Abstract

A smart plug is a electronic device which has communication and power control functions for supporting efficient energy usage by saving standby power from outlets. A smart plug can measure amount of consumed electricity of a connected appliance and monitor the usage pattern of electricity by communication with a Energy Management System(EMS) and a smart phone. In addition, a user can control turn on or off of devices remotely by performing a smart application installed in the connected smart phone. In these days, several commercial smart plug products are announced to public. However, they have a weakness in term of cost and convenience. In this paper, we propose a new smart plug with distance-based automatic on/off control functionality to support convenient use of smart plugs by removing The proposed smart plug system does not need a server for controlling each smart plug and communicates among a smart plug, remote controller, and mobile device for sending and receiving power and control data.

스마트 플러그는 통신기능과 자동 전원차단 기능 등을 가지고 있는 플러그로서 에너지 절약을 통해 효율적인 에너지 사용을 지원하는 스마트 기기이다. 통신기능을 이용한 가전제품의 소비전력 측정 및 스마트폰, 에너지관리시스템(EMS) 서버와의 연동을 통한 에너지 모니터링과 사용량 분석 등을 제공하며 원격 전원제어 기능을 제공한다. 현재 사용 제품들도 다수 출시되어 사용되고 있으나 비용 및 사용 측면에서 불편한 요소가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 스마트 플러그 제품의 불편한 점을 해결하고 사용자들이 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 거리기반 자동 온/오프 시스템에 기반한 새로운 스마트 플러그 시스템을 제안한다. 본 스마트 플러그 시스템은 플러그 제어에 필요한 서버가 필요없고 블루투스와 지그비 통신 인터페이스를 통하여 직접 스마트 플러그와 원격장치 및 모바일 기기와 통신하여 전력 및 제어 데이터를 송수신할 수 있다.
