Problems solved by technology

In this case, the electricity bill can be reduced, but it is impossible for the user to obtain the desired washing performance at the desired time
[0012] In addition, when the washing machine is driven during a time period when the electricity price is high, the operating status of all the constituent parts deteriorates at the same time, and at this time, if the washing machine performs washing operations, it is difficult to satisfy the degree of washing desired by the user

Abstract

A washing machine and a method of controlling the same include a motor to rotate a rotary tub including laundry, a heater to heat water contained in the rotary tub, a communication unit to receive an energy saving signal having information regarding an energy saving start time from an energy management system (EMS), and a controller, upon receiving the energy saving signal, to determine which one of the motor and the heater is a load having highest power consumption in a process to be executed at the energy saving start time, and reduce the operation rate of the determined load. Before current power rates exceed reference power rates, the load operation rate of the washing machine is changed so that power consumption is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments relate to a washing machine for adjusting / controlling load driving to save electricity and a method of controlling the washing machine. Background technique [0002] With the development of information technology (IT), the number of home appliances driven by electricity is rapidly increasing, which in turn leads to an increase in power demand and power consumption. To meet this increased demand for electricity, the number of power stations has rapidly increased. However, electricity demand patterns suggest that peak capacity is not reached on most days of the year. More specifically, power stations operate at full capacity only a few days of the year. [0003] A state requiring high power demand for a short period of time is called a peak load. The construction cost of adding additional power stations to the grid is extremely high, and the maintenance costs of power stations built to maintain peak loads for short periods of time are quit...
