  • Patent number: 12726154
    Abstract: Proposed are an energy management apparatus and an energy storage apparatus. The energy management apparatus includes an electricity generation amount forecast unit including an electricity generation amount forecast model, a consumption amount forecast unit including a consumption amount forecast model, and a control module configured to detect an abnormality of a solar panel based on a forecast electricity generation amount, which is forecasted on a per-time span basis, and on an actually generated electricity generation amount, wherein the control module corrects the forecast electricity generation amount based on the electricity generation amounts up to now and determines the presence or absence of the abnormality of the solar panel and the cause of a failure of the solar panel based on the corrected forecast electricity generation amount.

  • Publication number: 20260153268
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heat pump, an operation method of the heat pump, and a server. The heat pump according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant; at least one heat exchanger in which heat exchange occurs between water and the refrigerant; a memory configured to store operation data related to an operation of the heat pump; and a controller, and the controller may calculate, based on the operation data, an estimated amount of power expected to be used by the heat pump in a predetermined operation for bringing a temperature of water stored in a hot water supply tank for storing the heat-exchanged water to correspond to a preset target temperature, and determine a schedule for controlling a load of the heat pump during an operating time in which the heat pump performs the predetermined operation, based on the estimated amount of power.
