Abstract: A central control system and method for controlling air conditioners. The central control system performs central control operations for the air conditioners according to an operation schedule or control command inputted from a central controller coupled to the air conditioners through an internal network or a remote controller accessible to an external Internet network. When the air conditioners are simultaneously operated, control signals based on the control command are adjusted to prevent electric power consumption from abruptly increasing and hence the stability and reliability of control can be improved. The central controller includes a touch screen-based monitor. A control program included in the central controller provides a timetable corresponding to a specified period. An operator can conveniently input/edit the operation schedule through a dragging operation performed on the monitor, and confirm the inputted/edited operation schedule.

In the central control system, multi-type air conditioners comprise a large number of indoor devices and a small number of outdoor devices, and a central controller is coupled to the multi-type air conditioners over a network. The central controller transmits a control graphic user interface (GUI) program provided therein to the remote control device so that an integrated control operation for respective air conditioners can be carried out. The central controller adjusts a transmission time of the control command signal received from the remote control device and transmits the control command signal to a corresponding air conditioner according to a result of the adjustment so that signal collision can be avoided.

Abstract: A central control system controls peak power of multiple air conditioners that includes indoor units installed in rooms of a building and an outdoor unit for controlling refrigerant circulation. A central controller is connected to the multiple air conditioners via a network to perform central control or monitoring of operations of the air conditioners. The central controller performs peak power control if current power consumption of the air conditioners, calculated based on operating states thereof, exceeds a previously input reference management power value. A signal converter is connected between the multiple air conditioners and the central controller to perform mutual conversion of different protocol signals communicated between the multiple air conditioners and the central controller. This decreases excessive electricity costs due to excessive power consumption while approximately maintaining cooling/heating efficiencies, and also prevents the entire power of the building from being cut off.

In the system, a protocol converter connected to a central controller converts a communication standard of a signal communicated between the airconditioners and the central controller into another communication standard, acquires connection state information by scanning connection state information of individual airconditioners, and transmits the acquired information to the central controller, such that a manager can correctly monitor an airconditioner state using the central controller, resulting in the implementation of a reliable control system.

Abstract: A central control system includes a plurality of air conditioners and a central control unit connected to the air conditioners over a network. The air conditioners are installed in rooms of a building to provide air conditioning in the rooms. The central control unit receives a control command for monitoring and controlling each of the air conditioners, and adjusts an operating schedule of each of the air conditioners to limit total peak power consumption of the air conditioners in operation below a reference power value. The central control unit controls the operation of each of the air conditioners based on the adjusted operating schedule. When the total peak power consumption exceeds the reference power value, the central control unit prevents the entire air conditioning system from shutting down, which improves stability of the air conditioning system and decreases electricity costs for air conditioning.

The air conditioning system includes a plurality of indoor units for air conditioning installed in rooms of a building and an outdoor unit for circulation of refrigerant, where the indoor units share the outdoor unit.

It is thus possible to determine respective power consumption patterns and electricity charges of the indoor units more accurately, thereby improving management efficiency of the entire air conditioning system.
