현재 가정 및 사무실 사용전력 가운데 실제 이용되지 않고 전자기기의 대기상태에서 버려지는 대기소모 전력이 5~10 %에 이르는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이를 줄이기 위한 노력이 선진국들뿐만 아니라 국제적 차원에서 경주되고 있다. 우리나라도 가전기기 및 산업기기의 자동화 및 on-line화에 따른 대기 소모 전력이 점차 증가하고 있어 전기에너지 낭비의 큰 요인이 되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 온실가스 배출량을 감축하려는 국제협약에도 배치된다. 따라서 대기전력을 줄이기 위한 범국가적인 제도적 기술적 노력을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 대기전력절감기술 및 최근 국제동향과 대기전력 차단 장치의 무선화를 기술하였다.

In Korea, the dependence on imported energy is very high, and research to reduce standby power is being conducted based on Zigbee, a low-power technology, to reduce wasted power and improve power efficiency. However, because Zigbee is not an IoT standard protocol and is not network-based, it is necessary to build a network with a separate gateway, and research on standby power is insufficient because the standards for international power consumption of devices are ambiguous. Therefore, in this paper, we applied the IoT standard protocol MQTT to the existing Zigbee technology to build a network network without a separate gateway, and designed and implemented a standby power reduction system that collects standby power degradation and user patterns. As a result of evaluating with the existing system, it was confirmed that about 7.11% of standby power was consumed compared to the existing system.

A Power Management System(PMS), which provides the functions of automatic detection and cutoff of home appliances' standby power without user intervention, is presented in this paper. A client in this system measures the power consumption of a home appliance plugged in it and transmits the information to a server in real-time over a wireless network. The server analyzes the features of the power consumption of home appliances and detects if any home appliance consumes standby power. The detected standby power information is used to create the information of the home appliance and to build a database, which will finally offer the automatic detection and cutoff of the standby power without any configuration through user intervention.

In this paper, the automatic standby power blocking socket outlet to reduce standby power by blocking power threshold is implemented. Where, the standby power means a flowing power when a disused power electronic is plugged into the socket outlet. The proposed socket outlet can cut off the standby power by establishing a proper block power threshold electronic device according to each electronic device because it can monitor the amount of power through the smart machines such as the real-time PC or mobile phone and directly control the blocking power threshold. The software is implemented by using Visual Studio software, code vision and SN8 C studio, and the hardware is embodied in ATmega128, SN8F27E93S, USB to UART, and relay etc. Through the simulation, we find that the standby power of the proposed method is similar to that of the conventional method in case of the cellular phone but the standby power of the proposed method is much less than that of the conventional method in case of the computer, air conditioning, and set-top box. Therefore, it is proved that the proposed socket outlet has a superior performance in terms of the standby power.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of wireless smart plug having AC power sensor and intelligent standby power control algorithm for energy sensor network. The adaptive standby power control algorithm has function to apply different threshold of standby power by using learning algorithm depending on electric equipments. As using the proposed algorithm, user convenience will be more better and power consumption can be more reduced. The implemented prototypes of wireless smart plug and wireless access point were tested to verify the required functions and performance. As a result, we confirmed practicality of wireless smart power sensor and satisfaction of given design specifications.

본 논문에서는 가전기기의 대기전력 저감을 위해 Capacitive Divider Power Supply(CDPS)로 전원을 공급받는 고효율 전원제어회로를 제안하였다. 이 제어회로는 220 V의 AC 전압을 높은 효율로 기기의 구동용 저전압 DC로 변환하기 위하여 기존의 변압기나 SMPS를 사용하는 대신 커패시터 분압기(Capacitive Divider)를 사용하여 전원을 공급하도록 제작되었으며, 대기 상태에서 교류전력선과 가전기기를 완전히 분리시킨 상태에서 적외선 수신기, MCU, 래치 타입 릴레이 등의 소자를 이용하여 기존 상용 리모컨으로도 전원제어가 가능하도록 설계되었다. 설계된 회로의 소비전력은 2.2 mW이며 본 논문에서 제안한 전원제어회로를 대기전력이 700 mW인 모니터에 적용하여 측정한 결과 대기전력이 7 mW로 낮아지는 것을 확인하였으며, 태양전지를 보조전원으로 추가 할 경우 태양전지에서 공급해주는 전력만큼 대기전력이 감소함을 확인하였다.

A device which could cut off the consumption of standby power by electric or electronic devices at homes and offices while waiting for a command to carry out the main functions from the inside or the outside was developed at a low price. Efforts to save standby power have been made on a global scale as well as by advanced countries. The consumption of standby power in South Korea is also increasing gradually due to increasing trend in the number of electronic and electric devices per household, becoming a major factor for waste of electric energy. The previous standby power cutoff devices themselves have high electric energy consumption and complicated structures, making the purpose less meaningful. Therefore, a low-priced standby power cutoff device is suggested in this study, which compensates such problems and cuts off the consumption of standby power completely. The circuit of the suggested standby power cutoff device was designed and implemented by applying it to an earth leakage breaker and an (electrical) outlet. Experimental results show its superiority.

본 논문에서는 Zigbee 통신을 이용하여 대기전력을 차단함 함으로써 전력 소비를 줄이기 위한 스마트 오피스 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 관하여 기술한다. 구현된 시스템은 Server를 통하여 각 Client의 전류에 대한 통제를 가능하게 하며, 전력 사용 상황과 전력량 정보를 통해 사용자에게 고지함으로써 기존의 전자기기의 대기전력의 소비를 줄일 수 있다. 또한 외부 장치에서 Server로의 접근을 통해 제어할 수 있도록 하여 공간적인 문제도 고려하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 시스템을 이용함으로써 대기전력 소비가 종전보다 작아짐을 확인 할 수 있었다. Server는 ARM과 C#, Client는 ATmega와 C를 이용하여 구현하였다.
