    摘要: A method for predicting consumer power demand uses power consumption data measured over a long term and a power usage pattern immediately before a target time and for controlling ESS charge/discharge of an ESS based on the predicted power demand. A power demand prediction apparatus using the method includes respective components for collecting weather data and data on power used by the consumer; selecting data points according to a preset condition from among data collected by the data collector based on a specific time span; generating long term prediction data for the power demand in the specific time span based on the selected data points; analyzing a power usage pattern immediately before the specific time span and comparing the power usage pattern with the long-term prediction data, to determine whether prediction data correction is required; and correcting the prediction data based on the power usage pattern when correction is required.
