Description

本発明は、分散型電源と連系可能な配電系統を制御する配電自動化システム等の配電制御装置、この配電制御装置が分散型電源を監視する監視方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a power distribution control device such as a power distribution automation system that controls a power distribution system that can be linked to a distributed power source, and a monitoring method in which the power distribution control device monitors a distributed power source.

最近、工場やビル、一般住宅等の需要家宅において、例えば太陽光発電システム、風力発電システム、コジェネレ−ション設備等の比較的小規模な発電システムを商用電源の配電系統に連系させる分散型電源が普及しつつある(例えば、特許文献1、2参照。)。   Recently, distributed power sources that connect relatively small-scale power generation systems, such as solar power generation systems, wind power generation systems, and cogeneration facilities, to commercial power distribution systems in consumer homes such as factories, buildings, and general houses. (See, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

図4のブロック図を参照しつつ、この分散型電源と、配電系統を制御する配電自動化システムとの連系例について説明する。ここで、連系とは、分散型電源と、電力会社が供給する商用ラインである配電系統とが電気的に接続し、この分散型電源と配電系統とが連系動作することを意味する。同図によれば、変電所20からの高圧(例えば6.6kV)配電線210は、柱上変圧器40を介して需要家宅へ低圧(例えば210V)配電線620として引き込まれている。また、柱上変圧器40近傍に柱上開閉器41が設けられており、ここで高圧配電線210を遮断又は接続が可能となっている。この柱上開閉器41の入り・切りは、その近傍に設けられた遠方監視制御装置の子局(以後、遠制子局と略称する)42を介し、更に光通信線310及び電力会社が管轄する通信網300を介して、配電遠方監視制御装置の親局(以後、配電遠制親局と略称する)550により制御される。この配電遠制親局550は、前記の子局42に制御信号を送信する機能を有するものである。この親局550は、配電用サーバ510及び監視制御用端末520と通信線560を介して相互に接続され、配電自動化システム50として電力会社の営業所に設置されている。分散型電源70は、需要家宅へ引き込まれた低圧配電線620を介して配電系統2と連系可能となっている。具体的には、低電圧配電線620に対して、需要家宅内の負荷(不図示)とともに分散型電源70が接続されている。   With reference to the block diagram of FIG. 4, an example of interconnection between this distributed power source and a distribution automation system that controls the distribution system will be described. Here, the term “interconnection” means that a distributed power source and a power distribution system that is a commercial line supplied by an electric power company are electrically connected, and the distributed power source and the power distribution system operate in an interconnected manner. According to the figure, the high voltage (for example, 6.6 kV) distribution line 210 from the substation 20 is drawn into the customer's house as a low voltage (for example, 210 V) distribution line 620 through the pole transformer 40. Moreover, the pole switch 41 is provided in the vicinity of the pole transformer 40, and the high voltage distribution line 210 can be cut off or connected here. The pole switch 41 is turned on and off via a remote station (hereinafter referred to as a remote control station) 42 of a remote monitoring control device provided in the vicinity thereof, and further controlled by the optical communication line 310 and the electric power company. The network is controlled by a master station (hereinafter abbreviated as a “distribution remote control master station”) 550 of the power distribution far-field monitoring control device via the communication network 300. The power distribution distance control master station 550 has a function of transmitting a control signal to the slave station 42. The master station 550 is connected to the power distribution server 510 and the monitoring control terminal 520 via the communication line 560 and is installed as a power distribution automation system 50 at a sales office of an electric power company. The distributed power source 70 can be connected to the power distribution system 2 via the low-voltage distribution line 620 drawn into the customer's house. Specifically, a distributed power source 70 is connected to the low voltage distribution line 620 together with a load (not shown) in the customer's house.

この分散型電源70は、配電系統2からの配電停止時に自身が稼動している所謂単独運転の有無を判別して、自身を低圧配電線620から解列する機能を有している。例えば、この分散型電源70は、系統基本波に同調したその非整数倍の周波数の次数間高調波の電流を生成する次数間高調波生成部70aを備えている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。分散型電源70は、この次数間高調波の電流を需要家宅から配電系統2に注入し、当該周波数について配電系統2のインピーダンス又はアドミタンスの変化を検出することにより単独運転の有無を判別する。また、この分散型電源70は、配電系統2に注入された次数間高調波の電流を次数間高調波検出部71により検出することにより、配電時の自身の運転状態を判別する機能も有している。例えば1つの需要家宅に複数の分散型電源70が設置されている場合、この次数間高調波検出部71は、これら複数の分散型電源70に共通して設けられるものである。   The distributed power source 70 has a function of determining whether or not there is a so-called single operation in which the power source is operating when power distribution from the power distribution system 2 is stopped, and disconnecting the power source from the low-voltage power distribution line 620. For example, the distributed power source 70 includes an inter-order harmonic generation unit 70 a that generates an inter-order harmonic current of a frequency that is a non-integer multiple of the frequency tuned to the system fundamental wave (see, for example, Patent Document 3). ). The distributed power source 70 injects this interharmonic current from the customer's home into the distribution system 2 and determines the presence or absence of the single operation by detecting a change in the impedance or admittance of the distribution system 2 for the frequency. In addition, the distributed power source 70 has a function of determining its own operating state at the time of power distribution by detecting an inter-order harmonic current injected into the power distribution system 2 by an inter-order harmonic detection unit 71. ing. For example, when a plurality of distributed power sources 70 are installed in one customer's house, the inter-order harmonic detection unit 71 is provided in common to the plurality of distributed power sources 70.

以上述べた分散型電源70によれば、例えば配電自動化システム50を通じて柱上開閉器41等を切りにして、配電系統2からこの分散型電源70への配電を停止した場合、低圧配電線620を経由して配電系統2に逆潮流が流れる心配は無い。よって、例えば配電線作業、配電系統切替操作、配電線事故発生等に際し、逆潮流に伴う感電、系統事故、事故被害の拡大等の虞も無い。また、次数間高調波検出部71による検出結果を例えば監視員がモニタすることにより、配電時における分散型電源70の運転状態も監視可能である。つまり、配電系統2と分散型電源70との連系状態が配電時でも監視可能ということになる。よって、複数の分散型電源70が配電系統2と連系可能となっている場合には、例えば各監視結果に基づいて各連系状態を統合的に把握すれば、電力会社の営業所における運転員は、配電自動化システム50を通じて系統操作を常時安全に実施できる。

According to the distributed power source 70 described above, for example, when the distribution switch 2 is stopped from the distribution system 2 by turning off the pole switch 41 or the like through the distribution automation system 50, the low voltage distribution line 620 is connected. There is no concern that a reverse power flow will flow through the distribution system 2 via the route. Therefore, there is no risk of electric shock due to reverse power flow, system accidents, accident damage expansion, etc., for example, during distribution line work, distribution system switching operation, and distribution line accident occurrence. Further, for example, a monitoring person monitors the detection result by the inter-order harmonic detection unit 71, so that the operating state of the distributed power source 70 during power distribution can be monitored. That is, the connection state between the power distribution system 2 and the distributed power source 70 can be monitored even during power distribution. Therefore, when a plurality of distributed power sources 70 can be connected to the power distribution system 2, for example, if each connection state is grasped in an integrated manner based on each monitoring result, the operation at the sales office of the power company is performed. Personnel can always perform system operation safely through the distribution automation system 50.

しかしながら、前述した構成において配電系統と分散型電源との連系状態が配電時でも監視可能となるためには、この分散型電源が少なくとも前述した次数間高調波生成部70a(図4)を備えていることが必要である。このため、例えば需要家宅に既設の分散型電源を配電系統2に新たに連系させる場合、次数間高調波生成部70aを組み込むべくこの分散型電源を改造する必要が生じ、電力会社としてはその顧客に負担をかけることになる。   However, in order to be able to monitor the interconnection state between the power distribution system and the distributed power source even during power distribution in the configuration described above, this distributed power source includes at least the inter-order harmonic generation unit 70a (FIG. 4). It is necessary to be. For this reason, for example, when newly connecting a distributed power source installed in a customer's house to the distribution system 2, it is necessary to modify the distributed power source to incorporate the inter-order harmonic generation unit 70a. This will put a burden on the customer.

また、前述した次数間高調波検出部71による検出結果を配電自動化システム50(図4)の運転に効果的に反映させるためには、この次数間高調波検出部71を少なくとも電力会社が管轄する通信網300(図4)と通信可能に接続する必要がある。このため、例えば分散型電源70(図4)を監視する専用の通信線を需要家宅に新設する必要が生じ、これも顧客に負担をかけることになる。   Moreover, in order to effectively reflect the detection result by the inter-order harmonic detection unit 71 described above in the operation of the distribution automation system 50 (FIG. 4), at least the power company has jurisdiction over the inter-order harmonic detection unit 71. The communication network 300 (FIG. 4) needs to be communicably connected. For this reason, for example, a dedicated communication line for monitoring the distributed power supply 70 (FIG. 4) needs to be newly installed in the customer's house, which also places a burden on the customer.

本発明はかかる課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、電力需要側の分散型電源と、電力供給側との連系状態をこの電力需要側に負担をかけずに監視可能な配電制御装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to monitor a connection state between a distributed power source on the power demand side and the power supply side without imposing a burden on the power demand side. It is to provide a possible power distribution control device.

The transmission modem has a function of superimposing data indicating voltage or the like on the power signal of the low-voltage distribution line 230 as an information signal indicating the operating state of the distributed power source 30. The PLC modem 32 has a function of separating the two from the power signal on which the information signal is superimposed by a PLC modem (first repeater, second repeater) 33 provided outside the customer's house to be described later. It is also a transmission modem. The PLC modem 33 is a general PLC modem that is provided as a power outlet in the customer's house and can be used for communication in the customer's house, for example.

The PLC modem 33 is a general master station PLC modem provided outside the customer's home and supervising the PLC modem 32 described above as a slave station modem. Therefore, hereinafter, the slave station PLC modem provided in the customer's house such as the PLC modem 32 is abbreviated as “PLC slave station”, and the master station PLC modem provided outside the consumer's house such as the PLC modem 33 is referred to as “PLC parent It will be abbreviated as “station”.

尚、本実施の形態では、2つの保安用電話130a、31aが、分散型電源遠制親局130及び遠制子局31にそれぞれ設けられ、光通信線320により相互に通信可能に接続されている。この保安用電話130a、31aは、所謂IP(Internet Protocol)電話である。   In the present embodiment, two security telephones 130a and 31a are provided in the distributed power supply remote control master station 130 and the remote control station 31, respectively, and are connected to each other via an optical communication line 320 so that they can communicate with each other. Yes. The security telephones 130a and 31a are so-called IP (Internet Protocol) telephones.

また、本実施の形態では、PLC親局33は需要家宅外に設けられ、PLC子局32は需要家宅内に設けられているとしているが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、PLC親局33及びPLC子局32が全て需要家宅内に設けられていてもよい。また、PLC親局33は、例えば、柱上変圧器40の近傍に設けられるものであってもよい。   In the present embodiment, the PLC master station 33 is provided outside the customer's home and the PLC slave station 32 is provided inside the customer's home. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the PLC master station 33 and the PLC slave station 32 may all be provided in the customer's house. Moreover, the PLC master station 33 may be provided in the vicinity of the pole transformer 40, for example.

上記の構成を備えた配電自動化システム10によれば、例えば、営業所で運転員が、監視制御用端末120を通じて、分散型電源30を配電系統1から解列させる旨を入力すると、この指示信号は光通信線320を通じてPLC親局33に至る。次に、この指示信号は、PLC親局33で配電系統1からの電力信号に重畳され、低圧配電線230を通じて需要家宅内のPLC子局32に至る。次に、この指示信号は、PLC子局32で電力信号から分離されて遠制子局31の開閉部(不図示)に切りの動作を実施させる。次に、分散型電源30が配電系統1から解列されると、この開閉部(不図示)による切りの旨を示すデータが、情報信号として前記と逆の経路を辿って配電自動化システム10に至り、監視制御用端末120の適宜なディスプレイ(不図示)にその旨が表示される。   According to the distribution automation system 10 having the above-described configuration, for example, when an operator inputs that the distributed power source 30 is disconnected from the distribution system 1 through the monitoring control terminal 120 at the sales office, the instruction signal Reaches the PLC master station 33 through the optical communication line 320. Next, this instruction signal is superimposed on the power signal from the distribution system 1 at the PLC master station 33, and reaches the PLC slave station 32 in the customer's house through the low-voltage distribution line 230. Next, the instruction signal is separated from the power signal by the PLC slave station 32 and causes the switching unit (not shown) of the remote control station 31 to perform a cutting operation. Next, when the distributed power source 30 is disconnected from the distribution system 1, data indicating that the switching unit (not shown) is turned off follows the reverse path as the information signal to the distribution automation system 10. This is displayed on an appropriate display (not shown) of the monitoring control terminal 120.

上記以外にも、電力会社と顧客との間で予め定められた取り決め等に基づいて、配電自動化システム10から分散型電源30を制御することが可能である。例えば、分散型電源30の出力電圧をモニタしつつ当該出力電圧を制御するためには、この分散型電源30が備えた公知の電圧調整部(不図示)を制御する制御部(不図示)等を、遠制子局31に対して新たに設ければよい。この制御部(不図示)は、例えば前述した開閉部(不図示)と同様に公知のものである。   In addition to the above, it is possible to control the distributed power source 30 from the distribution automation system 10 based on a predetermined agreement between the power company and the customer. For example, in order to control the output voltage while monitoring the output voltage of the distributed power source 30, a control unit (not shown) for controlling a known voltage adjusting unit (not shown) provided in the distributed power source 30 or the like. May be newly provided for the remote control station 31. This control part (not shown) is a well-known thing like the opening-and-closing part (not shown) mentioned above, for example.

以上から、分散型電源30と配電系統1との連系状態(例えば、「遮断」又は「接続」、「出力電圧○○Vで運転中」等の運転状態を示す情報等)を、配電自動化システム10から監視できることになる。   From the above, the distribution state between the distributed power source 30 and the distribution system 1 (for example, information indicating the operation state such as “cut off” or “connection”, “operating at output voltage OOV”, etc.) is automatically distributed. It can be monitored from the system 10.

===連系状態を監視可能且つ電力需要側に負担をかけない配電制御装置===
前述した構成を備えた配電自動化システム10は、以下述べる理由から、低コストのシステムとなる。
=== Distribution control device that can monitor the interconnection state and does not place a burden on the power demand side ===
The distribution automation system 10 having the above-described configuration is a low-cost system for the reasons described below.

図2を参照しつつ、需要家宅におけるPLC親局及びPLC子局のもう一つの構成例について説明する。同図は、本実施の形態の分散型電源とその周辺装置とのもう一つの接続例を示すブロック図である。   With reference to FIG. 2, another configuration example of the PLC master station and the PLC slave station in the customer's house will be described. This figure is a block diagram showing another example of connection between the distributed power supply of this embodiment and its peripheral devices.

図2の例示は、図1のPLC子局32が複数のPLC子局(例えば、PLC子局321、322、323等)から構成されていることを意味している。これら複数のPLC子局321、322、323は、需要家宅内の給電用及び通信用として使用可能な一般的な伝送モデムである。例えば、PLC子局321には図1の場合と同様に分散型電源30が接続される一方、他のPLC子局322、323には情報通信機器等の負荷802、803が接続可能である。これらの情報通信機器802、803は、PLC親局331の下、需要家宅内の低圧配電線230’を通じて相互に通信可能である。   The illustration of FIG. 2 means that the PLC slave station 32 of FIG. 1 is composed of a plurality of PLC slave stations (for example, PLC slave stations 321, 322, 323, etc.). The plurality of PLC slave stations 321, 322, and 323 are general transmission modems that can be used for power supply and communication in a customer's house. For example, while the distributed power source 30 is connected to the PLC slave station 321 as in the case of FIG. 1, loads 802 and 803 such as information communication devices can be connected to the other PLC slave stations 322 and 323. These information communication devices 802 and 803 can communicate with each other through the low voltage distribution line 230 ′ in the customer's house under the PLC master station 331.

これにより、例えば、需要家宅に分散型電源を新設し、これを配電系統1に新規に連系させる場合、例えば情報通信機器等の予備としてこの需要家宅内に既に設けられているPLC子局を用いればよい。本実施の形態では、このPLC子局や光通信線等は、分散型電源を監視する専用のものではなく一般的なものである。よって、例えば、特開2001−298865号公報に開示された次数間高調波生成部等を組み込むべく分散型電源を改造したり、分散型電源の監視結果を送信すべく専用の通信線を新規に設けたりする必要がないため、低コストという点で、電力会社は顧客に負担をかけないことになる。尚、もし予備のPLC子局が無い場合でも、PLC親局に対してPLC子局を増設することは容易であり、専用の通信線を新規に開設することに比べて低コストで済む。   Thus, for example, when a distributed power source is newly installed in a customer's house and this is newly connected to the power distribution system 1, for example, a PLC slave station already installed in the customer's house as a spare for information communication equipment or the like is used. Use it. In this embodiment, the PLC slave station, the optical communication line, and the like are general, not dedicated for monitoring the distributed power source. Therefore, for example, a distributed power source is modified to incorporate the inter-order harmonic generation unit disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-298865, or a dedicated communication line is newly added to transmit the monitoring result of the distributed power source. Since there is no need to provide it, the power company does not place a burden on the customer in terms of low cost. Even if there is no spare PLC slave station, it is easy to add a PLC slave station to the PLC master station, and the cost can be reduced compared to newly opening a dedicated communication line.

===複数の需要家宅に分散された複数の分散型電源の監視===
前述した実施の形態では、1つの配電自動化システム10により、1つの需要家宅に設けられた1つの分散型電源30が監視されているとしたが、これに限定されるものではない。以下、図3(a)を参照しつつ、配電自動化システムと、需要家宅における複数の分散型電源との接続例について説明する。同図は、本実施の形態の配電自動化システム10’の構成例、及びこれと周辺装置との接続例を示すもう一つのブロック図である。
=== Monitoring of a plurality of distributed power sources distributed in a plurality of customer homes ===
In the above-described embodiment, one distributed power source 30 provided in one customer's house is monitored by one distribution automation system 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. Hereinafter, a connection example between the distribution automation system and a plurality of distributed power sources in a customer's house will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is another block diagram showing a configuration example of the power distribution automation system 10 ′ of the present embodiment and a connection example between the system and peripheral devices.

図3(a)に例示された配電自動化システム10’は、図1の配電自動化システム10に加えて、複数のPLC親局のそれぞれについてのデータベース(例えば親モデムデータベース171、172)を管理するデータベース管理サーバ170が通信線160を介して更に接続されたものである。このデータベース管理サーバ170は、親モデムデータベース171、172におけるデータの入出力を制御する機能を有する情報処理装置である。   The distribution automation system 10 ′ illustrated in FIG. 3A is a database that manages a database (for example, parent modem databases 171 and 172) for each of a plurality of PLC master stations in addition to the distribution automation system 10 of FIG. A management server 170 is further connected via a communication line 160. The database management server 170 is an information processing apparatus having a function of controlling data input / output in the parent modem databases 171 and 172.

親モデムデータベースは、配電自動化システム10’が監視する複数の分散型電源が複数の需要家宅に渡り分散している場合、これら分散型電源を需要家宅毎に記憶するデータベースである。具体的には、各需要家宅は、そこに設けられたPLC親局(例えば、PLC親局331)により識別する。また、分散型電源は、或るPLC親局の下でのPLC子局(例えば、PLC子局321、322、323)により識別する。この識別を以下具体的に説明する。   When a plurality of distributed power sources monitored by the distribution automation system 10 'are distributed over a plurality of customer homes, the parent modem database is a database that stores these distributed power sources for each customer home. Specifically, each customer's house is identified by a PLC master station (for example, PLC master station 331) provided there. The distributed power source is identified by a PLC slave station (for example, PLC slave stations 321, 322, and 323) under a certain PLC master station. This identification will be specifically described below.

1つの需要家宅外に設けられたPLC親局331に対して、当該需要家宅内で、複数のPLC子局321、322、323が接続され、更に分散型電源301(以後、分散型電源Aと称する)、分散型電源302(以後、分散型電源Bと称する)、分散型電源303(以後、分散型電源Cと称する)がそれぞれ接続されている。一方、配電自動化システム10’の親モデムデータベース171は、例えばPLC親局331に対応する子モデムデータ171aを記憶している(第1記憶部、第2記憶部)。この子モデムデータ171aは、上記の複数の分散型電源A、B、Cを示す情報に、複数のPLC子局321、322、323を示す情報をそれぞれ対応付けたものである(図3(b)参照)。尚、図3(b)は、需要家宅内の複数の分散型電源と該当のPLC子局との対応例を示す図表である。   A plurality of PLC slave stations 321, 322, and 323 are connected to a PLC master station 331 provided outside one customer's house in the customer's house, and a distributed power source 301 (hereinafter referred to as a distributed power source A). Distributed power source 302 (hereinafter referred to as distributed power source B) and distributed power source 303 (hereinafter referred to as distributed power source C) are connected to each other. On the other hand, the parent modem database 171 of the distribution automation system 10 ′ stores, for example, child modem data 171 a corresponding to the PLC master station 331 (first storage unit, second storage unit). The child modem data 171a is obtained by associating information indicating the plurality of distributed power sources A, B, and C with information indicating the plurality of PLC slave stations 321, 322, and 323, respectively (FIG. 3B). )reference). FIG. 3B is a chart showing a correspondence example between a plurality of distributed power sources in the customer's house and the corresponding PLC slave station.

以上から、例えば配電用サーバ110が、データベース管理サーバ170を通じて、親モデムデータベース171、172を参照することにより、PLC親局331及びPLC子局321、322、323を介して、各分散型電源A、B、Cを識別できる。よって、本実施の形態の配電自動化システム10’は、複数の需要家宅に渡り分散された複数の分散型電源を個別に監視できる。   From the above, for example, when the power distribution server 110 refers to the parent modem databases 171 and 172 through the database management server 170, each distributed power source A is connected via the PLC master station 331 and the PLC slave stations 321, 322, and 323. , B, C can be identified. Therefore, the power distribution automation system 10 ′ of the present embodiment can individually monitor a plurality of distributed power sources distributed over a plurality of customer homes.

例えば、配電自動化システム10’からの遠隔操作により、分散型電源Aを低圧配電線220から遮断し、実際に遮断された旨を確認する場合の配電用サーバ110の動作手順について説明する。   For example, an operation procedure of the power distribution server 110 when the distributed power source A is disconnected from the low-voltage distribution line 220 by remote operation from the distribution automation system 10 'and it is confirmed that the distribution has been actually interrupted will be described.

先ず、監視制御用端末120を通じて或る需要家宅の分散型電源Aの遮断の旨のデータが入力されると、配電用サーバ110は、この需要家宅に該当するPLC親局331の親モデムデータベース(第2記憶部)171に記憶された子モデムデータ171aを参照し、分散型電源Aに対応付けられたPLC子局321を示す情報(第2識別情報)を取得する。次に、配電用サーバ110は、遮断の旨の指示信号に対してこのPLC子局321を示す情報を付帯させ、これをPLC親局331へ送信する。この指示信号は、PLC親局331により、分散型電源Aが接続されているPLC子局321に振り分けられる。   First, when data indicating that the distributed power source A of a certain customer's house is shut off is input through the monitoring control terminal 120, the power distribution server 110 transmits the parent modem database (in the PLC master station 331 corresponding to this consumer's house). Reference is made to the child modem data 171a stored in the second storage unit 171 to obtain information (second identification information) indicating the PLC slave station 321 associated with the distributed power source A. Next, the power distribution server 110 attaches information indicating the PLC slave station 321 to the instruction signal indicating the cutoff, and transmits the information to the PLC master station 331. This instruction signal is distributed by the PLC master station 331 to the PLC slave station 321 to which the distributed power source A is connected.

次に、分散型電源Aが低圧配電線220から遮断されると、PLC子局321により、この遮断の旨の情報信号に対してこのPLC子局321を示す情報(第1識別情報)が付帯され、PLC親局331を通じて、配電用サーバ110まで送信される。配電用サーバ110は、この情報信号を受信すると、PLC親局331に該当する親モデムデータベース(第1記憶部)171に記憶された子モデムデータ171aを参照することにより、分散型電源Aを特定できる。   Next, when the distributed power source A is disconnected from the low-voltage distribution line 220, the PLC slave station 321 adds information (first identification information) indicating the PLC slave station 321 to the information signal indicating the cutoff. Then, it is transmitted to the distribution server 110 through the PLC master station 331. Upon receiving this information signal, the distribution server 110 identifies the distributed power source A by referring to the child modem data 171a stored in the parent modem database (first storage unit) 171 corresponding to the PLC master station 331. it can.

前述したように、本実施の形態では、例えば電力会社と顧客との間で予め定められた取り決め等に基づいて、配電自動化システム10、10’から分散型電源30を制御することが可能である。よって、例えば、顧客の分散型電源が配電系統に連系されているか否かを確認でき、従って系統操作や停電作業等を安全に実施できるとともに、配電線電圧を基準値内に収め易くできる。また、例えば、電力会社の配電系統1に対する顧客の分散型電源の連系容量を増加させることができ、従って電力会社の設備投資の抑制を図ることができる。この連系容量の増加が太陽光や風力等の自然エネルギーによるものであれば、これは二酸化炭素ガス排出量の削減にもつながり、環境問題の解決に貢献する。更に、例えば、配電線電圧を基準値内で高め運用することにより、配電線送電容量を増加させ、配電線のより効率的な運用が可能である。   As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to control the distributed power supply 30 from the power distribution automation system 10, 10 ′ based on, for example, a predetermined agreement between the power company and the customer. . Therefore, for example, it is possible to confirm whether or not the customer's distributed power supply is linked to the distribution system, and thus it is possible to safely perform system operation, power outage work, and the like, and to easily keep the distribution line voltage within the reference value. Further, for example, it is possible to increase the interconnection capacity of the customer's distributed power supply with respect to the power distribution system 1 of the power company, and thus it is possible to reduce the capital investment of the power company. If this increase in interconnection capacity is due to natural energy such as sunlight and wind power, this will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide gas emissions and contribute to solving environmental problems. Furthermore, for example, by operating the distribution line voltage within the reference value, the distribution line transmission capacity can be increased, and the distribution line can be operated more efficiently.
