The home gateway, an equipment which works as an gateway for ubiquitous home network, relays all functions of a home network. The home gateway must always be connected in order to provide seamless services. However it gives unfavorable power consumption. Therefore the needs for working in maximum power saving mode while there is no data traffic and for invoking to the normal function when it is necessary. In this paper we survey the technical papers and the standards documents and provide an overview of power saving mode in the home gateway.

본 논문에서는 전기전자 기기가 외부전원에 연결된 상태에서 그 주 기능을 수행하지 않거나 내부 혹은 외부로 부터 주 기능 수행을 위한 명령을 기다리고 있는 상태에서 소모하는 대기전력(Standby Power)을 저감할 수 있는 장치를 개발하고자 하였다. 기존의 멀티탭 형대기전력 차단장치는 그 장치 자체의 소비전력이 커서 사용 의미를 퇴색시키는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 제품의 이러한 문제점을 보완시키고 대기전력을 획기적으로 감시킬 수 있는 멀티탭 형식의 외장형 대기전력 차단장치와 가전기기 내장형 차단장치의 회로를 설계 및 구현하고 비교 실험을 통하여 그 우수성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, new smart switch that can monitor and control the power consumption and standby power in real-time by implementing an embedded web-server is proposed. The proposed switch can perform the following functions: measuring the electric power like commercial smart meter product, monitoring the power consumption in real-time in distant places through wire and wireless devices, and finally controlling ON/OFF of each switch. In addition, it also contains auto power-shutoff functions for standy power, overvoltage and overcurrent just like existing power-saving outlet and mulitap. Finally, the proposed smart switch has lower hardware and power consumption than the existing products and can be commercialized as a small-sized product by using exclusive embedded web-server of its own, rather than using PC for monitoring and remote control.

PCs and its peripherals uses more power in standby mode even if they are not actually being used. In particular, PCs and its peripherals used in school and office, plugged in at all times during working hours, but not used much time, even if turned off consume a portion of the power. In this paper, we developed Networked Smart Plug for Power Management of PC & Peripherals which is consist of EMS, Smart Plug, PC Agent and Smart Phone App. for power saving of PC and a variety of peripheral devices in office or home, and evaluated the performance of the system.

In this paper, we have presented a basic idea of a power shut-off client based on NFC (near field communication). For the first step of the system design, we have shown the conceptual diagrams of the hardware configuration and the software logic flow. This system can be applied to the integrated power control in home, office, school, factory, and apartment. The standby power shut-off system will bring saving in electrical energy and cost.

Today we have an obligation to pass the beautiful earth and enrich people's lives to next generations. According to the keynote, governments have a lot of resources to support the smart grid policies. Also the demand of the implementation of smart home applied the concept of smart grid is increasing rapidly. But the construction of smart home is centered on a new public housing except the pre-existing house which is counted for most of more than 90% of total. In this study, we suggest the implementation solution to make smart-homelike for the pre-existing houses without additional wiring or construction. We develop the technology reducing the unnecessary standby power 800mW to 20mW drastically. If we apply this technology, by the power off of main IC the actual power depends on the consumption of minimal devise located on the AC input side. Then the standby power becomes approximately 20mW(110ac).

This paper proposes an effective smart plug system capable of monitoring power, cutting off standby power and overload current. The key design concept is focused on measurement accuracy, self power consumption and controlling via smart phone application. The system is composed of several plugs and a hub, and adopts a star-topology-styled TDMA wireless protocol for communication between plug and hub. The test result shows that the implemented smart plug system meets K10026 regulation and is worth in electrical safety, energy saving, easy living.

최근, 텔레비전을 시청하지 않는 대기 상태에서의 셋톱박스의 대기 전력이 여타 가전기기의 대기 전력보다 10 배 이상을 상회하고 있어, 셋톱박스의 대기전력 저감은 국가적으로도 관심을 받고 있다. 셋톱박스의 대기전력 저감을 위해 대기상태의 셋톱박스의 최소전력 동작 모드인 수동대기모드가 제안되었지만, 셋톱박스가 수동대기모드에서는 셋톱박스의 업데이트 및 제어가 어려우므로, 셋톱박스의 수동대기모드 활용은 어려울 것이다. 본 논문은 수동대기모드에 가까운 대기전력을 소모하면서도 대기상태에서도 셋톱박스의 업데이트를 제공할 수 있는 망연동수동대기 모드를 정의하고, 망연동수동대기모드를 이용한 셋톱박스의 업데이트를 위한 셋톱박스 제어기법을 제안하고, 이 제어 기법을 위한 셋톱박스와 네트워크의 구조, 기능, 시그널링에 대해 설명한다. 본 논문의 망연동수동대기모드와 제어 방안은 셋톱박스 사업자 측면에서 활용성이 높으므로, 낮은 대기전력을 소모하는 셋톱박스 시장을 활성화하여 국가 및 세계적인 전력 감소에 큰 기여를 할 것이다.

In this study, through the accumulated technologies such as real-time monitoring of power consumption using power line communication (PLC) method, power control, and automatic blocking of standby power, to commercialize them, we developed the hardware design, algorithm, protocol and module along with data transmission using PLC. We conducted the study to develop advanced products. We also proposed cloud-based smart outlet products with a novel type of outlet. These products can measure the internal power consumption through the H/W modules and the modules that control the power of household appliances connected to the smart outlets and smart plugs. Subsequently, they transmit the measurements to the energy saving system server via a communication module. This system can control the terminal device connected to the Gateway (G/W) server through a mobile phone. This will allow the customer to check the power consumption of the building at any given time, to turn the terminal on/off, and to maximize the energy efficiency during the construction of new apartments or multi-family housing in an area.
