Description

The present invention relates to a power supply control device, a control method for the power supply control device, and a program.

In recent years, a power generation and distribution system that generates and distributes electric power by installing a power generation facility that uses sunlight is known (Patent Document 1). In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the owner of each building provides a solar power generator with a place to install power generation equipment (such as a roof of a building). If the amount of electricity generated by the generator exceeds the amount of electricity used in the building by the owner of the building, the surplus electricity is sold to the utility and the PV company receives compensation from the utility for the sale. The owner of the building can receive compensation from the photovoltaic power generation company for the installation location of the power generation equipment when the amount of power generation is less than the amount of power used in the building. With such a technology, the photovoltaic power generation company does not need to own the land or the building where the power generation device is installed, so that it is possible to realize the provision of electric power by the photovoltaic power generation at a lower cost burden.

JP-A-2002-281668

By the way, when a building owner installs a power generation device in his / her own building, the cost burden and the influence of the installation work on the life may be large. In addition, it may be difficult for residents of an apartment house to install a power generation device on the roof or roof of a building because the consent of other residents cannot be obtained. On the other hand, the owner of a building or the resident of an apartment house can install the power generation device more easily than when installing it at home if the place to install the power generation device is provided, even if it is not their own place of residence. There are cases.

Businesses that own relatively large lands and buildings where multiple power generators can be installed provide a place for users who want to install their own power generators, and a certain amount of power generated by the installed power generators. If electricity can be used, it will be possible to build services that provide electricity to other consumers by utilizing the land and buildings that they own.

In response to such problems, the above-mentioned patent documents have not considered a technology capable of effectively utilizing the assets of the business operator and reducing the operational burden on the user's power generation equipment.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to realize a technique capable of effectively utilizing the assets of a business operator and reducing the operational burden of a user's power generation equipment.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same or similar configuration will be given the same reference number, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

<Configuration of power generation management system>
A power generation management system that controls the supply of power generated by a plurality of power generation devices will be described with reference to FIG. The generated power management system 10 has a power supply control device 100 managed by the business operator 101, and a plurality of power generation devices 111 each owned by the user and installed on the land 110 provided by the business operator 101. In the following example, the case where the power generation device 111 is installed is described as an example, but it may be a building or an area on the water as long as it is owned or managed by the business operator.

Each of the power generation devices 111 is the property of an individual user, and the user purchases the power generation device 111 according to each fund and investment plan, and installs the power generation device 111 on the land 110 of the business operator 101. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the power generation device installed on the land 110 may have different power generation efficiencies and power generation capacities for each power generation device.

The electric power generated by each of the power generation devices 111 is supplied to the power supply control device 100. In addition to transmitting the generated power to the power supply control device 100, the power generation device 111 measures the amount of generated power and transmits the measurement result to the power supply control device 100 via, for example, a communication line. The power supply control device 100 reserves a part of the power for the operator 101 and supplies other power to the consumption destination according to the setting for the power supply (set by the user of the power generation device). do.

The user 102 is the owner of any of the power generation devices 111, and in the example shown in FIG. 1, is also the owner of the building 103. The user 102 can use the communication device 104 to make settings for power supply with respect to the power generated by the power generation device 111 owned by the user 102.

When the communication device 104 receives the setting from the user 102, the communication device 104 transmits the setting information for power supply to the power supply control device 100 via the network 105. In the present embodiment, the communication device 104 is, for example, a smartphone, but is not limited to this, and may include a personal computer, an electronic device of a tablet terminal, and the like.

The settings for power supply include, for example, the power after deducting the power to be periodically supplied to the business operator 101 to be supplied to the building 103 (home), sold to the electric power company 121, or micro. It can be set to provide to the grid 122.

In such a generated power management system, since the land 110 provided by the business operator 101 is used as the installation location of the power generation device, the user 102 does not need to purchase the land for installing his / her own power generation device. Operating costs, including initial costs, can be curtailed. Further, by having the business operator 101 manage the power generation device 111 installed on the land provided by the business operator 101, it is possible to reduce the burden on the user. On the other hand, the user can periodically (for example, monthly) provide a predetermined amount of the generated electric power to the business operator, so that the business operator can earn a profit from the obtained electric power. In this way, the user can continue the operation of the power generation device while returning it to the business operator 101 in the form of providing electric power on a regular basis, and the burden of purchasing and managing the power generation site is reduced. Therefore, even a user who does not have sufficient specialized knowledge can easily start owning and operating his / her own power generation device.

In this system, if there is land 110 of the business operator 101, the user 102's own power generation device can be installed and used even if it is far away. In this case, for example, the power supply control device 100 transmits the electric power generated by the power generation device 111 to the electric power company close to the land 110, and the building of the user 102 transmits the transmitted electric power to the electric power company close to the building of the user 102. It should be supplied from.

In this way, the user can provide electric power by his / her own power generation device without being greatly affected by the mode of his / her own building or residence, and can also utilize the power generation device as an asset. On the other hand, a business operator can obtain compensation from another business operator by providing a part of the generated power to another business operator while effectively utilizing the land owned by the business operator. That is, the generated power management system of the present embodiment makes it possible to effectively utilize the land of the business operator and reduce the operational burden on the user's power generation equipment. In addition, since the user can provide the electric power to the business operator on a regular basis and then supply the remaining electric power to the desired consumption destination, the user can provide the business operator with consideration and distribute the electric power to the desired consumption destination. It becomes possible to achieve both.

The control unit 200 may further include a GPU, an ASIC, or a dedicated circuit.

The power receiving unit 204 receives the electric power transmitted from the power generation device 111. The received electric power is temporarily stored in the electric power storage unit 206, or is supplied to the electric power consumption destination via the electric power supply unit 207.

The communication unit 205 includes a communication circuit that communicates with the communication device 104 via the network 105. The power supply control device 100 transmits screen information for transmitting the setting information for power supply controlled by the control unit 200 to the power supply control device 100 and inputting the setting information for the power supply. Receive. Further, the communication circuit can communicate with a plurality of power generation devices 111, and receives information on the amount of power generation from each power generation device 111.

The power storage unit 206 can temporarily store the power received by the power receiving unit 204 from the power generation device 111, and can provide the stored power (according to the control of the control unit 200). In the present embodiment, the case where the power supply control device 100 has the power storage unit 206 will be described as an example, but the power supply control device 100 may not have the power storage function.

The power supply unit 207 supplies power to an external consumption destination (power consumer) according to the control by the control unit 200.

The storage unit 208 includes a non-volatile recording medium such as a semiconductor memory, and records setting information for power supply set by the user 102 for each power generation device.

<Software configuration of power supply control device>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a software configuration of the power supply control device 100 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, each part is realized by the CPU 201 reading and executing the program stored in the ROM 202 or the like. Note that the software configuration shows only configuration examples necessary for the implementation of this embodiment, and each software configuration such as firmware, OS, middleware, and web service module is omitted.

When the setting acquisition unit 301 receives the setting information for power supply from the communication device 104, the setting acquisition unit 301 outputs the setting information to the setting management unit 302 in order to store the setting information in the setting DB311 which is a database for storing the setting information. The setting management unit 302 writes the settings for power supply set by the user for each power generation device 111 to the setting DB311 and reads them from the setting DB311. The electric energy measurement unit 303 monitors the power generation amount of the power generation device 111 for each predetermined period or measures the power generation amount of the plurality of power generation devices based on the information regarding the power generation amount received from the power generation device 111.

The power supply control unit 304 periodically supplies the electric power generated by the power generation device 111 to the business operator 101, and the power supply control unit 304 is based on the power supply setting set for each power generation device 111. , Control the supply of electricity to electricity consumers. That is, the power supply control unit 304 controls to provide a predetermined amount of power among the power generated by each power generation device to the first power consumer as the power of the business operator 101. The first electric power consumer includes an electric power company 121 and a microgrid 122, which are to receive electric power from the operator 101.

Further, the electric power supply control unit 304 sets the electric power other than the above-mentioned predetermined amount of electric power (electric power of the business operator 101) among the electric power generated by each of the power generation devices 111 according to the setting associated with the individual power generation device. And supplies it to the second power consumer. The second power consumer is, for example, a home (building 103) to which the user 102 supplies power, a power company 121 for selling power, or another user who owns a power generator 111 on the same land 110. It is a building. For example, when the power generation device owned by the user 102 has a considerably larger power generation capacity than the power generation device owned by another user, and surplus power is generated even if the power for the business operator 101 and the power to the home are subtracted. Power may be supplied to the user's home. In this case, the user who has supplied the electric power can receive a consideration according to the supplied electric power from the user who has received the electric power.

The display information output unit 305 generates screen information for the user 102 to input setting information for power supply and transmits it to the communication device 104.

The user DB 310 is a database that stores information on a user who installs the power generation device 111 on the land 110 of the business operator. The setting DB311 is a database that stores setting information for power supply, which is set for each power generation device 111. The electric power consumer DB 312 is a database that stores information on electric power consumers who receive electric power from the business operator 101.

<Communication device configuration>
Next, a functional configuration example of the communication device 104 used by the user 102 will be described. FIG. 4 shows a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the communication device 104. The control unit 410 includes one or more CPUs 411, a ROM 412, and a RAM 413. The control unit 410 controls the operation of each part inside the control unit 410 or controls the operation of each part of the communication device by expanding and executing the program stored in the ROM 412 in the RAM 413. The ROM 412 includes a non-volatile storage medium such as EEPROM and stores information such as a program executed by the control unit 410. The RAM 413 includes a volatile storage medium such as a DRAM, and temporarily stores parameters, processing results, and the like for the control unit 410 to execute a program. The control unit 410 may further have a GPU, an ASIC, or a dedicated circuit.

Further, the communication device 104 according to the present embodiment includes various configurations that provide an interface for information with the outside, electric power required for the operation of the communication device 104, and the like. Each configuration shown below operates based on the control by the control unit 410.

The operation unit 414 receives various operations on the communication device, and includes, for example, a switch and a touch panel. The operation unit 414 receives, for example, a user operation on the power supply setting screen described later. Further, the operation unit 414 may include a software keyboard for inputting characters.

The communication unit 415 is configured to communicate with an external device (for example, the power supply control device 100) via the network 105, and the communication method, communication protocol, and the like are not particularly limited. The communication unit 415 transmits, for example, setting information for power supply to the power supply control device 100, receives information on the power supply setting screen, and the like.

The power supply unit 416 is configured to supply electric power to each unit of the communication device 104, and corresponds to, for example, a battery. The display unit 417 is configured to display various user interfaces related to the operation menu in addition to the power supply setting screen, and includes a display and the like. The display unit 417 and the operation unit 414 may be collectively configured as, for example, a touch panel display.

The sensor unit 421 includes various sensors such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) and a camera for detecting its own position information. The image pickup unit 422 is, for example, a camera, and can shoot an arbitrary subject.

<A series of operations of the power supply control process in the power supply control device 100>
Next, a series of operations of the power supply control process in the power supply control device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is realized by the CPU 201 of the control unit 200 executing a program stored in the ROM 202. Each of the following processes is executed by each unit such as the setting acquisition unit 301 in the control unit 200, but for the sake of simplicity, it will be described as simply being executed by the control unit 200.

In S601, the control unit 200 receives the setting information for power supply transmitted from the communication device 104. The setting information for power supply is information for setting the supply destination of the power generated by the power generation device, and is associated with the power generation device 111. Here, an example of the power supply setting screen 501 displayed on the communication device 104 will be described with reference to FIG. The user 102 can set the power supply to the power generation device 111, which is the owner of the user 102, by using the power supply setting screen 501.

On the power supply setting screen 501, the identification information (“No. AA”) of the power generation device owned by the user 102 and the power generation capacity according to the performance of the power generation device are displayed. By grasping the power generation capacity according to the performance of the power generation device, the user can grasp how much electric power can be provided to the electric power consumer.

Instead of using the land provided by the business operator 101, the user 102 periodically supplies the generated electric power to the business operator 101. The power supply setting screen 501 shows the power 503 that the user 102 periodically supplies to the business operator. By displaying the power generation capacity of the power generation device and the power to be periodically supplied on the screen, the user 102 can easily grasp how much power can be provided to his / her desired destination.

On the power supply setting screen 501, the user can set where to provide the electric power after deducting the electric power to be periodically provided to the business operator 101 from the electric power generated by the power generation device 111. For example, the user 102 can set one of the supply destinations to "home" and set the electric energy 504 to be allocated to the home. The "home" can be set to provide power with priority over other power supply destinations ("home of another user P at the power generation site"). For example, when the power generation capacity of the power generation device 111 is 100 kW and the amount of electric power periodically supplied to the business operator 101 is 50 kW, the amount of electric power that the user can set the provider by himself / herself is 50 kW. At this time, when 30 kW is allocated to the "home" having the priority order 1, the electric energy 505 allocated to the other supply destinations is 20 kW. In the example shown in FIG. 5, when supplying to a supply destination other than the home, the estimated income 506 according to the amount of electric power to be provided is displayed. When the power generation capacity of the power generation device is 80 kW, in the setting where "home" is prioritized, power is not supplied to the supply destinations other than the home.

Note that FIG. 5 shows an example in which the user is set to supply power to another user who receives the land provided by the same business operator as a power supply destination other than the home. This is because individual generators are purchased and installed by the user, so one user's generator may have higher performance and another user's generator may have lower performance. be. Therefore, depending on the performance of the power generation device owned by the user and predetermined conditions such as the season, it may not be possible to sufficiently supply the electric power at home. At this time, if it is more cost effective for the user A to receive the power supply from the user B who uses the same land than to receive the power supply from another power company, the power supply is supplied from the user B. Can receive. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the user B sets the power supply to the home and the power supply to the user A. In such a case, the control unit 200 displays a matching screen (not shown) on the communication device 104, and when the user is expected to have insufficient power in his / her own power generation device, the control unit 200 selects a user who has a margin in the generated power. It may be searchable. In this way, it becomes possible to match a user who is expected to run out of power with a user who can provide power. As in the example shown in FIG. 5, the user who can provide the electric power can set the user of the electric power supply destination on the electric power supply setting screen.

Next, when the control unit 200 receives the setting information for power supply, the data related to the setting for power supply to be set in the setting DB311 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. The data of the setting DB311 is managed for each power generation device as described above. The power generation device ID 701 represents an identifier of the power generation device. The user ID 702 represents the ID of the user who owns the target power generation device 111. The power generation capacity 703 represents the power generation capacity of the target power generation device 111.

The periodic power supply amount 704 represents the amount of electric power that the target power generation device 111 periodically supplies electric power to the operator (corresponding to the electric power 503 shown in FIG. 5). The cumulative supply amount 705 of the regular supply stores the cumulative value of the regular power supply so far when the maximum amount of the power supply by the regular supply is predetermined (for example, the amount of power corresponding to 20 years). .. The unprovided electric power 706 represents the amount of electric power provided to the business operator 101 that is less than the regular supply electric power.

The self-set supply destination 707 corresponds to a supply destination such as a home set by the user 102 in the power supply setting. The power supply amount 708 represents the power supply amount to the self-set supply destination. In the example shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to the electric energy 504 and the like. In addition, a supply destination having a lower priority and a power supply amount thereof can be set.

In S602, the control unit 200 acquires information on the amount of electric power generated by the power generation device 111. Specifically, the control unit 200 acquires information on the amount of electric power transmitted from the power generation device 111 via the communication unit 205. The information on the amount of electric power to be acquired may be, for example, information obtained by accumulating the amount of electric power on the power generation device side every predetermined period (for example, one month).

In S603, the control unit 200 determines whether the amount of electric power generated by the power generation device 111 exceeds the amount of electric power for regular supply. If the control unit 200 determines that the cumulative value for each predetermined period exceeds the electric energy for periodic supply, the process proceeds to S605, and if not, the process proceeds to S604.

The control unit 200 may increase or decrease the amount of electric power for regular supply according to the environment and weather conditions by another process independent of this process. For example, the control unit 200 acquires information on the amount of power generation in the past (such as the previous year or the last five years) and information on the amount of power consumption of the power supply destination of the business operator 101, and based on the information, sets a predetermined period. Estimate the amount of power generated. Then, the amount of electric power for regular supply for each unit is set based on the estimated amount of generated electric power. As a result, the amount of electric power for regular supply can be set to an appropriate amount of electric power.

In S604, when the amount of electric power generated by the power generation device 111 does not exceed the amount of electric charge for regular supply (No in S603), the control unit 200 accumulates the insufficient amount of electric power as unprovided electric power (to the business operator). .. This is because when the user's power generation device 111 does not exceed the power amount for regular supply due to the weather, sunshine hours, etc., the insufficient power amount is calculated and the next supply in the regular supply is performed. This is to make up for the shortage of electric power supplied to the business operator 101. In this way, the operator 101 can more reliably receive the amount of electric power that is regularly supplied in a longer period of time. When the control unit 200 calculates the calculated cumulative value of the unprovided power, the control unit 200 updates the setting DB.

In S605, when the amount of power generated by the power generation device 111 exceeds the amount of power for regular supply (Yes in S603), does the control unit 200 have unprovided power to the operator 101 in the past regular supply? To judge. If there is unprovided power, the control unit 200 proceeds to S606, and if not, proceeds to S608.

In S606, the control unit 200 compensates for the electric energy of the unprovided electric power. The control unit 200 compensates for the amount of unprovided electric power that exceeds the amount of electric power that is regularly supplied, out of the amount of electric power generated by the power generation device 111. In S607, the control unit 200 proceeds to S608 when the unprovided power is resolved by the processing of S605, and updates the latest unprovided power to S609 when the unprovided power is not resolved. To proceed.

In S608, the control unit 200 supplies the remaining power to the supply destination based on the setting information. That is, the power generated by the power generation device 111, which is obtained by subtracting the power exceeding the power amount of the regular supply or the power of the unprovided power supplemented by S606, is a supply destination set by the user (for example). In FIG. 7, it is supplied to 707).

In S609, the control unit 200 supplies the electric power for regular supply (electric power to be supplied to the business operator 101) out of the electric power generated by the power generation device 111 to the electric power supply destination of the business operator 101. The power supply destination determined by the business operator 101 is predetermined by the business operator 101, and the control unit 200 controls the power supply based on, for example, setting information for the business operator (not shown).

In S610, the control unit 200 calculates the cumulative value of the power for regular supply supplied for the business operator 101 by the power generation device 111, and updates, for example, the cumulative supply amount 705 of the regular supply of the setting DB311.

In S611, the control unit 200 determines whether the cumulative value of the power for periodic supply calculated in S610 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value indicating a predetermined maximum value of periodic supply. If the control unit 200 determines that the cumulative value of the power for periodic supply is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the process proceeds to S612, and if not, the process returns to S602.

In S612, the control unit 200 ends the periodic supply to the business operator 101 (that is, stops the deduction of the electric power for the periodic supply from the electric power generated by the power generation device 111). In this way, the business operator 101 can receive the electric power supply commensurate with the provision of the land 110, while the user sufficiently returns the consideration for the land and uses the electric power generated by the power generation device 111 thereafter. It can be used according to the settings. After that, the control unit 200 ends a series of operations related to the power supply control process.
