Further, each received input value and measurement data is stored in the storage device 9 in a state where it is possible to determine which consumer 20 the information is from, and when the measurement data is the received information. ing.

  Here, the energy measuring means 22 includes various detectors that detect the operating state of the energy consuming device 23 such as a wattmeter that measures power consumption, a gas meter that measures the consumption of city gas, and each power and gas consuming device. Composed. In particular, the detector detects the operating state of the power and gas consuming equipment related to the energy saving behavior described later. For example, the operating state can be detected by detecting the control signal and power consumption of each device. It shall be configured. Various configurations of the energy measuring means 22 are conceivable and are not limited to those of the present embodiment.

  Moreover, the input means 2 of the system 1 of the present invention is configured to accept input of weather prediction data such as temperature, precipitation, and weather from a storage area 32 to which the weather prediction data providing device 31 can be connected. In the present embodiment, the weather forecast data providing device 31 collectively acquires weather forecast data for a predetermined period such as one day, one week, or one month from an external weather data providing organization and stores it in the storage area 32. Thus, the information is distributed to the input means 2 of the system 1 of the present invention at a predetermined cycle such as one week, and the input means 2 adopts a form in which the distributed weather forecast data is stored in the storage device 9.

  Here, in the storage device 9 of the system 1 of the present invention, the existing data for deriving the relationship between the energy-saving action and the energy-saving effect value from the measurement data received by the input means 2, for example, from the increase / decrease tendency or size by time zone The generation algorithm is registered, and the relationship between the energy saving action and the energy saving effect value in each consumer 20 is calculated from the measurement data received by the input means 2 by the generation algorithm, and the energy saving as illustrated in FIG. The behavior DB 8 is registered for each consumer 20.

  In FIG. 2, the consumer 20 is represented by a consumer code that can be individually identified.

For example, the energy saving effect value indicated by the energy saving action DB 8 is a value generated under a standard weather condition such as 15 ° C. As shown in FIG. It is assumed that the calculation is made up of a formula using the temperature X (° C.) on the date of implementation of the energy saving action, and that the correction by the energy saving effect correction means 5 is performed by a method of adding correction data to the energy saving effect value. Then, the energy-saving effect value related to one energy-saving action such as “the hot water bath time on weekdays is 21:00” of the consumer code “A0001” is “100 yen” before the correction, but the energy-saving effect after the correction is For example, if the temperature on the implementation day is 5 ° C., the correction value is “1.2”, and thus the effect value is calculated as “120 yen”.

  Next, the function of each means 2-7 of this invention system 1 and those processing operation are explained with reference to the illustrated flowchart. In the present embodiment, the predetermined energy saving implementation period is one month, and the system 1 of the present invention provides the consumer 20 with an energy saving action guideline for one month from December 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003. An example is shown.

  The processing contents when the consumer 20 first activates the energy saving action guideline providing system within the energy saving implementation period will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  For example, when the consumer 20 inputs an input value from the operation terminal 21 on December 5, for example, the energy saving effect target value for December 2003 is 1500 yen, and the number of days for performing the energy saving action is 8 days (step # aC1 ), The input means 2 accepts it, and the system 1 of the present invention calculates the consumer code of the consumer 20 from the individual consumer information and stores the December energy saving effect target value in the storage device 9 in association with the consumer code. (Step # a1).

  After the input means 2 accepts the input value from the consumer 20, the energy saving action execution determining means 3 starts from the start of the energy saving action period (December 1) to the present (December 5). The received measurement data of the consumer 20 is read from the storage device 9 and, based on the read measurement data, whether or not each energy saving action has been implemented for all the energy saving actions registered in the energy saving action DB 8 Is determined (step # a2).

  Here, when it is determined that there is a performance record of the energy saving action, the energy saving effect accumulating means 4 was executed during the period from the start of the energy saving action period (December 1) to the present (December 5). Regarding the energy saving action, the weather forecast data on the implementation date is read from the storage device 9, the energy saving effect value and the correction data for the energy saving action are read from the energy saving action DB (step # a21), and the weather forecast data is different from the reference weather condition of the energy saving action DB8. Regarding the energy saving action, the above-described correction processing by the energy saving effect correcting means 6 is performed (step # a22). Next, the energy saving effect accumulating means 4 accumulates the corrected energy saving effect values corrected by the energy saving effect correcting means 6 in processing step # a22 to obtain a cumulative value, and associates the obtained value with the consumer code. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage device 9 (step # a23).

  Next, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 reads the December target value of the consumer 20 and the cumulative value of the energy saving effect value after the correction of the energy saving action with the actual performance from the storage device 9 and accumulates it from the target value. The energy saving effect deficiency value obtained by subtracting the value is calculated (step # a3). Here, for example, in processing step # a2, if it is determined that there is no energy-saving action that has been implemented, the cumulative value of the energy-saving effect value of the consumer 20 is zero. Equivalent to the value.

  Furthermore, the energy-saving action DB8 is used to save the energy-saving effect deficiency calculated in process step # a3 within the desired number of days (8 days) within the energy-saving implementation period (December 1st to 31st). And one or more combinations are selected from the extracted candidates (step # a4). Then, the recommended implementation date is determined so that the implementation date of the energy saving action in the selected combination becomes equal intervals such as December 6, 9, 12 (step # a5).

  After determining the combination of energy saving action candidates and the recommended execution date of each energy saving action in the combination, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 has the same processing contents as processing steps # a21 and # a22, and the weather on the recommended execution date. Predictive data is read from the storage device 9 and the energy saving effect value and correction data for each energy saving action being combined are read from the energy saving action DB (step # a6), and the weather prediction data is different from the standard weather conditions of the energy saving action DB8. Then, the above-described correction processing by the energy saving effect correction means 6 is performed (step # a7). Then, the output means 7 displays, for example, the energy saving shortage value, the energy saving action candidate that can be achieved within the remaining number of days, the corrected energy saving effect value when the candidate is executed, and the remaining number of days. 4 is output to the operation terminal 21 via the computer network 11 in a predetermined output format as shown in FIG. 4 (step # a8).

  In FIG. 4, the energy saving effect target value input by the consumer 20 from the operation terminal 21 and the cumulative energy saving effect value of the energy saving action that has been implemented at the time of browsing are displayed in the upper part of the screen. As energy saving action advice, specific energy saving actions and energy charges to be reduced when the consumer 20 implements the energy saving actions are displayed and listed as energy saving effect values [yen]. Furthermore, the number of days remaining, the energy saving shortage value, and the number of days of the implemented energy saving action are displayed below, and then, candidates for energy saving actions that can be performed to achieve the energy saving shortage value within the remaining days. , The number indicating the energy-saving action that is the candidate, and the energy-saving effect value after correction when the candidate is implemented are displayed in the detail column corresponding to the recommended implementation date of the listed date, The total value is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  Here, after the consumer 20 inputs the energy saving effect target value, when starting the energy saving action guideline providing system within the energy saving period, the consumption is performed in the processing step # aC1 in the processing flow shown in FIG. It is not necessary for the person 20 to input the energy saving effect target value and the desired number of days. In addition, since the energy saving action guideline providing system does not have the input, the processing after the processing step # a2 is performed without performing the processing at the processing step # a1.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, when the energy saving action execution determining unit 3 determines whether or not the energy saving action is performed by the consumer 20, all the energy saving actions registered in the energy saving action DB 8 are targeted. It is not limited.

  For example, the input unit 2 may be configured to be able to accept an input of an energy saving action scheduled to be performed from the operation terminal 21, and may perform a determination of an implementation result for the energy saving action scheduled to be accepted by the input unit 2. In this case, the processing content when the consumer 20 inputs the energy saving action scheduled to be performed will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  For example, when the consumer 20 inputs an input value such as 1500 yen for the energy saving effect target value for December 2003 and 8 days for the desired number of days from the operation terminal 21 (step # bC1), the input means 2 for performing the energy saving action The system 1 of the present invention calculates the consumer code of the consumer 20 from the consumer individual information, and stores the December energy saving target value and the desired number of days in the storage device 9 in association with the consumer code ( Step # b1). Similarly, when the consumer 20 inputs an input value, such as “energy saving action on a weekday bath is 21:00” on the operation terminal 21 (step # bC2), The implementation input means 2 accepts it and stores the energy saving action scheduled for implementation in December in the storage device 9 in association with the consumer code (step # b2).

  After the input means 2 accepts an input value from the consumer 20, the energy saving action execution determining means 3 is input as the energy saving action scheduled for the consumer 20 to implement, and from the start of the energy saving action period (December 1) The measurement data of the consumer 20 of the energy saving action such as “weekday bath hot water time is 21:00” executed up to now (December 5) is read from the storage device 9, and the read measurement data is Based on this, it is determined whether or not there is a performance record of the energy saving action (step # b3).

  Here, when it is determined that there is a performance record of the energy saving action, the energy saving effect accumulating means 4 was executed during the period from the start of the energy saving action period (December 1) to the present (December 5). Regarding the energy saving action, the weather forecast data on the implementation date is read from the storage device 9, the energy saving effect value and the correction data for the energy saving action are read from the energy saving action DB (step # b31), and the weather forecast data is different from the reference weather condition of the energy saving action DB8. Regarding the energy saving action, the above-described correction processing by the energy saving effect correcting means 6 is performed (step # b32). Next, the energy saving effect accumulating unit 4 accumulates the corrected energy saving effect values corrected by the energy saving effect correcting unit 6 in processing step # b32 to obtain a cumulative value, and associates the obtained value with the consumer code. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage device 9 (step # b33).

  Next, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 reads the energy saving effect target value for December of the consumer 20 and the cumulative value of the energy saving effect value after correcting the energy saving action with the actual performance from the storage device 9, and saves the energy saving effect. An energy saving effect deficiency value obtained by subtracting the cumulative value from the target value is calculated (step # b4). Here, for example, in processing step # b3, when it is determined that there is no energy saving action that has been implemented, the cumulative value of the energy saving effect value of the consumer 20 is zero. Equivalent to the value.

  In addition, the energy saving action DB 8 is used to save the energy saving effect deficiency value calculated in process step # b4 within the desired number of days (8 days) within the energy saving period (December 1st to 31st). And one or more combinations are selected from the extracted candidates (step # b5). Then, the recommended implementation date is determined so that the implementation dates of the energy saving actions in the selected combination are at regular intervals, for example, December 6, 9, 12, etc. (step # b6).

  After determining the combination of energy saving action candidates and the recommended execution date of each energy saving action in the combination, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 has the same processing contents as processing steps # b31 and # b32, and the weather on the recommended execution date. Read the prediction data from the storage device 9, read the energy saving effect value and correction data for each energy saving action in the combination from the energy saving action DB (step # b7), and for the energy saving actions where the weather prediction data is different from the standard weather conditions of the energy saving action DB8 Then, the correction processing described above by the energy saving effect correction means 6 is performed (step # b8). Then, the output means 7 outputs the energy saving shortage value, the energy saving action candidates that can be achieved within the remaining days, the corrected energy saving effect value when the candidates are executed, and the remaining days, in a predetermined output format. The information is displayed and output to the operation terminal 21 via the computer network 11 (step # b9).

The processing contents when the consumer 20 inputs the energy saving action scheduled to be performed in this case will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  For example, when the consumer 20 inputs an input value such as 1500 yen for the energy saving effect target value for December 2003 and 8 days for the desired number of days from the operation terminal 21 (step # cC1), the input means 2 for performing the energy saving action The system 1 of the present invention calculates the consumer code of the consumer 20 from the consumer individual information, and stores the December energy saving target value and the desired number of days in the storage device 9 in association with the consumer code ( Step # c1). Similarly, when the consumer 20 continuously inputs, for example, the energy saving action scheduled to be performed from the operation terminal 21 such as “weekday bath hot water time is 21:00” (step # cC2), the input means 2 Accepts it, stores it in the storage device 9 (step # c2), and further inputs the energy saving action performed by the consumer 20, such as "Let's lower the bath temperature setting once" Then (step # cC3), the input means 2 accepts it and stores it in the storage device 9 (step # c3).

  After the input means 2 receives the input value from the consumer 20, the energy saving effect accumulating means 4 is executed from the start of the energy saving action period (December 1) to the present (December 5). Read the measurement data of the consumer 20 of the energy saving action such as “Let's lower the set hot water temperature of the bath once” from the storage device 9, “Further lower the set hot water temperature of the bath once” For energy conservation actions such as “Let ’s go”, read the weather forecast data on the implementation date from the storage device 9, read the energy saving effect value and correction data for the energy saving action from the energy saving action DB (step #c 41), and the weather forecast data is the standard of the energy saving action DB 8 For the energy saving action different from the weather condition, the above-described correction processing by the energy saving effect correcting means 6 is performed (step # c42). Next, the corrected energy saving effect value corrected by the energy saving effect correcting means 6 in processing step # c42 is accumulated to obtain a cumulative value, and the obtained value is associated with the consumer code and stored in the storage device 9 ( Step # c43).

  Next, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 reads the energy saving effect target value for December of the consumer 20 and the cumulative value of the energy saving effect value after correcting the energy saving action with the actual performance from the storage device 9, and saves the energy saving effect. An energy saving effect deficiency value obtained by subtracting the cumulative value from the target value is calculated (step # c5). Here, for example, in processing step # c4, when it is determined that there is no energy saving action that has been implemented, the cumulative value of the energy saving effect value of the consumer 20 is zero. Equivalent to the value.

  In addition, the energy saving action DB8 is used to save the energy saving effect deficiency calculated in process step # c5 within the desired number of days (8 days) within the energy saving period (December 1st to 31st). And one or a plurality of combinations are selected from the extracted candidates (step # c6. And, the implementation date of the energy saving action in the selected combination is, for example, December 6, 9, 12 The recommended implementation date is determined so as to be at regular intervals such as days (step # c7).

  After determining the combination of energy saving action candidates and the recommended execution date of each energy saving action in the combination, the energy saving realization method deriving means 5 has the same processing contents as processing steps # c41 and # c42, and the weather on the recommended execution date. Predictive data is read from the storage device 9, energy saving effect value and correction data for each energy saving action in combination is read from the energy saving action DB (step # c8), and the weather prediction data is different from the standard weather condition of the energy saving action DB8. Then, the correction processing described above by the energy saving effect correction means 6 is performed (step # C9). Then, the output means 7 outputs the energy saving shortage value, the energy saving action candidates that can be achieved within the remaining days, the corrected energy saving effect value when the candidates are executed, and the remaining days, in a predetermined output format. Is output to the operation terminal 21 via the computer network 11 (step # c10).

  In the third embodiment, since the actual performance determination for the energy saving action is not performed, it is not necessary to receive the measurement data from the energy measuring means 22 and store it in the storage device 9, and the equipment necessary for the transmission / reception of the measurement data becomes unnecessary. The configuration of the system of the present invention can be simplified.

When accepting, it is not necessary to accept both consumer individual information for individually identifying the consumers 20. The energy saving action registered in the energy saving action DB 8, the energy saving effect value related to the energy saving action, and information stored in the storage device 9 (energy saving effect target value, etc.) are the consumers in which the present system 1 is installed. For example, it is not necessary to associate the consumer 20 with a consumer code that can identify the consumer 20 individually.
<2> In the above embodiment, the energy consuming device includes a combined heat and power system that generates power and heat energy using city gas as an energy supply source. However, a plurality of energy sources may be used as energy sources to be subjected to energy saving actions. As a result, the energy consuming device may not include a plurality of energy sources.

Moreover, although commercial electric power and city gas were assumed as the energy type, the energy type is not limited to this.
<3> In the above embodiment, the dedicated user operation terminal is used for input / output operations from the energy consumer to the system of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a program that provides the same function May be realized by providing a remote control of an energy consuming device, a portable terminal, or a personal computer.

The input and output operations are not integrated, and each operation may be performed at the input terminal and the output terminal, respectively.
<4> In the above embodiment, the energy saving realization method deriving unit 5 displays and outputs the energy saving action and the recommended execution date on the operation terminal in order to achieve the energy saving effect insufficient value within the remaining days. The number of days required for each energy saving action may be displayed and output instead of the day.
<5> In the above-described embodiment, the consumer 20 inputs the desired number of days for performing the energy saving action from the operation terminal 21. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the desired scheduled date may be input.

For example, in the first embodiment, when the consumer 20 inputs an input value from the operation terminal 21 such as 1500 yen for the energy saving effect target value, December 7 and 10 days for the planned energy saving action date, the energy saving action guideline. The providing system performs the same processing as shown in processing steps # a1 to # a3 in FIG. 3, and further, in two days of the scheduled execution date (December 7th and 10th), processing step # a3 in FIG. Energy saving action candidates are extracted from the energy saving action DB 8 and one or more combinations are selected from the extracted candidates so that the energy saving effect deficiency value calculated by the same processing can be achieved. Then, regarding the energy saving action in the selected combination, the weather forecast data on the scheduled implementation date is read from the storage device 9, the energy saving effect value and the correction data for the energy saving action are read from the energy saving action DB, and the weather forecast data is the reference weather of the energy saving action DB8. Regarding the energy saving action different from the conditions, the energy saving effect correcting means 6 performs the correction processing described above. Then, after the correction process by the energy saving effect correcting unit 6 is completed, the output unit 7 outputs the energy saving action candidate on the scheduled execution date to the operation terminal 21 together with the corrected energy saving action effect value.
<6> In the above embodiment, the energy charge that is reduced when the consumer 20 performs the energy saving action is adopted as the energy saving effect value. However, instead of or in addition to this, the energy consumption reduction amount and the CO ₂ reduction are adopted. An amount may be used.
