The present invention relates to an auxiliary power supply device of home appliances using a smart grid. The invention is connected to a power supply network which comprises: a measuring device that performs bidirectional communication with a power source and measures and displays power information in real time; and an energy management device that is connected with the measuring device and supplies electricity to home appliances on the basis of power information provided from the outside. Thus, the invention is charged through the power source having relatively inexpensive price information, and is selectively connected with the home appliances, so that the charged electricity may be used as an operation power supply. According to the invention, the home appliances can be used at a cheaper cost.
The present disclosure relates to an auxiliary power supply device of home appliances using a smart grid.
Generally, electricity is supplied to home appliances in the order of a power plant operated by a public or private company, a power transmission line, and a power distribution line.
That is, power is supplied not by a distributed structure but by a centralized structure. In order words, power is supplied through a radial structure expanding from the center to the periphery. This is not a customer-centered structure but a supplier-centered one-way structure.
Therefore, residential customers can get only limited information about prices of electricity from a power exchange. Furthermore, since electricity prices are practically fixed, it is difficult for customers to buy electricity at desired prices.
Also, a price difference of electricity supplied according to demands occurs in a power supply structure of the supplier-centered one-way structure. However, it is difficult to enable the customers to effectively utilize the price difference due to the limited power supply structure.
Thus, much research is being performed on smart grids to solve the above-mentioned problems and use energy efficiently.
A smart grid is a next-generation power and management system developed by applying information technology (IT) to the existing power grid for improving energy efficiency by realizing two-way and real-time information exchange between power providers and consumers.
In addition to unilateral power supply from a power supply source to a network to which home appliances are connected, two-way communication is necessary between the power supply source and the network to realize a smart grid for residential customers. In addition, new devices are necessary for such two-way communication.
Embodiments provide an auxiliary power supply device of home appliances using a smart grid which is connected to the home appliances to supply operation power to the home appliances and charges electricity to be supplied into the home appliances when the electricity has a relatively inexpensive price.
Embodiments also provide an auxiliary power supply device of home appliances using a smart grid which is connected to the plurality of home appliances to inform a charge completion state to the home appliances through communication therebetween, thereby allowing a user to use the charged power first.
In one embodiment, an auxiliary power supply device of home appliances using a smart grid is connected to a power supply network and charged through a power source having relatively inexpensive price information, and is selectively connected to the home appliances so that the charged electricity is used as an operation power source of the home appliances, wherein the power supply network includes: an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) bidirectionally communicating with a power supply source to measure and display power information in real time; and an energy management system (EMS) connected to the AMI to supply electricity to the home appliances on the basis of the power information provided from the outside.
According to the embodiment, the auxiliary power supply device which supplies the charged power as power for operating the home appliances is provided.
Also, the auxiliary power supply device may allows the user to confirm an electricity charge less than the uppermost electricity charge in the power management network including the EMS, thereby performing the charging. Thus, the electricity having a relatively inexpensive price may be charged and then supplied into the home appliances.
Also, in the auxiliary power supply device charged as described above, when the charging is completed, whether the auxiliary power supply device is usable is informed into the communicable home appliances through the EMS. Thus, the auxiliary power supply device that is a relatively inexpensive power supply source may be used.
When the charging is insufficient during the use of the auxiliary power supply device, this may be informed to the user. Thus, the user may replace the power source to more economically use the home appliances.

That is, when the auxiliary power supply device 200 is connected, the electricity provided from the auxiliary power supply device 200 may be used by the massage chair power management unit 684. Although not shown, when a power plug of the massage chair 600 is directly connected to the outlet 50, the massage chair power management unit 684 controls the electricity provided through the power supply network 10 to use the electricity as an operation power source for massage chair 600.
During the supply of the charged power into the massage chair 600, the auxiliary power supply device display unit 220 of the auxiliary power supply device 200 may display consumption of the charged electricity and a charge of the electricity.
Hereinafter, an effect of the auxiliary power supply device 200 connected the various home appliances 1 to supply charging power to the home appliances 1 will be described.
The auxiliary power supply device 200 according to an embodiment is connected to the power supply network 10 configured to receive electricity from the plurality of power sources, thereby distributing the electricity into the home appliances.
For this, the connecting plug 300 of the auxiliary power supply device 200 is fitted into the socket 52. When the connecting plug 300 is mounted, the EMS 30 and the auxiliary power supply device 200 communicate with each other through the plug communication unit 360.
That is, the auxiliary power supply device 200 may confirm a chargeable power supply source and a suppliable electricity charge through the EMS 30.
In the selection of the chargeable power source and the suppliable electricity charge, a power supply source having an electricity charge less than the uppermost suppliable electricity charge set by the power supply device control unit 250 is selected through the control input unit 222. When the selection is completed, the plug control unit 380 operates the switch driving unit 320 to turn the switch 320 on, thereby performing the charging.
Here, the uppermost suppliable electricity charge may be an electricity charge supplied from an electric power company in a late night time.
When the chargeable power supply source is confirmed through the above-described processes, the auxiliary power supply device 200 is charged from the power supply source.
During the changing, a change of the supplied electricity charge is periodically confirmed through the MES 30. When the supplied electricity charge is changed, the EMS 30 may confirm a relatively inexpensive electricity charge than the electricity charge confirmed after charging standby to charge the auxiliary power supply device 200 using the electricity having the relatively inexpensive electricity charge.
When the charging is completed, the auxiliary power supply device 200 informs charge completion information into the EMS 30 through the plug communication unit 360.
The EMS 30 receiving the charge completion information informs whether the charging of the auxiliary power supply device 200 is completed into only the home appliances 1 connected to the power management network 10.
Thus, the home appliances 1 connected to the power management network 10 to operate may confirm the transmitted information and thus confirm that the auxiliary power supply device 200 is usable. Thus, the user may release the connection of the power plug connected to the power management network 10 and connect the auxiliary power supply device 200 so as to use the electricity having the relatively inexpensive electricity charge.
When the auxiliary power supply device 200 is connected to the home appliances 1, the charging power stored in the charging unit 260 is supplied into the home appliances 1 to operate the home appliances 1. Here, the connection of the auxiliary power supply device 200 is maintained just when the use of the home appliances 1 is completed.
If the charging power is insufficient during the supply of the charged power into the home appliances 1, the auxiliary power supply device 200 transmits a message for informing replacement of the using power source into the home appliances 1 through the power supply device communication unit 270.
Accordingly, the user connects the power plug to the power management network 10 before the connection of the auxiliary power supply device 200 is released. Thus, the connection of the auxiliary power supply device 200 is released in a state where the power supply is maintained.
Also, the auxiliary power supply device 200 of which the connection is released may be connected to the power management network 10 again and charged. When the charging is completed, the above-described processes may be repeated to provide relatively inexpensive electricity into the home appliances 1.
In general, electricity supplied into homes may be provided at a low price during the late night time at which the number of consumers is relatively less. Also, in the smart grid, electricity may be produced using solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, and the like, except for the power supplied from the electric power company. The produced electricity may be relatively inexpensive than that of the electricity provided from the electric power company. Thus, the user may use the relatively inexpensive electricity.
The auxiliary power supply device may be connected to the home power management network including the EMS, and thus charged at a relatively inexpensive price. When the charging is completed, the charge completion state may be informed to the communicable home appliances through the power management network.
Also, the user which confirmed the charge completion information of the auxiliary power supply device transmitted into the home appliances may connect the auxiliary power supply device to the home appliances to utilize the electricity at a relatively inexpensive price.
Also, when the auxiliary power supply device is used, power losses may be reduced to develop related industries and reduce environmental pollution occurring when electricity is produced.
