<Overview>
Hereinafter, an off-grid accommodation module according to the present disclosure, in which a person can stay without receiving power supply from the power system and water supply from the water supply system, will be described. Also, a simulation system that simulates the period during which people can stay in the off-grid accommodation module will be described.

FIG. 1 is an external view of an off-grid accommodation module 30 according to the present disclosure. This off-grid type accommodation module 30 is a building shaped like a container house, which is formed in the shape of, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped. As shown in FIG. 1, the off-grid type accommodation module 30 has an outer wall 31, a roof 32, and a floor 33 to create a space where people can stay for a certain period of time, and can be lifted by a crane or the like. , and is configured to be movable by being transported by ship, truck, or the like. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a part of the side surface may be opened so that people can enter and exit, or a part of the side surface may be provided with a window or a door. The off-grid type accommodation module 30 is not limited to a container house that can be transported by a crane or the like, and may be self-propelled and movable like a trailer house or a camper. Furthermore, the off-grid type accommodation module 30 is based on the conditions set for installation in a predetermined area, the specifications of the off-grid type accommodation module 30, specifically the arrangement and layout of various devices described later, and the size It may be configured to be changeable. For example, as the configuration of the off-grid type accommodation module 30, it is divided into a living base unit that is a space for arranging a power storage device and a water purification device described later, and a living option unit that is a living (staying) space for guests. The size of the optional unit may be changed (for example, by increasing or decreasing the number of units) so that the floor plan can be changed.

In addition, a solar panel (power generation device) 34 is arranged in this off-grid accommodation module 30, the power generated by the solar panel 34 is supplied, and the lighting arranged in the off-grid accommodation module 30 Home appliances (power consumption devices) such as air conditioners and air conditioners are configured to consume power. The power generated by the solar panel 34 is stored in a power storage device (not shown) such as a storage battery arranged in the off-grid accommodation module 30, and the solar panel 34 cannot generate power at night or in rainy weather. In this case, the power storage device can supply power. Furthermore, the off-grid accommodation module 30 is provided with a water storage device (not shown) for storing water, and a water purification device (not shown) for purifying the water stored in this water storage device so that it can be used. are placed. As this water purification device, for example, rainwater is filtered and sterilized (by ultraviolet rays, etc.) to purify it so that it can be used as domestic water such as a shower, and toilet wastewater is present in the moist soil layer after primary treatment A device for reusing after being decomposed and sterilized by microorganisms is arranged. The water purifier makes it possible to supply purified water without receiving water supply from the outside. is configured to allow the use of The power generation device provided in the off-grid accommodation module 30 is not limited to a solar panel, and may be a wind power generation device or a biomass power generation device as long as it generates power from so-called renewable energy. In addition, a water storage device stores water that exists in nature. Water from a water resource that is affected by long-term weather conditions, such as water from a water source, or water from a water resource that is not affected by weather conditions, such as fresh water from seawater, is stored.

By installing this off-grid type accommodation module 30 in areas where human development has not progressed, such as remote islands and mountainous areas, infrastructure such as electricity and water is unnecessary, and it is possible to install facilities with low environmental impact. The aim is to utilize tourism resources while protecting the environment.

In addition, the simulation system according to the present disclosure does not receive power supply from the power system and water supply from the water supply system when the off-grid accommodation module 30 as shown in FIG. 1 is actually installed. It is a system for simulating the state and outputting the period during which people can stay. Specifically, this simulation system uses the configuration of the off-grid accommodation module 30 itself and the information on the conditions related to the environment of the geographical conditions where the off-grid accommodation module 30 is actually installed. A simulation process is performed to predict either one or both of them, and the period during which a person can stay is calculated and output. The simulation system according to the present disclosure will be described as a system provided by so-called SaaS (Software as a Service), for example, as a Web service by a cloud server or the like. A configuration may be adopted in which simulation processing is performed in a stand-alone manner without performing simulation processing.

In order for this off-grid type accommodation module 30 to maintain a state in which people can stay independently, that is, a state in which they can accept guests, a certain A power supply is required. In addition, a certain amount of water is necessary for people to live, and a certain amount of electric power must be supplied to operate a water purifier for securing such water. However, a device that generates power from renewable energy, such as a solar panel, is affected by natural conditions such as the weather, so there is a risk that the power stored in the storage battery will run short. In addition, since water that exists in nature is also affected by natural conditions such as weather, there is a risk that the amount of stored water will be insufficient. Therefore, in this simulation system, as the configuration of the off-grid accommodation module 30 itself, information on the floor plan, structures (walls, doors, windows, eaves, etc.), materials, home appliances arranged in the off-grid accommodation module 30, We have acquired the specification information of the water-using equipment. In addition, as information on the environment of the geographical conditions where the off-grid accommodation module 30 is actually installed, the weather conditions (temperature, humidity, precipitation, etc.) of the installation location, and whether there are lakes, rivers, or wells in the vicinity We have obtained information on whether or not Then, in this simulation system, simulation processing is performed based on these pieces of information. In addition, the off-grid accommodation module 30 includes the amount of power generated by the power generation device, the storage capacity of the power storage device, the power consumption by the power consumption device, the amount of water stored by the water storage device, the amount of processing by the water purification device, and the water usage by the water use device. A monitoring device (various sensors) that monitors the amount in time series and an output device (terminal device 10 described later) that outputs the monitoring results may be provided.

With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately provide the off-grid type accommodation module 30, and it is possible to contribute to the determination of appropriate specifications according to the geographical conditions of installation.
