  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate. In each embodiment, means having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

(Outline of the embodiment)
The outline of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
At present, in the carbon dioxide emission trading system, assistance is not received unless the transaction is in units of 50 tons or more, and if it is applied for less than 50 tons, it will be a burden on the applicant, so there is almost no actual application. For this reason, in the carbon dioxide emission trading system, the opportunity for the user to participate in the emission trading was limited. Therefore, the emissions trading system 200 does not allow users such as households to conduct emissions trading alone, but forms a group with a sufficient number of users for this trading unit and participates in the emissions trading system. ing.

Here, in the emission trading system 200, users 001 to 10N, a manager 210, and an emission exchange 220 are connected via a network NW, and various data necessary for online emission trading. Can be sent and received.
In the following description, the carbon dioxide emission amount is abbreviated as “emission amount”, and the carbon dioxide reduction amount is abbreviated as “reduction amount”.

  The users (users 001 to 10N) use electric power such as homes, individuals, companies, factories, groups, public facilities, and small businesses. Each user installs the emission amount calculation system 100 (FIG. 2), and transmits emission amount data to be described later to the administrator 210.

  A group is a set of users set by the administrator 210. For example, the administrator 210 performs grouping of users for each area such as a municipality. Further, the manager 210 may recruit users who participate in the emission trading, and group the users in the order of application. In the example of FIG. 1, users 001 to 00M (M is an integer of 2 or more) belong to group 1, and users 101 to 10N (N is an integer of 2 or more) belong to group 2.

  The administrator 210 calculates the emission amount for each group by totaling the emission amount data of each user for each group for every preset transaction period (for example, three months). For example, consider a case where a household uses a non-power-saving electrical device in a previous transaction period but switches to a power-saving electrical device in the next transaction period. In this case, since the power saving type electric device can use less electric power than the non-power saving type electric device, the amount of emission can be reduced in the next transaction period than in the previous transaction period. For this reason, the administrator 210 calculates | requires the reduction amount for every group by the difference of the discharge amount of a certain transaction period, and the discharge amount of the transaction period before it. Then, the manager 210 trades the carbon dioxide reduction amount (that is, the emission right) of a certain group through the emissions exchange 220, and distributes the profits from the transaction to the users belonging to the group.

  The emission exchange 220 serves as an intermediary for emission trading. In the example of FIG. 1, the emission exchange 220 mediates an emission transaction between an administrator 210 that sells emission rights and an operator (not shown) that purchases emission rights.

  In recent years, green energy has attracted attention. This green energy is energy (electric power) by natural energy that emits less greenhouse gases and harmful gases and has a low environmental impact. Examples of this green energy include solar energy, heat, wind energy, livestock manure, biomass such as agricultural waste, small-scale hydropower that is not a dam type, geothermal heat that uses the heat of hot springs and underground magma, Energy generated in natural circulation such as tides and waves.

Here, when the user uses green energy, it is treated that carbon dioxide has not been discharged even though the electric device is actually used (operated). Therefore, in the emission trading system 200, if electricity is actually used but it is possible to record that carbon dioxide is not emitted, carbon dioxide can be reduced compared to the case where normal power is used. Can be proved (CO ₂ emission Zero certification). CO ₂ emissions Zero demonstrated using this green energy plays an important role in future emissions trading.

In FIG. 2, the operation record measuring apparatuses 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B have the same configuration, and thus each unit of the operation record measuring apparatus 10 </ b> B is omitted.
In FIG. 2, the configuration other than the operation record measurement device 10 and the discharge amount calculation device 20 is illustrated by a one-dot chain line.

  The emission amount calculation system 100 is installed, for example, in each user's home, office, factory, etc., and calculates the emission amount. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the emission amount calculation system 100 includes an operation record measurement device 10 (10A, 10B) and an emission amount calculation device (carbon dioxide emission amount calculation device) 20.

<Operation record measuring device>

The operation record measuring apparatus 10 is connected to one electrical device and supplies power to the electrical device. In the example of FIG. 2, the operation record measurement device 10A is connected to the television Tv and supplies power to the television Tv. The operation record measuring device 10B is connected to the air conditioner Ac and supplies power to the air conditioner Ac. That is, the emission amount calculation system 100 of FIG. 2 includes two operation record measuring apparatuses 10A and 10B.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation record measuring apparatus 10 has an operation record measurement unit 11 and an operation record output unit 13 accommodated in a box-shaped housing. Further, the operation record measuring apparatus 10 includes a plug Pl1 corresponding to an outlet Ct1 of a home, company, factory, group, public facility, etc. on the back of the box-shaped housing. Furthermore, the operation record measuring apparatus 10 includes an outlet Ct2 corresponding to the plug Pl2 of the electric device on the bottom surface of the box-shaped housing.

  In the operation record measuring apparatus 10, when the plug Pl1 is inserted into the outlet Ct1 of a home, company, factory, organization, public facility, etc., and the plug Pl2 of the electric device is inserted into the outlet Ct2, the power of the connected electric device is Supply and uptime measurements are possible.

  In addition, the operation record measurement apparatus 10 may include operation record measurement apparatus ID setting means (for example, a dial not shown) that sets an operation record measurement apparatus ID to be described later. In this case, the user sets the operation record measurement device ID by the operation record measurement device ID setting means so that the operation record measurement devices 10 used by the user do not overlap each other. For example, in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the operation record measurement device ID of the operation record measurement device 10A is set to “α” and the operation record measurement device ID of the operation record measurement device 10B is set to “β”.

  Furthermore, the operation record measurement apparatus 10 may include a measurement period setting unit (for example, a dial not shown) that sets a measurement period (for example, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours) to be described later. In this case, the user may set the same measurement period in all the operation record measurement devices 10 used by the user.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the configuration of the emission amount calculation system 100 will be continued.
The operation record measurement unit 11 measures an operation time for each electrical device in the measurement period. For example, the operation record measurement unit 11 measures, as the operation time, the time during which the voltage value of the power supplied to the electrical device exceeds a preset reference voltage value during the measurement period. Then, the operation record measurement unit 11 outputs the measured operation time, the measurement start time of this operation time, and the measurement end time of this operation time to the operation record output unit 13.

  The operation record output unit 13 receives the operation time, the measurement start time, and the measurement end time from the operation record measurement unit 11, and generates operation record data in which these pieces of information are stored. Further, the operation record output unit 13 adds an operation record measuring device ID to the operation record data.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the operation record data dat1 includes an operation record measurement device ID, an operation time, a measurement start time, and a measurement end time.
The operation record measurement device ID is information for uniquely identifying each user's operation record measurement device.
The operation time is the time during which the electrical device connected to the operation record measurement device 10 has been operated within the measurement period. In FIG. 4, the operating time is a time unit, but may be a finer unit such as a minute unit or a second unit.
The measurement start time is the time when the operation time measurement is started.
The measurement end time is the time when the measurement of the operation time is ended. Note that the difference between the measurement end time and the measurement start time coincides with the measurement period.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the configuration of the emission amount calculation system 100 will be continued.
Then, the operation record output unit 13 transmits the generated operation record data to the discharge amount calculation device 20 via the network NW. For example, the operation record output unit 13 can use a wireless communication technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-15122.

  The operation record measuring device 10 is, for example, from a wireless power meter (for example, “Smart Eco Watt” manufactured by ENEGATE, http://www.enegate.co.jp/smarteco_portal/products/index.html). It can be easily realized by deleting the function for calculating the amount of power used.

<Emission calculation device>
The emission amount calculation device (carbon dioxide emission amount calculation device) 20 calculates the emission amount based on the operation record data generated by the operation record measurement devices 10A and 10B. Therefore, the emission calculation device 20 includes a network interface 21, a storage unit 22, an operation record input unit 23, an emission calculation unit (carbon dioxide emission calculation unit) 24, a data generation unit 25, and a data output. A unit 26 and a database 27 are provided.

The discharge amount calculation device 20 is connected to an input device In such as a mouse or a keyboard. And a user performs various operation with respect to the discharge amount calculation apparatus 20 using this input device In.
Further, the discharge amount calculation device 20 is connected to an output device Out such as a display or a printer. The discharge amount calculation device 20 outputs various information such as discharge amount data to the output device Out.

  The network interface 21 performs network communication with the operation record measuring apparatuses 10A and 10B. An example of the network interface 21 is a network interface card (NIC) having a wireless communication function.

The storage unit 22 is a storage device such as a memory or HDD that stores the electrical device information tbl1, the user information tbl2, and the space recognition information tbl3.
Here, for example, the user inputs the electric device information tbl1 and the user information tbl2 using the input device In, and stores them in the storage unit 22. In addition, the user ID is set in advance as the space recognition information tbl3, the space recognition information is measured by the GPS or the quasi-zenith function, and is stored in the storage unit 22.
Further, the administrator 210 may cause each user to download a user information file in which user information tbl2 having appropriate contents is described according to the address of the user. In this case, each user only needs to store the downloaded user information file in the storage unit 22.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the electrical equipment information tbl1 is set in advance with the power consumption for each electrical equipment associated with the operational record measuring device to which the electrical equipment is connected. , Electrical equipment ID, manufacturer, power consumption, and durability.

The operation record measuring device ID is the same as that shown in FIG.
The electric device ID is information (for example, the model number of the electric device) that uniquely identifies the electric device connected to the operation record measuring device 10 corresponding to the operation record measuring device ID.
The manufacturer is information indicating the manufacturer of the electrical device.
The power consumption is the power consumption per unit time of the electric device.
The durable life is a durable life (a useful life) of the electric device.

  In other words, in the electrical device information tbl1, the set of the operation record measurement device ID and the electrical device ID is information that associates the electrical device with the operation record measurement device to which the electrical device is connected. For example, in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the electric device ID of the television Tv is “AAAAA” and the electric device ID of the air conditioner Ac is “BBBBB”. In this case, the electrical equipment information tbl1 in FIG. 5 indicates that the operation record measurement device ID “α” corresponds to the electrical equipment ID “AAAAA”, that is, the television Tv is connected to the operation record measurement device 10A. Show. Similarly, the electrical device information tbl1 indicates that the operation record measurement device ID “β” corresponds to the electrical device ID “BBBBB”, that is, the air conditioner Ac is connected to the operation record measurement device 10B.

  In the electrical equipment information tbl1, the manufacturer and the durable years are not essential setting items. For example, when the durable years are set, the user can grasp the remaining years in which the electric device can be used together with the amount of power used.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the user information tbl2 includes a user ID, a CO ₂ coefficient, and an electricity bill.
The user ID is information for uniquely identifying each user, and is specified in advance by the administrator 210, for example.
The CO ₂ coefficient (carbon dioxide emission coefficient) is a coefficient for calculating the emission amount, and is set for each business operator that supplies power to the user. Note that this CO ₂ coefficient is treated as zero when calculating the CO ₂ emission amount Zero.
The electricity charge is an electricity charge per unit time, and is set, for example, for each business operator that supplies power to the user.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the space recognition information tbl3 includes a user ID and space recognition information.
The user ID is the same as that shown in FIG.
The space recognition information is information necessary for “Cell Grid”, and is information indicating a three-dimensional position (for example, latitude, longitude, altitude) of a place where the emission amount calculation device 20 is installed.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the configuration of the emission amount calculation system 100 will be continued.
The operation record input unit 23 receives operation record data from the operation record measuring apparatuses 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B via the network interface 21. Then, the operation record input unit 23 outputs the input operation record data of the operation record measurement devices 10A and 10B to the discharge amount calculation unit 24.

  The emission amount calculation unit (carbon dioxide emission amount calculation unit) 24 receives operation record data from the operation record input unit 23, and based on the operation record data, stores the electrical device information tbl1 and user information tbl2 in the storage unit 22. With reference to this, the amount of power used, the electricity bill, and the amount of emissions are calculated for each electrical device. Then, the discharge amount calculation unit 24 outputs the input operation record data, the calculated power consumption, the electricity bill, and the discharge amount to the data generation unit 25.

Hereinafter, a method for calculating the emission amount in the emission amount calculation unit 24 will be described in detail.
In the example of FIG. 2, since the operation record data of each of the operation record measuring apparatuses 10A and 10B is input to the emission amount calculation unit 24, based on these operation record data, the power consumption of the TV Tv, the electric charge, and The discharge amount, the amount of electric power used by the air conditioner Ac, the electricity bill and the discharge amount are calculated.

In this case, the emission amount calculation unit 24 extracts the operation record measurement device ID from the operation record data (operation record data of the operation record measurement device 10A) obtained by measuring the operation time of the television Tv. Then, the emission amount calculation unit 24 searches the electric device information tbl1 using the extracted operation record measuring device ID as a search key, and acquires the power consumption of the television Tv as the search result. Furthermore, as shown in the following equation (1), the emission amount calculation unit 24 calculates the power consumption of the television Tv by multiplying the operation time of the operation record data by the power consumption of the television Tv.
Power consumption = power consumption x operating time (1)
The amount of power used by the air conditioner Ac can be calculated in the same manner as the amount of power used by the television Tv, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Further, as shown in the following formula (2), the emission amount calculation unit 24 multiplies the power consumption obtained in the formula (1) by the electricity rate per unit time of the user information tbl2 to obtain the TV Tv and The electricity bill for the air conditioner Ac is calculated.
Electricity charge = power consumption x operating time x electricity charge
= Amount of electricity used x Electricity rate (2)

Further, as shown in the following equation (3), the emission amount calculation unit 24 multiplies the power consumption obtained in equation (1) by the CO ₂ coefficient of the user information tbl2 to thereby calculate the TV Tv and the air conditioner Ac. Calculate emissions.
Emission amount = power consumption × operation time × CO ₂ coefficient = power consumption × CO ₂ coefficient (formula 3)

Here, it is assumed that a power usage category indicating whether to use green energy or normal power is set in advance for each operation record measuring device 10. When this power usage category indicates green energy, the emission amount calculation unit 24 treats the CO ₂ coefficient as zero and calculates the CO ₂ emission amount Zero according to the above-described equation (3). Accordingly, the emission amount calculation system 100 can use the emission amount data described later for the CO ₂ emission amount Zero certification.
The emission amount calculation unit 24 can also calculate a value obtained by multiplying the operating time by a CO ₂ coefficient as CarbonWorkPrint.

  The data generation unit 25 receives the operation record data, the amount of power used, the electricity charge, and the amount of discharge from the discharge amount calculation unit 24, and refers to the electric device information tbl1 and the user information tbl2 in the storage unit 22. Based on these information, emission data is generated. Then, the data generation unit 25 outputs the generated emission amount data to the data output unit 26 and the database 27.

As shown in FIG. 8, the emission data dat2 generated by the data generation unit 25 includes a data ID, a used power category, a used power amount, an electricity bill, an emission amount, a CO ₂ emission amount Zero, and a measurement. It has a start time and a measurement end time.
The data ID is information for uniquely identifying each emission amount data. This data ID is, for example, a character string in which the user ID of the user information tbl2, the operation record measuring device ID of the operation record data, and the electric device ID of the electric device information tbl1 are connected via “-”. is there.
The used power classification is the same information as described above.
The amount of power used, the electricity bill, the amount of emissions, and the CO ₂ emission amount Zero are the same information as calculated by the emission amount calculation unit 24.
The measurement start time and the measurement end time are the same information as included in the operation record data.

  That is, in the discharge amount data dat2, the data ID is information associated with the operation record measuring device 10, the electric device, and the user. In the example of FIG. 8, the user whose data ID is the user ID “001”, the operation record measurement device 10A with the operation record measurement device ID “α”, and the television Tv with the electric equipment ID “AAAAA” are associated with each other. ing. Accordingly, in the emission amount calculation system 100, referring to the data ID, it is possible to easily grasp which user's operation record measuring device indicates the emission amount of which home appliance the emission amount data dat2 indicates. .

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the configuration of the emission amount calculation system 100 will be continued.
The data output unit 26 receives the emission amount data from the data generation unit 25 and transmits (outputs) the emission amount data to the administrator 210 via the network interface 21.

Here, it is preferable that the administrator 210 decides in advance the format for transmitting the emission data.
For example, the data output unit 26 transmits the emission amount data in FIG. 8 (that is, the emission amount data for each electrical device) to the administrator 210. In this case, the administrator 210 collects the emission amount data for each user and transaction period, and calculates the emission amount for each user.
Further, the data output unit 26 may aggregate the emission amount data of FIG. 8 for each user and transaction period, and transmit the data to the administrator 210. In this case, since the discharge amount data indicates the discharge amount for each user, it is not necessary for the administrator 210 to perform the above-described totaling.

  In addition, the data output unit 26 presents (outputs) the emission amount data including the amount of power used by a certain electrical device to the user via the output device Out. Thereby, the user can grasp | ascertain easily the electric energy used for every electric equipment.

  Furthermore, the data output unit 26 may add space recognition information (FIG. 7) to the discharge amount data of FIG. 8 (not shown). As a result, the emission amount calculation system 100 can identify the installation location / space based on the emission amount data, and enable “Cell Grid”.

  The database 27 is a database that receives the emission amount data from the data generation unit 25 and accumulates the emission amount data. Further, the database 27 uses the input device In to perform statistical processing on the accumulated emission amount data in accordance with a command input by the user. Then, the database 27 presents graphs and tables that are the results of various statistical processes to the user via the output device Out.

  An example of the graph presented by the database 27 is shown in FIG. The graph of FIG. 9 is a monthly report of the amount of power used by a certain user. Specifically, in this graph, the vertical axis represents the amount of power used, the horizontal axis represents the date within the monthly report period (1st to the end of the month), and the bar graph represents the amount of power used for each date. Further, in this graph, the solid line is the actual value obtained by accumulating the power consumption for each date, and the broken line is the target value for the power consumption set in advance. With this graph, for example, the user can easily grasp the change in the amount of power used within the monthly report period and the difference between the target value and actual value of the amount of power used.

  A first example of a table presented by the database 27 is shown in Table 1 below. The table in Table 1 shows the amount of electric power used, the electricity bill, and the amount of emissions per month such as from January to March in XX year. With this table, the user can easily grasp, for example, changes in monthly power consumption, electricity charges, and emissions.

  Table 2 below shows a second example of the table presented by the database 27 when the user is a business operator such as a factory. In the table of Table 2, the operation record data measured by the plurality of operation record measuring devices 10 are grouped by preset classification such as “air conditioning” and “outlet”. And in this table, the total value of the electric power consumption of each division is shown at a predetermined time interval (for example, 30 minutes).

Note that the order of the processes in steps S6 and S7 may be changed.

  As described above, the emission calculation system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention realizes the operation record measuring apparatus 10 with a simple configuration and suppresses costs because the operation record measuring apparatus 10 measures only the operation time. Can do. In particular, when the number of electrical devices increases, the emission amount calculation system 100 also increases the number of operation record measuring devices 10 with the increase in the number of electrical devices, so that the effect of cost reduction becomes higher.

  In addition, the emission amount calculation system 100 calculates and outputs the amount of electric power used, the electricity charge, and the emission amount for each electric device, and the carbon dioxide emission data for each electric device. Since it is calculated and output, convenience at home and the like can be improved.

  Furthermore, the emission amount calculation system 100 can realize visualization of electric power because the emission amount calculation device 20 presents emission amount data such as tables and graphs to the user in various forms. For example, the emission amount calculation apparatus 20 can present to the user the amount of power used for each day, month, and year, the electricity rate, and the amount of emissions by using the database 27. Further, when the emission amount calculation system 100 is connected to a user's electrical equipment, the amount of power used by the entire user and the peak time of power usage can be grasped, which can be used for power saving measures and blackout prediction.

  Accordingly, the emission amount calculation system 100 is convenient, has a high cost reduction effect, and can be easily introduced into a home or the like, and therefore increases the opportunities for users to participate in the emission trading system. Further, the emission amount calculation system 100 can perform “Cell Grid” by adding the space recognition information to the emission amount data.

  In the embodiment, the description has been given on the assumption that there are two electric devices, that is, the television Tv and the air conditioner Ac. However, the present invention may include three or more electric devices. The present invention is not limited to the television Tv and the air conditioner Ac as long as the electrical device can be connected to an outlet.

  In the case of an electric device that cannot be connected to an outlet (for example, embedded illumination), the present invention can measure the operating time of the electric device by performing the connection work of the operation record measuring device 10. In addition, according to the present invention, the operation record measuring device 10 can be incorporated in an electrical device that cannot be connected to an outlet.

  In the present embodiment, the manager 210 calculates the reduction amount. However, in the present invention, the emission amount calculation device 20 may calculate the reduction amount. In this case, the emission amount calculation device 20 refers to the database 27 and calculates a reduction amount for each user based on the difference between the emission amount for a certain transaction period and the emission amount for a transaction period before that. Thereafter, the emission amount calculation device 20 transmits the calculated reduction amount to the administrator 210.

(Modification)
[Configuration of emission calculation device]
Returning to FIG. 2, a difference from the first embodiment regarding the emission amount calculation device 20 according to the modification of the present invention will be described. This emission amount calculation device 20 can distinguish the power used by using the power coloring technique, and performs CO ₂ emission amount Zero certification by using green energy.
The power coloring technique is described in, for example, a document “http://www.i-energy.jp/data/16-2010-9-24-symposium-demo.pdf”.

The storage unit 22 stores the user information tbl2 of FIG. 11 instead of the user information tbl2 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, the user information tbl2 includes a user ID, a power ratio, a CO ₂ coefficient, and an electricity bill.
The power ratio is information indicating a ratio between green energy such as photovoltaic power generation and normal power, and is set in advance. The power ratio is 100% when the green energy ratio and the normal power ratio are summed.
As the CO ₂ coefficient, a value calculated based on the power ratio is written.
Note that the user ID and the electricity charge are the same as in FIG.

The emission amount calculation unit 24 refers to the power ratio of the user information tbl2 and calculates the CO ₂ coefficient before calculating the power consumption. For example, the emission amount calculation unit 24 calculates a value obtained by multiplying a green energy ratio (for example, 10%) by a preset CO ₂ coefficient of green energy. In addition, the emission amount calculation unit 24 is an operator that supplies power to the user such as a normal power CO ₂ coefficient (for example, 0.555, etc.) that is set to a normal power ratio (for example, 10%) A value obtained by multiplying a preset CO ₂ coefficient) for each time is calculated. Then, the emission amount calculation unit 24 adds the _two values to calculate the CO ₂ coefficient of Expression (3) and writes it in the user information tbl2 in FIG. Thereafter, the discharge amount calculation unit 24 performs calculations of the above-described formulas (1) to (3).

  Thereby, the database 27 can present the tables of the third example and the fourth example to the user. A third example of the table presented by the database 27 is shown in Table 3 below. The table in Table 3 shows the output results of the two types of power (green energy 50% and normal power 50%) in Table 1 described above. In this table, green energy is used, so the monthly emissions are less than in Table 1.

  A fourth example of the table presented by the database 27 is shown in Table 4 below. The table in Table 4 is an output result with 100% green energy in Table 1 described above. In this table, since all are green energy, the monthly emissions are zero.
