Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling the power load of each house of an apartment house.

  In recent years, electricity has been reconsidered as a clean heat source free of indoor air pollution due to high airtightness and high insulation of houses, all-electric houses have increased due to the spread of hot water water heaters that use nighttime electricity, and further increased demand for power for air conditioning and heating. Initially, power consumption has been increasing year by year. Under such circumstances, the deregulation of power supply has been promoted, and the power supply business has been activated due to the liberalization of power, and the competition for power supply has been intensifying.

  In general homes, it has become common to have multiple electrical appliances such as multiple air conditioners. As a result, more air conditioners have been installed in apartments, and electrified kitchens have begun to spread. The danger of overloading has become apparent. As a means for avoiding overload, it is common to reinforce the power line, but it requires labor and a large amount of money to reinforce the existing trunk line.

  Therefore, as a method to prevent overloading of the trunk line, network electrical devices such as microwave ovens and air conditioners in each home that require relatively power to exceed the upper limit power supply capacity of the home, and before the breaker falls Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for reducing the amount used.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing the entire current control device of the apartment house 14 in the first embodiment. The electric power supplied from the outdoor lamp line through the high voltage electric wire of 6 kV is stepped down to 200V, 100V, or only 100V by the transformer 11, and is divided into main lines having a plurality of main line breakers 12 (hereinafter referred to as MCB). It is supplied to each door (A1-C3) by the branched branch light line. The main line current control indicator 13 (hereinafter referred to as IB controller) acquires the current value flowing through the MCB 12, stores the acquired current value in the memory, calculates the moving average value, and uses the algorithm described later for about one minute ahead. The current value of the trunk line is predicted, and a control command for each electric device with a door power control function is transmitted as a power line carrier signal.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration related to the current control device for each door in the first embodiment. Each door 20 measures a current of each door and transmits a current measurement transmitter 26 having a function of transmitting the current to the IB controller 13, a gateway 21 that converts the control command into an internal conversion function, a distribution board 22, and an energy saving voice. A generator 23 and a home appliance / residential equipment (housing equipment) 25 connected via a soft switch box 24 are provided. Further, the energy saving voice generator 23 displays a message and gives a warning by voice by a display and a speaker (not shown).

  Each door 20 measures the current value of each door 20 with a current measuring transmitter 26 provided on the branch lamp line, and preferably transmits it to the IB controller 13. By this process, the IB controller 13 can identify which branch power line is effective for transmitting the message with respect to the current value of the MCB 12. As shown in the embodiment, the control can be suitably performed even without the control.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the current control device in the first embodiment, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing transition of processing of the current control device in the first embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a condition for detecting a load rate variation of a current in the present embodiment by paying attention not only to an absolute value but also to a change rate. In the first embodiment, an algorithm combining a main line load factor% (DR) and a load change rate% / min (DIR) is realized. This will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 3, when the process starts, constants are set first (step S11). Here, the setting of the trunk line load factor% (DR) with respect to the interrupting rated current that shifts to the prediction calculation, the trunk voltage prediction load factor% (DE) for transmitting each control signal, the load change rate% / minute (DIR), and The relationship of control commands sent to each house is preset by a change rate multiplier (MDR).

  In FIG. 5, the vertical axis represents the load factor and the horizontal axis represents the time. The main line load factor% (DR) has changed greatly from 16:00 to 20:00 in the evening due to an increase in electric light load due to sunset and dinner time. Therefore, although the change rate multiplier (MDR) is normally set to “1”, it is set to “2” in the evening by a calendar and a timer (not shown), and “0” when DIR is negative. In addition, since the control command from the IB controller 13 is output as a message by the energy saving voice generator 23, the control command for the electric device will be described as a message type corresponding to the control command.

  When step S11 for setting the constant is completed, the MCB normal monitoring mode is set, the current flowing through the MCB 12 is measured (step S12), and stored in the memory of the IB controller 13. Next, the use current value of each house connected to each branch lamp line is received and stored in the memory of the IB controller 13 (step S13). The IB controller 13 obtains the value of the maximum current value (Imax) of each house for the past 5 minutes and stores it in the memory (step S14).

  Next, it is measured at intervals of 1 minute whether the main line load factor% (DR) is a high load of 80% or more (step S15).

  If the load is lower than 80% and the normal state can be determined as in the process transition shown in FIG. 4, an M0 message indicating “cancel energy-saving mode” is output to all units (step S16), and then the MCB normal monitoring is continued. I do.

  If it is detected that the load is 80% or higher, the load change rate% / min (calculated by the moving average process for 10 minutes) is calculated from the load factor calculated five minutes ago and the current load factor. DIR) is acquired (step S17). In this embodiment, the 10-minute moving average process is used to average short-cycle load fluctuations such as a dryer, but in addition to this, an arithmetic average such as an exponential average or a convolution calculation using a digital filter may be used. good.

Next, the trunk line voltage predicted load factor% (DE) is calculated by the following formula 1 from the above result.
DE = DR + DIR * DMR (Formula 1)
Based on the obtained trunk voltage predicted load factor% (DE), the current value of the trunk line that is several minutes to one minute ahead is predicted, and the message type is set (step S18).

The message type setting process will be described with reference to FIG. The upper diagram shows the message transition when the current rises, and the process of skipping the step when the current suddenly rises is indicated by a broken line. Further, the lower diagram shows the transition of the message when the current drops, and the process of continuing the same control until the normal state is similarly indicated by a broken line. In the message type setting (step S18) in FIG.
(1) When DR exceeds 80% (when the 0th rated current is exceeded), the normal state is shifted to the main line current prediction mode (warning mode: S17).
(2) When the predicted trunk line current DE increases and exceeds 85% (when the first rated current is exceeded), the M1 message “request for energy conservation cooperation” is output and the M1 mode is set.
(3) When DE further rises and exceeds 90% (when the second rated current is exceeded), the M2 message "Air conditioning temperature control execution" is output, and the set temperature of the air conditioner or the like is changed while the M2 mode is set.
(4) If DE still rises and exceeds 95% (when the third rated current is exceeded), the M3 message “target device OFF” is output to turn off the predetermined countermeasure device and switch to the M3 mode. .
(5) It should be noted that if the message transitions (2), (3), and (4) above have a steep increase in the trunk line current, they may be skipped to the upper mode without going through each stage.
(6) When the main current falls, if such control is maintained and the current becomes normal, an M0 message for canceling the current control is output, and the electrical equipment in each house is returned to the state before the control.

  Next, in step S19 of FIG. 3, when the same message and the transition of the message are M3 → M2, M3 → M1, M2 → M1, “null (blank)” is set in the message and “no message” ". Furthermore, if the maximum current value (Imax) for the past 5 minutes exceeds 50% of the contract current at each house, the message is received and controlled, and if it is less than 50%, the control message is ignored. The electric equipment is not controlled (step S20). Next, a correspondence message is transmitted to the selected door (step S21), the process returns to the beginning, and the repetition process is executed.

  In addition, the set value shown in the first embodiment is an example, and changes depending on the value of the current flowing through the trunk line of the housing complex, the branching state of the power line, the electrical equipment of each door to be a load, and the power consumption. It may be changed to four steps, three steps, or two steps.

  FIG. 6 is an in-door configuration diagram showing a configuration related to the current control device of each door 30 in the second embodiment. As for message transition and selection of a household to be controlled, there are a method for giving intelligence to the IB controller 13 and a method for giving intelligence to each door side. In the second embodiment, the gateway 31 selects a method. It is. The lamp transport signal transmitted by the IB controller 13 is received by the gateway 31 installed in each door 30 (A1 to C3), converted into a control command by an internal conversion function, and passed through the distribution board 32 in the door. Then, it is transmitted to the energy saving message generator 33 and the soft switch box 34. The energy saving message generator 33 utters a message regarding “energy saving” and “status” according to the control signal. The soft switch box 34 holds the operating state of the home appliance / household equipment 35. For example, in the case of an air conditioner, the soft switch box 34 outputs a control command to the air conditioner for normal operation, energy saving operation, set air conditioning temperature change and stop.

  FIG. 7 is an in-door configuration diagram showing the configuration of the current control device for each door in the third embodiment. A third embodiment will be described in which the indoor distribution board has a function of a peak cut distribution board instead of the soft switch box 34 in the second embodiment. The distribution board 32 includes branch breakers 38 and 39. The gateway 31 shuts off the branch breakers 38 and 39 according to a predetermined priority in accordance with a control command from the IB controller 13, and is connected to an air conditioner, home appliance, The power supply to the heat storage apparatus etc. which are the housing equipment 35 and 37 is interrupted | blocked, and the process which reduces peak electric power is performed. Further, the energy saving message generator 33 utters a message regarding “energy saving” and “status” according to the control signal, and calls attention by the message before the branch breakers 38 and 39 are shut off.
