Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a system for setting a maintenance fee and an insurance fee for mechanical equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When selling machinery and equipment, a maintenance contract is exchanged between a manufacturer as a manufacturer station that manufactures the machinery and a machinery equipment user as a purchaser of the machinery and equipment user station. In the maintenance contract, the maintenance fee for the maintenance performed by the manufacturer is mainly determined based on the following conditions. That is, the failure rate (λm) specific to the mechanical equipment, the number of years of use of the mechanical equipment (useful years correction coefficient Ky, see FIG. 5), the recovery time in case of failure (Tr)
It is. However, in this method, the same maintenance fee will be applied if the same type of machine equipment has been used for the same number of years.

On the other hand, when purchasing machinery and equipment, the machinery and equipment user as a machinery and equipment user station often insures the machinery and equipment in preparation for the occurrence of damage. The insurance premium calculation method in that case is also set mainly based on the above conditions (1) to (4) .If the same type of machinery and equipment have the same age, the same insurance premium is applied. become.

[0004] Therefore, neither the maintenance fee nor the insurance fee reflects the operation rate, the operation method, the operation history up to that point, etc. based on the operation status of the machine equipment. In addition, when the machine equipment is remotely monitored, a failure detection time is shortened, but its effect (for example, improvement in operation rate) is not considered.

[0005] However, the operation of the machine equipment varies depending on the user of the machine equipment to be handled, and the machine equipment is not always operated in compliance with the recommended operating conditions such as the rated value and the design upper limit value. That is, depending on the situation, there is a case where the operation at the output at the performance limit, the operation at a high frequency that is not assumed in the design, the operation with the output fluctuation, and the like have to be performed. When these are performed in the operation process of the machinery and equipment, the failure occurrence rate of the machinery and equipment becomes higher as compared with the general operation. Therefore, if the same maintenance fee and insurance premium as described above are applied, unexpected losses may occur for the manufacturer performing maintenance and the insurance company as an insurance company bureau that pays insurance claims. .

[0006] The factors that increase the occurrence rate of such failures will be described with reference to the operating state of a gas turbine as an example in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 shows the relationship between the output of the gas turbine and the failure occurrence rate. The horizontal axis is the output (%) of the gas turbine, which is a value standardized at the maximum output. The vertical axis is the failure occurrence rate (%). In the operation of the gas turbine, the rated output value (arrow on the left side in the figure) is set, and as long as the gas turbine is operated below that value, the failure occurrence rate remains at a low value (range). However, the failure occurrence rate tends to increase (in the range) when the output value exceeds the rated value, and the output further rises. (Range) Normally, a rated output value is set as an output capable of continuous operation, and the maximum output is set to an appropriate value between (within) the rated output value and the limit value of the output, thereby providing a performance guarantee range. Therefore, the operation of machinery and equipment in the range of or will lead to an increase in the failure rate, and the same maintenance fee and insurance premium will be paid by the machinery and equipment operated in the range as the machinery and equipment operated in that range. It is not preferable that it is set.

FIG. 12 shows the relationship between the number of times the gas turbine is started and stopped and the failure rate. The horizontal axis represents the number of times the gas turbine was started and stopped per unit period (for example, month)
Times / period), and the vertical axis is the failure occurrence rate (%).
In gas turbine operation, unit period (for example, month)
The number of starts / stops per hit is assumed as a design upper limit (arrow on the left side in the figure) at the design stage. Therefore, for the start and stop below that value, the failure occurrence rate remains at a low value (
Range). However, the failure occurrence rate tends to increase (in the range) when the number of times of start / stop exceeds the design upper limit value, and the number of times of start / stop further increases. , The failure rate becomes very high (in the range). Therefore, an increase in the number of start / stop times up to and within the range leads to an increase in the failure occurrence rate. It is not preferable that it is set.

FIG. 13 shows the relationship between the output change rate of the gas turbine and the failure occurrence rate. The horizontal axis represents the output change rate of the gas turbine (the rate of change in output per unit time (for example, time),%). The vertical axis is the failure occurrence rate (%).
In the operation of the gas turbine, the output change rate is assumed to be a design upper limit value (left arrow in the figure) at the design stage.
Therefore, for output changes below that value, the failure occurrence rate remains at a low value (range). However, the failure occurrence rate tends to increase (in the range) when the output change rate exceeds the design upper limit value, and the output change rate further increases, and the output change exceeds the limit value of the change rate (the right arrow in the figure). And the failure occurrence rate becomes extremely high (range). Therefore, output fluctuations in the range of and will lead to an increase in the failure rate. It is not preferable that it is set.

As described above, the operation at the output at the performance limit, the high frequency of starting / stopping and the output fluctuation not assumed in the design, and the machine equipment performed in the range shown in FIGS. Operation, the failure rate is clearly higher than that of the machinery that was operated in the range. Nevertheless, if the same kind of machinery and equipment has been used for the same number of years, applying the same maintenance fee and insurance premium will cause unexpected losses for manufacturers and insurance companies. Probability is high. Therefore, a machine facility maintenance fee setting system and a machine facility insurance fee setting system that avoid the above problem and can be satisfied by the machine facility user are required.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a machine and equipment maintenance fee setting system and a machine and equipment insurance fee setting system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present embodiment, the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system and the machine equipment insurance premium setting system used for the gas turbine of the machine equipment user will be described as an example. It can be applied to other mechanical equipment.

First, the basic concept regarding the calculation of the maintenance fee and the insurance fee for the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system and the machine equipment insurance fee setting system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. In the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system and the machine equipment insurance fee setting system, the maintenance fee (the same applies hereinafter for the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system) and the insurance fee (the In the case of the system, the same applies to the following), which is different from the conventional maintenance fee and insurance fee setting methods. The manufacturer of the machinery and equipment (in the case of the machinery and equipment maintenance fee setting system,
The same shall apply hereinafter) and the insurance company in charge of insurance for machinery and equipment (In the case of the machinery and equipment insurance premium setting system, the same applies hereinafter) to check the normal operation status of machinery and equipment. The output at the time, the number of start / stop, and the output change rate per unit time are used. For each value, the manufacturer and the insurance company inquire of the machinery and equipment user who uses the machinery and equipment to collect data, perform the following maintenance fee and insurance fee calculation process (-), and perform the maintenance fee and insurance fee calculation. Determine insurance premiums.

First, the output correction coefficient Kp is calculated. FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the output of the equipment (gas turbine) and the correction coefficient Kp. The horizontal axis is the output (%) of the gas turbine, and is a value standardized at the maximum output. The vertical axis is the output correction coefficient Kp for calculating the failure rate. When the output is lower than the rated value, Kp is less than 1.0, indicating that the failure rate may be lower than in the case of operation at the rated value. When the output is greater than the rated value (corresponding to the rated value in FIG. 11), Kp is greater than 1.0, indicating that the failure rate may be higher than in the case of operation at the rated value. ing. Kp is determined by detecting the maximum output value within a preset period (for example, one month), and calculating the value of Kp at that output value from the relationship between the output shown in FIG. 2 and the correction coefficient Kp. Perform in.

Next, the start / stop frequency correction coefficient Ks is calculated. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the number of start and stop of the equipment (gas turbine) and the correction coefficient Ks. The horizontal axis represents the number of times of starting and stopping of the gas turbine (the number of times of starting and stopping, times / period), and the vertical axis represents the number of starting and stopping times correction coefficient Ks for calculating the failure rate.
When the number of start / stop times is lower than the design reference value (corresponding to the design upper limit value in FIG. 12), Ks is less than 1.0, and the failure rate is lower than in the case of operation using the design reference value. It shows the possibility. When the number of start / stop times is greater than the design reference value, Ks is greater than 1.0, indicating that the failure rate may be higher than in the case of operation using the design reference value. Ks is determined by detecting the number of starts and stops within a preset period (for example, one month), and determining the value of Ks at the number of starts and stops from the relationship between the number of starts and stops and the correction coefficient Ks shown in FIG. It is done by calculating.

Next, the output change rate correction coefficient Kr is calculated. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the output change rate of the equipment (gas turbine) and the correction coefficient Kr. The horizontal axis represents the output change rate of the gas turbine (the rate of change in output per unit time (for example, time),%). The vertical axis is the output fluctuation rate correction coefficient Kr for calculating the failure rate. When the output fluctuation rate is lower than the design reference value (corresponding to the design upper limit value in FIG. 13), Kr is less than 1.0, and the failure rate is lower than in the case of operation at the design reference value. It shows the possibility. If the start / stop count is larger than the design reference value, Kr
Is larger than 1.0, which indicates that the failure rate may be higher than in the case of operation at the design reference value. K
The determination of r is performed by detecting the maximum output fluctuation rate within a preset period (for example, one month), and determining the value of Kr at the output fluctuation rate as a relation between the output fluctuation rate and the correction coefficient Kr shown in FIG. It is performed by calculating from.

Next, the failure rate λ of the mechanical equipment is calculated. The failure rate of the mechanical equipment (gas turbine) is calculated based on the above three correction coefficients (output correction coefficient Kp, start / stop number correction coefficient Ks,
Output fluctuation rate correction coefficient Kr), the failure rate λm specific to the gas turbine, and the years of use of the gas turbine correction coefficient Ky
And a coefficient a (correcting the difference between the actual failure rate numerical value and λ) set in advance by the following equation (1). λ = a · Ky · Kp · Ks · Kr · λm (1) (where a is a positive constant) That is, the failure rate λ is the failure rate λm inherent to the equipment.
In addition to the number of years of use and the number of years of use (useful years of correction coefficient Ky), the failure rate accurately reflects the actual operation state in consideration of the operation status of the equipment. FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the years of use and the years of use correction coefficient Ky. The horizontal axis represents the number of years of use (years), and the vertical axis represents the years of use correction coefficient Ky. Assuming that the unused time is 1.0, Ky increases as the years of use increase, that is, the failure occurrence probability increases.

Then, the repair time T is calculated. The repair time T, which is the time from the occurrence of the failure to the completion of the repair of the failure portion, is based on the time Td required for detection from the occurrence of the failure of the mechanical equipment (gas turbine) and the time Tr required for restoring the failure of the gas turbine. Is calculated by the following equation (2). T = Td + Tr (2) The repair rate μ is calculated using the repair time T by the following equation (3). μ = 1 / T (3) That is, as the repair time T, not only the normal Tr but also T
The value of d cannot be ignored. However, since the machinery is constantly monitored remotely, occurrence of an accident can be detected in a very short time. Therefore, Td becomes very short and can be ignored for Tr. That is, the repair time T can be reduced. It is the repair rate μ
It can be understood that it leads to improvement of

Next, the operation rate prediction value A is calculated.
The operation rate prediction value A of the mechanical equipment (gas turbine) in consideration of the failure rate is calculated by the following equation (4) based on the failure rate λ calculated by and the repair rate μ calculated by. A = μ / (λ + μ) (4) That is, the operating rate prediction value A is the failure rate λ that accurately reflects the operation status of the machinery and equipment, and the repair rate μ that has been improved by remote monitoring for a short period of time for failure detection. The value is reflected. In other words, it can be seen that the operation rate forecast that more accurately reflects the operation status of the mechanical equipment is made.

Next, the amount of loss D is calculated. The loss due to the failure of the mechanical equipment (gas turbine) is represented by a loss coefficient Kg specific to the mechanical equipment, which represents the amount of loss per 1% of the operation rate;
Is calculated by the following equation (5) based on the operating rate prediction value A calculated in step (1). D = Kg (1−A) (5) FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the loss amount D due to the failure of the mechanical equipment and the operation rate prediction value A. The horizontal axis is the operating rate prediction value A
(%), And the vertical axis is the loss amount D. Occupancy rate forecast value 1
In the case of 00%, the loss amount D = 0, but it can be seen that the loss amount D increases as the operation rate prediction value A decreases. The calculation of the loss amount D is performed based on the operating rate prediction value A calculated as described above, and is a loss amount estimate that more accurately reflects the actual operating condition of the mechanical equipment.

Finally, the next maintenance fee E (the same applies to the machine and equipment maintenance fee setting system, the same applies hereinafter) and insurance premium C (the same applies to the machine and equipment insurance fee setting system, the same applies hereinafter) are calculated. The next calculation of the maintenance fee and the insurance fee for the mechanical equipment (gas turbine) is determined based on the relationship between the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C set based on the loss amount D obtained in the above and the operation rate predicted value A. You.

FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C of the mechanical equipment and the estimated operating rate A. The horizontal axis is the occupancy rate predicted value A (%), and the vertical axis is the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C.
(And loss amount D). The maintenance fee E is basically composed of the maintenance cost (= loss D) and the maintenance cost (e> 0), which is the cost for the management of the maintenance business, and is shown in FIG. The graph shows the maintenance fee E.
Premium C is basically calculated from net premium (= loss D), which is the cost for paying insurance claims, and additional premium (d> 0), which is the cost for operating the insurance business. Since this holds, the graph of the insurance premium C shown in FIG. 6 is obtained.
In the case of the occupancy rate prediction value of 100%, the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C become minimum values, but as the occupancy rate prediction value A decreases, the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C increase. Also, in FIG. 6, the graphs of the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C overlap,
It does not necessarily have to overlap. It suffices that the relationship with the operating rate predicted value A has a tendency of falling to the right as shown in FIG.

The calculation of the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C is carried out by obtaining the values of the maintenance fee E and the insurance fee C corresponding to the above-mentioned occupancy rate predicted value A calculated in FIG.
This is based on the operating rate prediction value A calculated as described above, and is a loss amount prediction that more accurately reflects the actual operating condition of the mechanical equipment.

In the above process, the machinery and equipment
When remote monitoring is constantly performed, the occurrence of an accident can be detected in an extremely short time. However, remote monitoring is performed once a month.
In this case, the time Td required for detection from the occurrence of the accident increases. As a result, the restoration rate (3) becomes worse, and as a result, the loss (8) becomes very high (the later the accident is found even at the actual site, the larger the loss becomes). For this reason, if a contract is made to perform remote monitoring at all times during the operation of machinery and equipment, the time required for detection from the occurrence of an accident Td
Is greatly reduced, and the loss amount is kept low. That is, the setting of the maintenance fee and the insurance fee can be kept low.

The increase in the failure rate due to the number of years of use is K
Since y is reflected in the failure rate, it is not always necessary to consider the years of use in the data for calculating Kp, Ks, and Kr (corresponding to the graphs in FIGS. 2 to 4). However, depending on the type of mechanical equipment, there is a possibility that one or more items of the output, the number of starts / stops, and the output change rate are more sensitive depending on the number of years elapsed. If it is known in advance or if it is found in the middle, it is also possible to change the data for calculating the corresponding correction coefficient (Kp, Ks, Kr) based on the age.

When the output value deviates significantly from the design standard value of the rated value, the number of times of starting and stopping, and the output change rate, data of correction coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr) of another system is used. It is also possible. For example, according to the degree of deviation, the correction coefficient is increased by 10%, 20%, or 30%. Conversely, when the degree of deviation is very small, it is also possible to slightly reduce the correction coefficient according to the degree of deviation so that the correction standard does not become too strict.

The graph showing the relationship between the maintenance fee E, the insurance fee C or the loss amount D, and the occupancy rate predicted value A in FIG. C is 5
Takes three values, but is not necessarily limited to five. Maintenance fee = Maintenance cost (= Loss) + Maintenance cost, Insurance premium = Net premium (= Loss) + Additional premium in principle. And the minimum maintenance fee and insurance fee when A is 100%. (B) Occupancy rate predicted value A = A1
If the maintenance fee and the insurance premium at the time of A are S1, and the maintenance fee and the insurance premium at the time of A = A2 are S2, when A1 <A2, S1 ≧
It suffices if it is determined that the two conditions of S2 are satisfied. The condition (a) is that if the operating conditions of the machine equipment are very severe, there is a high possibility of a failure, and the operating rate predicted value A
Is close to 0%, so it will have the highest maintenance and insurance premiums, and if the operating conditions are not harsh and the expected occupancy rate of 100% is expected, the lowest maintenance and insurance premiums will be obtained. I have. The condition (b) is based on the principle that the more severe the operating conditions, the higher or the same the maintenance fee and insurance fee. The graph satisfying the conditions (a) and (b) is set according to the type and size of the mechanical equipment.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described in detail using 0. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7,
FIG. 7 shows a process flow of the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system of the present invention. This represents the above-mentioned maintenance fee (and insurance fee) calculation process (、), and the maintenance fee is calculated accordingly. First, at a stage before the start (S101), the manufacturer 22 and the machine user 1
No. 2 has made a maintenance contract for the machine equipment maintenance fee setting system of the present invention. The maintenance fee setting period (maintenance fee calculation and maintenance target period set in advance), the maintenance fee calculation method (the maintenance fee (and insurance premium) calculation process described above), the correction coefficient, the operation of the mechanical equipment 3 Contracts concerning the relationship between the rate prediction value A and the maintenance fee E (corresponding to FIG. 6) and the like are also included.

Also, according to the contract for obtaining information on the operation status of the machine equipment 3 (gas turbine) in the maintenance contract, the gas turbine (machine equipment 3) of the machine user 12 communicates with the maker remote monitoring system 23 of the maker 22. They are connected by a line G29. Then, the manufacturer remote monitoring system 23 can acquire data on the operation status of the gas turbine via the communication line G29 by issuing a request to the gas turbine.

After the operation of the gas turbine is started, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25 acquires data on the operation status from the gas turbine at preset intervals (in this embodiment, every month) (FIG. 7). , S102). The data relating to the operation status is the output during operation, the number of starts and stops, and the output change rate per unit time in the gas turbine. In the case of this embodiment, data for one month is acquired.
The acquired data is stored in the maker device information database 26.
To memorize it.

Next, based on these data, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25 sends the correction coefficients (Kp, K
s, Kr) is determined (S103). The determination is performed by the processes shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, respectively.

The process for determining Kp (FIG. 8) will be described. First, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25 reads one month of output information from the manufacturer device information database 26 (S202). Then, the maximum output for the month is detected from the data (S203). next,
From the relationship between the output and the output correction coefficient Kp shown in FIG.
Kp at the maximum output of the month is calculated and determined (S20)
4). Then, Kp is output (S205), and the process ends (S206).

Next, the process of determining Ks (FIG. 9) will be described. First, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25
The information on the number of times of start / stop for one month is read from the maker device information database 26 (S302). Then, from these data, the number of starts and stops for the month is detected (S30).
3). Next, from the relationship between the number of start / stop and the number of start / stop correction coefficient Ks shown in FIG. 3, Ks at the number of start / stop of the month is calculated and determined (S304). Then, Ks is output (S
305), the process ends (S306).

Next, the process of determining Kr (FIG. 10) will be described. First, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25
Reads information on the output fluctuation rate for one month from the maker device information database 26 (S402). Then, the maximum output fluctuation rate for the month is detected from the data (S403). Next, Kr corresponding to the maximum output fluctuation rate for the month is calculated and determined from the relationship between the output fluctuation rate and the output fluctuation rate correction coefficient Kr shown in FIG. 4 (S404). Then, Kr is output (S405), and the process ends (S406).

The maker remote monitoring server 25 calculates and determines the correction coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr) as described above, as well as the gas turbine-specific failure rate λm stored in the maker equipment information database 26, The elapsed years correction coefficient Ky and the recovery time Tr at the time of failure are acquired (S1).
03).

Based on the obtained Kp, Ks, Kr, λm, and Ky, the above formula (1) of the maintenance charge calculation process is as follows:
The failure rate λ of the gas turbine is calculated from λ = a · Ky · Kp · Ks · Kr · λm (S104). However,
a is a preset positive real number constant.

On the other hand, the repair time T in which the gas turbine must be stopped for repair or the like when a failure occurs is calculated by the above formula (2) of the maintenance charge calculation process: T = Td + T
r (S105). Here, Td is the time required for detection from the occurrence of a failure, and Tr is the time required for recovery from the failure. Here, Td can be neglected for Tr because it is extremely short by remote monitoring of the gas turbine by the equipment user 12.

Next, the operation rate prediction value A, which is the predicted value of the operation rate of the gas turbine in the next month, is calculated by the above-mentioned equation (4) of the maintenance charge calculation process: A = μ / (λ + μ) (S106). . Here, the repair rate μ is calculated by the following equation (3): μ =
1 / T.

Finally, the next maintenance fee E for the gas turbine is determined. Occupancy rate predicted value A calculated as described above
As a result, the next (next month) maintenance fee E is determined from the relationship between the maintenance fee E and the operation rate prediction value A shown in FIG. 6 (S1).
07). Then, the process for calculating the maintenance fee ends (S108). In addition, the data regarding FIGS.
It is held in the maker device information database 26.

As described above, the maintenance fee E is determined by exchanging information on the operation status between the gas turbine and the manufacturer remote monitoring system 23 based on the maintenance contract between the machine equipment user 12 and the manufacturer 22. The information is held in the maker device information database 26.
Then, based on the maintenance fee E, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25 sends a maintenance fee payment instruction to the cost management system 24.
To the cost management server 27 of.

The expense management server 27 sends a maintenance fee for the following month to the accounting server 14 of the machine equipment user 12 via the communication line J32 according to the payment method set based on the contract between the manufacturer 22 and the machine equipment user 12. Send payment request notice. The accounting server 14 pays a maintenance fee for the next month to the manufacturer 22 in response to the notification. As the payment method, for the payment cycle, for example, monthly payment, semi-annual payment, and the like are paid according to the contract. Regarding the sending of the maintenance fee, the maker 22, the machine equipment user 12, and the financial intermediary office 13 make an e-commerce contract using a communication line in advance, and the financial intermediary office 13 Make it easier to go through electronic procedures. For example, the maker 22 and the machine user 12 both open an account with the financial intermediary office 13. Then, by using the communication line I31, the machine equipment user 12
Sends an instruction for payment to the financial intermediary office 13 and transfers the maintenance fee to the account of the financial intermediary office of the manufacturer 22. The financial intermediary station 13 notifies the payment information to the cost management server 27 of the machine equipment user 12 via the communication line H30.

The above operation is performed at intervals (for example, one month) preset by a maintenance contract, and
2 allows the maker 22 to pay a maintenance fee. This maintenance fee is paid continuously within the maintenance period based on the maintenance contract. However, the period can be changed by contract or the like.

With the above operation of the present invention, the manufacturer 22
In addition, it is possible to set a maintenance fee that is profitable for both the user and the machine equipment user 12. In other words, machine equipment user 1
The second is that, if the machine equipment 3 (gas turbine) is not subjected to severe operation, the operation rate of the machine equipment 3 is improved, and the maintenance fee may be reduced. is there. In addition, since the mechanical equipment user 12 tries to use the mechanical equipment 3 as expected at the time of designing the manufacturer in order to reduce the maintenance fee expenditure, the occurrence of failure of the mechanical equipment 3 is extremely low. . Accordingly, the manufacturer 22 can significantly reduce the probability of occurrence of the payment of the maintenance cost, and can perform the maintenance business more soundly.

In this embodiment, the output during operation, the number of times of starting and stopping,
All three types of correction coefficients (Kp.Ks, Kr) relating to the output change rate per unit time are used. However, even when all of these values are not used, the operation can be performed in the same manner as in the present embodiment if at least one of the three types is used. For example, if it is known that the number of times of starting and stopping has a much stronger effect on the failure rate λ than in other cases depending on the type of the mechanical equipment 3, Kp,
It is also possible to calculate and use the failure rate λ without using Kr (or Kp = Kr = 1). The same applies to the output and the output fluctuation rate.

In the present embodiment, the output, the number of times of starting and stopping, and the output fluctuation rate are referred to in order to measure the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3, but this is because a gas turbine is used as an example. is there. By using other appropriate parameters according to the type of the mechanical equipment 3, it is possible to more accurately grasp the failure rate of the mechanical equipment 3. For example, in the case of a chemical reaction device, the operating temperature, its rate of change, the operating pressure, its rate of change, the number of shutdowns, and the like. It is important to select parameters that greatly affect the occurrence of a failure among various parameters indicating the operation status of the machine equipment.

In this embodiment, both the maker 22 and the machine user 12 have opened accounts at the financial intermediary office 13. However, it is also possible to perform a remittance procedure via the financial intermediary station 13 using an ordinary electronic commerce such as Internet banking without opening an account at the financial intermediary station 13.

In this embodiment, the procedure related to the maintenance fee is performed by the cost management server 27. This is because it is assumed that the department that performs maintenance fee related procedures in the manufacturer 22 is different from the department that manages the manufacturer remote monitoring system 23. However, due to circumstances within the maker 22, the maker remote monitoring server 2
5 may also perform the procedure related to the maintenance fee performed by the cost management server 27. That is, in this embodiment, the maker remote monitoring server 25 = the cost management server 27, the maker device information database 26 =
The cost information database 28 is used. In that case, the cost management server 27 and the cost information database 28 can be eliminated, and there is a cost advantage by saving the server.

Further, it is possible for the manufacturer 22 to play the role of the financial intermediary station 13 in the present embodiment. In that case, for example, the cost management system 24
What is necessary is just to have the function of both. FIG. 14 shows this, and the expense management server 27 and the accounting server 14 are connected to the communication line J3 without the financial intermediary office 13.
It is directly connected with 2. Then, the maker 22 keeps funds of the machine equipment user 12 and draws out a maintenance fee as necessary while performing fund management. In this case, no commission is paid to the financial intermediary bureau or the like, which leads to cost reduction for both parties.

Further, in the present embodiment, the cost management system 24 belongs to the maker 22, but may belong to the financial intermediary station 13 as shown in FIG. That is, by outsourcing the work related to the payment of the maintenance fee to the financial intermediary station 13, the maker 22 does not need to own the cost management system 24, which leads to cost reduction. In this case, in the manufacturer 22, the manufacturer remote monitoring system 23 obtains operation information on the operation status of the equipment 3 and determines the maintenance fee from the operation status and the maintenance contract by the method in the above-described embodiment. I do. Then, the maintenance charge payment instruction is output to the expense management system 24 of the financial intermediary station 13 via the communication line H30. At the same time, the maintenance fee payment instruction is also sent to the accounting server 14 of the machine user 12.
Output through the communication line H30. Machine equipment user 1
The second accounting server 14 sends a request for payment of a maintenance fee by a method such as account transfer or electronic commerce to the cost management system 24 of the financial intermediary station 13 based on the maintenance fee payment instruction.

In this embodiment, the values of the coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr, λm, Tr, Kg) used are as follows:
This is a value preset in principle depending on the type and size of the mechanical equipment 3, the usage state of the month, and the like, and is stored in the maker equipment information database 26. These values can usually be changed based on past operation conditions and the like. To change based on the operation status means that in severe operation, the possibility of failure increases compared to continuous good operation, so it is based on the number of severe operations. That is, the value of each coefficient is changed so that the maintenance fee increases. By doing so, the value of the maintenance fee becomes more suited to the operation status of the machinery and equipment 3, the machinery and equipment user 12 becomes a stronger incentive to keep good operation, and the maintenance fee of the machinery and equipment user 12 Further, the effect of reducing the maintenance cost of the manufacturer 22 can be further increased.

Further, in this embodiment, the remote monitoring system 1 of the maker 11 stores data relating to the operation status of the user 12 such as the output of the mechanical equipment 3, the number of times of starting and stopping, and the output change rate in advance for setting the maintenance fee. Set period (for example, 1
Monthly). However, apart from that, the aforementioned information is acquired every short time (for example, every one hour), and it is checked whether the operation is severe or not. , Promptly communication line G
It is also possible to issue an advice or a warning via 29 to try to avoid a severe operating condition of the mechanical equipment 3.

That is, when a severe operation situation is found, the manufacturer 22 can simply issue a warning to call the attention of the machine equipment user 12, and can also send advice as needed. Thereby, the machine equipment user 12 can pay attention to the severe operation situation by the warning, pay more attention to the operation, and easily avoid the severe operation by the advice. As a result, an increase in maintenance fees can be expected by reducing severe operating conditions. Further, the maker 22 can also avoid the risk of the failure of the mechanical equipment 3 due to severe operation continuation, and can save repair costs. Therefore, it benefits both the equipment user 12 and the manufacturer 22.

In that case, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25
The operation status monitoring for each short time is performed as follows. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 16, the manufacturer remote monitoring server 25 can communicate with the control unit 8 of the mechanical equipment 3 of the mechanical equipment user 12 via the communication line G29. Then, every short time (for example, one hour), information on the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3 is received by communication (S502).
The operation status is analyzed (S503). If you find a severe operation situation (output> rated value, start / stop times> design upper limit, output change rate> design upper limit),
Send a warning or advice to the mechanical equipment 3 (S
504). At that time, a warning or advice is determined by referring to the information on the operation status for several hours before that. The advice is, for example, the maker device information database 2
6 based on a correspondence table between the severe operation status and the advice stored in the storage unit 6. Then, the information is stored (S505), and the operation status monitoring for each short time ends (S505).
506).

In the description of each embodiment of the present invention, it is stated that the maintenance fee is reduced when the operation status is good.
However, if the operation situation is not in a favorable state, it is natural that there is a possibility of having to pay a higher amount as compared with a normal maintenance fee. It is. If the operating situation is not in a favorable state, the user of the mechanical equipment may be considered to be charged a kind of penalty. That is, if the operation situation is bad, the correction coefficient (Kp, Ks,
Since Kr) exceeds 1.0, the amount of loss increases and the maintenance fee also increases.

Embodiment 2 Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 and 2 to 6, the configuration of the embodiment of the machine equipment insurance premium setting system according to the present invention and the basic concept regarding the calculation of the insurance premium will be described. Will be explained. FIG. 17 is a configuration diagram according to the embodiment of the present invention, and shows an insurance company 1 as an insurance company bureau.

And an insurance management system 2 including an insurance management server 6 and an insurance information database 7. It handles insurance related to machinery and equipment, and acquires and analyzes information related to insurance for machinery and equipment. The machine facility user 12 as a machine facility user station includes the machine facility 3 including the control unit 8, the facility operation unit 9, and the operation information database 10, and the accounting server 14. When using the mechanical equipment 3, an insurance contract is concluded with the insurance company 11, and operation information of the mechanical equipment 3 is transmitted to the insurance company 11 as appropriate.

Normally, when purchasing the mechanical equipment 3, the mechanical equipment user 12 concludes an insurance contract with the insurance company 11 for insurance relating to damage to the mechanical equipment 3.

Now, the operation of the embodiment of the system for setting insurance premiums for machinery and equipment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Referring to FIGS. 17 and 7, FIG. 7 shows a process flow of the system for setting insurance premiums for machinery and equipment of the present invention. This represents the aforementioned (maintenance fee) and premium calculation process (-), and calculates the premium accordingly. First, start (S101)
In the previous stage, the insurance company 11 and the mechanical equipment user 12 have made an insurance contract for the mechanical equipment insurance premium setting system of the present invention. Among them, the insurance premium setting period (predetermined insurance premium calculation and insurance target period), the insurance premium calculation method (the above-described insurance premium calculation process), the correction coefficient, the occupancy rate of the machine A and the insurance premium (Corresponding to FIG. 6). Further, according to the contract for obtaining information on the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3 (gas turbine) in the insurance contract, the gas turbine (the mechanical equipment 3) of the mechanical equipment user 12 allows the remote monitoring system 1 of the insurance company 11.
And a communication line A15. Then, the remote monitoring system 1 can acquire data on the operation status of the gas turbine via the communication line A15 by issuing a request to the gas turbine.

After starting operation of the gas turbine, the remote monitoring server 4 acquires data on the operation status from the gas turbine at preset intervals (in this embodiment, every month) (FIG. 7, FIG. S102). The data relating to the operation status is the output during operation, the number of starts and stops, and the output change rate per unit time in the gas turbine. In the case of this embodiment, data for one month is acquired. The acquired data is stored in the device information database 5.

Next, based on those data, the remote monitoring server 4 calculates the correction coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr)
Is determined (S103). The determination is performed by the processes shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, respectively. The Kp determination process (FIG. 8) will be described. First, the remote monitoring server 4 reads one month's worth of output information from the device information database 5 (S202). Then, the maximum output of the month is detected from the data (S20).
3). Next, from the relationship between the output shown in FIG. 2 and the output correction coefficient Kp, the maximum output Kp for the month is calculated and determined (S204). Then, Kp is output (S20
5), the process ends (S206).

Next, the process of determining Ks (FIG. 9) will be described. First, the remote monitoring server 4 reads information on the number of times of start / stop for one month from the device information database 5 (S302). Then, from these data, the number of starts and stops for the month is detected (S303). Next, from the relationship between the number of start / stop and the number of start / stop correction coefficient Ks shown in FIG. 3, Ks at the number of start / stop of the month is calculated and determined (S304).
Then, Ks is output (S305), and the process ends (S306).

Next, the Kr determination process (FIG. 10) will be described. First, the remote monitoring server 4 reads information on the output fluctuation rate for one month from the device information database 5 (S402). Then, the maximum output fluctuation rate for the month is detected from the data (S403). Next, Kr corresponding to the maximum output fluctuation rate for the month is calculated and determined from the relationship between the output fluctuation rate and the output fluctuation rate correction coefficient Kr shown in FIG. 4 (S404). Then, Kr is output (S405), and the process ends (S406).

The remote monitoring server 4 calculates and determines the correction coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr) as described above, and also stores the failure rate λm specific to the gas turbine stored in the equipment information database 5 and the number of years of use. The correction coefficient Ky and the recovery time Tr at the time of failure are acquired (S103).

Based on the obtained Kp, Ks, Kr, λm, and Ky, the equation (1) of the insurance premium calculation process described above:
The failure rate λ of the gas turbine is calculated from λ = a · Ky · Kp · Ks · Kr · λm (S104).

On the other hand, the repair time T in which the gas turbine must be stopped for repair or the like when a failure occurs is calculated by the above formula (2) of the insurance premium calculation process: T = Td + T
r (S105). Here, Td is the time required for detection from the occurrence of a failure, and Tr is the time required for recovery from the failure. Here, Td can be neglected for Tr because it is extremely short by remote monitoring of the gas turbine by the equipment user 12.

Next, the operating rate predicted value A, which is the predicted value of the operating rate of the gas turbine in the next month, is calculated by the above formula (4) of the insurance premium calculation process: A = μ / (λ + μ) (S106). . Here, the repair rate μ is calculated by the following equation (3): μ =
1 / T.

Finally, the next insurance premium C for the gas turbine is determined. The insurance premium C for the next (next month) is determined from the relationship between the insurance premium C and the estimated operating rate A shown in FIG.
107). Then, the process for calculating the insurance premium ends (S108). Note that the data related to FIGS. 2 to 6 is stored in the device information database 5.

Based on the insurance contract between the machine equipment user 12 and the insurance company 11, the insurance premium C is determined as described above by exchanging information regarding the operation status between the gas turbine and the remote monitoring system 1. The information is held in the device information database 5. Then, based on the premium C, the remote monitoring server 4 sends a premium payment instruction to the premium management server 6 of the insurance management system 2.

The insurance premium management server 6 sends the data to the accounting server 14 of the machine equipment user 12 via the communication line D18 according to the payment method set based on the contract between the insurance company 11 and the machine equipment user 12 for the following month. Send notification of insurance premium payment request. The accounting server 14 pays the insurance premium for the following month to the insurance company 11 in response to the notification. As the payment method, for the payment cycle, for example, monthly payment, semi-annual payment, and the like are paid according to the contract. Regarding the sending of the insurance premium, the insurance company 11, the machinery and equipment user 12, and the financial intermediary office 13 make a contract for e-commerce using a communication line in advance, and the financial intermediary office 13 based on the contract. To facilitate the electronic procedure of For example, the insurance company 11 and the mechanical equipment user 12 both open an account with the financial intermediary office 13. Then, using the communication line C17, the user
Issues an instruction to pay to the financial intermediary office 13 and transfers the insurance premium to the account of the financial intermediary office of the insurance company 11. The financial intermediary station 13 notifies the payment information to the insurance premium management server 6 of the insurance company 11 via the communication line B16.

The above operation is carried out for each period (for example, one month) set in advance by the insurance contract.
2 makes the insurance company pay insurance premiums. The payment of the insurance premium is made continuously within the insurance period based on the insurance contract. However, the period can be changed by contract or the like.

By the above operation of the present invention, the insurance company 11
In addition, it is possible to set an insurance premium that is profitable for both the user and the machine equipment user 12. In other words, machine equipment user 1
The second is that if the machinery and equipment 3 (gas turbine) is not subjected to severe operation, the operating rate of the machinery and equipment 3 will be improved, and the insurance premium may be reduced, and the cost merit of reducing insurance expenditures. is there. In addition, the mechanical equipment user 12 strives to use the mechanical equipment 3 as expected at the time of design by the manufacturer in order to reduce insurance expenditure, so that the occurrence of failure of the mechanical equipment 3 is extremely low. . Accordingly, the insurance company 11 can significantly reduce the probability of the payment of the insurance money, and can execute the insurance business more soundly.

In this embodiment, the output during operation, the number of times of start / stop,
All three types of correction coefficients (Kp.Ks, Kr) relating to the output change rate per unit time are used. However, even when all of these values are not used, the operation can be performed in the same manner as in the present embodiment if at least one of the three types is used. For example, if it is known that the number of times of starting and stopping has a much stronger effect on the failure rate λ than in other cases depending on the type of the mechanical equipment 3, Kp,
It is also possible to calculate and use the failure rate λ without using Kr (or Kp = Kr = 1). The same applies to the output and the output fluctuation rate.

In the present embodiment, the output, the number of times of starting and stopping, and the output fluctuation rate are referred to in order to measure the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3, but this is because a gas turbine is used as an example. is there. By using other appropriate parameters according to the type of the mechanical equipment 3, it is possible to more accurately grasp the failure rate of the mechanical equipment 3. For example, in the case of a chemical reaction device, the operating temperature, its rate of change, the operating pressure, its rate of change, the number of shutdowns, and the like. It is important to select parameters that greatly affect the occurrence of a failure among various parameters indicating the operation status of the machine equipment.

In this embodiment, both the insurance company 11 and the mechanical equipment user 12 have opened accounts at the financial intermediary office 13. However, it is also possible to perform a remittance procedure via the financial intermediary station 13 using an ordinary electronic commerce such as Internet banking without opening an account at the financial intermediary station 13.

In this embodiment, the insurance premium management server 6 performs the procedure related to the insurance premium. This is because it is assumed that the department performing insurance-related procedures in the insurance company 11 is different from the department managing the remote monitoring system 1. However, depending on circumstances in the insurance company 11, the remote monitoring server 4 may also execute the procedure related to the insurance premium performed by the premium management server 6. That is, in this embodiment, the remote monitoring server 4 = the insurance premium management server 6, and the device information database 5 = the insurance information database 7. In that case, the insurance premium management server 6 and the insurance information database 7
Can be eliminated, and there is a cost advantage by saving the server.

Further, the role of the financial intermediary station 13 in this embodiment can be performed by the insurance company 11. In this case, for example, the insurance management system 2 may have the function of the financial intermediary station 13. This is shown in FIG. 18, in which the insurance premium management server 6 and the accounting server 14 are connected to the communication line E19 without the financial intermediary office 13.
Is directly connected. Then, the insurance company 11 keeps the funds of the machine equipment user 12 and draws out the insurance premium as needed while managing the funds. In this case, no commission is paid to the financial intermediary bureau or the like, which leads to cost reduction for both parties.

Further, in the state of FIG. 18, the remote monitoring of the machinery 3 by the remote monitoring system 1 is performed by the insurance company 11.
However, as shown in FIG. 19, it is also possible to outsource to a management company 21 which is a company that performs remote monitoring of other equipment. For example, if a manufacturer (not shown) of the mechanical equipment 3 performs remote monitoring, a department that performs remote monitoring of the manufacturer according to a three-way contract between the manufacturer, the insurance company 11 and the mechanical equipment user 12 or the like. ,
This is the management company 21 in FIG. That is, by outsourcing the manufacturer to collect information on the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3 and calculate insurance premiums, the insurance company 11 does not need to own the remote monitoring system 1, which leads to cost reduction. In this case, the remote monitoring system 1 only collects information on the operation status of the mechanical equipment 3, and performs operations related to the calculation of premium payment based on the information.
It is also possible to let

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the insurance management system 2 belongs to the insurance company 11, but may belong to the financial intermediary station 13 as shown in FIG. That is,
By outsourcing the business related to insurance premium payment to the financial intermediary bureau 13, the insurance company 11 does not need to own the insurance management system 2, which leads to cost reduction. In that case, in the insurance company 11, the remote monitoring system 1 acquires the operation information on the operation status of the equipment 3 and determines the insurance premium from the operation status and the insurance contract by the method in the above embodiment. I do. Then, it outputs the insurance premium payment instruction to the insurance management system 2 of the financial intermediary station 13. Financial Intermediation Bureau 13
The insurance management system 2 transmits the maintenance replacement cost to the machine equipment user 12 (or its account) by a method such as account transfer or electronic commerce based on the insurance premium payment instruction.

In the present embodiment, the values of the respective coefficients (Kp, Ks, Kr, λm, Tr, Kg) used are as follows:
This is a value preset in principle depending on the type and size of the mechanical equipment 3, the usage state of the month, and the like, and is stored in the equipment information database 5. These values can usually be changed based on past operation conditions and the like. To change based on the operation status means that in severe operation, the possibility of failure increases compared to continuous good operation, so it is based on the number of severe operations. That is, the value of each coefficient is changed so that the premium increases. By doing so, the value of the insurance premium becomes more suited to the operation status of the machinery and equipment 3, and the machinery and equipment user 12 becomes a stronger incentive to keep good operation, and the
And the effect of reducing the insurance premium of the insurance company 11 can be further increased.

Further, in the description of each embodiment of the present invention, it is stated that the insurance premium is reduced when the operation status is good.
However, if the operation situation is not in a favorable state, it is natural that there is a possibility that it is necessary to pay a higher amount compared to normal insurance premiums, and it is one of the contents of the mechanical equipment insurance premium setting system of the present invention. It is. If the operating situation is not in a favorable state, the user of the mechanical equipment may be considered to be charged a kind of penalty. That is, if the operation situation is poor, the correction coefficients (Kp, Ks,
Since Kr) exceeds 1.0, the loss amount increases and the insurance premium also increases.

[0133]

According to the present invention, a user of a mechanical equipment can reduce the payment of a maintenance fee and an insurance premium depending on the operation of the mechanical equipment, and the manufacturer and the insurance company can also reduce the possibility of paying the maintenance cost and the insurance money. Reductions can benefit both mechanical equipment users and manufacturers and insurance companies.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to set the maintenance fee and the insurance fee with higher accuracy by accurately reflecting the operation status of the mechanical equipment.
