You may do so.

通信部は、需要者の構内における電力を管理するエネルギー管理システムと通信を確立し、情報取得部は、エネルギー管理システムから、受電点における受電電力情報を取得するとしてもよい。 The communication unit may establish communication with an energy management system that manages the electric power in the premises of the consumer, and the information acquisition unit may acquire the electric power received information at the receiving point from the energy management system.

<第1の実施形態>
図1は、電力システム100の接続態様を示した説明図である。電力システム100は、引き込み線10を通じて、電力系統12から電気(商用電力)の供給を受ける。なお、本実施形態においては、電力系統12から電力が供給される供給路において、各設備を基準に電力系統12側を一次側、その反対側を二次側として定義する。
<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a connection mode of the power system 100. The electric power system 100 receives electricity (commercial electric power) from the electric power system 12 through the service line 10. In the present embodiment, in the supply path to which power is supplied from the power system 12, the power system 12 side is defined as the primary side and the opposite side is defined as the secondary side based on each facility.

電力システム100は、低圧受電の需要者単位で構成され、その範囲としては、一般用電気工作物であれば、家屋等に限らず、病院、工場、ホテル、レジャー施設、商業施設、マンションといった建物単位や建物内の一部分であってもよい。 The electric power system 100 is composed of each consumer of low-voltage power reception, and its scope is not limited to houses and the like as long as it is a general electric facility, but buildings such as hospitals, factories, hotels, leisure facilities, commercial facilities, and condominiums. It may be a unit or a part of a building.

また、電力システム100は、電力メータ112と、分電盤114と、電力供給設備116とを含んで構成される。 Further, the power system 100 includes a power meter 112, a distribution board 114, and a power supply facility 116.

電力メータ(電力量計)112は、電力系統12に引き込み線10を介して接続され、引き込み線10と電力システム100との間に流れる(消費および売電の)電流の電流値および電圧値を計測する。また、電力メータ112は、電圧線の電流値、電圧線と中性線との線間電圧値、ならびに、電圧の位相に基づく力率値とを乗じて受電電力を導出する。さらに、電力メータ112は、受電電力を積算し、例えば、1ヶ月分の電力使用量(kWh)を導出する。なお、電力メータ112は、分電盤114の一次側に契約容量を示すサービスブレーカ112aを含んで構成される。 The watt hour meter 112 is connected to the power system 12 via a service line 10 and measures the current value and voltage value of the current (consuming and selling power) flowing between the service line 10 and the power system 100. measure. Further, the power meter 112 derives the received power by multiplying the current value of the voltage line, the line voltage value between the voltage line and the neutral line, and the power factor value based on the phase of the voltage. Further, the watt hour meter 112 integrates the received power and derives, for example, one month's power consumption (kWh). The power meter 112 includes a service breaker 112a indicating a contracted capacity on the primary side of the distribution board 114.

また、本実施形態において、電力メータ112は、電力使用量をデジタルで計測するスマートメータであり、外部と無線または有線の通信を確立する通信部(図示せず)を有する。電力メータ112の通信部は、受電電力や電力使用量等の電力情報を外部に送信することができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the power meter 112 is a smart meter that digitally measures the amount of power used, and has a communication unit (not shown) that establishes wireless or wired communication with the outside. The communication unit of the watt-hour meter 112 can transmit power information such as received power and power usage to the outside.

分電盤114は、電力メータ112の二次側に接続され、漏電ブレーカ114a、および、配線用(安全)ブレーカ114bを有する。漏電ブレーカ114aは、漏電の検出に応じて電気の供給を遮断する。ここで、漏電ブレーカ114aは、漏電遮断機能付き過電流遮断器、および、漏電遮断機能のみを有する漏電遮断器のいずれの概念も含んでいる。配線用ブレーカ114bは、内部配線(主幹バー)を介して漏電ブレーカ114aと接続され、構内配線120に流れる電流が定格遮断電流を超過すると電気の供給を遮断する。 The distribution board 114 is connected to the secondary side of the electricity meter 112 and has an earth leakage breaker 114a and a wiring (safety) breaker 114b. The earth leakage breaker 114a cuts off the supply of electricity in response to the detection of the earth leakage. Here, the earth leakage breaker 114a includes both the concept of an overcurrent circuit breaker with an earth leakage breaker function and an earth leakage breaker having only an earth leakage breaker function. The wiring breaker 114b is connected to the earth leakage breaker 114a via the internal wiring (main bar), and cuts off the supply of electricity when the current flowing through the premises wiring 120 exceeds the rated breaking current.

需要者は、構内配線120それぞれに1または複数の負荷設備14を接続し、上述した、漏電ブレーカ114a、配線用ブレーカ114b、および、構内配線120を通じて電力の供給を受ける。 The consumer connects one or more load facilities 14 to each of the premises wiring 120, and receives power through the above-mentioned earth leakage breaker 114a, the wiring breaker 114b, and the premises wiring 120.

電力供給設備116は、分電盤114における複数の構内配線120のいずれか(単相3線式100V)に接続され、他のエネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換して電力を生成する。電力供給設備116は、出力電圧等を調整することで、生成した電力を電力系統12より優先して構内の負荷設備14に供給することができる。 The power supply facility 116 is connected to one of a plurality of premises wirings 120 (single-phase three-wire 100V) in the distribution board 114, and converts other energy into electric energy to generate electric power. By adjusting the output voltage and the like, the power supply facility 116 can supply the generated power to the load facility 14 on the premises with priority over the power system 12.

かかる電力供給設備116としては、例えば、太陽光発電機、風力発電機、水力発電機、地熱発電機、太陽熱発電機、大気中熱発電機等の再生可能エネルギー発電設備や、燃料電池、内燃力発電、蓄電池等を用いることができる。ここでは、電力供給設備116を屋外に設置する例を挙げて説明する。したがって、電力供給設備116は屋外(屋外防水)コンセント122を通じて構内配線120に接続することができる。 Examples of the power supply facility 116 include renewable energy power generation facilities such as solar power generators, wind power generators, hydroelectric power generators, geothermal power generators, solar heat generators, and atmospheric heat generators, fuel cells, and internal combustion power generation. , Storage batteries and the like can be used. Here, an example in which the power supply facility 116 is installed outdoors will be described. Therefore, the power supply facility 116 can be connected to the premises wiring 120 through the outdoor (outdoor waterproof) outlet 122.

電力供給設備116は、発電部116aと、設備電流計116bと、通信部116cと、制御部116dとを有している。発電部116aは、例えば、燃料電池等で構成され、他のエネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換して電力を生成する。設備電流計116bは、例えば、変流器(CT)と整流器とで構成され、発電部116aから出力される電流(以下、設備電流という)を測定する。通信部116cは、無線で外部と通信を確立し、様々な情報を受信することができる。 The power supply facility 116 includes a power generation unit 116a, an equipment ammeter 116b, a communication unit 116c, and a control unit 116d. The power generation unit 116a is composed of, for example, a fuel cell or the like, and converts other energy into electric energy to generate electric power. The equipment ammeter 116b is composed of, for example, a current transformer (CT) and a rectifier, and measures a current (hereinafter, referred to as equipment current) output from the power generation unit 116a. The communication unit 116c can wirelessly establish communication with the outside and receive various information.

制御部116dは、中央処理装置(CPU)、プログラム等が格納されたROM、ワークエリアとしてのRAM等を含む半導体集積回路で構成され、設備電流が所望の値になるように、発電部116aの出力(電流)を制御する。 The control unit 116d is composed of a semiconductor integrated circuit including a central processing unit (CPU), a ROM in which a program or the like is stored, a RAM as a work area, etc. Control the output (current).

このような電力供給設備116を構内配線120に接続することで、電力系統だけでは不足する負荷設備14への電力を電力供給設備116で補うことができる。なお、ここでは、制御部116dが電力供給設備116と一体的に形成される例を挙げて説明しているが、別体として設けられてもよい。 By connecting such a power supply facility 116 to the premises wiring 120, the power supply facility 116 can supplement the power to the load facility 14 that is insufficient only by the power system. Although the control unit 116d is described here with an example of being integrally formed with the power supply facility 116, it may be provided as a separate body.

このような電力供給設備116では、電力供給設備116から離隔した受電点における受電電力が参照される。電力供給設備116は、参照した受電電力に基づいて、受電電力を所定の値に維持する受電電力一定制御、RPR(逆電力継電器)機能、UPR(不足電力継電器)機能を実現することが可能となる。 In such a power supply facility 116, the received power at a power receiving point separated from the power supply facility 116 is referred to. The power supply facility 116 is capable of realizing constant power reception control, RPR (reverse power relay) function, and UPR (insufficient power relay) function for maintaining the received power at a predetermined value based on the referenced power received. Become.

しかし、電力供給設備116を屋外に設置する場合、電力供給設備116が受電電力を参照するために、分電盤114等において屋内で測定された電流値等の情報を屋外に伝達しなければならず、家屋の壁に貫通孔を施す必要が生じ、設置工事にコストを要してしまう。そこで、本実施形態では、家屋の壁に貫通孔を施さないことでコストの増大を回避しつつ、電力を適切に出力する。 However, when the power supply facility 116 is installed outdoors, the power supply facility 116 must transmit information such as the current value measured indoors on the distribution board 114 or the like to the outdoors in order to refer to the received power. Instead, it is necessary to make a through hole in the wall of the house, which requires cost for installation work. Therefore, in the present embodiment, electric power is appropriately output while avoiding an increase in cost by not providing a through hole in the wall of the house.

上述したように、電力メータ112は、計測した受電電力等の電力情報を、無線を通じて外部に送信することができる。ここでは、電力メータ112の電力情報を、無線を通じて電力供給設備116に送信する。電力供給設備116では、その電力情報に基づいて受電電力を参照する。 As described above, the power meter 112 can wirelessly transmit power information such as the measured power received to the outside. Here, the power information of the power meter 112 is transmitted wirelessly to the power supply facility 116. The power supply facility 116 refers to the received power based on the power information.

このような無線による受電電力の参照を実現するため、電力供給設備116の制御部116dは、プログラムを動作させることで、情報取得部140、電力導出部142、出力制御部144としても機能する。 In order to realize such wireless reference of the received power, the control unit 116d of the power supply facility 116 also functions as an information acquisition unit 140, a power extraction unit 142, and an output control unit 144 by operating a program.

図2は、電力供給設備116による受電電力一定制御の処理を説明するためのフローチャートである。ここでは、受電電力を用いた制御として受電電力一定制御を挙げて説明するが、本実施形態が、RPR(逆電力継電器)機能やUPR機能(不足電力継電器)にも対応するのは言うまでもない。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the process of constant power reception control by the power supply facility 116. Here, the constant power received control will be described as the control using the received power, but it goes without saying that this embodiment also corresponds to the RPR (reverse power relay) function and the UPR function (insufficient power relay).

まず、情報取得部140は、通信部116cによる無線通信を通じ、電力メータ112から、受電点Aにおける電力情報のうち、受電電力を特定可能な受電電力情報(例えば、受電電力自体や、電圧線の電流値、電圧線と中性線との線間電圧値、ならびに、電圧の位相に基づく力率値)を取得する(S200)。 First, the information acquisition unit 140 receives power information (for example, the received power itself or a voltage line) that can specify the received power among the power information at the power receiving point A from the power meter 112 through wireless communication by the communication unit 116c. The current value, the line voltage value between the voltage line and the neutral line, and the power factor value based on the phase of the voltage) are acquired (S200).

電力導出部142は、情報取得部140が取得した受電電力情報に基づいて(例えば、電圧線の電流値、電圧線と中性線との線間電圧値、ならびに、電圧の位相に基づく力率値とを乗じて)、受電点Aにおける受電電力を導出する(S202)。なお、情報取得部140が受電電力情報として受電電力自体を取得した場合、電力導出部142は、なんら処理を行わない。こうして、単相3線式100/200Vの受電電力を適切に参照することができる。 The power deriving unit 142 is based on the received power information acquired by the information acquisition unit 140 (for example, the current value of the voltage line, the line voltage value between the voltage line and the neutral line, and the power factor based on the phase of the voltage. Multiply by the value) to derive the received power at the receiving point A (S202). When the information acquisition unit 140 acquires the received power itself as the received power information, the power out-licensing unit 142 does not perform any processing. In this way, the received power of the single-phase three-wire system 100 / 200V can be appropriately referred to.

出力制御部144は、電力導出部142が導出した受電電力が所定の値となるように、発電部116aの出力電力を制御する(S204)。例えば、出力制御部144は、受電電力が増加すると、発電部116aの出力電力を減少させ、受電電力が減少すると、発電部116aの出力電力を増加させる。このようなS200〜S204の処理を繰り返すことで、受電電力一定制御を実現できる。 The output control unit 144 controls the output power of the power generation unit 116a so that the received power derived by the power lead-out unit 142 has a predetermined value (S204). For example, the output control unit 144 decreases the output power of the power generation unit 116a when the received power increases, and increases the output power of the power generation unit 116a when the received power decreases. By repeating the processes of S200 to S204, constant power reception control can be realized.

かかる電力システム100では、分電盤114等において屋内で測定された電流値等の情報を屋外に伝達する線を設ける必要がないので、家屋の壁に貫通孔を施さなくて済み、コストの増大を回避しつつ、電力を適切に出力することが可能となる。 In such a power system 100, since it is not necessary to provide a line for transmitting information such as a current value measured indoors on the distribution board 114 or the like to the outside, it is not necessary to provide a through hole in the wall of the house, which increases the cost. It is possible to output electric power appropriately while avoiding the above.

<第2の実施形態>
第1の実施形態では、電力供給設備116が、電力メータ112の機能を利用して受電電力を参照する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、電力供給設備116と電力メータ112との位置関係(電波環境)や、セキュリティ上の問題から電力供給設備116と電力メータ112とが直接通信を行うことができない場合がある。第2の実施形態では、電力システム150を挙げ、このような場合であっても、電力メータ112の受電電力情報を利用する態様を説明する。
<Second embodiment>
In the first embodiment, an example in which the power supply facility 116 refers to the received power by using the function of the power meter 112 has been described. However, there are cases where the power supply equipment 116 and the power meter 112 cannot directly communicate with each other due to the positional relationship (radio environment) between the power supply equipment 116 and the power meter 112 and security problems. In the second embodiment, the power system 150 is mentioned, and even in such a case, an embodiment in which the received power information of the power meter 112 is used will be described.

図3は、電力システム150の接続態様を示した説明図である。電力メータ112は、計測した受電電力等の電力情報を、基地局152およびネットワーク網154を通じて管理サーバ156に送信する。そして、管理サーバ156では、複数の電力メータ112の電力情報を収集し、その電力情報に基づいて需要者の課金情報を生成したり、電力制御を実行したりする。 FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a connection mode of the power system 150. The power meter 112 transmits the measured power information such as the received power to the management server 156 through the base station 152 and the network network 154. Then, the management server 156 collects the power information of the plurality of power meters 112, generates the billing information of the consumer based on the power information, and executes the power control.

電力供給設備116の通信部116cは、管理サーバ156と無線通信を確立する。そして、情報取得部140は、管理サーバ156から、受電点Aに設置された電力メータ112で測定された受電電力情報を取得する。 The communication unit 116c of the power supply facility 116 establishes wireless communication with the management server 156. Then, the information acquisition unit 140 acquires the received power information measured by the power meter 112 installed at the power receiving point A from the management server 156.

また、電力導出部142は、受電電力情報が受電電力自体でなければ、情報取得部140が取得した受電電力情報に基づいて受電点Aにおける受電電力を導出する。出力制御部144は、情報取得部140が取得した受電電力または電力導出部142が導出した受電電力が所定の値となるように、発電部116aの出力電力を制御する。こうして、第1の実施形態同様、受電電力一定制御を実現できる。 Further, if the received power information is not the received power itself, the power derivation unit 142 derives the received power at the power receiving point A based on the received power information acquired by the information acquisition unit 140. The output control unit 144 controls the output power of the power generation unit 116a so that the received power acquired by the information acquisition unit 140 or the received power derived by the power extraction unit 142 becomes a predetermined value. In this way, as in the first embodiment, constant power reception control can be realized.

<第3の実施形態>
第1の実施形態および第2の実施形態では、電力供給設備116が、電力メータ112の受電電力情報を利用して受電電力を参照する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、電力メータ112が未だスマートメータとなっていない等、電力供給設備116が、電力メータ112や管理サーバ156と通信を確立できない場合がある。第3の実施形態では、電力システム160を挙げ、このような場合であっても、受電電力を参照する態様を説明する。
<Third embodiment>
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, an example in which the power supply facility 116 refers to the received power by using the received power information of the power meter 112 has been described. However, there are cases where the power supply facility 116 cannot establish communication with the power meter 112 or the management server 156, such as when the power meter 112 has not yet become a smart meter. In the third embodiment, the power system 160 is mentioned, and even in such a case, an aspect of referring to the received power will be described.

図4は、電力システム160の基本的な接続態様を示した説明図である。HEMS(Home Energy Management System)162は、需要者の構内における電力の消費と、発電設備や蓄電設備をリアルタイムで統合的に管理し、快適さを保ちつつエネルギー消費の効率化を図る設備(エネルギー管理システム)である。したがって、HEMS162は、分電盤114内に設けられた電力計測器164から、電圧線の電流値、電圧線と中性線との線間電圧値、ならびに、電圧の位相に基づく力率値を検出し、受電電力を導出することもできる。 FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a basic connection mode of the power system 160. The HEMS (Home Energy Management System) 162 is a facility (energy management) that comprehensively manages power consumption on the premises of consumers and power generation equipment and power storage equipment in real time to improve the efficiency of energy consumption while maintaining comfort. System). Therefore, the HEMS 162 obtains the current value of the voltage line, the line voltage value between the voltage line and the neutral line, and the power factor value based on the phase of the voltage from the power measuring instrument 164 provided in the distribution board 114. It can also be detected and the received power can be derived.

また、HEMS162は、外部と無線または有線の通信を確立する通信部(図示せず)を有する。HEMS162の通信部は、受電電力等の電力情報を外部に送信することができる。 Further, the HEMS 162 has a communication unit (not shown) that establishes wireless or wired communication with the outside. The communication unit of HEMS 162 can transmit power information such as received power to the outside.

電力供給設備116の通信部116cは、HEMS162と無線通信を確立する。そして、情報取得部140は、HEMS162から、受電点Aにおける受電電力情報を取得する。 The communication unit 116c of the power supply facility 116 establishes wireless communication with the HEMS 162. Then, the information acquisition unit 140 acquires the received power information at the power receiving point A from the HEMS 162.

また、電力導出部142は、受電電力情報が受電電力自体でなければ、情報取得部140が取得した電圧線の電流値、電圧線と中性線との線間電圧値、ならびに、電圧の位相に基づく力率値とを乗じて、受電点Aにおける受電電力を導出する。出力制御部144は、情報取得部140が取得した受電電力または電力導出部142が導出した受電電力が所定の値となるように、発電部116aの出力電力を制御する。こうして、第1の実施形態および第2の実施形態同様、受電電力一定制御を実現できる。 Further, if the received power information is not the received power itself, the power deriving unit 142 has the current value of the voltage line acquired by the information acquisition unit 140, the line voltage value between the voltage line and the neutral line, and the phase of the voltage. The received power at the receiving point A is derived by multiplying the power factor value based on. The output control unit 144 controls the output power of the power generation unit 116a so that the received power acquired by the information acquisition unit 140 or the received power derived by the power extraction unit 142 becomes a predetermined value. In this way, as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, constant power reception control can be realized.

なお、ここでは、通信を確立する対象としてHEMS162を挙げて説明したが、その対象は、エネルギー管理システム(Energy Management System)であれば足り、管理態様に応じて、BEMS(Building Energy Management System)、FEMS(Factory Energy Management System)、CEMS(Cluster/Community Energy Management System)等、様々な設備に適用することができる。 Here, HEMS 162 has been described as a target for establishing communication, but the target may be an energy management system (Energy Management System), and depending on the management mode, BEMS (Building Energy Management System), It can be applied to various facilities such as FEMS (Factory Energy Management System) and CEMS (Cluster / Community Energy Management System).

<第4の実施形態>
第1の実施形態〜第3の実施形態では、電力供給設備116と、電力メータ112やHEMS162とが無線通信を確立する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、その位置関係や電波環境によっては無線通信を確立することができない場合がある。第4の実施形態では、電力供給設備116が、電力線を通信回線とするPLC(Power Line Communication:電力線搬送通信)を確立して、受電電力を参照する。この場合、電力システム100、150、160のいずれにおいても、通信部116cは、無線通信の代わりに、構内配線120を通じた有線通信を行う。
<Fourth Embodiment>
In the first to third embodiments, an example in which the power supply facility 116 and the power meter 112 or the HEMS 162 establish wireless communication has been described. However, wireless communication may not be established depending on the positional relationship and the radio wave environment. In the fourth embodiment, the power supply facility 116 establishes a PLC (Power Line Communication) using the power line as a communication line and refers to the received power. In this case, in any of the power systems 100, 150, and 160, the communication unit 116c performs wired communication through the premises wiring 120 instead of wireless communication.

電力供給設備116は、屋外コンセント122を通じて電力を供給するとともに、同屋外コンセント122を通じて受電電力情報を取得することが可能となる。こうして、電力供給設備116は、家屋の壁に貫通孔を施すことなく、構内配線120のみを通じて受電電力を容易に導出することが可能となる。 The power supply facility 116 can supply power through the outdoor outlet 122 and acquire the received power information through the outdoor outlet 122. In this way, the power supply facility 116 can easily derive the received power only through the premises wiring 120 without providing a through hole in the wall of the house.

以上、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明はかかる実施形態に限定されないことは言うまでもない。当業者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された範疇内において、各種の変更例または修正例に想到し得ることは明らかであり、それらについても当然に本発明の技術的範囲に属するものと了解される。 Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the claims, which naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Understood.

例えば、上述した実施形態においては、電力供給設備116を、単相3線式100/200Vのうち単相3線式100Vに接続する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、単相3線式100Vに限らず、単相3線式200Vに接続したとしても、電力供給設備116が外部と通信を確立し、確立した通信を通じて受電電力を参照できれば、コストの増大を回避しつつ、電力を適切に出力する効果を生じ得る。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example of connecting the power supply facility 116 to the single-phase three-wire system 100V among the single-phase three-wire system 100 / 200V has been described. However, it is not limited to the single-phase three-wire system 100V, and even if it is connected to the single-phase three-wire system 200V, if the power supply facility 116 establishes communication with the outside and can refer to the received power through the established communication, the cost will increase. It can have the effect of properly outputting power while avoiding it.
