<Configuration and basic operation>
[Power management system]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a power management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a power management system 201 includes a power management apparatus (display processing apparatus) 101, one or a plurality of facility side apparatuses 102, and a display apparatus 151.

  The facility apparatus 102 is an energy resource in a power generation facility or a power demand facility such as a factory, an office, or a general household. Specifically, the facility side apparatus 102 is a load apparatus such as a power generation apparatus such as a solar power generation apparatus or a wind power generation apparatus, a storage battery, or an air conditioner.

  The power management apparatus 101 is operated by a distributor such as an aggregator, and manages the power generation amount, the storage amount, or the power consumption amount in the facility apparatus 102 by communicating with one or more facility apparatuses 102.

  The display device 151 is a device that accepts input of information by a touch panel method and displays a screen, for example. The display device 151 includes a communication unit 21 that transmits and receives information, a display processing unit 22 that displays a screen, and a display unit 23 such as a liquid crystal monitor.

  When the administrator or the like of the power management apparatus 101 inputs information to an operation unit (not shown) of the display device 151, the communication unit 21 transmits the input information to the power management apparatus 101.

  For example, the communication unit 21 acquires screen information related to the screen displayed on the display unit 23, and outputs the acquired screen information to the display processing unit 22.

  Upon receiving the screen information from the communication unit 21, the display processing unit 22 displays a screen having contents based on the screen information on the display unit 23.

  The power management apparatus 101 may be configured to include some or all of the communication unit 21, the display processing unit 22, and the display unit 23 in the display device 151.

  Instead of the display device 151, a terminal device having a monitor, for example, may be provided that transmits and receives information to and from the power management device 101 by wireless communication.

[Power management device]
The power management apparatus 101 includes an acquisition unit 11, a management unit 12, a storage unit 13, a display processing unit 14, and a transmission unit (notification unit) 15.

  For example, the administrator of the power management apparatus 101 determines a target amount for adjusting power consumption or a target amount for adjusting power supply to the power system, and inputs the determined target amount to an operation unit (not shown) of the display device 151. . In this case, the communication unit 21 transmits target amount information indicating the input target amount to the power management apparatus 101.

  Note that the adjustment of power consumption means reducing the power consumption or increasing the power consumption. In addition, adjustment of power supply to the power system means reducing the power supply amount to the power system or increasing the power supply amount to the power system.

  The target amount input by the administrator may be a numerical value such as “15 MW” or a numerical range such as “10 MW or more”. Further, the administrator may input the cost for adjustment instead of the target amount for adjustment, or may input both the target amount and cost for adjustment.

  For example, the display processing unit 14 in the power management apparatus 101 receives the target amount information transmitted from the communication unit 21 and outputs the received target amount information to the management unit 12.

  When the management unit 12 receives the target amount information from the display processing unit 14, for example, the management unit 12 outputs the target amount information to the acquisition unit 11 and instructs the acquisition unit 11 to acquire candidate information. The candidate information indicates an adjustable amount for adjusting the power consumption or adjusting the power supply to the power system, and one or more candidates for the cost for realizing the adjustable amount.

  For example, the acquisition unit 11 notifies the external server of the target amount indicated by the target amount information received from the management unit 12 and acquires candidate information from the external server. The candidate indicated by the candidate information includes, for example, a value close to the target amount or an adjustable amount having the same value. In addition, the acquisition part 11 may create candidate information itself instead of acquiring candidate information from an external server.

  Then, the acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired candidate information to the management unit 12, and the management unit 12 outputs the candidate information received from the acquisition unit 11 to the display processing unit 14. In addition, the management unit 12 stores the candidate information in the storage unit 13.

  Upon receiving candidate information from the management unit 12, the display processing unit 14 performs processing for displaying one or more candidates on the display unit 23 based on the candidate information.

  At this time, for example, the display processing unit 14 displays each candidate in association with a period based on a transaction time division in a market for buying and selling power. Specifically, the display processing unit 14 displays, for example, a graphic indicating each candidate at a corresponding position in a time table divided in units of 30 minutes, which is a time division of transactions in the market.

  More specifically, for example, the display processing unit 14 creates screen information indicating the coordinates and shape of each candidate graphic on the screen based on the candidate information, and transmits the created screen information to the display device 151.

  The communication unit 21 in the display device 151 receives the screen information transmitted from the display processing unit 14 and outputs the received screen information to the display processing unit 22.

  Upon receiving the screen information from the communication unit 21, the display processing unit 22 displays one or more graphics on the display unit 23 based on the screen information, for example.

  Note that the display processing unit 22 in the display device 151 may receive candidate information from the display processing unit 14 in the power management apparatus 101 via the communication unit 21 and create screen information by itself based on the received candidate information.

  The display processing unit 14 also creates screen information indicating coordinates and the like on the display target screen, and transmits the created screen information to the display device 151 in the same manner when displaying other than the candidate graphics. The communication unit 21 in the display device 151 receives the screen information transmitted from the display processing unit 14 and outputs the received screen information to the display processing unit 22. And the display process part 22 will display a display target on the display part 23 based on the said screen information, for example, if screen information is received from the communication part 21. FIG.

  For example, the administrator of the power management apparatus 101 refers to the figure on the screen displayed on the display unit 23 to grasp the adjustable amount and cost of each candidate, and selects one of the candidates. Then, for example, the manager or the like determines the adjustable amount of the selected candidate as the amount of power that can be traded with the general electric utility. Further, the manager or the like determines, for example, a price obtained by adding profit or the like to the cost of the selected candidate as a desired transaction price.

  Then, the manager or the like notifies the market of the determined amount of power that can be traded and the desired price by the market specified time when the power is bought and sold.

  Then, for example, when a contract with a general electric power company is established with the amount of electric power that can be traded and the desired transaction price notified by the manager, the manager or the like is notified of the execution of the contract and the contents of the contract.

  Then, the administrator or the like, for example, operates the display device 151 to select a candidate graphic that is the basis for determining the amount of power that can be traded and the desired transaction price from among a plurality of figures on the screen. If it performs, the communication part 21 in the display apparatus 151 will transmit the operation information which shows the content of the said operation to the power management apparatus 101. FIG.

  When the display processing unit 14 in the power management apparatus 101 receives the operation information transmitted from the communication unit 21, the display processing unit 14 highlights, for example, a graphic selected by the administrator or the like based on the operation information. In addition, the display processing unit 14 outputs the operation information to the management unit 12.

  Upon receiving the operation information from the display processing unit 14, the management unit 12 manages the operation based on the operation information and the past adjustment actual amount for each facility-side device 102 stored in the storage unit 13 in advance. One or a plurality of request targets for realizing the adjustable amount and cost of the candidate indicated by the graphic selected by the person or the like are determined from among the facility side devices 102 that are the management targets of the own power management device 101.

  Further, the management unit 12 determines a period for adjustment (hereinafter simply referred to as “adjustment period”) and an adjustment amount for each request target.

  Then, for example, the management unit 12 stores, in the storage unit 13, request target information indicating one or more determined request targets and the adjustment period and adjustment amount for each request target.

  When the administrator or the like operates the display device 151 to input a request information transmission instruction indicating the adjustment period and the adjustment amount, the communication unit 21 in the display device 151 transmits the transmission instruction information indicating the transmission instruction. Is transmitted to the power management apparatus 101.

  When the display processing unit 14 receives the transmission instruction information transmitted from the communication unit 21 of the display device 151, the display processing unit 14 outputs the received transmission instruction information to the management unit 12.

  Upon receiving the transmission instruction information from the display processing unit 14, the management unit 12 reads request target information stored in the storage unit 13 and outputs the read request target information to the transmission unit 15, for example.

  Upon receiving the request target information from the management unit 12, the transmission unit 15 transmits request information indicating the corresponding adjustment period and adjustment amount to each facility apparatus 102 that is the request target, based on the request target information.

  When the facility apparatus 102 receives the request information transmitted from the power management apparatus 101, for example, the facility apparatus 102 adjusts its own power generation amount, power consumption amount, or power storage amount during the adjustment period indicated by the received request information. The adjustment amount indicated by the information is realized.

  The power management apparatus 101 may be configured to perform processing for acquiring candidate information indicating one or more candidates and displaying each candidate in association with a period based on the acquired candidate information. The structure which does not perform transmission etc. of may be sufficient.

  In addition, at least one of the acquisition unit 11 and the display processing unit 14 may be provided separately from the power management apparatus 101 as a display processing device. In such a case, the display processing device may further include some or all of the units in the display device 151.
