    Abstract: The present invention relates to control of activation of an air conditioning device. More particularly, the present invention provides a method for predicting the time of arrival of a preset indoor temperature based on information regarding environment factors, including a ventilation factor, and controlling the activation time of the air conditioning device such that the present temperature is reached at the target point of time according to the predicted time. In addition, the method provides a method for predicting the target point of time in view of the point of time at which the user will need the air conditioning device. In addition, the present invention provides a method for controlling activation of an air conditioning device in view of the optimal partial load factor of the air conditioning device until the presetting temperature is reached. The present disclosure relates to technologies for sensor networks, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be utilized for intelligent services (smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, services related to security and safety, etc.).

    Abstract: An energy storage system is provided. The energy storage system includes a battery, a power conversion system, and an energy management system configured to control the power conversion system to supply power to the power consumption system using at least one of a power received from an outside or a power charged in the battery. The energy management system estimates power consumption amounts of the power consumption system for each unit time period in a predetermined time period, a reference power amount based on the battery power charged in the battery and the power consumption amounts, and based on the power consumption amounts and the reference power amount, controls the power conversion system to supply power to the power consumption system using the external power and the battery power during the predetermined time period.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a temperature based on scheduling of an indoor temperature are provided. The apparatus obtains set temperature history information of an air handling unit from previously stored information. The set temperature history information is mapped to weather factor history information about at least one weather factor. The apparatus also obtains weather factor information regarding a scheduling target time. Based on the obtained set temperature history information and the obtained weather factor information, the apparatus schedules a set temperature of the air handling unit with regard to the scheduling target time. The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT) and may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, healthcare, digital education, smart retail, and security services.
