Description
本発明は、複数の施設の稼働を管理する技術に関する。
The present invention relates to a technique for managing the operation of a plurality of facilities.
次世代電力網では、現在のような供給側から需要側への一方的な電力提供ではなく、需要側と供給側との双方向からの電力のやりとりを行うことで、系統の全体の最適化を行い、省エネ、ピークシフト、停電対策、環境負荷削減を達成する。
In the next-generation power network, the power supply from the supply side to the demand side is not unilaterally provided from the current supply side to the demand side. To achieve energy saving, peak shift, power outage countermeasures, and environmental load reduction.
その手段として、各需要家や電力事業者は夫々HEMS(Home Energy Management System)やCEMS(Community Energy Management System)などのデマンド管理装置を有する。デマンド管理装置は、需要家の電子機器や施設の状態を監視し、通信ネットワークを介して外部の機器と通信を行い、系統の電力需給を調整する。デマンド管理装置は、需要家や供給側の間の円滑な電力融通を可能とし、その結果、円滑な系統安定化を行うことができる。例えば、ピークシフトでは、需要家に対して、機器の使用時間帯の変更、一定時間の使用電力抑制、電力融通等の依頼や交渉、またその実行管理が、デマンド管理装置を介して行われる。これにより、需要家間の電力融通に関するネゴシエーション、電力融通の実行を円滑に行うことが可能となり、その結果、停電回避や電力消費の無駄を削減させることができる。
As a means, each consumer and electric power company has a demand management device such as HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and CEMS (Community Energy Management System). The demand management device monitors the state of consumer electronic devices and facilities, communicates with external devices via a communication network, and adjusts the power supply and demand of the system. The demand management device enables smooth power interchange between customers and the supply side, and as a result, smooth system stabilization can be performed. For example, in peak shift, requests and negotiations for changing the usage time zone of a device, suppressing power consumption for a certain period of time, power interchange, etc., and execution management are performed via a demand management device. This makes it possible to smoothly negotiate the power interchange between consumers and execute the power interchange. As a result, it is possible to avoid power failure and waste of power consumption.
このような需給調整を実現する技術として、共用蓄電池に蓄積されている電力を需要家の優先度に応じて振り分ける電力供給システムが知られている(例えば、特許文献1)。
As a technique for realizing such supply and demand adjustment, a power supply system that distributes the electric power stored in the shared storage battery according to the priority of the consumer is known (for example, Patent Document 1).
しかしながら、例えば、前述のような需要家の優先度は、電力供給システムの構築時にシステムの管理者によって固定値として設定されるため、コミュニティにおける需要家の生活習慣の変化によるニーズ変化には対応できない。例えば、需要家が所有する電気自動車(EV:electric vehicle)の数が少なく、ガソリン車の所有数が多いコミュニティにおいて、EVスタンドの優先度は、ガソリンスタンドの優先度より低く設定されると考えられる。しかし今後、需要家によるガソリン車からEVへの乗り換えが進めばその設定は不適切となる。その結果、実際にはほとんど使用されないガソリンスタンドに対して優先的に電力供給が行われる可能性があり、電力の無駄につながる。
However, for example, the priority of the consumer as described above is set as a fixed value by the system administrator when the power supply system is constructed, so it cannot cope with a change in needs due to a change in the lifestyle of the consumer in the community. . For example, in a community where the number of electric vehicles (EVs) owned by consumers is small and the number of gasoline vehicles is large, the priority of EV stations is considered to be set lower than the priority of gas stations. . In the future, however, if customers change from gasoline cars to EVs, the setting will be inappropriate. As a result, there is a possibility that power is preferentially supplied to a gas station that is rarely used in practice, leading to wasted power.
即ち、複数の施設の中から稼働を制限する施設を選択する時、施設の利用状況の変化は考慮されない。
That is, when a facility whose operation is restricted is selected from a plurality of facilities, changes in the usage status of the facility are not considered.
上記課題を解決するために、本発明の一態様である施設管理方法は、複数の施設の夫々において、自施設内の機器の使用量を保存し、複数の施設の夫々において、自施設内の機器に関連する他施設を特定し、使用量に基づいて、他施設の利用状況を示す利用度を算出し、複数の施設の利用度に基づいて、複数の施設の中から稼働を制限する施設を選択することを備える。
In order to solve the above-described problem, a facility management method according to one aspect of the present invention stores the amount of equipment used in the facility in each of the plurality of facilities, and the facility management method in each of the plurality of facilities. A facility that identifies other facilities related to the device, calculates the usage level indicating the usage status of the other facility based on the usage, and restricts operation from the multiple facilities based on the usage level of multiple facilities Comprising selecting.
或る施設に属する機器の使用量に合わせて、その機器に関連する他の施設の稼働の必要性を決定することができる。
It is possible to determine the necessity of operation of other facilities related to the device according to the usage amount of the device belonging to a certain facility.

FIG. 3 shows the customer facility management process. In the following description, self-consumer equipment is sometimes called real equipment because it exists in the self-customer facility. In addition, the other customer facility is sometimes referred to as a virtual device because it is regarded as a virtual own customer device.
S300において、機器登録部201は、実在機器を示す実在機器情報を生成し、二次記憶装置105へ登録する。ここで機器登録部201は、需要家デマンド管理装置100の通信部102へ実在機器が接続されると、接続された実在機器を認識する。ここで機器登録部201は、接続された実在機器との通信により、実在機器を認識してもよいし、需要家デマンド管理装置100のユーザが、実在機器が接続されたことを入出力部103へ入力してもよい。その後、機器登録部201は、接続された実在機器のID、名称、および機器分類を実在機器情報として、二次記憶装置105内に登録する。
In S300, the device registration unit 201 generates real device information indicating the real device and registers the real device information in the secondary storage device 105. Here, when an actual device is connected to the communication unit 102 of the customer demand management apparatus 100, the device registration unit 201 recognizes the connected actual device. Here, the device registration unit 201 may recognize the real device through communication with the connected real device, or the user of the consumer demand management apparatus 100 may indicate that the real device has been connected. You may enter Thereafter, the device registration unit 201 registers the ID, name, and device classification of the connected real device in the secondary storage device 105 as real device information.
以下の説明において、実在機器の分類を実在機器分類と呼ぶことがある。実在機器分類は、車、石油ストーブ、冷蔵庫等を示す。また、実在機器分類に仮想機器を加えた分類を、機器分類と呼ぶことがある。また、需要家施設130の分類を需要家施設分類と呼ぶことがある。需要家施設分類は、一般家庭、ガソリンスタンド、スーパーマーケット等を示す。
In the following description, the classification of the actual device may be referred to as the actual device classification. The real equipment classification indicates cars, oil stoves, refrigerators, and the like. In addition, a classification obtained by adding a virtual device to an existing device classification may be referred to as a device classification. Further, the classification of the customer facility 130 may be referred to as a customer facility classification.

In step S <b> 301, the device registration unit 201 performs virtual device registration processing for generating virtual device information indicating a virtual device and registering the virtual device information in the secondary storage device 105.
ここで機器登録部201は例えば、コミュニティ内の全ての他需要家施設を検索し仮想機器として登録する、登録要求を出している他需要家施設を無条件に仮想機器として登録する、自需要家機器と関連性のある他需要家施設を検索し仮想機器として登録する、などの処理を行っても良い。ここでは、計算量を低減する、自需要家機器と関連性の低い他需要家施設を登録することを防止する、需要家自身の手間を低減する、などの観点から、機器登録部201は、自需要家機器の実在機器分類と他需要家施設により要求された実在機器分類とが一致した場合に、その他需要家施設を仮想機器とし、仮想機器を示す仮想機器情報を登録する。
Here, for example, the device registration unit 201 searches for all other customer facilities in the community and registers them as virtual devices, and unconditionally registers other customer facilities that have issued a registration request as virtual devices. Processing such as searching for other customer facilities associated with the device and registering it as a virtual device may be performed. Here, from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of calculation, preventing other customer facilities having low relevance to the customer device, reducing the labor of the customer himself, etc., the device registration unit 201 When the actual device classification of the own consumer device matches the actual device classification requested by the other customer facility, the other customer facility is set as a virtual device and virtual device information indicating the virtual device is registered.
他需要家機器紐付要求部205は、他需要家機器との紐付け要求を他需要家施設の需要家デマンド管理装置100へ送る。ここで他需要家機器紐付要求部205は、需要家デマンド管理装置100を所有する需要家が自需要家施設との紐付けを希望する他需要家機器の実在機器分類を要求する。この実在機器分類は、予め需要家により需要家デマンド管理装置100へ入力されても良いし、自需要家施設の需要家施設分類と他需要家機器の実在機器分類との関連を示すデータベースを有し、そのデータベースに基づいて、他需要家機器紐付要求部205が紐付け要求を送っても良い。また、他需要家機器紐付要求部205は、紐付け要求をマルチキャストにより複数の他需要家施設の需要家デマンド管理装置100へ送っても良い。
The other customer device linking request unit 205 sends a linking request with another customer device to the customer demand management device 100 of the other customer facility. Here, the other consumer device linking request unit 205 requests the actual device classification of the other customer device that the customer who owns the consumer demand management device 100 desires to link with the own customer facility. This real equipment classification may be input in advance to the consumer demand management apparatus 100 by a consumer, or has a database indicating the relationship between the customer facility classification of the own consumer facility and the real equipment classification of other consumer equipment. Then, based on the database, the other customer device association request unit 205 may send the association request. Further, the other customer device linking request unit 205 may send the linking request to the customer demand management device 100 of a plurality of other customer facilities by multicast.
図5は、実施例1における紐付け要求を示す。紐付け要求は、要求元の需要家施設130と関連する実在器機器分類である幾つかの紐付け要求先分類を含む。この例においては、他需要家施設であるガソリンスタンドGSが紐付け要求を送信したとする。要求元の需要家施設130は、ガソリンスタンドGSであり、紐付け要求先分類は、ガソリンスタンドGSと関連が深いと考えられる、車、バイク、石油ストーブである。また、紐付け要求は、紐付け要求元の需要家施設130の需要家施設分類、紐付け要求元の需要家施設130の名称等を含んでも良い。この例において、紐付け要求元の需要家施設分類は、ガソリンスタンドであり、紐付け要求元の需要家施設名称は、ガソリンスタンドGSである。
FIG. 5 shows an association request in the first embodiment. The linking request includes several linking request destination classifications which are real equipment device classifications associated with the requesting customer facility 130. In this example, it is assumed that a gas station GS that is another customer facility transmits a linking request. The requesting customer facility 130 is a gas station GS, and the linking request destination classification is a car, a motorcycle, or an oil stove that is considered to be closely related to the gas station GS. Further, the linking request may include the customer facility classification of the customer facility 130 that is the linking request source, the name of the customer facility 130 that is the linking request source, and the like. In this example, the customer facility classification of the linking request source is a gas station, and the customer facility name of the linking request source is a gas station GS.

Next, in S404, the device registration unit 201 determines whether or not the processing of S402 has been performed for all the existing devices.
S404の結果がNoである場合、機器登録部201は、処理をS402へ移行させる。
If the result of S404 is No, the device registration unit 201 shifts the process to S402.
S404の結果がYesである場合、機器登録部201は、処理をS405へ移行させる。
If the result of S404 is Yes, the device registration unit 201 moves the process to S405.

If the result of S407 is No, the device registration unit 201 ends this flow.
S407の結果がYesである場合、機器登録部201は、処理をS408へ移行させる。
If the result of S407 is Yes, the device registration unit 201 shifts the process to S408.
次にS408において、機器登録部201は、紐付け要求元の他需要家施設を仮想機器とし、その仮想機器を示す仮想機器情報を、二次記憶装置105へ登録する。また、二次記憶装置105内の実在機器情報と仮想機器情報とを合わせて機器情報とする。仮想機器情報は、紐付け要求の要求元の需要家施設分類を含む。ここでは、需要家の登録同意確認は、その都度、需要家デマンド管理装置100のユーザの入力を得る構成となっているが、例えば、予め需要家が仮想機器の登録に同意しておくなどすれば、この入力作業は不要となる。
Next, in step S <b> 408, the device registration unit 201 registers the virtual device information indicating the virtual device in the secondary storage device 105 using the other customer facility of the association request source as a virtual device. Further, the real device information in the secondary storage device 105 and the virtual device information are combined into device information. The virtual device information includes the customer facility classification of the request source of the association request. Here, the registration consent confirmation of the consumer is configured to obtain the input of the user of the consumer demand management apparatus 100 each time.

S505の結果がYesである場合、機器紐付部202は、処理をS506へ移行させる。
If the result of S505 is Yes, the device associating unit 202 shifts the processing to S506.
次にS506において、機器紐付部202は、選択された実在機器を紐付け要求元の他需要家施設と紐付け、その紐付けを示す紐付け情報を二次記憶装置105へ保存する。またここでは、需要家の登録同意確認は、その都度、需要家の入力を得る構成となっているが、例えば、予め需要家が他需要家施設との紐付けに同意しておくなどすれば、この入力作業は不要となる。

以上が紐付け処理のフローである。
The above is the flow of the pegging process.
自需要家機器の実在機器分類と他需要家施設からの紐付け要求に示されている実在機器分類とが一致し、且つ、ユーザの同意が得られた場合に、自需要家機器と他需要家施設とを紐づけることにより、自需要家機器の動作に必要な他需要家施設を選んで紐づけることができる。これにより、電力供給を維持する需要家施設130の選択において、ユーザによる他需要家施設への依存度やユーザの意思を反映させることができる。
If the actual equipment classification of the customer's equipment matches the actual equipment classification shown in the pegging request from the other customer facility, and the user's consent is obtained, the customer's equipment and other demand By associating the home facility, it is possible to select and associate other customer facilities necessary for the operation of the self-consumer equipment. Thereby, in the selection of the consumer facility 130 that maintains the power supply, it is possible to reflect the dependence of the user on the other consumer facility and the user's intention.
図9は、実施例1における紐付け情報を示す。紐付け情報は、実在機器毎のエントリを有する。或る実在機器のエントリは、その実在機器のIDと、その実在機器の名称と、その実在機器に紐付けられた仮想機器である紐付け先とを含む。この例においては、紐付け要求内の紐付け要求先分類である車と、機器情報内の実在機器分類である車とが一致し、紐付け要求内の紐付け要求先分類である石油ストーブと、機器情報内の実在機器分類である石油ストーブとが一致した場合を示す。これにより、実在機器である車MCは、仮想機器であるガソリンスタンドGSに紐付けられ、実在機器である石油ストーブSTは、仮想機器であるガソリンスタンドGSに紐付けられている。その他、実在機器である冷蔵庫RFは、仮想機器であるスーパーマーケットSM及び魚屋FSに紐付けられている。
FIG. 9 shows the linking information in the first embodiment. The association information has an entry for each real device. The entry of a certain real device includes the ID of the real device, the name of the real device, and a link destination that is a virtual device linked to the real device. In this example, the vehicle that is the linking request destination classification in the linking request matches the vehicle that is the actual device classification in the device information, and the oil stove that is the linking request destination classification in the linking request The case where the oil stove which is the real equipment classification in the equipment information matches is shown. As a result, the vehicle MC that is a real device is linked to the gas station GS that is a virtual device, and the oil stove ST that is a real device is linked to the gas station GS that is a virtual device. In addition, the refrigerator RF that is a real device is linked to the supermarket SM and the fish store FS that are virtual devices.
また、この紐付け処理により、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、自需要家機器に関連する他需要家施設を特定することができる。
Further, by this linking process, the consumer demand management apparatus 100 can specify other customer facilities related to the own consumer device.
なお、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、仮想機器登録処理と紐付け処理とを合わせた処理を行ってもよい。即ち、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、仮想機器を登録する場合に、自需要家機器を他需要家施設に紐付けても良い。
Note that the consumer demand management apparatus 100 may perform a process that combines the virtual device registration process and the linking process. That is, the consumer demand management apparatus 100 may link the own consumer device with another customer facility when registering a virtual device.
また、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、自需要家機器の動作に必要な需要家施設130の需要家施設分類を含む紐付け要求を、他需要家施設へ送信しても良い。この場合、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、その自需要家機器の使用履歴から送信先を特定し、その送信先へ紐付け要求を送信しても良いし、マルチキャストでコミュニティ内の複数の需要家デマンド管理装置100へ紐付け要求を送信しても良い。この紐付け要求を受信した他需要家施設の需要家デマンド管理装置100は、その他需要家施設の需要家施設分類と、紐付け要求に示されている需要家施設130の需要家施設分類とが一致する場合に、紐付け要求の送信元へ紐付けの同意を送信しても良い。紐付け要求の送信元の需要家デマンド管理装置100は、同意を受信した場合に、同意した他需要家施設を仮想機器として登録し、自需要家機器と仮想機器とを紐づける。
Further, the consumer demand management apparatus 100 may transmit a pegging request including the consumer facility classification of the consumer facility 130 necessary for the operation of the own consumer device to other consumer facilities. In this case, the consumer demand management device 100 may identify a transmission destination from the usage history of the own consumer device, and may transmit a linking request to the transmission destination, or a plurality of consumers in the community by multicast. The association request may be transmitted to the demand management apparatus 100. The customer demand management apparatus 100 of the other customer facility that has received the association request has the customer facility classification of the other customer facility and the customer facility classification of the customer facility 130 indicated in the association request. If they match, the linking agreement may be transmitted to the linking request source. When receiving the consent, the consumer demand management device 100 that is the transmission source of the association request registers the agreed other consumer facility as a virtual device, and associates the own consumer device with the virtual device.
ここで、需要家施設管理処理のフローの説明に戻る。
Here, we return to the explanation of the customer facility management processing flow.
次にS303において、機器使用量監視部203は、実在機器の使用量を示す機器使用量情報を、二次記憶装置105へ記録する。機器使用量監視部203は、接続されている自需要家機器から使用履歴を取得し、使用履歴に基づいて機器使用量情報を生成しても良い。自需要家機器の使用履歴は、その自需要家機器により作成されても良いし、その自需要家機器と協働する機器により作成されても良いし、その自需要家機器に接続されている需要家デマンド管理装置100の機器使用量監視部203により作成されても良い。また、機器使用量監視部203は、需要家デマンド管理装置100のユーザからの入力により、接続されていない自需要家機器の使用履歴を取得し、使用履歴に基づいて機器使用量情報を生成しても良い。自需要家機器の使用履歴は、使用開始時刻及び使用終了時刻を示していても良いし、使用回数を示していても良いし、自需要家機器の動作のために用いられた他需要家施設を示していても良い。
In step S <b> 303, the device usage amount monitoring unit 203 records device usage amount information indicating the usage amount of the actual device in the secondary storage device 105. The device usage monitoring unit 203 may acquire a usage history from a connected consumer device and generate device usage information based on the usage history. The usage history of the consumer device may be created by the consumer device, may be created by a device that cooperates with the consumer device, or is connected to the consumer device. It may be created by the device usage monitoring unit 203 of the consumer demand management apparatus 100. In addition, the device usage monitoring unit 203 acquires the usage history of the unconnected consumer device based on the input from the user of the consumer demand management apparatus 100, and generates device usage information based on the usage history. May be. The usage history of the consumer device may indicate the use start time and the use end time, may indicate the number of times of use, and other customer facilities used for the operation of the consumer device May be shown.
図10は、実施例1における機器使用量情報を示す。機器使用量情報は、実在機器の使用時間、実在機器のオンオフ回数などであってもよい。ここでの機器使用量情報は、過去24時間における実在機器の稼働時間である機器稼働時間(h/日)を含む。また機器使用量情報は、コミュニティにおける各実在機器分類の平均機器稼働時間によって機器稼働時間が正規化された値である正規化機器稼働時間を含む。なお、機器使用量情報は、機器仮想時間及び平均機器稼働時間を含まなくても良い。
FIG. 10 shows device usage information in the first embodiment. The device usage information may be the actual device usage time, the actual device on / off count, and the like. The device usage information here includes device operating time (h / day) that is the operating time of the actual device in the past 24 hours. The device usage information includes a normalized device operating time that is a value obtained by normalizing the device operating time by the average device operating time of each real device classification in the community. The device usage information may not include the device virtual time and the average device operating time.
例えば、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110が、各需要家施設130から機器稼働時間を収集し、実在機器分類毎の平均値を算出して平均機器稼働時間とし、その平均機器稼働時間を各需要家デマンド管理装置100へ通知する。これに応じて、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、通知された平均機器稼働時間を二次記憶装置105内の機器使用量情報へ保存する。なお、平均機器稼働時間は、予め需要家デマンド管理装置100へ入力されても良い。平均機器稼働時間の代わりに、使用頻度の平均値等、基準となる使用量が用いられても良い。機器使用量監視部203は、各実在機器の機器稼働時間を平均機器稼働時間で除算して正規化機器稼働時間とする。
For example, the community demand management device 110 collects device operation time from each customer facility 130, calculates an average value for each real device classification, and sets the average device operation time as the average device operation time. Notify device 100. In response to this, the consumer demand management device 100 stores the notified average device operating time in the device usage information in the secondary storage device 105. The average device operating time may be input to the consumer demand management device 100 in advance. Instead of the average equipment operating time, a reference usage amount such as an average value of usage frequency may be used. The device usage monitoring unit 203 divides the device operating time of each real device by the average device operating time to obtain a normalized device operating time.
この例において、車MCの機器稼働時間は2.00時間、車MCの平均機器稼働時間は1.20時間である。従って、車MCの正規化機器稼働時間は、(平均機器稼働時間)/(正規化機器稼働時間)=1.60である。或る実在機器分類に属する実在機器の使用量が、その実在機器分類の平均の使用量より多い場合、その実在機器の正規化機器稼働時間は1より大きくなり、その実在機器分類の平均の使用量より少ない場合、その実在機器の正規化機器稼働時間は1より小さくなる。言い換えれば、正規化機器稼働時間は、実在機器分類に関わらず、コミュニティ内の平均の使用量を1で表す。
In this example, the device operating time of the car MC is 2.00 hours, and the average device operating time of the car MC is 1.20 hours. Therefore, the normalized device operating time of the car MC is (average device operating time) / (normalized device operating time) = 1.60. When the usage amount of the real device belonging to a certain real device class is larger than the average use amount of the real device class, the normalized device operating time of the real device becomes greater than 1, and the average use of the real device class If the amount is less than the amount, the normalized device operating time of the actual device is less than 1. In other words, the normalized device operating time represents 1 as the average usage amount in the community regardless of the actual device classification.
実在機器が冷蔵庫であり、冷蔵庫が扉の開閉を検出する場合、機器使用量情報は、扉が開閉された回数や頻度等を示しても良い。実在機器が車である場合、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、その車に搭載されたカーナビゲーション装置や携帯端末装置との通信により、走行履歴等を受信しても良い。この場合、機器使用量情報は、走行履歴、位置情報、走行距離、使用頻度、使用時間等を示しても良い。実在機器が水道ポンプや灯油ポンプ等のポンプである場合、機器使用量情報は、それらのポンプが使用された回数や頻度等を示しても良い。
When the actual device is a refrigerator and the refrigerator detects opening / closing of the door, the device usage amount information may indicate the number of times the door is opened and closed, the frequency, and the like. When the real device is a car, the consumer demand management device 100 may receive a travel history or the like by communication with a car navigation device or a mobile terminal device mounted on the car. In this case, the device usage amount information may indicate travel history, position information, travel distance, use frequency, use time, and the like. When the actual device is a pump such as a water pump or a kerosene pump, the device usage amount information may indicate the number of times, the frequency, etc., of those pumps.
次にS304において、機器優先度決定部204は、機器の優先度を示す機器優先度情報を決定し、二次記憶装置105へ保存する機器優先度決定処理を行う。ここでの機器は、実在機器及び仮想機器の何れかである。機器優先度情報は、機器優先度を含む。機器優先度は、実在機器の優先度である実在機器優先度を含む。また、仮想機器が登録されている場合、機器優先度情報は、その仮想機器の優先度である仮想機器優先度を含む。機器優先度決定部204は、例えば30分に一回の頻度で定期的に機器優先度決定処理を実行し、機器優先度情報を更新する。機器優先度決定処理を行うまでの仮想機器優先度の初期値は0である。
In step S <b> 304, the device priority determination unit 204 determines device priority information indicating the device priority, and performs device priority determination processing to be stored in the secondary storage device 105. The device here is either a real device or a virtual device. The device priority information includes device priority. The device priority includes a real device priority that is a priority of the real device. When a virtual device is registered, the device priority information includes a virtual device priority that is a priority of the virtual device. For example, the device priority determination unit 204 periodically executes device priority determination processing at a frequency of once every 30 minutes, and updates the device priority information. The initial value of the virtual device priority until the device priority determination process is performed is zero.
以上が需要家施設管理処理のフローである。
The above is the customer facility management processing flow.
以下、S304の機器優先度決定処理の詳細について説明する。
Hereinafter, details of the device priority determination processing in S304 will be described.
図11は、機器優先度決定処理を示す。機器優先度決定部204は、定期的に優先度更新処理を実行する。なお、機器優先度決定部204は、新たな実在機器が需要家デマンド管理装置100に接続された場合や、実在機器が故障した場合等、実在機器の状態が変化したことを示す通知を受けた場合に、機器優先度決定処理を行っても良い。
FIG. 11 shows device priority determination processing. The device priority determination unit 204 periodically executes priority update processing. Note that the device priority determination unit 204 has received a notification indicating that the status of the real device has changed, such as when a new real device is connected to the customer demand management apparatus 100 or when the real device has failed. In this case, device priority determination processing may be performed.
S600において、機器優先度決定部204は、実在機器の中から未選択の一つの実在機器を選択して対象実在機器とし、対象実在機器が故障しているか否かを判定する。この故障は、需要家デマンド管理装置100に接続されていた対象実在機器が需要家デマンド管理装置100から切断され、需要家デマンド管理装置100の管理されなくなった場合を含んでも良い。例えば、対象実在機器は、所定期間の度に生存信号を需要家デマンド管理装置100へ送信する。この場合、機器故障検知部206は、所定期間の間に生存信号を受信できなかった場合に、対象実在機器が故障していると判定し、機器優先度決定部204へ通知する。
In S600, the device priority determination unit 204 selects one real device that has not been selected from the real devices as a target real device, and determines whether the target real device has failed. This failure may include a case where the target real device connected to the consumer demand management apparatus 100 is disconnected from the consumer demand management apparatus 100 and is no longer managed by the consumer demand management apparatus 100. For example, the target real device transmits a survival signal to the consumer demand management apparatus 100 every predetermined period. In this case, the device failure detection unit 206 determines that the target real device has failed when the survival signal cannot be received during the predetermined period, and notifies the device priority determination unit 204 of the failure.
S600の結果がNoである場合、機器優先度決定部204は、処理をS601へ移行させる。即ち、対象実在機器が需要家デマンド管理装置100へ登録されることにより、需要家デマンド管理装置100により管理されることになった場合である。
If the result of S600 is No, the device priority determination unit 204 moves the process to S601. That is, the target real device is registered in the consumer demand management device 100 and is managed by the consumer demand management device 100.
次にS601において、機器優先度決定部204は、二次記憶装置105に記憶されている対象実在機器の機器使用量情報に基づいて、対象実在機器の実在機器優先度を算出し、二次記憶装置105内のその実在機器優先度を算出結果へ書き換える。実在機器優先度は例えば、或る実在機器の正規化機器稼働時間にその実在機器の実在機器重み係数を掛けた値である。実在機器重み係数は例えば、実在機器分類毎に予め設定された重み係数である。需要家デマンド管理装置100のユーザは、実在機器優先度を高めたい実在機器分類に設定された実在機器重み係数を、他の実在機器分類に設定された実在機器重み係数より高く設定することにより、特定の実在機器分類の実在機器が有効になる可能性を高めることができる。
In step S <b> 601, the device priority determination unit 204 calculates the real device priority of the target real device based on the device usage information of the target real device stored in the secondary storage device 105. The actual device priority in the device 105 is rewritten to the calculation result. The real device priority is, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the normalized device operating time of a certain real device by the real device weight coefficient of the real device. The real device weighting factor is, for example, a weighting factor set in advance for each real device classification. The user of the consumer demand management apparatus 100 sets the actual device weight coefficient set in the actual device classification for which the real device priority is to be increased higher than the actual device weight coefficient set in the other actual device classification, The possibility that a real device of a specific real device classification becomes effective can be increased.
次にS602において、機器優先度決定部204は、対象実在機器の紐付け情報を二次記憶装置105から読み出す。
Next, in step S <b> 602, the device priority determination unit 204 reads the association information of the target real device from the secondary storage device 105.
次にS603において、機器優先度決定部204は、対象実在機器に紐付けられている仮想機器を対象仮想機器とし、対象仮想機器の仮想機器優先度について、対象実在機器の加入による増加分を算出する。ここで、機器優先度決定部204は、二次記憶装置105に記憶されている対象実在機器の実在機器優先度を用いて、対象仮想機器の仮想機器優先度を算出する。この仮想機器優先度は例えば、対象仮想機器に紐づいている全ての実在機器の実在機器優先度に、対象仮想機器の仮想機器重み係数を掛けた値の、総和である。仮想機器重み係数は例えば、需要家施設分類毎に予め設定された重み係数である。従って、増加分は例えば、加入された実在機器の実在機器優先度に、仮想機器の重み係数を掛けた値である。需要家デマンド管理装置100のユーザは、仮想機器優先度を高めたい需要家施設分類に設定された仮想機器重み係数を、他の需要家施設分類に設定された仮想機器重み係数より高く設定することにより、特定の需要家施設分類の他需要家施設が稼働する可能性を高めることができる。
In step S <b> 603, the device priority determination unit 204 sets the virtual device linked to the target real device as the target virtual device, and calculates the increase due to the subscription of the target real device with respect to the virtual device priority of the target virtual device. To do. Here, the device priority determination unit 204 calculates the virtual device priority of the target virtual device using the real device priority of the target real device stored in the secondary storage device 105. The virtual device priority is, for example, a sum of values obtained by multiplying the real device priority of all the real devices linked to the target virtual device by the virtual device weight coefficient of the target virtual device. The virtual device weight coefficient is, for example, a weight coefficient set in advance for each customer facility classification. Therefore, the increment is, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the real device priority of the subscribed real device by the weight coefficient of the virtual device. The user of the consumer demand management apparatus 100 sets the virtual device weighting factor set for the customer facility classification whose virtual device priority is desired to be higher than the virtual device weighting factor set for the other consumer facility classifications. By this, it is possible to increase the possibility that other customer facilities operate in a specific customer facility classification.
次にS604において、機器優先度決定部204は、二次記憶装置105内の機器優先度情報内の仮想機器優先度に増加分を加算し、二次記憶装置105内のその仮想機器優先度を算出結果へ書き換える。
In step S <b> 604, the device priority determination unit 204 adds the increment to the virtual device priority in the device priority information in the secondary storage device 105, and sets the virtual device priority in the secondary storage device 105. Rewrite the calculation result.
次にS605において、機器優先度決定部204は、全ての実在機器についてS600の処理を行ったか否かを判定する。
Next, in S605, the device priority determination unit 204 determines whether or not the processing of S600 has been performed for all the real devices.
S605の結果がNoである場合、機器優先度決定部204は、処理をS602へ移行させる。
If the result of S605 is No, the device priority determination unit 204 shifts the processing to S602.
S605の結果がYesである場合、機器優先度決定部204は、このフローを終了する。
If the result of S605 is Yes, the device priority determination unit 204 ends this flow.
S600の結果がYesである場合、機器優先度決定部204は、処理をS606へ移行させる。即ち、対象実在機器が故障していると判定された場合である。
If the result of S600 is Yes, the device priority determination unit 204 moves the process to S606. That is, it is a case where it is determined that the target real device is out of order.
次にS606において、機器優先度決定部204は、対象実在機器の機器使用量情報に基づいて、対象実在機器の実在機器優先度を算出し、二次記憶装置105内のその実在機器優先度を算出結果へ書き換える。ここでの対象実在機器の実在機器優先度は例えば、0とする。これは、一般的に、故障した実在機器に対する電力供給が無駄であると考えられるためである。
In step S <b> 606, the device priority determination unit 204 calculates the real device priority of the target real device based on the device usage information of the target real device, and sets the real device priority in the secondary storage device 105. Rewrite the calculation result. Here, the real device priority of the target real device is, for example, 0. This is because it is generally considered that power supply to a failed real device is useless.
次にS607において、機器優先度決定部204は、対象実在機器の紐付け情報を二次記憶装置105から読み出す。
Next, in step S <b> 607, the device priority determination unit 204 reads the association information of the target real device from the secondary storage device 105.
次にS608において、機器優先度決定部204は、対象実在機器に紐付けられている仮想機器を対象仮想機器とし、対象仮想機器の仮想機器優先度について、対象実在機器の離脱による減少分を算出する。この減少分は例えば、故障した対象実在機器の実在機器優先度に、対象仮想機器の重み係数を掛けた値である。
In step S <b> 608, the device priority determination unit 204 sets the virtual device linked to the target real device as the target virtual device, and calculates a decrease due to the detachment of the target real device with respect to the virtual device priority of the target virtual device. To do. This decrease is, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the real device priority of the target real device that has failed by the weight coefficient of the target virtual device.
次にS609において、機器優先度決定部204は、二次記憶装置105内の機器優先度情報内の仮想機器優先度から減少分を減算し、二次記憶装置105内のその仮想機器優先度を更新し、処理を前述のS605へ移行させる。
In step S <b> 609, the device priority determination unit 204 subtracts the decrease from the virtual device priority in the device priority information in the secondary storage device 105, and sets the virtual device priority in the secondary storage device 105. The process is updated, and the process proceeds to S605 described above.
以上が機器優先度決定処理のフローである。
The above is the device priority determination process flow.
図12は、実施例1における機器優先度情報を示す。機器優先度情報は、機器毎のエントリを有する。或る機器のエントリは、その機器のIDと、その機器の名称と、その機器の機器分類と、その機器の実在機器分類に設定された実在機器重み係数CAと、その機器の需要家施設分類に設定された仮想機器重み係数CBと、その機器の機器優先度とを含む。機器優先度は、実在機器優先度又は仮想機器優先度である。実在機器優先度は、CA×(正規化機器稼働時間)により求められる。この例において、車MCの正規化機器稼働時間が1.60、石油ストーブSTの正規化機器稼働時間が0.33、車MCと石油ストーブSTと冷蔵庫RFのための実在機器重み係数CAが10であるとする。この時、車MCの実在機器優先度は16、石油ストーブSTの実在機器優先度は3.3になる。
FIG. 12 shows device priority information in the first embodiment. The device priority information has an entry for each device. The entry of a certain device includes an ID of the device, a name of the device, a device classification of the device, a real device weight coefficient CA set in the real device classification of the device, and a customer facility classification of the device. Virtual device weighting coefficient CB set to, and the device priority of the device. The device priority is a real device priority or a virtual device priority. The real device priority is obtained by CA × (normalized device operating time). In this example, the normalized equipment operating time of the car MC is 1.60, the normalized equipment operating time of the oil stove ST is 0.33, and the real equipment weight coefficient CA for the car MC, the oil stove ST, and the refrigerator RF is 10 Suppose that At this time, the real device priority of the vehicle MC is 16, and the real device priority of the oil stove ST is 3.3.
また、仮想機器優先度は、(CB×その仮想機器に紐づけられた実在機器の実在機器優先度)の総和により求められる。この例において、ガソリンスタンドGSは、車MCと石油ストーブSTとに紐付けられており、ガソリンスタンドに設定された仮想機器重み係数CBが5であるとする。この時、ガソリンスタンドGSの仮想機器優先度は、CA×(車MCの実在機器優先度)+CB×(石油ストーブSTの実在機器優先度)=5×16+5×3.3=96.5になる。
Also, the virtual device priority is obtained by the sum of (CB × real device priority of the real device linked to the virtual device). In this example, it is assumed that the gas station GS is linked to the car MC and the oil stove ST, and the virtual device weight coefficient CB set to the gas station is 5. At this time, the virtual device priority of the gas station GS is CA × (real device priority of car MC) + CB × (real device priority of oil stove ST) = 5 × 16 + 5 × 3.3 = 96.5 .
以下、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110による処理について説明する。
Hereinafter, processing by the community demand management apparatus 110 will be described.
コミュニティデマンド管理装置110は、コミュニティへの需要家施設130の登録、需要家施設130の優先度の決定、コミュニティの電力逼迫の検知、需要家施設130に対する節電・停電依頼、等を行う。
The community demand management apparatus 110 performs registration of the customer facility 130 to the community, determination of priority of the customer facility 130, detection of community power shortage, power saving / power outage request to the customer facility 130, and the like.
需要家登録部210は、コミュニティへ需要家施設130を登録する。ここで需要家登録部210は、通信ネットワーク120を介して、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110へ新しい需要家デマンド管理装置100が接続された際に、その需要家デマンド管理装置100を示す需要家施設情報を二次記憶装置115に登録する。このとき、需要家登録部210は、接続された需要家デマンド管理装置100の名称や識別子である需要家名称を認識する。例えば、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110の管理者が入出力部113を介して需要家名称を入力しても良いし、需要家デマンド管理装置100又は需要家登録部210が予め需要家名称を決定するためのデータベースを有しており、これに従い需要家名称を決定してもよい。
The customer registration unit 210 registers the customer facility 130 in the community. Here, when a new customer demand management device 100 is connected to the community demand management device 110 via the communication network 120, the customer registration unit 210 displays customer facility information indicating the customer demand management device 100. Register in the secondary storage device 115. At this time, the consumer registration unit 210 recognizes the customer name that is the name and identifier of the connected consumer demand management apparatus 100. For example, the administrator of the community demand management device 110 may input a customer name via the input / output unit 113, or the customer demand management device 100 or the customer registration unit 210 determines the customer name in advance. The customer name may be determined according to this database.
需要家優先度決定部211は、需要家の優先度である需要家優先度を決定する需要家優先度決定処理を行う。ここで需要家優先度決定部211は、通信ネットワーク120を介して、需要家デマンド管理装置100の仮想機器優先度情報を取得し、需要家の優先度である需要家優先度を決定し、二次記憶装置115内の需要家優先度情報を更新する。需要家優先度情報は、複数の需要家の需要家優先度を含む。ここで需要家優先度決定部211は、仮想機器優先度の要求を需要家デマンド管理装置100へ送信しても良い。この場合、仮想機器優先度の要求に応じて、需要家デマンド管理装置100の通信部102は、仮想機器優先度をコミュニティデマンド管理装置110へ送信し、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110の通信部112は、この仮想機器優先度を受信する。
The customer priority determination unit 211 performs a customer priority determination process for determining a customer priority that is a priority of the customer. Here, the customer priority determination unit 211 acquires the virtual device priority information of the customer demand management device 100 via the communication network 120, determines the customer priority that is the priority of the customer, The customer priority information in the next storage device 115 is updated. The consumer priority information includes consumer priorities of a plurality of consumers. Here, the consumer priority determination unit 211 may transmit a request for virtual device priority to the consumer demand management apparatus 100. In this case, in response to the request for virtual device priority, the communication unit 102 of the consumer demand management device 100 transmits the virtual device priority to the community demand management device 110, and the communication unit 112 of the community demand management device 110 This virtual device priority is received.
以下、需要家優先度決定処理の詳細について説明する。
Hereinafter, details of the customer priority determination process will be described.
図13は、需要家優先度決定処理を示す。需要家優先度決定処理は、例えば、一時間に一回の頻度で定期的に実行され、需要家優先度情報を更新する。
FIG. 13 shows a consumer priority determination process. For example, the customer priority determination process is periodically executed at a frequency of once per hour to update the customer priority information.
S700において、需要家優先度決定部211は、コミュニティデマンド管理装置110により管理される全ての需要家施設130の需要家デマンド管理装置100から、仮想機器優先度を受信する。ここで需要家デマンド管理装置100は、機器情報の全てを送信しても良いし、機器情報のうち仮想機器のエントリのみを送信しても良い。また、機器情報が、実在機器の情報と仮想機器の情報とに分かれていても良い。
In S700, the customer priority determination unit 211 receives the virtual device priority from the customer demand management device 100 of all the customer facilities 130 managed by the community demand management device 110. Here, the consumer demand management apparatus 100 may transmit all of the device information, or may transmit only the virtual device entry in the device information. Also, the device information may be divided into real device information and virtual device information.
次にS710において、需要家優先度決定部211は、全ての需要家施設130の中から、未選択の一つの需要家施設130を選択して対象需要家施設とする。
Next, in S710, the consumer priority determination unit 211 selects one unselected consumer facility 130 from all the customer facilities 130 and sets it as the target consumer facility.
次にS711において、需要家優先度決定部211は、取得された仮想機器優先度に基づいて、対象需要家施設の需要家優先度を決定する。ここで需要家優先度決定部211は例えば、対象需要家施設に対応する複数の仮想機器優先度に需要家施設重み係数を掛けた値の総和を、対象需要家施設の需要家優先度とする。需要家施設重み係数は、需要家施設分類毎に予め設定された重み係数である。コミュニティデマンド管理装置110の管理者は、需要家優先度を高めたい需要家施設分類に設定された需要家施設重み係数を、他の需要家施設分類に設定された需要家施設重み係数より高く設定することにより、特定の需要家施設分類の需要家施設130が稼働する可能性を高めることができる。この需要家優先度の算出方法によれば、複数の需要家施設130から収集された仮想機器優先度は、対応する需要家施設130の需要家優先度に反映される。なお、需要家優先度の算出方法は、この実施例に限定されない。
Next, in S711, the customer priority determination unit 211 determines the customer priority of the target customer facility based on the acquired virtual device priority. Here, for example, the customer priority determination unit 211 sets a sum of values obtained by multiplying a plurality of virtual device priorities corresponding to the target customer facility by the customer facility weight coefficient as the customer priority of the target customer facility. . The customer facility weighting factor is a weighting factor set in advance for each customer facility classification. The administrator of the community demand management device 110 sets the customer facility weight coefficient set in the customer facility classification for which the customer priority is to be increased higher than the customer facility weight coefficient set in the other customer facility classification. By doing, the possibility that the customer facility 130 of a specific customer facility classification will operate can be increased. According to this consumer priority calculation method, virtual device priorities collected from a plurality of consumer facilities 130 are reflected in the consumer priorities of the corresponding customer facilities 130. The method for calculating the customer priority is not limited to this example.
次にS712において、需要家優先度決定部211は、需要家優先度の算出結果を、二次記憶装置115に保存する。
Next, in S <b> 712, the customer priority determination unit 211 stores the calculation result of the customer priority in the secondary storage device 115.
次にS713において、需要家優先度決定部211は、全ての需要家施設130についてS710の処理を行ったか否かを判定する。
Next, in S713, the customer priority determination unit 211 determines whether or not the processing of S710 has been performed for all the customer facilities 130.
S713の結果がNoである場合、需要家優先度決定部211は、処理をS710へ移行させる。
When the result of S713 is No, the customer priority determination unit 211 shifts the process to S710.
S713の結果がYesである場合、需要家優先度決定部211は、このフローを終了する。
If the result of S713 is Yes, the customer priority determination unit 211 ends this flow.
以上が需要家優先度決定処理のフローである。
The above is the flow of the customer priority determination process.
図14は、実施例1における需要家優先度情報を示す。需要家優先度情報は、コミュニティ内の需要家施設130毎のエントリを有する。或る需要家施設130のエントリは、その需要家施設130のID、その需要家施設130の名称、その需要家施設130の需要家施設重み係数CC、その需要家施設130の需要家優先度を含む。需要家施設130の名称は、その需要家施設130に対応する需要家の名称を示していても良い。例えば、需要家施設分類が一般家庭である場合、他需要家施設により仮想機器として登録される可能性が低いため、需要家優先度が他の需要家施設130より低くなる、又は0になる。
FIG. 14 shows customer priority information in the first embodiment. The customer priority information has an entry for each customer facility 130 in the community. The entry of a certain customer facility 130 includes the ID of the customer facility 130, the name of the customer facility 130, the customer facility weight coefficient CC of the customer facility 130, and the customer priority of the customer facility 130. Including. The name of the customer facility 130 may indicate the name of the customer corresponding to the customer facility 130. For example, when the customer facility classification is a general household, since the possibility of being registered as a virtual device by another customer facility is low, the customer priority is lower than that of the other customer facility 130 or 0.
電力逼迫検知部212は、コミュニティ内の電力需要が電力供給を上回る可能性が高いときに、それを検知する。電力逼迫検知部212は例えば、コミュニティ内の各需要家施設130の電力供給情報と電力需要情報を、需要家デマンド管理装置100から通信ネットワーク120を介して受信し、電力会社などのコミュニティ外の主体による電力供給情報と電力需要情報を受信する。次に電力逼迫検知部212は、コミュニティ内の各需要家施設130の電力需要量の総和とコミュニティ外の主体に対する電力需要量との和を総電力需要量として算出し、コミュニティ内の全ての需要家施設130の電力供給量の総和とコミュニティ外の主体に対する電力供給量の和とを総電力供給量として算出する。次に電力逼迫検知部212は、総電力要求量から総電力需要量を減算した値が、一定値を下回った場合、コミュニティにおける電力が逼迫していると判断する。
The power tightness detection unit 212 detects when there is a high possibility that the power demand in the community exceeds the power supply. The power tightness detection unit 212 receives, for example, power supply information and power demand information of each customer facility 130 in the community from the consumer demand management device 100 via the communication network 120, and an entity outside the community such as an electric power company. Receives power supply information and power demand information. Next, the power tightness detection unit 212 calculates the sum of the power demand amount of each customer facility 130 in the community and the power demand amount for a subject outside the community as the total power demand amount, and all the demands in the community are calculated. The sum of the power supply amount of the house facility 130 and the sum of the power supply amounts for the subjects outside the community are calculated as the total power supply amount. Next, when the value obtained by subtracting the total power demand from the total power demand is below a certain value, the power tightness detection unit 212 determines that the power in the community is tight.
優先依頼部213は、コミュニティの電力逼迫が検知された際に、優先的に消費電力削減依頼を出す需要家を選択し、選択された需要家へ消費電力削減依頼を送る。消費電力削減依頼は、節電依頼または停電依頼である。
The priority request unit 213 selects a consumer who preferentially issues a power consumption reduction request when a power shortage in the community is detected, and sends a power consumption reduction request to the selected consumer. The power consumption reduction request is a power saving request or a power outage request.
ここで電力逼迫検知部212において電力逼迫が検知されると、優先依頼部213は、需要家優先度を二次記憶装置115から取得し、需要家優先度条件を満たす需要家優先度に対応する需要家施設130の需要家デマンド管理装置100へ消費電力削減依頼を送信する。例えば、優先依頼部213は、需要家優先度が予め設定された優先度閾値以下の需要家施設130の需要家デマンド管理装置100に対して消費電力削減依頼を送信する。また、優先依頼部213は、総電力要求量及び総電力需要量に基づいて、電力逼迫の解消に必要な消費電力削減量を算出し、需要家優先度が下位の需要家施設130から順に消費電力削減量を満たすまで需要家施設130を選択し、選択された需要家施設130へ消費電力削減依頼を送信しても良い。このような消費電力削減依頼の送信方法によれば、需要家優先度が他の需要家施設130より低い需要家施設130へ優先的に消費電力削減依頼を送信することができる。なお、消費電力削減依頼の送信方法は、この実施例に限定されない。
Here, when power tightness is detected by the power tightness detection unit 212, the priority requesting unit 213 acquires the customer priority from the secondary storage device 115 and corresponds to the customer priority satisfying the customer priority condition. A power consumption reduction request is transmitted to the consumer demand management apparatus 100 of the consumer facility 130. For example, the priority request unit 213 transmits a power consumption reduction request to the customer demand management apparatus 100 of the customer facility 130 whose customer priority is equal to or lower than a preset priority threshold. Further, the priority request unit 213 calculates a power consumption reduction amount necessary for resolving the power tightness based on the total power demand amount and the total power demand amount, and consumes the consumer facilities in order from the customer facility 130 with the lower customer priority. The customer facility 130 may be selected until the power reduction amount is satisfied, and a power consumption reduction request may be transmitted to the selected customer facility 130. According to such a method for transmitting a power consumption reduction request, it is possible to transmit a power consumption reduction request preferentially to a customer facility 130 whose consumer priority is lower than that of other customer facilities 130. Note that the method of transmitting the power consumption reduction request is not limited to this embodiment.
例えば、コミュニティ内の多くの需要家施設130の需要家デマンド管理装置100がガソリンスタンドGSを仮想機器として登録した場合、コミュニティ内でガソリンスタンドGSに紐付けられる車や石油ストーブが多い場合、コミュニティ内でガソリンスタンドGSに紐付けられる車や石油ストーブの使用量が多い場合、等において、ガソリンスタンドGSの需要家優先度は高くなり、電力逼迫時にガソリンスタンドGSへの電力供給が維持される可能性が高くなる。
For example, when the customer demand management device 100 of many customer facilities 130 in the community registers the gas station GS as a virtual device, when there are many cars and oil stoves linked to the gas station GS in the community, If there is a large amount of vehicles or oil stoves that are linked to the gas station GS, the customer priority of the gas station GS will increase, and the power supply to the gas station GS may be maintained when power is tight. Becomes higher.
また、自需要家機器は、その使用に必要な資源を供給する他需要家施設に紐付けられても良い。例えば、自需要家機器が車である場合、資源はガソリンであり、資源を供給する他需要家施設はガソリンスタンドである。また、例えば、自需要家機器が石油ストーブである場合、資源は灯油であり、資源を供給する他需要家施設はガソリンスタンドである。また、例えば、自需要家機器が冷蔵庫である場合、資源は食料品であり、資源を供給する他需要家施設はスーパーマーケットである。
Also, the self-consumer equipment may be linked to other consumer facilities that supply the resources necessary for its use. For example, when the self-consumer device is a car, the resource is gasoline, and the other consumer facility that supplies the resource is a gas station. In addition, for example, when the own consumer device is an oil stove, the resource is kerosene, and the other consumer facility that supplies the resource is a gas station. Further, for example, when the self-consumer device is a refrigerator, the resource is a food product, and the other consumer facility that supplies the resource is a supermarket.
また、需要家機器106が分散型電源を含む場合、消費電力削減依頼を受けた需要家デマンド管理装置100は、分散型電源を用いて、需要家施設130の消費電力を削減することができる。
In addition, when the consumer device 106 includes a distributed power supply, the consumer demand management apparatus 100 that has received a power consumption reduction request can reduce the power consumption of the customer facility 130 using the distributed power supply.
従来の技術によれば、需要家による他需要家施設の利用頻度を計測することは困難である。一方、本実施例によれば、需要家施設130の需要家優先度を、その需要家施設130に関連する他の需要家施設130内の需要家機器106の使用率を示す値に基づいて決定する。需要家機器106の実在機器優先度は、コミュニティ内の他需要家施設の需要家優先度に関連する。例えば、もしガソリンスタンドが機能停止した場合、ガソリン車は、ガソリン供給が受けられなくなり、その機能が停止する為、ガソリン車の実在機器優先度とガソリンスタンドの需要家優先度との間には関連があるといえる。これは、他需要家施設であるガソリンスタンドが、自需要家機器であるガソリン車を介して、需要家により間接的に利用されるためである。
According to the conventional technology, it is difficult to measure the usage frequency of other customer facilities by the customer. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the consumer priority of the consumer facility 130 is determined based on a value indicating the usage rate of the consumer device 106 in another consumer facility 130 related to the consumer facility 130. To do. The actual device priority of the customer device 106 is related to the customer priority of other customer facilities in the community. For example, if a gas station stops functioning, the gasoline car will not be able to receive the supply of gasoline, and its function will stop, so there is a relationship between the actual equipment priority of the gasoline car and the customer priority of the gas station. It can be said that there is. This is because a gas station that is another customer facility is indirectly used by a customer via a gasoline vehicle that is a self-customer device.
本実施例によれば、地域内の複数の需要家施設130から仮想機器優先度を取得して集計することにより、地域内の各需要家施設130の優先度を、多くの需要家の生活習慣に合わせて決定する事が出来る。これにより、例えば電力需要のピークシフトを行う際は、その時々に合わせて多数の需要家に利用される需要家施設130の停電を防止する事ができ、コミュニティ内の需要家の日常生活への影響を最小限に抑えることができる。また、需要家デマンド管理装置100は、コミュニティにおいて自分と関連性の高い需要家施設130以外の仮想機器優先度を計算する必要がない為、需要家デマンド管理装置100の計算負荷の低減を図ることができる。また、需要家が日常的に利用する機器に関連する施設の優先度を増加させることができ、多数の需要家に利用される施設が電力抑制により機能停止することを防止することができる。言い換えれば、地域内の需要家の総意によって、電力供給が維持される施設を決定することができる。具体的には、自需要家機器の使用量が多いほど、その自需要家機器に関連付けられた他需要家施設への電力供給が維持される可能性が高くなる。
According to the present embodiment, virtual device priorities are obtained from a plurality of customer facilities 130 in the area and aggregated, so that the priority of each customer facility 130 in the area can be set as the lifestyle of many consumers. It can be decided according to. Thereby, for example, when performing a peak shift of power demand, it is possible to prevent a power outage of a customer facility 130 that is used by a large number of customers in accordance with the occasion, and to the daily life of consumers in the community. The impact can be minimized. Further, since the consumer demand management apparatus 100 does not need to calculate the priority of virtual devices other than the consumer facility 130 having high relevance to itself in the community, the calculation load of the consumer demand management apparatus 100 is reduced. Can do. Moreover, the priority of the facility relevant to the apparatus which a consumer uses every day can be increased, and it can prevent that the facility utilized for many consumers stops functioning by electric power suppression. In other words, the facility where the power supply is maintained can be determined by the consensus of consumers in the region. Specifically, as the usage amount of the customer device increases, the possibility that the power supply to other customer facilities associated with the customer device is maintained increases.
本実施例では、実施例1の電力需給調整システムにおける需要家施設130が、工場やその関連施設である場合について説明する。
In the present embodiment, a case where the customer facility 130 in the power supply and demand adjustment system of the first embodiment is a factory or a related facility will be described.
