Korean power rate optimization ESS peak reduction system

This technology relates to an energy storage device operation method and system based on the Korean power rate system. It relates to an energy storage device operation method and system based on the Korean power rate system that can reduce the peak value of the actual power load pattern and the total power bill by controlling the charge and discharge operation of the energy storage device by calculating the optimized charge/discharge ratio of the energy storage device according to the results of comparative analysis of the peak value for predicted demand power and the actual accumulated peak value.

Korea's existing unique power rate system determines the base rate based on the maximum peak load over the past 12 months, making it difficult to substantially reduce electricity costs using energy storage systems (ESS) alone.

To solve these problems, this technology predicts the peak value of power demand for the current month based on past power usage data and compares it with the cumulative peak value of the past few months to calculate the optimal charging/discharging ratio of the ESS. It helps reduce overall electricity costs by simultaneously achieving peak load management and time-based rate reduction.

Blockchain-based smart contract to reduce traffic

This technology is about a distributed consensus system and method for the external interface in a blockchain-based smart contract. It is about an external device call interface that enables external device calls and a blockchain-based external service support system using public key verification.

The reason external device calls cannot be made in existing blockchain-based smart contracts is because smart contracts are executed on all nodes.

This technology uses transaction application methods of block generation nodes and block verification nodes to solve the problem of not being able to call external devices. By separating, traffic generated from external devices can be reduced.

‍

‍

‍

Key Features:

• When creating a block, if there is a request to call an external device, the block generation node directly calls it and stores the response in the block
• The external device signs and sends its response with a public key-based structure
• The block verification node verifies the transaction by checking whether the response stored in the block is correctly configured through public key verification
• All networks agree on the response content
