Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to an energization control system and method.

Until now, electricity has been exchanged only between utilities. In recent years, forms of power interchange, such as negawatt transactions that reduce peak power demand by managing the load of consumers collectively, have begun to be studied, but most of the mechanisms that support power interchange between individuals have been studied. Absent.
Conventionally, a system for charging a true user for the amount of power used when using an electrical device using an external outlet is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Next, in step S7, the energization control unit 12a3 controls whether to energize the electrical device 16a from the wall outlet 15a based on the command.
For example, when the authentication unit 11a permits energization from the wall outlet 15a to the electric device 16a in step S3, the energization control unit 12a3 energizes the wall outlet 15a to the electric device 16a.
On the other hand, if the authentication unit 11a does not permit energization from the wall outlet 15a to the electrical device 16a in step S3, the energization control unit 12a3 does not energize the electrical device 16a from the wall outlet 15a.
Next, in step S8, the communication unit 12a4 of the adapter 12a transmits the control result performed by the energization control unit 12a3 to the mobile terminal device 13. The display unit 13e of the mobile terminal device 13 displays the control result. The owner of the wall outlet 15a (supplier of surplus power) or the user of the electric device 16a determines whether or not the wall outlet 15a is energized from the wall outlet 15a according to the control result displayed on the display unit 13e. And it can be grasped | ascertained whether electricity supply from the wall outlet 15a to the electric equipment 16a was complete | finished.

Next, in step S37 of FIG. 6, the user of the electrical device 16a ends the use of the power interchange support service.
Next, in step S38, the user of the electric device 16a removes the electric device 16a from the power cable 12b and removes the power cable 12b from the adapter 12a.

Steps S32, S33, and S34 in FIG. 6 may be omitted.
In step S35 of FIG. 6, the user of the electric device 16b connects the power cable of the electric device 16b to the adapter 12a.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, in step S1 of FIG. 7, the identification unit 13a of the mobile terminal device 13 identifies the identification information 12a5 of the adapter 12a and the identification information 16b1 of the electric device 16b.
In step S3 of FIG. 7, the authentication unit 11a of the server device 11 has a demand indicating the relationship between the identification result, the position of the wall outlet 15b in the distribution network, the power consumption of other consumers in the distribution network, and the time. Based on the curve (see FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, FIG. 8C and FIG. 8D) and the time when the electrical equipment 16b is energized from the wall outlet 15b, the wall outlet It is authenticated whether or not energization from 15b to the electric device 16b can be permitted.
In step S5 of FIG. 7, whether or not the energization control command unit 13c of the mobile terminal device 13 causes the energization control unit 12a3 of the adapter 12a to energize the electrical device 16b from the wall outlet 15b based on the authentication result. Issue a command.
In step S7 in FIG. 7, the energization control unit 12a3 controls whether to energize the electrical device 16b from the wall outlet 15b based on the command.

  According to the energization control system 1 of the third embodiment, it is possible to suppress energization from the wall outlet 15b to an electrical device that is not permitted to be energized, and to improve the power supply / demand balance.
