  • Energy-saving service offering method and apparatus therefor
    Patent number: 6775595
    Abstract: An energy saving service offering method and apparatus are provided, in which a present electric power consumption of a supervised load facility of a user, who owns the supervised load facility, including a motor, and who desires to save energy, and inverter control operation data produced when an inverter has been installed in the supervised load facility and performing a motor speed control operation are determined. Further, a merit refund corresponding to saved electric power consumption determined by referring to a difference between said present electric power consumption data and the inverter control operation data is calculated. Finally, a charge and billing operation based on the merit refund under contract conditions established between a energy saving service provider and its contractor is performed.
