<Demand calendar>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a demand calendar according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “demand calendar” 0100 of this embodiment includes one electricity billing period (for example, September 8, 2010 to October 7, 2010) on one sheet, Occupied a `` constant section '' on a daily basis from the first day to the last day of each day, the sections of the same week are arranged horizontally from left to right, and the sections of the same day of the week are vertically aligned from top to bottom A calendar arranged side by side. As shown in FIG. 1, the date of the day is displayed in the section of each day in the same manner as a normal calendar.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of each day section of the demand calendar according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “division of each day” 0200 of the demand calendar of this embodiment has a “time axis” 0201, a “demand value axis” 0202, and a “demand value indication” 0203. Here, the demand value means the average power used in the demand time period. The demand time period is a time interval set by an electric power company or the like. For example, a unit of 30 minutes such as “0 to 30 minutes, 30 to 60 minutes” can be considered.

  Since the demand value is used to calculate the basic rate of electricity charges and is used as a reference for contracted power, the situation of past power usage so as not to update the maximum value for a predetermined period in the past (for example, the past 12 months) It is necessary to take measures in view of the above.

  The “time axis” is arranged as the horizontal axis of each day section, with the passage of time from the left to the right so as to be the same time scale on the same day of the week when viewed in the vertical direction. . FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a section on a certain day and a section on the same day of the week following. As shown in this figure, it is possible to grasp the demand value of a predetermined demand period in one section and easily compare it with the demand value of the same demand period in other sections by shifting the line of sight in the vertical direction. Become.

  In addition, the “demand value axis” is arranged so that the same demand value is graduated in the sections of each day of the same week when viewed in the horizontal direction as the vertical axis of the sections of each day. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a section on one day and a section on the next day. As shown in this figure, it is possible to easily compare with the peak demand value of another section by grasping the peak demand value in one section and shifting the line of sight in the horizontal direction.

  “Demand value indication” instructs the demand value of each demand time limit according to the scale of each axis in each day section. Here, as the demand value instruction, it is possible to display a bar as shown in FIG. 2 or the like, and it is also possible to display a point, a line, a curve, or the like, and various modes are conceivable. .

  When one electricity billing period has not expired, it is conceivable that a demand value instruction up to a time limit in which data of one electricity billing period exists is represented in the demand calendar.

  It is also conceivable to display so that sections with similar power usage modes can be seen in one electricity billing period. For example, the color of the date of the section where the maximum daily demand value is “0 to 50 (kW)” is “blue”, the color of the date of the section of “50 to 75 (kW)” is “green”, The color of the date of the section of “75 to 100 (kW)” is “yellow”, the color of the date of the section of “100 (kW) to” is “red”, and so on, depending on the size of the maximum demand value. Can be grouped together. With this configuration, it is possible to grasp at a glance how the days with the largest maximum demand value are distributed on the calendar. It is also possible to group by the average demand value of the day instead of the maximum demand value of the day, or by grouping by the total power consumption of the day. Also, instead of changing the date color, it is also possible to change the background color of the section, the axis / scale color, the demand value indication color, and the like.

<Demand calendar creation device>
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the demand calendar creation apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “demand calendar creation device” 0500 of the present embodiment includes a “demand value information acquisition unit” 0501, a “daily partition arrangement unit” 0502, a “time axis arrangement unit” 0503, and a “demand A value axis arrangement unit ”0504 and a“ demand value instruction arrangement unit ”0505 are provided.

  Note that the functional blocks of the apparatus described below can be realized as hardware, software, or both hardware and software. The present invention can be realized not only as an apparatus but also as a method. A part of the invention can be configured as software. Furthermore, a software product used for causing a computer to execute such software and a recording medium in which the product is fixed to a recording medium are naturally included in the technical scope of the present invention (the same applies throughout the present specification). Is).

  The “demand value information acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring demand value information for each demand period in one electricity billing period. The demand value information acquisition unit includes, for example, a processing operation device such as an MPU or CPU, or a storage device such as a RAM or ROM. Specifically, it is realized by sequentially executing each process of a program stored in a ROM or the like by a processing arithmetic device (hereinafter, a daily section arrangement unit, a time axis arrangement unit, a demand value axis arrangement unit, a demand value The same applies to the instruction arrangement unit).

  The demand value information can be acquired from a measurement device, a server device, or the like via a wired or wireless network, or can be acquired via an operation input device. The acquired demand value information is stored in a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, or the like.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of demand value information. In the example of this figure, the demand value information is in a table format in which each date of the electricity billing period, each demand time period, and the demand value (kW) are associated. For example, the demand value of the demand time period from 00:00 to 0:30 on September 8 is 38.0 (kW).

  In addition, when the demand value of each demand time period is calculated by the sum of the average power consumption of a plurality of places, a configuration of acquiring information on the average power usage amount of each demand time period in each place is also conceivable. For example, information on the average power usage of each demand time period of the rooms A to F is acquired, and the demand value of each demand time period is acquired by calculating the sum of the average power usage of each demand time period of all the rooms. It is possible.

  The demand value information acquisition unit can be configured to acquire information on demand values for each demand period in another electricity billing period in addition to information on demand values for each demand period in one electricity billing period. It is. For example, it is conceivable to acquire information on demand values for each demand period in the past three electricity billing periods for one electricity billing period.

  The “daily partition placement unit” occupies a fixed partition in units of days from the first day to the last day of the electricity billing period, arranges the sections of the same week horizontally from left to right, and the same day of the week Has a function of arranging the sections of each day side by side in the vertical direction from top to bottom. In addition, the shape and size of the section of each day are the same. Information such as the shape, size, and arrangement position of the sections is stored in the storage device in advance, and these information are read out when each process of the daily section arrangement program is executed by the processing operation device. In addition, the structure which receives the input of these information suitably via an operation input apparatus is also possible.

  The “time axis arrangement part” indicates the time elapsed from the left to the right so that the horizontal axis of each day section is the same time scale on the same day of the week when viewed in the vertical direction. Has the function of arranging the shaft. Here, information such as the position at which the time axis is arranged in the section and the scale interval of the time axis are stored in the storage device in advance, and these information are stored when the process of the time axis arrangement program is executed by the processing arithmetic unit. read out.

  In addition, the time axis arrangement unit may be configured to include a unit that accepts a setting input via the operation input device and sets the scale range of the time axis. For example, when each demand time period from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock is set as the scale range of the time axis of all sections, it can be considered to set each demand time period from 8 o'clock to 22 o'clock by setting input. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to display only the information on the required demand period.

  “Demand Value Axis Arrangement Unit” is a function that arranges the demand value axis so that the same demand value is graduated in the division of each day of the same week when viewed in the horizontal direction as the vertical axis of the division of each day. Have Here, information such as the position where the demand value axis is arranged in the section and the scale interval of the demand value axis is stored in the storage device in advance, and each process of the demand value axis arrangement program is executed by the processing arithmetic unit. These pieces of information are read out.

  Note that the demand value arrangement unit may be configured to have a means for accepting a setting input via the operation input device and setting the scale range of the demand value axis. For example, when the scale range of the demand value axis of all sections is set from 0 [kW] to 150 [kW], it may be set from 25 [kW] to 125 [kW] by setting input. By setting it as the said structure, it becomes possible to cut off an excess scale range.

  The “demand value instruction arrangement unit” has a function of arranging a demand value instruction for instructing a demand value for each demand period according to the scale of each axis in each day section. The demand value instruction program extracts a demand value for each demand time period of each day from the demand value information, and arranges the demand value instruction on the basis of the scale of the time axis and the demand value axis. When the demand value instruction is a bar display, the process displays a bar at the height of the corresponding demand value. When the demand value instruction is a point or an icon, the point or icon is displayed at the corresponding demand value position. Process.

  In addition, when the demand value for each demand time period is calculated by the sum of the average power used at multiple locations, the demand value indication (bar display, etc.) is divided by color for each location, and each divided part is assigned to each location. It is also possible to show the average power used. In this case, it may be possible to show a correspondence table of each location and color in the margin of the demand calendar.

  The demand calendar data output by the demand calendar creation device described above can be output to a printer device and printed, or can be output to a display device and displayed. It is also possible to record on a recording medium or to transmit to other devices on the network using a communication device (the same applies to the following embodiments).

  Moreover, the structure which further has a display content change part which changes the display content by receiving the operation input with respect to the demand calendar currently displayed on the display is also possible.

  For example, when an operation of dragging a section of a day in a demand calendar to a section of another day is received, the demand time indication of each section of a day in response to the demand value indication of each demand period of the section of another day It is conceivable to display the demand value instructions in an overlapping manner. When displaying in an overlapping manner, the indication mode is made different so that the demand value indication on one day and the demand value indication on another day can be clearly distinguished. Specifically, a demand value instruction on one day may be displayed as a broken line, and a demand value instruction on another day may be displayed as a bar, or the color may be changed.

  In addition, when an operation is performed to select a parcel on one day and a parcel on another day, the difference between the demand value for each demand period in the parcel on one day and the demand value for each demand period in the parcel on another day is calculated. It is also conceivable that the difference value instruction for instructing the difference value according to the scale of each axis is superimposed and displayed in a section on one day and / or another section on another day. Note that the difference value instruction can be different in color depending on whether the demand value of a section on a certain day is large or not (for example, positive is represented by blue and negative is represented by red).

  In addition, when an operation (including an operation to specify a range) for selecting a plurality of day partitions is performed, an average value, a minimum value, and a maximum value of demand values for each demand time period of the plurality of day partitions are calculated. It is also conceivable to display a calculated value instruction that indicates the calculated value according to the scale of each axis, overlaid on a plurality of day sections. It should be noted that the average value calculation value instruction, the minimum value calculation value instruction, and the maximum value calculation value instruction may have different instruction modes so as to be clearly distinguishable from the demand value instruction.

  In addition, when an operation for selecting a partition of a certain day is performed, a process of extracting a partition of another day indicating power usage close to the power usage of the partition of a certain day is performed, and It is conceivable that the display mode indicates that the section is close to the power usage of the section. For example, if you extract a parcel on another day that has a maximum demand value that is close to the maximum demand value of the parcel on one day (for example, a difference of ± 10%), It is conceivable that the color is changed from the default color and displayed, the background color is changed, or an icon is attached.

<Specific configuration>
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a configuration when the functional components of the demand calendar creation apparatus are realized as hardware. The operation of the hardware configuration unit will be described using this figure.

  As shown in this figure, the demand calendar creation device described above includes “CPU” 0701, “RAM” 0702, “ROM” 0703, “auxiliary storage device” 0704, “display device” 0705, and “communication”. Device "0706," printer device "0707, and" operation input device "0708. These components are connected to each other by a data communication path of “system bus” 0709, and perform transmission / reception and processing of information. Although omitted in this figure, the auxiliary storage device, the display device, the communication device, the printer device, and the operation input device are connected to the system bus via an “interface”.

  The ROM stores a demand value information acquisition program, a daily partition arrangement program, a time axis arrangement program, a demand value axis arrangement program, a demand value instruction arrangement program, and the like, which are read out to the RAM as necessary and stored in the CPU. Executed.

  When the CPU receives a demand calendar output command via the operation input device, the CPU executes a demand value information acquisition program, acquires demand value information of the electricity billing period via the communication device, and stores it in the RAM. Process. In addition, when the information on the demand value of the electricity billing period exists in the auxiliary storage device in advance, a process of reading from the auxiliary storage device to the RAM is performed. The demand calendar output command may include information on the electricity billing period to be obtained, etc., and the electricity billing period to be obtained is automatically determined based on the current date by the demand value information obtaining program. May be.

  Subsequently, the CPU executes a daily partition allocation program, occupies a fixed partition on a daily basis from the first day to the last day of the electricity billing period, and moves the partition of each day of the same week from left to right. The calendar display data in which the sections of the same day of the week are arranged in the vertical direction from top to bottom are generated and stored in the RAM.

  Subsequently, the CPU executes the time axis arrangement program, and when viewing the calendar display data stored in the RAM in the vertical direction as the horizontal axis of each day, the same day of the week in each day A process for generating calendar display data with a time axis in which the time axis is arranged as time elapses from left to right so that the same time scale is obtained is stored in the RAM.

  Subsequently, the CPU executes the demand value axis arrangement program, and when the calendar display data with time axis stored in the RAM is viewed in the horizontal direction as the vertical axis of each day section, each CPU of the same week A process for generating calendar display data with both axes in which the demand value axes are arranged so as to have the same demand value scale in the day section is performed and stored in the RAM.

  Subsequently, the CPU executes a demand value instruction arrangement program, and a demand value instruction for instructing a demand value in each day section according to the scale of each axis with respect to the calendar display data with both axes stored in the RAM. Is generated and stored in the RAM.

  In the above, the daily partition arrangement program, the time axis arrangement program, the demand value axis arrangement program, and the demand value instruction arrangement program are sequentially executed, but a program capable of performing these processes collectively is executed. Is also possible.

  The demand-added calendar display data generated by the above processing can also be output to a display device, printer device, auxiliary storage device, or transmitted via a communication device.

<How to create a demand calendar>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the processing flow of the demand calendar creation method of the present embodiment. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S801, information on demand values for each demand period in one electricity billing period is acquired (demand value information acquisition step). Next, in step S0802, a fixed section is occupied in units of days from the first day to the last day of the electricity billing period, and the sections of the same week are arranged horizontally from left to right. The day sections are arranged vertically from top to bottom (day section placement step). Next, in step S0803, as the horizontal axis of each day section, the time axis from the left to the right is elapsed so that the same time scale of the same day of the week is obtained in each day section when viewed in the vertical direction. Arrange (time axis arrangement step). Next, in step S0804, the demand value axis is arranged so that the same demand value scale is obtained in each day section of the same week when viewed in the horizontal direction as the vertical axis of each day section (demand value axis). Placement step). Next, in step S0805, a demand value instruction for instructing a demand value for each demand time limit is arranged according to the scale of each axis in each day section (demand value instruction arrangement step).

<Effect>
According to the present invention configured as described above, the demand value of each demand time period of each day is grasped, and the demand value of another day of the same week or the same day of the week of the other week can be determined only by shifting the line of sight. It becomes possible to easily compare with the demand value.

<< Embodiment 2 >>

<Demand calendar>
As shown in FIG. 9, the “demand calendar” of the present embodiment is basically the same as the demand calendar described in the first embodiment, but is ideal in each demand time period according to the scale of each axis in each day section. It further has an “ideal demand value indication” 0901 that designates a demand value to be assumed.

  Here, the ideal demand value instruction can be distinguished from the demand value instruction at a glance. For example, when the demand value instruction is a bar display, the ideal demand value instruction is a curve display or a line display, and when the demand value instruction is a line display or a curve display, the ideal demand value instruction is a bar display. It is done. It is also conceivable to change the color of the demand value instruction and the ideal demand value instruction.

  With the above configuration, the actual demand value for each demand period can be compared with the ideal demand value, and at the same time, the ideal demand can be obtained by shifting the line of sight horizontally or vertically. You can see at a glance how the values differ from day to day. For example, it is possible to easily grasp how the demand value that should be ideal in each demand time period on Wednesday and the demand value that should be ideal in each demand time period on Thursday differ from each other.

  It should be noted that the demand value indication color for each demand time period can be different depending on whether the demand value for each demand time period exceeds the ideal demand value or not. For example, the demand value instruction (for example, bar display or point display) in the demand time period that exceeds the ideal demand value instruction is orange, and the demand value instruction color in the demand time period that does not exceed the ideal demand value instruction is blue Can be considered.

  The color of the demand value indication for each demand time period is green or blue when the demand value is less than the ideal demand value, and yellow when the demand value is less than the predetermined amount with respect to the ideal demand value. When the demand value exceeds the ideal demand value by a predetermined amount or more, it can be red. Here, the predetermined amount may be, for example, a predetermined percentage (for example, 5%) of the ideal demand value in each demand time period.

  The ideal demand value can also be a value determined based on the demand value of the demand time period under similar conditions in the past. For example, the ideal demand value for one demand time period on a certain day may be a value determined based on the past minimum demand value that satisfies the conditions of the same day of the week, the same demand time period, and the near temperature (± 3 ° C range). Conceivable. It is also conceivable to use a value determined on the basis of a past minimum demand value that satisfies the conditions of the same day of the week, the same demand time limit, and the approximate total power consumption (± 500 kWh).

<Demand calendar creation device>
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the demand calendar creation device according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “demand calendar creation device” 1000 according to the present embodiment includes a “demand value information acquisition unit” 1001, a “day division arrangement unit” 1002, a “time axis arrangement unit” 1003, and a “demand A value axis arrangement unit 1004, a demand value instruction arrangement unit 1005, an ideal demand value information acquisition unit 1006, and an ideal demand value instruction arrangement unit 1007. The “ideal demand value information acquisition unit” and the “ideal demand value instruction arrangement unit”, which are the differences from the first embodiment, will be described below.

  The “ideal demand value information acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring information on an ideal demand value that is an ideal demand value in each demand time period of the electricity billing period.

  The ideal demand value information acquisition unit includes, for example, a processing operation device such as an MPU or CPU, a storage device such as a RAM or ROM, and the like. Specifically, it is realized by sequentially executing a process of an ideal demand value information acquisition program stored in a ROM or the like by a processing arithmetic device (hereinafter, the same applies to an ideal demand value instruction arrangement unit).

  The information on the ideal demand value can be acquired from a server device or the like via a wired or wireless network, or can be acquired via an operation input device. The acquired ideal demand value information is stored in a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, or the like.

  Further, a configuration in which the information on the ideal demand value is determined by the processing arithmetic device based on the information on the demand value is also conceivable. For example, when determining an ideal demand value for one demand period of a certain day, a demand value that satisfies the same day of the same electricity billing period and / or the same electricity billing period and the same demand time period is extracted, It is conceivable to perform processing for setting the minimum value of the demand value as an ideal demand value of the demand time limit. If temperature information is acquired for each demand time period, demand values for other demand time periods that satisfy the conditions of the same day of the week, the same demand time period, and the near air temperature (± 3 ° C range) are extracted, and these demands are extracted. It is also possible to perform processing for setting the smallest value among the values as the ideal demand value. In addition, instead of the temperature, it is also conceivable to use information on the weather of each day and the total power consumption as a condition.

  The “ideal demand value indication arrangement unit” has a function of arranging an ideal demand value indication that designates an ideal demand value for each demand period in accordance with the scale of each axis in each day section. The ideal demand value instruction program extracts ideal demand values for each demand time period of each day from ideal demand value information, and arranges ideal demand value instructions on the basis of the scales of the time axis and the demand value axis. When the ideal demand value indication is a line display, the ideal demand values for each demand period are connected and displayed by line segments.

  In addition, the demand value indication arrangement unit displays the demand value indication color for each demand time period as green or blue when the demand value is less than the ideal demand value, and the demand value is less than the predetermined amount with respect to the ideal demand value. It is also possible to adopt a configuration having “signal color setting means” for setting so that yellow is displayed when the demand exceeds the ideal demand value and red when the demand value exceeds a predetermined amount. is there.

  Further, the “ideal demand value information acquisition unit” may include a configuration input receiving unit that receives setting input of an ideal demand value for each demand period. For example, the user or consultant can set the ideal demand value by inputting the ideal demand value for each demand period for each day of the week from Monday to Sunday or public holidays, or by moving the ideal demand value indication for each demand period up or down. Can be considered. Setting input can be performed by a general operation input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, or a touch panel.
