

[0048] The energy management system 2, and in particular the energy management box 4, has a green energy interface 9, which is configured to receive renewable energy as input power for the supply module 6. The green energy interface 9, for example, has a battery input 10 for connecting a battery 11, which is configured as an intermediate storage device for renewable energy.

[0049] Optionally, the Green Energy Interface 9 can have a system input 12 for data or power connection of a system 13 for generating renewable energy, such as a photovoltaic system. In this configuration, the system 13 can charge the battery 11 independently of the Green Energy Interface 9, and the system input 12 can function solely as a data input. Alternatively, the system input 11 can be configured as a power input, with the Green Energy Interface 9 optionally directing the power from the system 13 to the battery 11 via the battery input 10 for charging the battery 11, or providing this power as input for the supply module 6. Thus, the Green Energy Interface 9 provides input power from renewable energy sources to the supply module 6.Instead of or in addition to a photovoltaic system, a wind turbine or another system for generating renewable energy can also be used.

[0050] Optionally, the energy management system 2, and in particular the energy management box 4, has a mains supply input 14 for connecting a mains supply, whereby input power for the supply module 6 can be provided via the mains supply input 14. The mains supply can, for example, provide standard 220 V AC voltage.

[0051] The energy management system 2 and in particular the energy management box 4 has a protocol module 15, wherein the protocol module 15 is designed to log the output power as consumption data of the illuminated advertising system 3 and / or the input power of the green energy interface 9 and / or the grid supply input 14.

[0052] The energy management system 2 and in particular the energy management box 4 has a data interface 16 which is connected and / or connectable to, for example, the Internet as network 17 or another wireless or wired network.

[0053] The energy management arrangement 1 optionally includes an operating unit 18, which is designed, for example, as a mobile phone, smartphone, handheld device, etc., or as another client, and is connected to the data interface 16 via the network 17.

[0054] Furthermore, the energy management arrangement 1 includes a server unit 19, which is connected to the data interface 16 via the network 17. The server unit 19 can also be implemented virtually or physically in the cloud. The protocol module 15 and / or the planning module 8 can alternatively be located in the operating unit 18 or in the server unit 19, instead of in the energy management system 2 and, in particular, in the energy management box 4.

[0055] Furthermore, the energy management system 2 and in particular the energy management box 4 can have a human-machine interface 20 which is connected to an input unit 21, such as a computer or control panel, in order to operate the energy management system 2 and in particular the energy management box 4 directly via a wired connection.

[0056] The energy management system 2 has a status module 27 which, upon commissioning of the energy management system 2 with the illuminated advertising system 3, records status values ​​and stores them as reference values. Furthermore, the status module 27 is designed to monitor the status values ​​and, in the event of a deviation, to issue a warning message to the server unit 19 or the operating unit 18.

[0057] The energy management system 2, in particular the energy management box 4, has a sensor input 23 which is connected to a brightness sensor 24, wherein the brightness sensor 24 detects the ambient brightness from the illuminated advertising system 3 and provides it to the control module 7.

[0058] In planning module 8, the programmable operating sequence 25 is created and / or modified, which is subsequently used by control module 7 to control supply module 6. Planning module 8 is operated via input unit 21, operating unit 18, or server unit 19. Furthermore, the scope of the protocol for protocol module 15 is defined in planning module 8.

[0059] The programmable operating sequence 25 can – as shown schematically in the Fig. Figure 2 shows a schedule comprising 22. The schedule shown has days of the week (1-7) in the rows and hours of the day (1-24) in the columns. Other time divisions are possible.

[0060] In schedule 22, a desired output power, specifically defined as the brightness H of the illuminated advertising system 3, is entered for each time period. It may be stipulated that the output power or brightness H is entered as an absolute target value. For example, PWM dimming between 0% and 100% is entered as the output power or brightness H.

[0061] Alternatively, the output power or brightness H can be entered as a relative setpoint depending on the ambient brightness of the illuminated advertising system 3. For example, a relative setpoint can be entered, which is then multiplied by the control module 7 with the reciprocal of the ambient brightness to calculate the dimming level for the output power and thus for the brightness H as a function of the ambient brightness. Other calculation methods for determining the dimming of the output power as a function of the relative setpoint and the ambient brightness are possible.

[0062] Furthermore, an operating mode M can be entered into the schedule, which determines how the schedule 22 is implemented. The schedule 22 with the entered parameters constitutes an exemplary implementation of the programmed and thereby programmed operating sequence 25.

[0063] For example, in the programmable operating sequence 25, an energy-saving mode can be entered as operating mode M. The energy-saving mode is implemented by the control module 7 such that the entered output power or brightness H is converted depending on the availability of input power from the Green Energy interface 9. Here, the control module 7 implements an availability strategy so that, depending on the availability strategy, the entered brightness H is converted as effectively as possible with the available input power of the Green Energy interface 9 according to the schedule 22. For example, the entered brightness H can be deviated from if, during the implementation of the availability strategy, it is detected that the entered brightness cannot be converted with the available input power from the Green Energy interface 9.The temporal profile of the available input power can be predicted, for example, by modeling the further development of the state of charge of battery 11, the output of the photovoltaic system 13, and the planned consumption of the illuminated advertising system 3. In energy-saving mode, the energy management system 2 can operate autonomously from a grid supply and / or exclusively using renewable energies.

[0064] Alternatively, a power mode can be entered as operating mode M, whereby, for example, the control module 7 uses the available input power of the Green Energy interface 9 for as long as possible and switches to the input power of the grid supply input 14 when this input power is exhausted. In this way, the renewable energies from the Green Energy interface 9 are used to the greatest extent possible and only subsequently switched to the grid supply.

[0065] The Fig.Figure 3 schematically shows protocol 26 of protocol module 15. Protocol 26 is structured analogously to operating sequence 25. Protocol 26 records, with time resolution, the use of green energy G from the Green Energy Interface 9 and conventional energy N from the grid supply via the grid supply input 14, including the quantity of energy used and, if applicable, the source of the energy used. In this way, protocol 26 contains all the information regarding the extent to which the illuminated advertising system 3 was supplied with renewable energy.

[0066] Planning module 8 allows both the programmable operating sequence 25 and the protocol 26 to be adapted to legal requirements. These legal requirements can be provided to planning module 8 as a rule set, for example, via server setup 19 or other data channels, whereupon planning module 8 adapts the programmable operating sequence 25 and / or the protocol 26 to the legal requirements.

[0067] This ensures that the illuminated advertising system 3 can be easily adjusted in accordance with legal requirements regarding its duration, brightness, and the energy used (renewable or conventional). Furthermore, compliance with the legal requirements can be demonstrated via the adaptable protocol 26.

[0068] With a view to retrofitting, it is conceivable that within an energy management system 2 several energy management boxes 4 can be virtually coupled in order to supply the illuminated advertising system 3 with corresponding output power in the same way in compliance with the legal requirements.
