It is a figure which shows the flow of the distribution of the equity of the power generation facility in the electric power procurement system of this embodiment.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the power procurement system of the present invention will be described.

In the electric power procurement system of the present embodiment, a power generation facility (for example, a solar panel is assumed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a thermal power generation facility, a storage battery, etc.) may be used as a securities token (ST). , Security Token) makes it possible to reduce the initial investment in power generation equipment by making it possible to own it separately. In addition, the power procurement system of the present embodiment realizes a marketplace that enables high-frequency trading in which tokens are held only when used. As a result, for example, the value of the power generation equipment can be improved by eliminating the paid state of the power generation equipment, pricing the power generation equipment in the secondary market, and ensuring the liquidity. By separately owning the power generation equipment, the electric power consumer can transmit power from the power generation equipment separately owned by the power demand equipment by using the self-consignment system.

In-house power generation equipment is usually owned by a certain business operator or individual. In this embodiment, a model in which one power generation facility is jointly owned by a plurality of consumers is adopted.

Conventional large-scale power generation equipment (not only solar power but also thermal power, wind power, etc.) requires a high initial investment, and it is a heavy burden for one company to own it. In addition, depending on the power generation facility, it is only used for peak cuts during the daytime, and there are many hours when it is not in operation, so there is a need to increase the operation rate. Or, in the case of power generation equipment where it is difficult to adjust the output in a short time, the amount of power generated becomes excessive when the demand equipment is not in operation, and even if the price is not economical, there is no choice but to sell it to other companies. Have the challenge. In order to improve economic efficiency, for example, there is no mechanism to increase liquidity by selling the divisional ownership of equipment and making the self-consignment system available to purchasers. In addition, even if joint ownership is actually carried out, there is no power generation facility that can be applied only to solar power generation facilities that can physically separate the ownership categories and install meters in each category to measure the amount of power generated. Even so, it is expected that the economic efficiency will deteriorate due to the installation of multiple meters. In addition, if a large-scale photovoltaic power generation facility is physically divided and owned, the amount of solar radiation and the deterioration of the panel will differ depending on the location, so even if the panel has the same area, it depends on the measurement point. The amount of power generated was different, causing unfairness. In addition, it was difficult to extend such a method of physically separating to other power generation facilities (thermal power, hydraulic power, wind power, geothermal power, biomass, nuclear power, other power generation methods and storage batteries). In the first place, in the case of solar panels, the form of possession can be physically separated from the panel unit, but it is difficult for other power generation facilities to physically separate them.

Therefore, in the power procurement system of the present embodiment, the power generation equipment is virtually divided instead of physically, the divided divisions are represented by blockchain tokens, and the ownership of the divided units is assigned to the power generation equipment. Made it possible for users to own it. This makes it possible to own a part of expensive power generation equipment for a small amount, and because it is virtually divided, it is possible to own power generation equipment other than solar power generation, which has physical restrictions on division. There is.

Further, in the power procurement system of the present embodiment, the amount of power generated by the power generation facility is measured, and the amount of power (kWh) is supplied in the form of self-consignment according to the ratio held at regular intervals (every 30 minutes, etc.). I try to do it.

Further, in the electric power procurement system of the present embodiment, the ease of buying and selling is improved by electronically recording the ratio of owning the power generation equipment, and the ownership right and the off-take right of the electric energy (kWh) associated therewith are obtained. By preparing a platform that can be bought and sold, it is possible to increase the liquidity of assets, and at the same time, it is possible to improve the operating rate of equipment by mounting existing equipment on the platform.

In this way, according to the power procurement system of the present embodiment, it is possible to own a power generation facility with a small initial investment by dividing the token.

Further, according to the power procurement system of the present embodiment, in order to realize a high-frequency token trading platform, it is possible to perform an operation such as selling only during a time period when the power generation facility is not used. As a result, it is expected that investment in assets will become more active by adding the option of selling or temporarily selling power generation equipment, which has been rigid. Therefore, it is possible to secure the liquidity of assets and improve the asset value.

Further, according to the power procurement system of the present embodiment, the actual power generation equipment is not physically separated (it is difficult to physically separate other than the solar panel in the first place), but virtually divided by tokens. It is possible to realize a mechanism that combines the ownership rights and the off-take rights of electric power (kWh). Therefore, there is no limit to the power generation equipment that can be jointly owned, and it can be applied to thermal power, hydropower, wind power, geothermal power, biomass, nuclear power, all other power generation methods, and storage batteries.

Further, according to the power procurement system of the present embodiment, for example, it is possible to temporarily sell a power generation facility that is used only in a specific season and time in a factory or the like during the time when it is not used. .. Therefore, even if there is a time zone when the power load is not operating, it is possible to enjoy profits while always operating the power generation facility. This is expected to improve the operating rate of the equipment, and as an additional effect, the operation cost for power generation in Japan will be reduced and the economic efficiency of having the power generation equipment will be improved (some consumers need short-term power procurement such as peak cut). Since it can be used regardless of the size of demand, it may sell at a higher price than selling electricity to a normal electric power company).

In addition, by virtually dividing and owning the power generation equipment, unfairness between owners due to the deterioration of each panel and the difference in the amount of generated power due to the difference in the amount of solar radiation will not occur. This makes it possible to eliminate unfairness due to fluctuations in the amount of power generated between solar panels, as in the case of conventional community solar.

<Outline of power procurement>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an outline of electric power procurement in the first embodiment. The consumer 10 (company A) has the demand equipment 11, and when procuring the electric power to be used in the demand equipment 11, the consumer 10 (company A) procures the division 131 in which the power generation equipment 13 is virtually divided from the marketplace 12. .. The electric power generated by the power generation facility 13 is divided according to the share of the power generation facility 13, and is supplied from the power generation facility 13 to the demand facility 11 by self-consignment. When the power is actually transmitted by the transmission company, it is considered that a part of the amount of power generated from the power generation facility 13 is virtually transmitted to the demand facility 11. Self-consignment is a person who installs the private power generation facility through a power transmission and distribution network maintained and operated by a general power transmission and distribution business operator for the electricity generated by the private power generation facility. Refers to the service provided by the general power transmission and distribution business operator when transmitting power to a factory, etc. in another location. Since the liquidity of the power generation facility 13 (division) is secured by the existence of the marketplace 12, the consumer 10 acquires the required ratio of equity when necessary and self-consigns from the private power generation facility 13. It will be possible to do.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a conventional joint ownership form of a solar panel. In the case of jointly owning a conventional solar panel, the division owner will own the power generation facility 13 (solar panel) in a physically divided unit, and the smart meter 14 for each physical division 131. Was installed to manage the amount of power generated in Category 131.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a joint ownership mode of the power generation facility 13 according to the first embodiment. In the example of FIG. 3, only one smart meter 14 is installed in the power generation facility 13, and the amount of power generated by the entire power generation facility 13 is measured. Here, it is assumed that 100 tokens have been issued by ST for the power generation facility 13. Assuming that the power generation facility 13 is shared by four companies, company A, company B, company C, and company D, and the equity is 60%, 10%, 20%, and 10%, respectively, company A has 60 tokens. , Company B holds 10 tokens, Company C holds 20 tokens, and Company D holds 10 tokens, and can prove the ownership ratio. According to this ratio, the amount of electric power generated by the power generation facility 13 (measured by the smart meter 14) is also divided and is considered to have been self-consigned to each company. Here, in another time zone, even if Company A sells 30 tokens, Company B purchases an additional 30 tokens, Company C sells 10 tokens, and Company E purchases 10 tokens. The amount of power generated by the power generation facility 13 can be regarded as being virtually divided and self-consigned to each company according to the possession ratio of the token. The amount of electric power can be measured and distributed for each time zone of a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes). The length of the time zone may be different depending on the market.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating distribution of power generation amount. In the example of FIG. 4, the transition of the amount of power generated from the power generation facility 13 is shown by the curve 141. Assuming that the power generation facility 13 generates 30kWh at 12:00 (30 minutes from the time), Company A holds 60 tokens out of 100 tokens, and Company B holds 10 tokens out of 100 tokens. The amount of electric power procured by the company is 30kWh × 60/100 = 18kWh, and the amount of electric power procured by the company B is 30kWh × 10/100 = 3kWh. Similarly, if the power generation facility 13 generates 20kWh at 18:00, and Company A has 30 tokens and Company B has 40 tokens during that time, the amount of power procured by Company A is 20kWh x 30 /. 100 = 6kWh, the amount of electric power procured by Company B is 20kWh × 40/100 = 8kWh.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an outline of transactions in the power procurement system of the first embodiment. In the marketplace 12 (transaction platform), the equipment provider 15 registers the information of the power generation facility 13 and issues a token (asset registration). Then, the condition that the consumer 11 who is the seller of the token wants to sell is registered, and the power generation type (PV, wind power, etc.) of the power generation facility 13 that the consumer 11 who is the purchaser of the token wants to purchase, the electric energy, the price, and so on. Matching 121 of the division 131 of the power generation facility 13 is performed in the marketplace 12 by setting conditions such as a time zone and a region (the superiority or inferiority of the conditions can be set). Matching is performed every 30 minutes after the present (the unit time of the current power measurement, if the unit time changes, it shall be based on the new specified unit time) (reservation for buying and selling), and the actual date is At the time of the slot, the ownership (and off-take right) of the division 131 of the power generation facility 13 is transferred from the seller to the purchaser, and the amount of tokens corresponding to the ownership ratio of the division 131 is given to the purchaser. The transfer to the wallet of consumer 10 will prove the transfer of ownership (and off-take rights). In addition, in Marketplace 12, the amount of power generation (predicted value, actual value) and the off-take amount of power (kWh) according to the token holding ratio are automatically calculated, and the amount of power generated is recorded (power generation forecast, actual value). , Electricity Wide Area Operation Promotion Organization (OCCTO), can create a report for token holders (report creation). Information from the marketplace 12 can be acquired by API. For example, the OCCTO system (OCCTO system 16) can acquire reports such as planned values via API, and by this cooperation, self-consignment regulation can be obtained. It is possible to automate the creation and cooperation of the above required notification data and report data. In addition, the retailer 17 can also buy and sell tokens in the marketplace 12 in the same way as the consumer 10. As a result, the retailer 17 can provide electric power procurement by self-consignment using tokens as a menu for customers, and can also be used as the retailer's own electric power procurement means. By using API, it is possible to cooperate with the system used by the retailer. Further, the power supply and demand service provider 18 can also buy and sell tokens in the marketplace 12 in the same manner as the consumer 10. As a result, the service provider 18 can utilize token trading as part of the customer's power service menu such as peak cut. By using the API, it is possible to cooperate with the system used by the service company 18.

<Operation>
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flow of power transmission processing in the power procurement system of the present embodiment.

The management server 2 receives the asset information of the power generation facility 13 and records it in the asset information storage unit 231 (S301). The asset information may include the type of power generation equipment 13, output, installation location, and the like. The management server 2 issues (STO) a token backed by the power generation facility 13 (S302). After issuing the token, the management server 2 can solicit applicants for the divisional owners of the power generation facility 13. By holding the token, the electric power consumer 10 has a sectional ownership right of the power generation facility 13 and an off-take right of the electric energy (kWh) generated from the power generation facility 13.

The management server 2 can record the owner information of the token holder (initially the equipment provider 15) in the ledger of the blockchain 4 (S303). The management server 2 acquires the amount of power generated by the power generation facility 13 from a measuring device such as a smart meter 14, and generates power in a certain reference time such as a 30-minute value (the measurement time can be set arbitrarily). The amount of electric power (kWh) can be aggregated (S304). The management server 2 can allocate the power generation amount to the division owners according to the amount of tokens held (including the matched tokens to be moved in the future slot) (S305), and supply the power in the form of self-consignment (S306). ).

The management server 2 provides a trading platform for buying and selling tokens held by the user. In addition, the management server 2 provides a trading platform that enables trading from the day before the power generation (the day before the market) to the previous period as long as the power generator allows. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a flow of distribution of equity in power generation equipment in the power procurement system of the present embodiment.

The management server 2 calculates the off-take amount of the generated power amount (kWh) of the consumer 10 according to the holding ratio of the token (including the matched token to be moved in the future slot) (S321). The management server 2 receives a purchase request for which conditions are set from the purchaser (S322). As described above, the purchase request can be set to the power generation type (solar power, wind power, etc.), electric energy, price, time zone, region, superiority or inferiority of conditions, and the like. In addition to this, the conditions can be set similar to the conditions of the stock trading platform (limit price, stop price, conditional trading when a fixed price is reached, etc.).

The management server 2 accepts the sale request (S323) and matches the token specified by the sale request with the purchase request based on the conditions set in the purchase request (S324).

In the matching process, the conditions can be set in detail for the purchaser and the seller in a form that matches the actual state of the electric power transaction. For example, without setting a selling price (or by giving a range to the price or as a matter of course), selling or selling until a certain amount of electric power (kWh) is reached from the power generation facility 13 that meets the specified conditions (solar power, etc.). Can continue to run. Also, specify the area in the purchase request and continue to buy from one or more power generation facilities 13 installed in the specified area until a certain amount of power (kWh) or the total purchase price reaches a certain amount. It can also be. It is also possible to specify only the purchase price and continue to purchase or sell without specifying the electric energy (kWh). In addition, it is possible to specify only a time zone in the purchase request and continue to sell or sell until a certain amount of electric power (kWh) is reached within the designated time zone. It is not necessary to set the condition, or the condition may be prioritized.

If the sale fails (S325 :), the management server 2 does not transfer the token from the seller (and therefore does not transfer the ownership and off-take rights), and the power from the power generation facility 13 is wholesale power. It can be sold to the exchange (S326). It should be noted that the product may be sold to retailers through bilateral transactions instead of the wholesale market.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the above embodiment is for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and is not for limiting the interpretation of the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes an equivalent thereof.

For example, in the present embodiment, the token issued by the blockchain 4 is used to manage the ownership of the power generation facility 13 and the location of the off-take right, but it is not always necessary to use the blockchain technology. For example, ownership and off-take rights may be managed in the database, and the database administrator (operator of the management server 2) may guarantee the authenticity of the contents.

Further, in the present embodiment, the owner information regarding the owner of the power generation facility 13 is managed in the ledger of the blockchain 4, but the management server 2 is provided with an owner information storage unit for storing the owner information. You may.
