I. INTRODUCTION
An IoT based smart energy management service is a service
that aims to maximize energy efficiency by developing energy-
based smart energy platforms for resolving energy issues in the
ultra-highway society and to maximize energy efficiency and
energy efficiency through energy sharing. These IoT smart
energy management services provide increased energy
efficiency, energy sharing, and transaction services through
interconnected inter-energy enterprise-synchronization of
enterprise-enabled energy-associated energy systems. Energy
management system (EMS) is computer-based platform to
monitor and control energy usage at a smart home and building.
There are several model EMS – centralized and distributed.

peaks, and future trend response, can be developed and diffused
to the national community. This can be achieved by developing
an energy internet platform for the development of an NFS-
based energy demand management service, a distributed energy
paradigm, and an energy inter-transfer energy transaction
service.[1]
II. SMART GRID
Smart Grid is an electricity network that can intelligently
integrate the actions of all users connected to it in order to
efficiently delivery sustainable, economic and secure electricity
supplies. Smart Grid 3.0 is a more network-oriented solution to
provide integrated energy production, transportation, and use for
a clean, efficient energy network of the future. Micro Grid is
small grid system that can be self-sufficient in small areas. In
other words, a small independent power grid is mixed with
renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power
and energy storage devices (ESS) in a next-generation power
system. Energy Internet of Things refer to procedures and
methods, and to ensure continual improvement, which will
spread awareness of energy efficiency throughout an IOT
environment.

III. HYBRID DR ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR CES
Energy management system is computer based platform to
monitor and control energy usage at a smart home and building.
The energy collection structure can be divided into three main
categories. Traditional energy collection structures were the
means of sending information using direct EMS and interface
protocols.
A. Distributed P2P Information Collotor
Centralized EMS has many problems. If the EMS becomes
overloaded with load, it can affect the entire system to overcome
this problem. Problems with the EMS system will cause
problems with diagnosing and recovering faults, and bringing
the entire system to a standstill. Additionally, the entire system-
synchronizing operation will involve loading the entire system.
The distributed EMS can address this problem by enabling
partial fault diagnosis and recovery. Also, the synchronization
between heterogeneous networks can also be supported.
In the p2p architecture, the energy device must have
communication protocol to communicate with the EMS. It is not
fit for low-cost IoT devices. In a distributed architecture, on the
other hand, The EMS is configured separately for each physical
and logical network unit to which the device is connected. There
is a separate EMS for each energy device group to collect. This
function collects the energy information of the lower devices
independently.
B. Centralized Multi-level Invormation Collotor
To address these problems, each communication protocol
has an agent for each communication protocol. An agent is a SW
module that collects and stores the information of devices in a
communication group and performs them to the EMS. This is a
method where each communication protocol allows
communication with the top EMS to communicate with each of
the protocols in each communication protocol, and this agent
collects information from the device and sends it to the EMS.
This has disadvantages in collecting information from the group
if the module fails to malfunction.

The centralized EMS model enables the allocation of limited
energy among appliances or by switching energy sources from
grid to local generation or battery according to consumer
preferences. EMS collects and manages the energy usage of
various energy devices. This improves operational efficiency
and device utilization. The generated power and the used power
must always be balanced. Centralized EMS can analyze and
centrally manage the usage of the entire device to minimize costs.
C. Hybrid Energy Information Collotor
The proposed approach is the Hybrid energy Information
Collotor. To enable a hybrid structure, there must be one or more
modules capable of communicating with each protocol group by
each protocol group, or at least one module capable of executing
the regulator. Select master agent according to schedule rules
when multiple regulators can perform multiple interventions.
Master aggregators periodically collect energy information from
all devices within the group and transfer it to the EMS. This has
two types of characteristics, depending on the characteristics of
each group, where Master Agents can collect information
directly and transmit data directly to the mater aggregators.
In first type, the way the master agent collects device
information directly from his group is the way in which master
aggregations can actively import information using
communication protocols in the group as needed. While the
master quota is subordinate to stress, the device in the group
always has a constant load of time to respond to the master's
response. This structure has many devices that have many
devices in the group that require a large number of devices to
manage. In second type, this is a way to send information to a
master agent when his or her information changes or needs to be
changed. While the first method must maintain its own
information until the master agent asks for information, it is
straightforward to transmit it immediately without saving the
collected data. This is particularly advantageous when the
performance of individual devices is low.
Smart EMS is a system as a key technology, can be
automatically save the energy information to the network section
of the subscriber, to minimize duplicate transfer to reduce the
amount of content traffic content transmission network. In this
paper, I presented a reduction hybrid smart EMS structure of the
network traffic in real-time. This is a technique to distribute the
requests are concentrated in Smart EMS particular server
through the load balancing system , is placed by specifying the
smart energy information optimized in accordance with the
address of the content requester . This can be used to build a
global delivery cloud platform to which is applied a smart
energy information , to ensure the competitiveness of domestic
enterprises of content delivery platform technology, and
domestic manufacturers and ensure the technical capabilities of
the next-generation content distribution market can be the world
market power of strengthening .
IV. CONCLUSION
The paper relates to a system and method for energy
information collecting agent for IoT Big Data System for CES.
There are many different types of energy devices in the home.
For efficient energy management, monitoring, and forecasting,
information gathering and control from low-end IoT devices to
high-end smart devices should be possible.
In this paper, we propose a method to communicate with a
collection server by selecting a master agent for heterogeneous
1136
protocols. In order to overcome the absence of master agent due
to frequent On / Off of IoT devices, we have a master agent
selection policy for each group, which may vary depending on
the characteristics of each communication group. This requires
a master agent, which means that there is at least one device on
which the master agent can run. The way to overcome this is
going on in future work.
