Description

  The present invention relates to a heating operation control system in a cold district using both heat pump heating and regenerative heating.

  In a house in a cold region, a heat pump heating device driven by power supply, specifically, an electric air conditioner (so-called air conditioner) is often used as a heating device, and heating is performed more than a heat pump heating device. Although the efficiency is inferior, a heat storage and heating device that can store the amount of heat necessary for heating is often used in combination. In addition, the maximum heating efficiency of the heat pump heating device (air conditioner) of the cold district specification is about 3 to 5 times that of the heat storage heating device.

  By the way, there is a limit to the operation guarantee range of the heat pump heater (air conditioner), and it cannot be denied that the heating efficiency decreases as the outside air temperature decreases. In particular, when the outside air temperature is greatly reduced, for example, at -25 ° C. or lower, the heating output cannot be secured. Thus, it has been proposed to use a heat pump heating device as the main heating device and to use the heat storage heating device as an auxiliary heating device (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, for example, when the operation of the heat pump heating device is stopped with the stop of power supply for the purpose of peak cut of power demand, it is also proposed to continue heating and hot water supply by using the heat storage heating device (for example, (See Patent Document 2). Furthermore, when using a heat storage and heating device, it is also proposed to control the amount of heat stored in advance in the heat storage and heating device in accordance with the predicted weather and ambient temperature on the next day (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4).

  However, when the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are used in combination, there are some problems in how to efficiently heat the indoor space. For example, even if a change in the outside air temperature of the next day is predicted from the outside air temperature measured in real time using a sensor, and the operation of the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device is controlled based on the prediction data, the actual outside air temperature change is not detected. It may be different from that prediction.

  Even if weather forecast information provided via an information communication line such as the Internet is used, the weather forecast information is not necessarily unique to the area where the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are installed (regional characteristics). ) Etc. are difficult to say. Specifically, the temperature information provided as a weather forecast is obtained only with respect to representative points in that area, for example, in a fairly wide area set in advance, such as by prefecture or city. There is a big difference depending on each area subdivided in the same area.

For this reason, the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are efficiently operated to heat a predetermined indoor space, and the heat storage amount necessary for the stable operation of the heat storage heating device is ensured in advance in an energy efficient manner. Thus, there remains a problem in using the above-described weather forecast information as it is.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its object is to provide a heating operation control system that can efficiently perform heating particularly in cold regions by using heat pump heating and heat storage heating in combination. There is to do.

  The heating operation control system according to the present invention to achieve the above-described object is suitable for heating a building (indoor space) provided in a building in a cold region, and is driven by receiving power supply. A heat pump heating device (electric air conditioner; air conditioner) that heats a predetermined indoor space, and a heat storage heating device that is used as an auxiliary device of the heat pump heating device to heat the indoor space. Information acquisition means for acquiring the next day's weather information and predicted outside air temperature information (expected change pattern of outside temperature) provided from a weather information site, etc. via an information communication network, and previously obtained by statistically processing past weather data Using a specific regional weighting value (for example, a value quantified by quantification type 1 for the relationship between weather and temperature) regarding the outside air temperature change with respect to the determined weather An outside air temperature change predicting means for obtaining a predictive change pattern of the outside air temperature specific to the area where the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are provided from the weather information and the predicted outside air temperature information, and an outside of the heat pump heating device. Room temperature change estimation that refers to the relationship between air temperature and supply heat quantity (air conditioner characteristics) and estimates a future temperature change pattern of the indoor space due to heating of the heat pump heating device based on the predicted change pattern of the outside air temperature And an operation management unit that manages the operation schedule of the heat storage and heating device according to the estimated temperature change pattern of the indoor space and controls the temperature of the indoor space to be constant.

  Preferably, in the information acquisition means, before entering the night power available time zone, the next day's weather information and the unexpected temperature change pattern are acquired as information provided from, for example, the Japan Meteorological Agency or a weather information site, Further, the outside air temperature change predicting means predicts a change pattern of the outside air temperature for one day from the previous night power use start time to the next day night power use start time.

  By the way, the weighting value for each specific region relating to the change in the outside air temperature with respect to the weather is, for example, the past indicating the relationship between the weather and the change in the outside air temperature in each of the region where the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are provided and the neighboring region Weather data is statistically analyzed using, for example, a quantification method based on quantification type 1, and weighting for correction for a change pattern of the unexpected outside temperature of the next day provided via the information communication line for each region Calculated as a value.

  In addition, in the said operation management means, it is desirable to manage the operation schedule of the said thermal storage heating apparatus in consideration of the thermal storage characteristic (natural heat dissipation) of the said thermal storage heating apparatus. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a means for controlling the operation of the heat pump heating device according to the power situation, and the room temperature change estimation means takes into account the operation schedule of the heat pump heating device and the temperature of the indoor space due to the heating of the heat pump heating device. It is desirable to estimate the change pattern.

  In addition to managing the operation schedule of the heat storage heating device described above, the heat storage amount required for the heat storage heating device is further obtained according to the operation schedule, and the necessary heat storage amount is secured prior to the heating operation of the heat storage heating device. It is desirable to provide a heat storage control means to perform.

  According to the heating operation control system having the above-described configuration, the information communication line is set using a weighting value (regional characteristic) relating to a change in outside air temperature with respect to the weather, which is specific to the region where the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are provided. The expected change pattern of the outside air temperature specific to the area is obtained from the weather information and the expected outside air temperature information acquired the next day through the room, and the room to be heated from the expected change pattern of the outside air temperature and the characteristics of the heat pump heating device Estimate the temperature change pattern of the space.

  And since the operation schedule of the said thermal storage heating apparatus is managed according to this temperature change pattern, it is possible to control the temperature of this indoor space stably. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently operate the heat storage and heating device while effectively utilizing the heating capacity of the heat pump heating device, and to heat a predetermined indoor space efficiently and efficiently.

  In addition, when on / off control of the operation of the heat pump heating device in consideration of the electric power situation, the temperature change pattern of the indoor space due to the heating of the heat pump heating device is estimated in consideration of the operation schedule of the heat pump heating device. Even when heating by the heat pump heating device has to be stopped along with power supply stoppage, the amount of heat necessary for heating the indoor space can be effectively compensated by using the heat storage heating device. Therefore, the room temperature can be kept stable even when the power supply is stopped.

  Further, the heat storage amount required for the heat storage heating device is obtained according to the operation schedule of the heat storage heating device described above, for example, the heat storage operation is performed prior to the heating operation of the heat storage heating device, and the necessary heat storage amount is ensured. Stable operation of the heating system can be guaranteed.

Hereinafter, a heating operation control system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The heating operation control system 1 is suitable for being provided in a cold region where the outside air temperature is usually below freezing in the winter, and FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the heating operation control system 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the heating operation control system 1 uses an electric heat pump heating device (air conditioner) 10 having a high heating capacity as a main heating device for heating a predetermined indoor space, and assists the heat pump heating device 10. Thus, the heat storage and heating device 20 for heating the indoor space is used as an auxiliary heating device.

  In addition, the apparatus structural example of the heating operation control system 1 is shown in FIG. The heating operation control system 1 includes a heat pump heating device 10, a heat storage heating device 20, a microcomputer, and the like, and a control device 30 that outputs a control command to both the devices 10 and 20 by computer processing.

  The heat storage heating device 20 includes a heat storage tank that stores heat, and for example, heats a predetermined space by radiating heat stored in the heat storage tank as warm air with the operation of the blower fan. However, it may be of the type in which a liquid or gaseous heat exchange medium is circulated through a pipe laid under the floor or the like and connected to the heat storage tank to heat the floor, thereby heating a predetermined space. The heat storage and heating device 20 may be an oil heating device or a gas heating device that does not use electric power as a main energy source. In this case, the heat storage amount corresponds to the storage amount of oil (kerosene) or gas.

  The heat pump heating device 10 is basically operated and controlled so that the indoor temperature is maintained at the set temperature while detecting the temperature of the indoor space under a preset indoor temperature (set temperature). The At this time, it goes without saying that the operating efficiency of the heat pump heating device 10 is controlled according to the outside air temperature. And this system 1 is heating the said heat pump heating apparatus 10 especially on the condition that the indoor temperature is performed by the driving | operation of such a heat pump heating apparatus 10, especially according to the outside temperature change, and outside temperature falls significantly. It is assumed that when the capacity is reduced, auxiliary heating of the room is performed using the heat storage and heating device 20.

  In FIG. 1, the control device 30 of the heating operation control system 1 includes weather information, specifically weather information, provided from the Japan Meteorological Agency or a weather information site (not shown) via an information communication line 3 such as the Internet network. And a weather information acquisition unit 11 that acquires predicted outside air temperature information (a predicted change pattern of the outside air temperature), and a regional characteristic acquisition unit that previously acquires a weight value (regional characteristic) for each specific region related to a change in the outside air temperature with respect to the weather. 12 is provided. Moreover, this control apparatus 30 is provided with the electric power information acquisition means 13 which acquires the electric power condition information which shows the stop plan of the electric power supply aiming at the peak cut of an electric power demand as needed.

  Incidentally, the weight value (regional characteristic) for each specific region is a correction (correction) coefficient specific to the region where the heat pump heating device and the heat storage heating device are provided for the weather information acquired from the Japan Meteorological Agency or the weather information site. is there. This weighting value (regional characteristic) is obtained by statistically processing past meteorological data consisting of weather and outside temperatures observed in advance at a plurality of observation points. For example, based on a method of quantification type 1, changes in weather and outside temperature are performed. It is obtained by quantifying individual regional characteristics related to the relationship.

  In other words, the weather information provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency or weather information sites, as shown in the concept of FIG. 3, is representative of that area, for example, by a fairly wide area set in advance, such as by prefecture or city. It is predicted as information at a point to be performed (indicated by ◎). However, even if it is included in the area (region) where the weather information is provided, it is not possible that there will be a difference in the outside air temperature and its change at each point with different geographical conditions depending on the topography, urban environment, etc. Absent. The weight values (regional characteristics) described above represent the regional characteristics of different weather conditions for each point.

  Note that the meteorological data for obtaining the above-described weighting values (regional characteristics) is, for example, as shown by the ● marks in FIG. 3 for each house at a plurality of points dispersed in the region (region). It is obtained by arranging sensors, collecting observation data at a certain interval in an aggregation server (not shown), and accumulating the collected data. Then, the collected / accumulated weather data is divided for each certain region using, for example, a clustering method, and a change pattern of the outside temperature with respect to the weather is obtained for each region as a weather characteristic unique to the region. Then, compare the weather characteristics of the area including the representative point described above with the weather characteristics of other areas, analyze the difference, and calculate the weight value for each area. Obtained as a correction (correction) coefficient for weather characteristics.

  Thus, the above-described regional characteristic acquisition means 12 is specific to the region according to which of the regions divided as described above the building (house) in which the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heating device 20 are installed. A weight value (regional characteristic) is acquired in advance. The weather information acquisition means 11 and the power information acquisition means 13 described above acquire, for example, the next day's weather information and the unexpected temperature change pattern, and further the next day's power supply plan before entering the nighttime power availability period. To do.

  Returning to FIG. 1, when the description of the heating operation control system 1 is advanced, the control device 30 of the system 1 calculates the weighting value (described above) from the weather information and unexpected temperature information acquired the next day by the weather information acquisition unit 11. The outside air temperature change predicting means 21 for obtaining the expected change pattern of the outside air temperature specific to the area where the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heating device 20 are installed is provided. The air conditioner operation schedule management means 22 determines the operation schedule of the heat pump heater 10 according to the specifications of the heat pump heater 10 that are obtained in advance, specifically, the air conditioner characteristic data 23 indicating the change in the heating capacity with respect to the outside air temperature. . The operation schedule of the air conditioner is obtained over, for example, one day from the start time of the above-described night power available time period to the next night power time period start time.

  In particular, the air conditioner operation schedule management means 22 determines that the unexpected temperature is less than −25 ° C. and, accordingly, the time zone in which the heating effect due to the operation of the heat pump heater 10 cannot be expected, the heat pump in that time zone. The operation schedule is set so as to stop the operation of the heating device 10. At this time, according to the power situation obtained by the power information acquisition means 13, that is, when the power supply stop period is notified, the operation schedule of the heat pump heating device 10 during the power supply stop period is set as the operation schedule. Needless to say, it may be incorporated into the system. The air conditioner operation control means 24 generates a control command for on / off control of the operation of the heat pump heating device 10 according to the operation schedule set as described above. This control command is transmitted to the heat pump heating apparatus 10 via the interface means 24a using infrared rays or the like.

  On the other hand, the room temperature change prediction means 25 refers to the relationship between the outside air temperature of the heat pump heating device 10 and the amount of heat supplied, which is indicated as the air conditioner characteristic, and the expected change in the outside air temperature predicted by the outside air temperature change prediction means 21. A future temperature change pattern of the indoor space due to heating of the heat pump heating device 10 is estimated based on the pattern. The estimation of the temperature (room temperature) change is also performed for one day from the start time of the above-mentioned night power use time period to the next night power time period start time.

  Then, the heat radiation operation management means 26 determines an operation schedule of auxiliary heating by the heat storage heating device 20 according to the temperature change pattern of the indoor space estimated by the room temperature change prediction means 25. The blower fan control means 27 that drives the heat storage heating device 20 to dissipate heat (heating operation) controls the operation of the heat storage heating device 20 according to the operation schedule. In other words, the blower fan of the heat storage heating device 20 is driven according to the operation schedule, and the release (heat radiation) of thermal energy from the heat storage tank of the heat storage heating device 20 is performed by blowing out warm air from the blower fan. As the heating capacity of the heat pump heating device 10 decreases, auxiliary heating of the indoor space is performed.

  In determining the operation schedule of the heat storage and heating device 20, it is desirable to manage the heat release amount in consideration of the heat storage characteristic (natural heat dissipation) 28 of the heat storage and heating device 20 that is obtained in advance. Further, based on the operation schedule of the heat storage and heating device 20 determined in this way, the amount of heat storage required to execute the operation schedule is calculated, and heat storage control is performed prior to heating the heat storage and heating device 20. It is desirable to store the necessary amount of heat under the control of means 29. The heat storage operation may be performed, for example, in a time zone in which the heat pump heating device 10 is entrusted with heating and the heat storage heating device 20 is not operated for heating, and the outside air temperature is relatively high.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic processing procedure in the heating operation control system 1 constructed by a plurality of functions shown in FIG. 3, particularly a processing procedure until determining a heat storage amount necessary for the heat storage heating device 20. .
As described above, this process is performed immediately before entering the nighttime electric power availability period, from the weather information site or the like via the Internet or the like, to which the area where the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heating device 20 belong is located. Acquire temperature prediction data and weather information (weather information such as sunny, cloudy, rain, snow, etc.) for the next day in a predetermined forecast target area, such as a prefecture or city <Steps S1, S2> . Thereafter, the temperature prediction data (outside air temperature change pattern) is obtained by using a weighted value (regional characteristic) for each region belonging to the prediction target region regarding the outside air temperature change with respect to the weather, which is obtained in advance by statistical processing from past weather data. ) To obtain an expected change pattern of the outside air temperature unique to the area <step S3>.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the temperature prediction data (outside temperature change pattern) A for the representative point of the specific forecast target area acquired via the Internet or the like is used as the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heater. It corrects using the weighting value (regional characteristic) peculiar to the area in which the apparatus 20 is provided, and obtains the predicted change pattern B of the outside air temperature applicable to the area (addition of regionality to the predicted air temperature).

  Next, according to the expected change pattern B of the outside air temperature obtained as described above, for example, referring to the specifications of the heat pump heating device 10 as shown in FIG. 6 (heating characteristics showing the relationship between the outside air temperature and the amount of supplied heat), the heat pump heating A time zone in which the heating effect due to the operation of the apparatus 10 cannot be expected is obtained <step S4>. If there is a power supply stop time zone, a time zone during which the heat pump heating apparatus 10 cannot be operated is set according to the power situation (step S5).

  Then, for example, as shown by a broken line C in FIG. 7, the temperature change pattern of the indoor space due to the heating operation of the heat pump heating device 10 is estimated <step S6>. That is, a decrease in room temperature is expected in a period in which the outside air temperature is greatly reduced and the heating capacity of the heat pump heating apparatus 10 is impaired, and in a period in which the heat pump heating apparatus 10 cannot be operated due to the stop of power supply. The temperature change pattern of the indoor space is estimated in consideration of a rise in room temperature that is expected to be supplemented by the auxiliary heating by the heat storage and heating device 20.

  Then, if the temperature change pattern of the indoor space is estimated, the amount of heat supplied by the auxiliary heating operation of the heat storage and heating device 20 necessary for managing the room temperature along the temperature change pattern is indicated by, for example, the solid line D in FIG. As shown, this is set as the operation management schedule (operation pattern) of the heat storage and heating device 20 <step S7>.

  Thereafter, the amount of heat (time integrated value of the amount of heat) released from the heat storage and heating device 20 to the indoor space by the operation of the heat storage and heating device 20 in accordance with the operation management schedule described above is necessary for the operation of the heat storage and heating device 20. Obtained as the amount of heat storage <Step S8>. At this time, in consideration of the amount of heat by natural heat radiation of the heat storage and heating device 20 shown as the characteristic E in FIG. 7, specifically, the amount of heat stored in the heat storage and heating device 20 is obtained by adding the amount of natural heat radiation. As described above, the heat storage control of the heat storage heating device 20 is executed according to the heat storage amount thus obtained.

  According to the heating operation control system configured as described above, even though the rough weather information provided from the weather information site or the like is used, the heating operation control system is specific to the district where the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heating device 20 are installed. Since the outside air temperature change pattern specific to the area is predicted from the weather information using weight values (regional characteristics), and the indoor temperature change due to heating using the heat pump heating device 10 is estimated according to the outside air temperature change pattern, The operation schedule of the regenerative heating device 20 that assists the heating by the heat pump heating device 10 can be estimated with high accuracy. As a result, it is possible to efficiently control the operation of the heat storage and heating device 20 and effectively heat the indoor space.

  In particular, in consideration of regional characteristics, a change pattern of the outside air temperature unique to the area where the heat pump heating device 10 and the regenerative heating device 20 are installed is obtained, and the heating capacity reduction period of the heat pump heating device 10 is determined according to the outside air temperature change pattern. Therefore, the heat storage heating device 20 is operated, so that the heat pump heating device 10 and the heat storage heating device 20 can be efficiently used together. Further, since the operation of the heat pump heating device 10 can be actively stopped during the period when the heating capacity of the heat pump heating device 10 is reduced due to the decrease in the outside air temperature, the wasteful operation of the heat pump heating device 10 is performed. It is possible to prevent power consumption due to. Therefore, it can also contribute to reduction of power consumption by heating operation.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. For example, in the case where the power rate varies depending on the time zone divided in advance in one day, an operation schedule is created such that the heat pump heating device 10 stops operating in a time zone where the power demand is high and the power rate is high, The same can be applied to the case where the heat storage and heating device 20 is operated according to the operation schedule.

  In addition, regarding the above-mentioned weighting values (regional characteristics) for each region in determining the outside temperature change pattern in the corresponding region, the rough weather data at the representative points provided from the weather information site and the past in each region It is also possible to obtain the deviation according to the weather from the statistical processing result of the meteorological data. In this case, the deviation may be added to the rough weather data (outside temperature change pattern) at the representative point provided from the weather information site to obtain the outside temperature change prediction pattern for each region.

  Furthermore, the above-described oil heating device, gas heating device, or the like can be used as the regenerative heating device 20 for auxiliary heating, and it is of course possible to use these plural types of heating devices in combination. In addition, the present invention can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.
