SHARED AREA SMART POWER STRIP SYSTEM CAPABLE OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND CONSUMPTION RECORDING.

Abstract

This invention relates to an authentication-enabled smart plug system that enables the measurement and recording of electrical energy consumed in common areas such as residences, housing complexes, and workplaces on a per-person basis. The system allows users to activate the power outlet using their ID card or mobile application, automatically measures and records energy consumption, and reports this data to the management system. This system eliminates the disadvantages of existing charging networks or individual power outlet installations, such as high costs, infrastructure requirements, and high operating expenses. Instead of directly selling electricity, this system only records consumption data; fees are distributed fairly through dues or salary deductions. The system consists of components such as a touchscreen, ID / card reader, control device, energy meter, relay, and communication module. The control device performs user authentication, measures energy consumption, manages the power outlet, and transmits consumption data to the cloud system. This invention offers fair and transparent electricity sharing in apartments, residential complexes, and workplaces thanks to its low-cost installation and easy integration. It is also suitable for mass production and widespread application.

Description

1 TARIFF 5 SHARED AREA CAPABLE OF RECORDING ENERGY CONSUMPTION THROUGH ENERGY MANAGEMENT. SMART POWER SYSTEM Technical Area This invention is suitable for 10 common areas such as residential complexes, apartment buildings, workplaces and similar places. Designed for monitoring and managing electrical energy on a user basis, identity verification, monitoring of installed electrical power restrictions, and recording energy consumption. It relates to a smart plug system with specific features. The system is located where the smart plug is installed. At this point, users must present their personal cards (workplace ID card, Turkish ID card, etc.) or enabling the power outlet via mobile applications, user-related energy 15 It enables the measurement and recording of consumption. In this way, electricity consumption is fair. This is reported on a user-by-user basis and managed by the administration of the area where the power outlet is installed. It is distributed. State of the Art 20 Electricity in common areas such as residential complexes, apartment buildings, and workplaces. energy, directly from the supplier and fairly on a user-by-user basis. Managing these issues has long been a problem awaiting a solution. Vacuum cleaners in common areas, The 25% spent on using energy-consuming devices such as pressure washers and electric vehicle chargers. The energy needs to be reflected to the relevant person. Especially with electric vehicles. With its widespread adoption, energy consumption from shared spaces will be shifted towards individuals. And it is becoming increasingly important that this information is conveyed transparently. In response to this need, two main approaches stand out in current practice: 30 Commercial solution: Site or workplace management, commercial charging for electric vehicles. They contract with a company that builds the station to install charging equipment in the shared area. Users verify their identity and make purchases via the mobile application; consumption records are kept. It is collected and a fee of 35 is paid directly to the company that sets up the toll station, based on the price determined by the company. It is paid. 2 Individual solution: Users who need their own parking spaces where they reside. 5 In line with this, they are installing AC wall-mounted units. These installations are for individual electrical systems. It connects to a subscription and generally requires long-distance cable infrastructure. Each user, It runs a separate cable from its meter to the parking space. These solutions are priced at 10 due to field equipment, installation fees, software, and commercial usage costs. It is not economical. Also, individual parking spaces are not available for every user. These solutions are not applicable everywhere. For these reasons, the installed power in common areas It can keep things under control, recognize user identity, and measure and record energy consumption. And it's practical, low-cost, and easy to report this information to management systems. Practical solutions are needed. 15 Technical Problems That the Invention Aims to Solve Commercial solutions require high-cost equipment, software integration, and continuous network connectivity. And due to payments to the operator, the unit cost of energy is high. Individual 20 The solutions involve each user having a unit connected to their own meter or parking space. This requires, which increases the infrastructure load and affects all users (site, workplace or This is not feasible (due to the fact that not every user in the apartment building has a fixed parking space). This invention offers a low-cost, easy solution to the technical and administrative problems mentioned above. It offers a viable solution. The system can be implemented by any commercial operator or individual. making existing common area power outlets smart without the need for installations or It enables the installation of smart plugs in common areas. The user presents their personal identification card. or activate the socket using the mobile application; energy consumption is automatically controlled. It is measured and recorded as personal use expense. At the end of the month, salaries at workplaces are 30. The deduction is collected as a maintenance fee in residential complexes and directly by the management. payments are made to energy companies. In addition, the system also depends on the installed power limit of the building where it is installed. By monitoring the situation, it manages smart plugs to ensure that total consumption does not exceed the limit. This is also suitable for older homes or... They can also be installed and used in workplaces without any cable or infrastructure changes. It provides. 35 3 Thanks to this: 5 • Installation costs decrease, • The need for individual infrastructure investment is eliminated, • Electricity consumption data is recorded and used for calculations or salaries without any electricity sales. may be reflected in the deduction, • It protects the infrastructure by preventing overloading of the installed power, reducing the fire risk of the infrastructure by 10. It eliminates and prevents fuse blowing due to overload, • Administrations can provide fair energy consumption allocation and services based on user numbers.
