Description

本発明は、電力及び熱を供給する電熱供給システム、電熱供給システムを備えた集合住宅、及び電熱供給システムを機能させるプログラムに関する。特に、本発明は燃料電池を有する電熱供給システムに関する。   The present invention relates to an electric heat supply system that supplies electric power and heat, an apartment house equipped with an electric heat supply system, and a program that causes the electric heat supply system to function. In particular, the present invention relates to an electric heat supply system having a fuel cell.

従来、電力系統の補助電源として各住宅における太陽光発電、燃料電池等が考えられている。また、近年の電力需要の増大により、近い将来に電力系統からの電力供給が不足することが予想される。このため、各住宅の電力供給において、太陽光発電、燃料電池等の分散型電源に対する依存度が高まると考えられる。   Conventionally, solar power generation, fuel cells, and the like in each house have been considered as auxiliary power sources for electric power systems. In addition, due to the recent increase in power demand, it is expected that power supply from the power system will be short in the near future. For this reason, in the electric power supply of each house, it is thought that the dependence with respect to distributed power sources, such as photovoltaic power generation and a fuel cell, increases.

また、燃料電池を用いた分散型電源においては、燃料電池の発電に伴う排熱を有効に利用するコージェネレーションシステムがある。コージェネレーションシステムにおいては、例えば、燃料電池の排熱を貯湯漕に蓄積して、電力及び温水を提供する。また、関連する特許文献は認識していないため、特許文献の記載は省略する。   In addition, in a distributed power source using a fuel cell, there is a cogeneration system that effectively uses exhaust heat accompanying power generation of the fuel cell. In the cogeneration system, for example, the exhaust heat of the fuel cell is accumulated in a hot water tank to provide electric power and hot water. Moreover, since the related patent document is not recognized, the description of the patent document is omitted.

しかし、従来の分散型電源においては、各住宅がそれぞれ消費する電力に応じて各住宅の燃料電池を発電させ、電力及び温水を生成している。このため、例えば温水の使用量に対して電力の使用量が多い時期においては、温水を余剰に生成してしまう。貯湯漕に蓄積した熱を保持することは困難であるため、余剰に生成された温水は無駄となってしまい、燃料電池の総合的なエネルギー効率が低下してしまう。また、温水の使用量に対して電力の使用量が少ない時期においては、温水が不足してしまう問題もある。   However, in the conventional distributed power source, the fuel cell of each house is generated according to the electric power consumed by each house, and electric power and hot water are generated. For this reason, excessive warm water will be produced | generated in the period when there is much usage-amount of electric power with respect to the usage-amount of warm water, for example. Since it is difficult to maintain the heat accumulated in the hot water storage tank, the excessively generated hot water is wasted, and the overall energy efficiency of the fuel cell is reduced. In addition, there is a problem that the hot water is insufficient when the amount of electric power used is small relative to the amount of hot water used.

そこで本発明は、上記の課題を解決することのできる電力供給システム等を提供することを目的とする。この目的は、特許請求の範囲における独立項に記載の特徴の組み合わせにより達成される。また従属項は本発明の更なる有利な具体例を規定する。   Then, an object of this invention is to provide the electric power supply system etc. which can solve said subject. This object is achieved by a combination of features described in the independent claims. The dependent claims define further advantageous specific examples of the present invention.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の第1の形態においては、負荷に電力を供給し、複数の貯湯漕に熱を供給する電熱供給システムであって、複数の貯湯漕に対応して設けられ、負荷に供給する電力を発電し、発電によって発生した熱を対応する貯湯漕に供給する複数の燃料電池と、それぞれの貯湯漕における、熱消費量の履歴を格納する履歴格納部と、負荷の電力需要量、及び履歴格納部が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕に供給するべき熱量を算出し、当該熱量に基づいて対応する燃料電池の発電量を制御する制御部とを備える電熱供給システムを提供する。   In order to solve the above-described problem, in the first embodiment of the present invention, an electric heat supply system that supplies electric power to a load and supplies heat to a plurality of hot water storage tanks is provided corresponding to the plurality of hot water storage tanks. A plurality of fuel cells that generate electric power to be supplied to a load and supply heat generated by the power generation to a corresponding hot water storage tank, a history storage unit that stores a history of heat consumption in each hot water storage tank, and a load The amount of heat to be supplied to each hot water tank is calculated on the basis of the amount of electricity demand and the history of heat consumption of each hot water tank stored in the history storage unit, and the power generation of the corresponding fuel cell based on the heat quantity An electric heat supply system including a control unit for controlling the amount is provided.

制御部は、履歴格納部が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕に貯湯するべき必要貯湯量を算出し、貯湯量が必要貯湯量より小さい貯湯漕に対応する一つ又は複数の燃料電池に、負荷に供給する電力を発電させてよい。   Based on the history of heat consumption of each hot water storage stored in the history storage unit, the control unit calculates the required hot water storage amount to be stored in each hot water storage tank, and the hot water storage amount is smaller than the required hot water storage amount. One or more corresponding fuel cells may generate power to be supplied to the load.

制御部は、履歴格納部が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕に貯湯するべき必要湯温を算出し、湯温が必要湯温より小さい貯湯漕に対応する一つ又は複数の燃料電池に、負荷に供給する電力を発電させてよい。   The control unit calculates the required hot water temperature to be stored in each hot water tank based on the history of heat consumption of each hot water tank stored in the history storage unit, and the hot water temperature is smaller than the required hot water temperature. One or more corresponding fuel cells may generate power to be supplied to the load.

Based on the history of heat consumption of the hot water storage stored in the history storage unit, the control unit calculates the predicted heat demand for a predetermined period in the future of each hot water storage, and calculates each predicted heat demand The power network controls the power generation amount of the corresponding fuel cell so that the amount of heat can be supplied, and the power network determines that the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells controlled by the control unit is larger than the total power demand amount of the plurality of loads. The power storage unit may store excess power.

制御部は、予測熱需要量がある時刻において増加する場合に、ある時刻より予め定められた時間前に、予め対応する燃料電池の発電量を増加させてよい。制御部は、それぞれの貯湯漕の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池を発電させた場合において、複数の燃料電池の総発電量が、複数の負荷の総電力需要量より小さい場合に、不足する電力を蓄電部から負荷に供給させてよい。   When the predicted heat demand increases at a certain time, the control unit may increase the power generation amount of the corresponding fuel cell in advance before a predetermined time from the certain time. In the case where the control unit generates power corresponding to the expected heat demand of each hot water storage tank, and the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells is smaller than the total power demand amount of the plurality of loads, The insufficient power may be supplied from the power storage unit to the load.

制御部は、それぞれの貯湯漕の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池を発電させた場合において、複数の燃料電池の総発電量と、蓄電池が供給可能な電力量との和が、複数の負荷の総電力需要量より小さい場合に、対応する貯湯漕おける予測熱需要量が最も近い将来に増加する燃料電池の発電量を増加させてよい。   The control unit generates a plurality of sums of the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells and the amount of power that can be supplied by the storage battery when the corresponding fuel cell is caused to generate power according to the expected heat demand of each storage tank. When the total power demand of the load is smaller than the total power demand, the predicted heat demand in the corresponding hot water storage tank may increase the power generation amount of the fuel cell that will increase in the near future.

電力ネットワークは、外部の電力系統と接続され、複数の燃料電池の総発電量と、蓄電池が供給可能な電力量との和が、複数の負荷の総電力需要量より小さい場合に、不足する電力を外部の電力系統から受け取ってよい。   The power network is connected to an external power system, and when the sum of the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells and the power amount that can be supplied by the storage battery is smaller than the total power demand amount of the plurality of loads, the power shortage May be received from an external power system.

それぞれの貯湯漕に対応して設けられ、電力により発熱する複数の電熱器を更に備え、制御部は、それぞれの貯湯漕の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池を発電させた場合に、燃料電池の発電効率が予め定められた効率以下となる場合に、当該燃料電池の発電を停止させ、対応する電熱器から貯湯漕に熱を供給させてよい。   A plurality of electric heaters that are provided corresponding to each hot water tank and that generate heat by electric power are further provided, and the control unit generates power for the corresponding fuel cell according to the expected heat demand of each hot water tank. When the power generation efficiency of the fuel cell is equal to or lower than a predetermined efficiency, power generation of the fuel cell may be stopped and heat may be supplied from the corresponding electric heater to the hot water tank.

制御部は、電熱器から貯湯漕に熱を供給させる場合に、発電している燃料電池のうち最も発電効率が高い燃料電池の発電量を、電熱器を駆動するための電力量増加させ、電熱器に電力を供給させてよい。制御部は、使用者から与えられる使用者情報に更に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕に供給するべき熱量を算出してよい。   When supplying heat from the electric heater to the hot water tank, the control unit increases the electric power generation amount of the fuel cell having the highest power generation efficiency among the fuel cells that are generating electric power to drive the electric heater. The device may be supplied with power. The control unit may calculate the amount of heat to be supplied to each hot water tank based further on the user information given by the user.

なお、上記の発明の概要は、本発明の必要な特徴の全てを列挙したものではなく、これらの特徴群のサブコンビネーションもまた、発明となりうる。   The above summary of the invention does not enumerate all the necessary features of the present invention, and sub-combinations of these feature groups can also be the invention.

本発明によれば、それぞれの負荷及び貯湯漕に、電力及び熱を効率よく供給することができる。   According to the present invention, electric power and heat can be efficiently supplied to each load and hot water tank.

以下、発明の実施の形態を通じて本発明を説明するが、以下の実施形態は特許請求の範囲にかかる発明を限定するものではなく、また実施形態の中で説明されている特徴の組み合わせの全てが発明の解決手段に必須であるとは限らない。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the scope of claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included. It is not necessarily essential for the solution of the invention.

図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る電熱供給システム100の構成の一例を示す。本例における電熱供給システム100は、集合住宅の各住居(110a〜110c、以下110と総称する)に設けられた複数の負荷(10a〜10c、以下10と総称する)に電力を供給し、集合住宅の各住居110に設けられた複数の貯湯漕(30a〜30c、以下30と総称する)に熱を供給する。ここで、集合住宅とは、一の建築物に複数の住居110を設けたものであってよく、所定の領域に設けられた複数の建築物をそれぞれ住居110としたものであってもよい。   FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of an electric heat supply system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electric heat supply system 100 in this example supplies electric power to a plurality of loads (10a to 10c, hereinafter collectively referred to as 10) provided in each residence (110a to 110c, hereinafter collectively referred to as 110) of the apartment house, Heat is supplied to a plurality of hot water tanks (30a to 30c, hereinafter collectively referred to as 30) provided in each residence 110 of the house. Here, the collective housing may be one in which a plurality of residences 110 are provided in one building, and may be one in which a plurality of buildings provided in a predetermined area are respectively designated as residences 110.

電熱供給システム100は、電力ネットワーク10、複数の燃料電池(20a〜20c、以下20と総称する)、履歴格納部50、制御部60、及び蓄電部40を備える。複数の燃料電池20は、複数の貯湯漕30に対応して設けられ、対応する負荷10に供給する電力を発電し、発電によって発生した熱を対応する貯湯漕30に供給する。それぞれの貯湯漕30は、例えば対応する燃料電池20を冷却するための冷却水を循環させることにより、燃料電池20の排熱を受け取る。   The electric heat supply system 100 includes an electric power network 10, a plurality of fuel cells (20a to 20c, hereinafter collectively referred to as 20), a history storage unit 50, a control unit 60, and a power storage unit 40. The plurality of fuel cells 20 are provided corresponding to the plurality of hot water tanks 30, generate electric power to be supplied to the corresponding loads 10, and supply heat generated by the power generation to the corresponding hot water tanks 30. Each hot water tank 30 receives the exhaust heat of the fuel cell 20 by circulating cooling water for cooling the corresponding fuel cell 20, for example.

また、それぞれの燃料電池20は、例えば固体高分子形燃料電池(PEFC)である。それぞれの燃料電池20は、例えば各住居に供給される都市ガス、プロパンガス等を改質して、燃料となる水素ガスを生成する物であってよく、また外部から供給される水素ガスを燃料とするものであってもよい。   Each fuel cell 20 is, for example, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Each fuel cell 20 may be, for example, a product that reforms city gas, propane gas, or the like supplied to each residence to generate hydrogen gas as fuel, and uses hydrogen gas supplied from the outside as fuel. It may be.

また、複数の燃料電池20は、電力ネットワーク10に接続され、電力ネットワーク10を介して他の住居110に設けられた負荷10に電力を供給可能に設けられる。また同様に、複数の負荷10は、電力ネットワーク10に接続され、電力ネットワーク10を介して他の住居110に設けられた燃料電池20から電力を受け取ることができるように設けられる。つまり、電力ネットワーク10は、それぞれの燃料電池20が発電した電力を、それぞれの負荷10の電力需要量に応じてそれぞれの負荷10に分配する。   The plurality of fuel cells 20 are connected to the power network 10 and are provided so as to be able to supply power to the load 10 provided in another residence 110 via the power network 10. Similarly, the plurality of loads 10 are connected to the power network 10 so as to be able to receive power from the fuel cells 20 provided in other residences 110 via the power network 10. That is, the power network 10 distributes the power generated by each fuel cell 20 to each load 10 according to the power demand of each load 10.

履歴格納部50は、それぞれの貯湯漕30における、熱消費量の履歴を格納する。例えば、履歴格納部50は、一日を複数の時間帯に分割して、それぞれの時間帯毎に、それぞれの貯湯漕30における熱消費量の履歴を格納してよい。また、履歴格納部50は、それぞれの貯湯漕30が供給するべき温水量を当該熱消費量として、それぞれの時間帯毎に格納してよく、またそれぞれの貯湯漕30が供給するべき温水の温度を当該熱消費量として、それぞれの時間帯毎に格納してもよい。また、履歴格納部50は、それぞれの貯湯漕30が供給するべき温水量、及びその温度を当該熱消費量として格納してもよい。   The history storage unit 50 stores a history of heat consumption in each hot water storage tank 30. For example, the history storage unit 50 may divide a day into a plurality of time zones and store a history of heat consumption in each hot water tank 30 for each time zone. The history storage unit 50 may store the amount of hot water to be supplied by each hot water tank 30 as the heat consumption for each time zone, and the temperature of the hot water to be supplied by each hot water tank 30. May be stored for each time period as the heat consumption. The history storage unit 50 may store the amount of hot water to be supplied by each hot water tank 30 and the temperature thereof as the heat consumption.

制御部60は、それぞれの負荷10の電力需要量、及び履歴格納部50が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕30の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの燃料電池20から対応する貯湯漕30に供給するべき熱量を算出し、算出した熱量に基づいて、それぞれの燃料電池20の発電量を制御する。つまり、本例における電熱供給システム100は、燃料電池20の排熱量が、各住居における熱消費量と略同一になるように燃料電池20の発電量を制御する。このような制御により、各住居において余剰に熱量を生成することを防ぐことができる。   The control unit 60 supplies the corresponding hot water tank 30 from each fuel cell 20 based on the power demand amount of each load 10 and the history of the heat consumption of each hot water tank 30 stored in the history storage unit 50. The amount of heat to be calculated is calculated, and the power generation amount of each fuel cell 20 is controlled based on the calculated amount of heat. That is, the electric heat supply system 100 in this example controls the power generation amount of the fuel cell 20 so that the exhaust heat amount of the fuel cell 20 is substantially the same as the heat consumption amount in each residence. Such control can prevent excessive generation of heat in each residence.

例えば、制御部60は、履歴格納部50が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕30の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕30に貯湯するべき必要貯湯量を算出し、貯湯量が必要貯湯量より小さい貯湯漕に対応する一つ又は複数の燃料電池に、負荷10に供給する電力を発電させてよい。また、制御部60は、履歴格納部50が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕30の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕に貯湯するべき必要湯温を算出し、湯温が必要湯温より小さい貯湯漕30に対応する一つ又は複数の燃料電池20に、負荷10に供給する電力を発電させてもよい。つまり、制御部60は、貯湯漕30に必要な熱量が蓄積されている場合には、対応する燃料電池20には発電をさせないように制御してよい。   For example, the control unit 60 calculates the necessary hot water storage amount to be stored in each hot water storage 30 based on the heat consumption history of each hot water storage 30 stored in the history storage unit 50, and the hot water storage amount is required. The electric power supplied to the load 10 may be generated in one or more fuel cells corresponding to the hot water storage tank smaller than the amount. Moreover, the control part 60 calculates the required hot water temperature which should be stored in each hot water tank based on the heat consumption log | history of each hot water tank 30 which the log | history storage part 50 stored, and hot water temperature is required hot water temperature. One or a plurality of fuel cells 20 corresponding to smaller hot water tanks 30 may generate power to be supplied to the load 10. That is, the control unit 60 may perform control so that the corresponding fuel cell 20 does not generate power when the amount of heat necessary for the hot water tank 30 is accumulated.

また、制御部60は、履歴格納部50が格納したそれぞれの貯湯漕30の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、それぞれの貯湯漕30の将来における予め定められた期間の予測熱需要量を算出し、算出したそれぞれの予測熱需要量を給熱できるように、対応する燃料電池20の発電量を制御してよい。   In addition, the control unit 60 calculates a predicted heat demand for a predetermined period in the future of each hot water tank 30 based on the heat consumption history of each hot water tank 30 stored in the history storage unit 50. The power generation amount of the corresponding fuel cell 20 may be controlled so that the calculated predicted heat demand can be supplied.

例えば、制御部60は、履歴格納部50が格納した熱消費量の履歴のうち、前年、又は前月の同日の熱消費量の履歴に基づいて、当日のそれぞれの貯湯漕30における予測熱需要量を算出してよい。また、制御部60は、一日を複数の時間帯に分割したそれぞれの時間帯における熱消費量の履歴の、予め定められた日数の平均値を、当日のそれぞれの時間帯における、それぞれの貯湯漕30の予測熱需要量として算出してもよい。また、制御部60は、予め定められた期間における熱消費量の履歴を曜日毎に分類して、曜日毎に予測熱需要量を算出してもよい。この場合においても、それぞれの曜日を複数の時間帯に分割したそれぞれの時間帯における予測熱需要量を算出してよい。また、制御部60は、現在の熱消費量に基づいて、将来の予測熱需要量を算出してもよい。例えば、現在供給している温水の温度を検出し、当該温度の温水の継続供給時間の平均値を過去の履歴から算出してもよい。   For example, based on the heat consumption history of the same day of the previous year or the previous month among the heat consumption history stored in the history storage unit 50, the control unit 60 predicts the predicted heat demand in each hot water tank 30 on that day. May be calculated. In addition, the control unit 60 calculates the average value of the predetermined number of days of the history of heat consumption in each time zone obtained by dividing the day into a plurality of time zones, for each hot water storage in each time zone of the day. It may be calculated as the predicted heat demand of the bag 30. Moreover, the control part 60 may classify | categorize the log | history of the heat consumption in the predetermined period for every day of the week, and may calculate the predicted heat demand for every day of the week. Even in this case, the predicted heat demand in each time zone obtained by dividing each day of the week into a plurality of time zones may be calculated. In addition, the control unit 60 may calculate a future predicted heat demand based on the current heat consumption. For example, the temperature of the hot water currently supplied may be detected, and the average value of the continuous hot water supply temperature may be calculated from the past history.

また、制御部60は、前述した予測熱需要量を、使用者から与えられる使用者情報に更に基づいて算出してよい。ここで、使用者情報は、当該使用者情報を用いて予測熱需要量を算出するべき日時を指定する日付情報と対応付けて、制御部60に予め与えられる。   In addition, the control unit 60 may calculate the above-described predicted heat demand based on user information given by the user. Here, the user information is given in advance to the control unit 60 in association with date information that specifies the date and time when the predicted heat demand is to be calculated using the user information.

また、使用者情報とは、予め与えられる、例えば使用者の帰宅予定時間等であってよい。この場合、制御部60は、前日の使用者の帰宅予定時間と、当日の使用者の帰宅予定時間とを比較し、帰宅予定時間の差異の基づいて当日の時間帯毎の予測熱需要量を算出してよい。また、制御部60には、前日の使用者の帰宅時間が与えられ、前日の使用者の帰宅時間と、当日の使用者の帰宅予定時間とを比較してもよい。例えば、当日の帰宅予定時間が前日の帰宅時間より2時間早い場合、制御部60は、当日の時間帯毎の予測熱需要量を2時間前倒しするように算出する。   The user information may be given in advance, for example, the user's scheduled return time. In this case, the control unit 60 compares the scheduled return time of the user on the previous day with the scheduled return time of the user on the current day, and calculates the predicted heat demand for each time zone on the current day based on the difference in the scheduled return time. It may be calculated. The control unit 60 may be given the return time of the user on the previous day, and may compare the return time of the user on the previous day with the scheduled return time of the user on the current day. For example, when the scheduled return time on the current day is two hours earlier than the previous day's return time, the control unit 60 calculates the predicted heat demand for each time zone on the current day to be advanced by 2 hours.

また、使用者情報とは、例えば使用者から与えられる曜日情報であってもよい。この場合、制御部60は、前述したように曜日毎の予測熱需要量を予め算出し、使用者から与えられる曜日情報に基づいて、曜日毎の予測熱需要量から当日の予測熱需要量を選択する。これらのような制御部60の動作により、使用者の生活サイクルに応じた予測熱需要量を適切に算出することができる。   Further, the user information may be day information given by the user, for example. In this case, as described above, the control unit 60 calculates the predicted heat demand for each day of the week in advance, and calculates the predicted heat demand for the day from the predicted heat demand for each day of the week based on the day of week information given by the user. select. The operation | movement of the control part 60 like these can calculate the predicted heat demand according to a user's life cycle appropriately.

本例においては、各住居において、熱消費量に応じて燃料電池20の発電量を制御しているため、各住居の負荷10の電力需要量に対して、燃料電池20が電力を過剰、又は過小に生成する場合がある。それぞれの燃料電池20は、発電した電力が、対応する負荷10の電力需要量より大きい場合、余剰の電力を電力ネットワークに供給する。また電力ネットワーク10は、燃料電池20が発電した電力が、対応する負荷10の電力需要量より小さい場合、他の燃料電池20から受け取った余剰電力を、電力が不足する負荷10に供給する。このような制御を行うことにより、それぞれの燃料電池20が発電した電力を効率よく使用することができる。このため、複数の燃料電池20全体のエネルギー効率を向上させることができる。   In this example, since the power generation amount of the fuel cell 20 is controlled according to heat consumption in each residence, the fuel cell 20 has excessive power with respect to the power demand amount of the load 10 of each residence, or It may be generated too small. Each fuel cell 20 supplies surplus power to the power network when the generated power is larger than the power demand of the corresponding load 10. In addition, when the power generated by the fuel cell 20 is smaller than the power demand amount of the corresponding load 10, the power network 10 supplies the surplus power received from the other fuel cells 20 to the load 10 that lacks power. By performing such control, the electric power generated by each fuel cell 20 can be used efficiently. For this reason, the energy efficiency of the whole several fuel cell 20 can be improved.

また、電力ネットワーク10は、制御部60が制御した複数の燃料電池20の総発電量が、複数の負荷10の総電力需要量より大きい場合に、余剰の電力を蓄電する蓄電部40を有してよい。制御部60は、それぞれの貯湯漕30の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池20を発電させた場合において、複数の燃料電池20の総発電量が、複数の負荷10の総電力需要量より小さい場合に、不足する電力を蓄電部40から負荷10に供給させる。このような制御により、発電した電力の無駄を更に低減させ、エネルギー効率を更に向上させることができる。   The power network 10 also includes a power storage unit 40 that stores surplus power when the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells 20 controlled by the control unit 60 is larger than the total power demand amount of the plurality of loads 10. It's okay. When the control unit 60 generates the corresponding fuel cell 20 according to the predicted heat demand of each hot water tank 30, the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells 20 is the total power demand amount of the plurality of loads 10. If it is smaller, the insufficient power is supplied from the power storage unit 40 to the load 10. Such control can further reduce the waste of generated power and further improve energy efficiency.

また、制御部60が、それぞれの貯湯漕30の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池20を発電させた場合、複数の燃料電池20の総発電量と、蓄電池40が供給可能な電力量との和が、複数の負荷10の総電力需要量より小さい場合がある。このような場合には、電力が不足してしまうため、制御部60は、対応する貯湯漕30おける予測熱需要量が最も近い将来に増加する燃料電池20の発電量を増加させ、不足電力を補ってよい。   In addition, when the control unit 60 generates the corresponding fuel cell 20 according to the expected heat demand of each hot water tank 30, the total power generation amount of the plurality of fuel cells 20 and the amount of power that can be supplied by the storage battery 40 May be smaller than the total power demand of the plurality of loads 10. In such a case, since the power is insufficient, the control unit 60 increases the power generation amount of the fuel cell 20 that increases in the near future in which the predicted heat demand in the corresponding hot water storage tank 30 is closest, and reduces the power shortage. You may make up for it.

また、電力ネットワーク10は、外部の電力系統と接続されていてもよい。この場合、前述したように電力が不足してしまう場合に、不足する電力を外部の電力系統から受け取って負荷10に供給してもよい。このような制御により、電熱供給システム100が生成する電力及び熱を無駄なく使用することができる。   The power network 10 may be connected to an external power system. In this case, as described above, when the power is insufficient, the insufficient power may be received from the external power system and supplied to the load 10. By such control, the electric power and heat generated by the electric heat supply system 100 can be used without waste.

電力は熱に比べ、遠距離に分配すること、及び蓄積することが容易であるため、本例における電熱供給システム100のように各住居110の燃料電池20を予測熱消費量に応じて制御することにより、各住居110に対して電力及び熱を効率よく供給することができる。   Since electric power is easier to distribute and store over a longer distance than heat, the fuel cell 20 of each residence 110 is controlled according to the predicted heat consumption as in the electric heat supply system 100 in this example. Thus, power and heat can be efficiently supplied to each residence 110.

図2は、それぞれの貯湯漕30における予測熱需要量の一例を示す。本例において、制御部60は、一日を複数の時間帯に分割したそれぞれの時間帯における予測熱需要量を算出する。前述したように、制御部60は、対応する貯湯漕30の予測熱需要量に基づいて、それぞれの燃料電池20の発電量を制御する。例えば、制御部60は、貯湯漕30aの予測熱需要量がある時刻aにおいて増加する場合に、ある時刻aより予め定められた時間前に、予め対応する燃料電池20aの発電量を増加させてよい。例えば、制御部60は、燃料電池20aの給熱量の変動の速度に基づいて、当該ある時刻aより予め定められた時間前に燃料電池20aの発電量を増加、又は燃料電池20aを起動してよい。このような制御により、所望の時刻に所望の熱量を精度よく供給することができる。   FIG. 2 shows an example of the predicted heat demand in each hot water tank 30. In this example, the control unit 60 calculates the predicted heat demand in each time zone obtained by dividing one day into a plurality of time zones. As described above, the control unit 60 controls the power generation amount of each fuel cell 20 based on the predicted heat demand of the corresponding hot water tank 30. For example, when the predicted heat demand of the hot water storage tank 30a increases at a certain time a, the control unit 60 increases the power generation amount of the corresponding fuel cell 20a in advance before a predetermined time from the certain time a. Good. For example, the control unit 60 increases the power generation amount of the fuel cell 20a or activates the fuel cell 20a before a predetermined time from the certain time a based on the fluctuation rate of the heat supply amount of the fuel cell 20a. Good. By such control, a desired amount of heat can be accurately supplied at a desired time.

図3は、電熱供給システム100の構成の他の例を示す。本例において、電熱供給システム100は、図1において説明した電熱供給システム100の構成に加え、それぞれの貯湯漕30に対応して設けられ、電力により発熱する複数の電熱器(70a〜70c、以下70と総称する)を更に備える。図3において図1と同一の符号を付した構成要素は、図1において説明した構成要素と同一又は同様の機能及び構成を有する。   FIG. 3 shows another example of the configuration of the electric heat supply system 100. In this example, in addition to the configuration of the electric heat supply system 100 described in FIG. 1, the electric heat supply system 100 is provided corresponding to each hot water tank 30 and generates a plurality of electric heaters (70a to 70c, below) that generate heat by electric power. 70). 3, components having the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 have the same or similar functions and configurations as the components described in FIG.

制御部60は、それぞれの貯湯漕30の予想熱需要量に応じて対応する燃料電池20を発電させた場合に、燃料電池20の発電効率が予め定められた効率以下となる場合に、当該燃料電池20の発電を停止させてよい。この場合、対応する貯湯漕30に熱量を供給するために、制御部60は、停止させた燃料電池20に対応する電熱器70から貯湯漕30に熱を供給させる。   When the power generation efficiency of the fuel cell 20 is equal to or lower than a predetermined efficiency when the corresponding fuel cell 20 is generated according to the expected heat demand of each hot water tank 30, the control unit 60 The power generation of the battery 20 may be stopped. In this case, in order to supply heat to the corresponding hot water tank 30, the control unit 60 supplies heat to the hot water tank 30 from the electric heater 70 corresponding to the stopped fuel cell 20.

この場合、制御部60は、発電している燃料電池20のうち最も発電効率が高い領域で動作している燃料電池20の発電量を、当該電熱器70を駆動するための電力量増加させ、当該電熱器70に電力を供給させる。また、制御部60は、当該貯湯漕30の予測熱消費量に応じて、当該電熱器70を駆動させるための電力量を算出する。このような制御により、貯湯漕30に安定して熱量を供給しつつ、燃料電池20を低発電効率で動作することを防ぎ、発電効率を向上させることができる。   In this case, the control unit 60 increases the power generation amount of the fuel cell 20 operating in the region where the power generation efficiency is highest among the fuel cells 20 that are generating power, to increase the amount of power for driving the electric heater 70, Electric power is supplied to the electric heater 70. Further, the control unit 60 calculates the amount of electric power for driving the electric heater 70 according to the predicted heat consumption amount of the hot water tank 30. By such control, it is possible to prevent the fuel cell 20 from operating at low power generation efficiency while stably supplying heat to the hot water tank 30, and to improve power generation efficiency.
