Abstract

In this paper, We implement a power-saving and efficient measures in buildings using the smart-meter. In order to save electric power energy, We propose an improved automatic power-factor controller(APFC) and demand control measures. This is achieved by controlling directly circuit breakers and the capacitor bank feeders in real time via a two-way smart-meter's ICT skills. Improved APFC is minimizing installation costs by series-parallel connecting heterologous capacitors to form a more diverse capacitor banking and controlling using the smart-meter. In order to suppress the demand power, We have designed a smart-meter with communication functions using Atmel's AVR465 and tested an operated lodging building for 24-hours. As a result, We made sure to always retained more than 95% power factor and did not occur over compensation.

본 논문에서는 스마트미터를 활용한 건축물의 전력에너지 절감 및 효율화 방안에 대하여 실험하였다. 전력에너지 절감을 위해 개선된 자동역률제어시스템(APFC)을 제안하고, 수요전력의 억제(Demand Control) 방안을 제시하였다. 이는 스마트미터의 ICT 기술을 통하여 실시간 양방향으로 콘덴서 뱅킹과 차단기를 직접 제어함으로써 이루어진다. 개선된 APFC는 콘덴서 뱅킹을 보다 다양화하기 위해 이종 용량의 콘덴서를 직병렬 혼합 결선하여 구성함으로써 구축 비용을 최소화 한다. 상기 기능을 위해 Atmel사의 AVR465를 이용하여 PLC 및 Zigbee 통신기능을 갖는 스마트미터를 설계하였다. 24시간 운영되는 숙박시설에 대하여 테스트한 결과 역률은 95%이상을 유지하였고, 과보상은 발생하지 않았음을 확인할 수 있었다.
