Description

Power management system and power management method

The present invention relates to a power management system and a power management method.

A path and electrical equipment for supplying commercial power from a power supplier such as an electric power company to each consumer (personal house, building, factory, etc.) are called a power system. Conventionally, except for some large-scale customers, each customer uses only commercial power from the power system.

However, in recent years, the response to so-called low-carbon societies has been urgently required, and the spread of power sources with low impact on the natural environment, such as solar power generation, wind power generation, heat pumps, and fuel cells, is desired. Since these power sources are provided for each consumer, they are called distributed power sources for conventional large-scale power plants that are located away from the city (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2007-336796 A JP 2008-271777 A

When the spread rate of the distributed power source was low and the amount of power generation was relatively small, the distributed power source was used as an auxiliary to suppress the consumption of power supplied from the power system. On the other hand, in recent years, the penetration rate of distributed power sources has increased and the amount of power generation has also increased.

Therefore, for example, during the daytime hours, the power generated by each consumer is larger than the power consumed by each consumer, and surplus power may be generated. For example, in a residential area during the day, since a part of the family goes out, the power consumption of the house decreases. However, the photovoltaic power generator generates power regardless of the presence or absence of a resident. When the amount of power generated by the solar power generation device exceeds the power consumption of the house, surplus power is generated.

Surplus power can be sold to power suppliers. However, in general, a distributed power source that uses natural energy has a large amount of power generation. Therefore, in order for the power system to receive power from the distributed power source, it is necessary to improve or reinforce the substation equipment and the distribution network. This is because if the amount of power flowing from each distributed power source into the power system varies, the frequency of the power supplied from the power system to each consumer varies and the quality deteriorates.

Furthermore, in the conventional technology, the distributed power source is managed for each consumer, and it is difficult for one consumer to supply and consume surplus power to other consumers.

Thus, in the conventional technology, the power output from each distributed power source in the region cannot be used effectively, and the sale to the power system is also stopped within the allowable range of the existing facilities. That is, surplus power in the region is often wasted and is not effectively used.

On the other hand, in order to effectively use the power of each distributed power source in the region, it is necessary to grasp the configuration of the distribution network that connects each customer in the region and the power system. For example, a distribution network is indispensable in order to pass power from a house with a large amount of power generation to a house with a large amount of power consumption. However, since the configuration of the distribution network is important and confidential information, it is difficult to obtain and manage.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a power management system and a power management method that can reduce surplus power by predicting surplus power in a predetermined area. Another object of the present invention is to provide a power management system and a power management method capable of reducing surplus power in a predetermined area and estimating the configuration of a distribution network based on the location and map of consumers and facilities. It is to provide. Further objects of the invention will become clear from the description of the embodiments described later.

In order to solve the above problems, a power management system according to the present invention includes a first power management device provided for each predetermined area including a plurality of consumers, and a second power management device provided for each consumer. It is a management system, each 2nd power management apparatus monitors the electric power state in each consumer, transmits the 2nd management information which shows an electric power state to the 1st power management apparatus, and the 1st power management apparatus Based on the second management information, the total amount of power demand and the amount of power generation in the predetermined area are predicted, and the surplus power amount in the predetermined area is calculated from the difference between the total amount of power demand and the total amount of power generation. First management information including information for reducing the amount of power is created, and the first management information is transmitted to each second power management device.

Examples of “customers” include private houses (detached houses and apartment houses), various buildings, factories, and the like. A “customer” is a unit for managing power consumption and power generation. Therefore, a consumer can be called a power management unit.

“Predetermined area” means an area managed by the first power management apparatus. For example, an area where there are a plurality of consumers connected to the power system through a common electric wire can be defined as a predetermined area.

At least one first power management device is provided in a predetermined area. The second power management apparatus is provided for each consumer. The first power management apparatus transmits first management information including information for reducing surplus power to each second power management apparatus.

The “second management information” can include, for example, the power consumption and power generation amount of each consumer, the state of one or more electrical devices (electrical loads) possessed by each consumer, the time, and the like. Each second management information may be associated with a priority in advance. The first power management apparatus can process each second management information based on the priority.

The “first management information” includes, for example, information indicating the time zone and amount of surplus power generation, information obtained by converting surplus power into carbon dioxide emissions, and a predetermined amount for encouraging consumption of surplus power by each consumer. Information etc. can be included. The predetermined information includes, for example, information on points given by using surplus power, information indicating that surplus power is set at a lower price than normal electricity charges, and consumption of surplus power in the global environment. Information that shows a positive effect can be mentioned.

Each second power management apparatus may output the received first management information as it is or after processing it. For example, information that prompts consumption of surplus power may be output via a display device or an audio output device provided in a consumer.

The first power management device is based on customer location information indicating the location of each customer, facility location information indicating the location of the facility for supplying power to each customer, and information on a map including a predetermined area. Thus, it is possible to predict a power distribution network connecting the equipment and each consumer.

The first power management apparatus may be connected to a third apparatus that can provide information related to power to each consumer. The third device can set a monitoring condition for monitoring each second management information in the first power management device. The first power management apparatus monitors whether there is information that matches the monitoring condition among the second management information, and notifies the third apparatus when the second management information that matches the monitoring condition is found. be able to.

The present invention can be grasped as the first power management apparatus or the power management method. Furthermore, at least a part of the configuration of the present invention may be realized as a computer program or a hardware circuit. The computer program can be distributed, for example, via a communication medium such as the Internet, a recording medium such as a hard disk or a flash memory device. Furthermore, other combinations other than the combinations of the above viewpoints are also included in the scope of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, as will be described in detail below, the first power management device (CEMS 10) provided in the predetermined area communicates with the devices 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 on each customer side existing in the predetermined area. The power supply / demand balance in a predetermined area is predicted. The first power management device calculates surplus power from the prediction result of the supply and demand balance, and prompts each consumer to consume surplus power. Thereby, the electric power generated in the predetermined area can be preferentially consumed in the area, and so-called local production for local consumption is realized.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as will be described later, the configuration of the power distribution network in a predetermined area can be predicted based on the location information and map information of each customer and facility. Therefore, the electric power produced by a certain consumer can be supplied to other consumers in consideration of the connection state between each consumer. Thereby, the supply and demand of electric power in a predetermined area can be managed more finely.

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram schematically showing a relationship between a power management system and a power system for each area. The power system 1 is a system for supplying electric power generated at the power plants 2 and 3 to each consumer, and includes a power generation function, a power transformation function, a power transmission function, and a power distribution function. In the present embodiment, the power system 1 describes a case where AC power is supplied to each consumer. However, instead of a system that supplies AC power, a system that supplies DC power to each consumer may be used.

The central power supply 2 is a large-scale power plant such as a thermal power plant, a hydro power plant, or a nuclear power plant. The distributed power source 3 is, for example, a relatively large-scale wind power plant, solar power plant, solar thermal power plant, or the like. Since the distributed power source 3 belongs to the system side, it can be called a system side distributed power source. The distributed power supply 3 includes a relatively large-scale storage battery 3A. By storing the power generated by a wind power generator or the like in the storage battery 3A, the power can be used effectively.

The electric power generated by the centralized power supply 2 and the distributed power supply 3 is sent to the power transmission station 4 and boosted to a predetermined high voltage. The power transmission station 4 can also include a storage battery 4A. A part of the power from the centralized power supply 2 or the distributed power supply 3 can be stored in the storage battery 4A.

The power transmission station 4 is connected to each distribution substation 5 (1), 5 (2) via a power transmission network 6, and high-voltage AC power is supplied to each distribution substation 5 (1), 5 ( 2). The power transmission network 6 may include one or a plurality of substations, but is omitted in FIG.

The distribution substations 5 (1) and 5 (2) reduce the voltage value of the power from the power transmission station 4 and supply power of a predetermined voltage to each consumer. When not particularly distinguished, it is referred to as a distribution substation 5. Each distribution substation 5 supplies electric power to each consumer via a plurality of power supply lines 7.

1, one distribution substation 5 (1) includes a plurality of power supply lines 7 (1a) and 7 (1n). The other distribution substation 5 (2) includes a plurality of other power supply lines 7 (2a) and 7 (2n). When not particularly distinguished, it is referred to as a power supply line 7.

Each of these devices 20, 30, 40, 50 is managed by the CEMS 10. Each customer is given reference numerals 200, 300A, 300B, 400, and 500, as will be described later with reference to FIG.

Each power supply line 7 is provided for each predetermined area. For example, the power supply line 7 is provided so as to cover an area of a predetermined area. In the case where the area size of one power supply line 7 is the first size, the area size of the distribution substation 5 including the plurality of power supply lines 7 is larger than the first size. 2 sizes.

Since the CEMS 10 is provided for each power supply line 7, the first area having the first size can be referred to as a CEMS charge area, for example. The second area having the size of the second size that the distribution substation 5 is in charge of can be called, for example, the distribution substation charge area.

In the present embodiment, as will be described later, the power generated in the first region is consumed in the first region as much as possible by the CEMS 10. Furthermore, in this embodiment, power can be interchanged between the power supply lines 7 connected to the same distribution substation 5. Thereby, the electric power generated in the second area can be consumed in the second area. That is, the surplus power in one first region can be supplied to the other first region under the management of the common distribution substation 5. Thus, in this embodiment, renewable energy is efficiently consumed at a plurality of stages according to the size of the management area.

FIG. 2 schematically shows the main functional configuration of the CEMS 10. The physical configuration will be described later with reference to FIGS.

The EMS information control hub function 120 is called an EMS information control hub 120 in FIG.

The supply and demand adjustment function 110 predicts the amount of surplus power generated in the first region in charge of the CEMS 10 and creates information for reducing the surplus power. The supply and demand adjustment function 110 includes, for example, a function of predicting power demand and power supply in the first region, a function of managing actual values of power demand and power supply in the first region, and emission of carbon dioxide gas in the first region. A function for calculating the amount, a function for calculating an incentive for consumption of surplus power, and a function for presenting the calculated incentive to each consumer.

EMS information control hub function 120 processes and stores data collected from devices 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 on each customer side, and provides it to the outside as needed. The station 60 that performs local power generation and / or local power storage will be described later with reference to FIG.

The common adapter I / F 121 is an interface for bidirectional communication with the common adapter CA included in each customer- side device 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The role of the common adapter CA will be described later with reference to FIG.

Examples of the external supplier 90 include a manufacturer or a seller of various products used by each consumer, a weather forecaster that provides weather information, and a consultant company that provides advice on electric power.

The common data processing function 123 processes the data acquired from each customer side device 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, etc. as predefined common data. The common data management function 124 stores common data in the database group 125. The database group 125 stores various information related to the EMS in the first region.

The security function 126 ensures the reliability and safety of communication between the CEMS and each customer- side device 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and the like. The security function 126 authenticates a communication partner and encrypts communication contents.

FIG. 3 is an overall view showing a physical configuration of the power management system. The distribution network will be described first. A distribution substation 5 and a high-voltage substation 5H are connected to the power transmission network 6. For example, the distribution substation 5 converts AC power of tens of thousands of kilovolts into AC power of several thousand kilovolts and supplies the AC power to the power supply lines 7 (1) and 7 (2). The high voltage substation 5H generates AC power having a voltage higher than the output voltage of the distribution substation 5 and supplies the AC power to the high voltage power supply line 7H.

The CEMS 10 prevents intrusion from an external network, and an area in consideration of security is provided in the CEMS 10. In the safe area, for example, at least a part of a server and a database for realizing the supply and demand adjustment function 110, the EMS information control hub function 120, the power supplier side CEMS application 140 (see FIG. 10), and the like are provided.

The distribution automation AP server 1301, the distribution automation DB server 1302, the coordination DB server 1303, the master DB 1304, and the slave DB 1305 are configurations for realizing the distribution automation system 130 (see FIG. 10). “AP” is an abbreviation for application, and “DB” is an abbreviation for database.

The distribution automation AP server 1301 provides an application program for automatically controlling distribution. The distribution automation DB server 1302 manages a database for automatically controlling distribution. The cooperation DB server 1303 makes a database cooperate with another system (for example, an EMS information control hub).

The configuration information is information including the configuration of the distribution network, which is the configuration on the grid side, and the electrical configuration inside each customer. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, the configuration of the distribution network can be predicted based on the position of the customer, the position of the facility, and the map. However, if the distribution network information can be acquired from the power supplier, the distribution network information may be used. Here, the case where distribution network information is acquired from an electric power supplier is more suitable. This is because balance between supply and demand (supply and consumption) is better adjusted from the viewpoint of power transmission loss and / or reverse power flow, because it is preferable to adjust the balance between power distribution networks rather than whether the physical locations are close. .

The supply and demand information is information for managing the actual value of the power consumption and the actual value of the power generation amount for each consumer existing in the region, the power generation amount of the facility on the power system 1 related to the region, and the like.

Prediction information indicates the predicted value of power generation and power consumption for the entire region. The difference between the predicted power generation amount for the entire region and the predicted power consumption amount for the entire region is surplus power (predicted power generation−predicted power consumption = surplus power).

The plan information is information for managing a plan for reducing surplus power in the region. The configuration information, supply and demand information, prediction information, and plan information are copied from the master DB 1204 managed by the hub DB server 1203.

A distribution automation system (DMS: Distribution Management System) 130 manages power supply from the power system 1 to each consumer. For example, the distribution automation system 130 controls the voltage so that the voltage value of the electric power supplied to each consumer is within a certain range, or identifies the facility where the failure has occurred.

The distribution automation system 130 is connected to each circuit (shown as SW in FIG. 10) 71, 72, 73 on the power supply line 7 via the RTUs 710, 720 and the FTU 750. The distribution automation system 130 remotely monitors the status of each segment switch 71, voltage regulator 72, interconnection switch 73, etc. via the RTUs 710, 720, and the like. The power distribution automation system 130 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The management devices 20, 30, 40, 50, 50C, 60 on each customer side are connected to the CEMS 10 through the communication line 820. Further, each customer-side smart meter is connected to the MDMS 80 via a communication line 810. Although FIG. 10 shows that the HEMS 20 is connected to the MDMS 80, the smart meter 21 is actually connected to the MDMS 80. Similarly for other consumers, each smart meter is connected to the MDMS 80 via the communication line 810. The MDMS 80 is connected to the distribution automation system 130 and transmits information from each smart meter to the distribution automation system 130.

The communication line 810 can be attached to the smart meter of each consumer via the utility pole 74A, for example. Alternatively, the smart meter and the MDMS 80 may be connected using an underground communication cable or wireless communication.

The EV center 50C is a facility for managing a plurality of EVs 57. For example, users in the area can jointly use a plurality of EVs 57 managed by the EV center 50C.

The consumer-side CEMS application 110 predicts local power demand and power generation amount, calculates surplus power, and generates information for reducing surplus power, for example. The consumer side CEMS application 110 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The EMS information control hub 120 controls, for example, distribution of information (which can be referred to as EMS related information) managed by the CEMS 10. The EMS information control hub 120 can be connected to a server of an external vendor such as the service provider 90A or / and the application developer 90B. Further, the EMS information control hub 120 can be connected to the CEMS 10 that is responsible for other regions. The EMS information control hub 120 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The power supplier side CEMS application 140 manages, for example, facilities on the power system 1 side. The power supplier side CEMS application 140 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) application 150 is responsible for, for example, maintenance of each facility on the power system 1 side. The EAM application 150 will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 11 shows functions of the consumer side CEMS application 110. The consumer-side CEMS application 110 includes, for example, a supply and demand prediction function 111, a supply and demand balance prediction function 112, a carbon dioxide visualization function 113, an incentive calculation function 114, an incentive visualization function 115, a supply and demand performance management function 116, DB 117A-117G and a function 118 for linking supply and demand are provided.

The supply and demand prediction function 111 predicts the supply and demand of power in the next cycle based on the power supply and demand result managed by the supply and demand result function 116 and the weather information 117E. The prediction cycle is set to about 30 minutes, for example. The prediction result is stored in the prediction information DB 117C. Here, the power supply and demand indicates power demand and power supply. The electric power supply is electric power generated from each distributed power source 60, 24, 32, 42, 54A existing in the region.

The supply and demand balance prediction function 112 is a function that predicts the balance between the predicted power demand and the predicted power supply for each hour. In the time zone in which the predicted power demand and the predicted power supply coincide, the power supply and demand is balanced. In this case, since the electric power required by each consumer in the area is supplied from the distributed power supply in the area, it is not necessary to receive power supply from the power system 1.

余 Surplus power is generated in a time period when the predicted power supply is more than the predicted power demand. In this case, plan information for encouraging consumption of surplus power is distributed to each consumer in the area before the time zone when surplus power is generated.

Even if each consumer is encouraged to consume surplus power, the surplus power can be supplied to consumers in other regions via the distribution substation 5. Alternatively, in a time zone in which surplus power is generated, a configuration may be employed in which the distributed power source is disconnected from the power management system and is idled. The idling means that the power generated by the distributed power source is discarded without being used. Or it is good also as a structure which supplies surplus electric power to the other substation 5 for distribution, and supplies it to another distant area. That is, a configuration in which surplus power is allowed to flow backward to the power system 1 may be used.

The carbon dioxide visualization function 113 calculates and visualizes the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the area based on the power state of the area. Many of the distributed power sources in the region use renewable natural energy. Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the area is reduced in the time zone where a large amount of distributed power is consumed in the area. On the other hand, since the concentrated power source 2 consumes oil, coal, or the like, the amount of carbon dioxide emission in the region increases in a time zone in which much power from the power system 1 is consumed. The carbon dioxide visualization function 113 calculates the amount of carbon dioxide discharged in the area, graphs the value, and presents it to each consumer.

The incentive calculation function 114 calculates an incentive for each consumer in the area to actively consume surplus power generated in the area. Examples of incentives include giving points. More points are given to consumers who have consumed more surplus power during the specified time period. The points can be used, for example, as a right to use the EV 57 shared in the region, or can be used for the power purchased from the power system 1.

The incentive visualization function 115 creates plan information based on the calculated incentive. The plan information is information for encouraging consumption of surplus power in a time zone in which surplus power is expected to be generated. The created plan information is stored in the plan information 117D.

The supply and demand performance management function 116 manages the actual power demand and actual power supply values. The supply / demand data is stored in supply / demand information T117B.

The configuration information 117A stores information indicating the electrical configuration of each consumer and information indicating the configuration of the distribution network from the distribution substation 5 to the power receiving facility of each customer. The electrical configuration of each customer can be obtained from the customer when the customer subscribes to the power management service by the CEMS 10. The information indicating the electrical configuration of each consumer can include the type of electrical equipment used by each consumer and the power consumption of the electrical equipment.

The configuration of the distribution network may be obtained from the power supplier if the power supplier supplying power to the area permits it. Even in the case where the power supplier's permission cannot be obtained, in this embodiment, based on the location of each customer, the location of the facility on the power system 1 side, and the map including the region, the distribution network of that region Can be estimated.

The device model number information T117G stores information for identifying an electrical device used by each consumer.

The function 118 for linking supply and demand performs, for example, processing when an intentional power failure or an unintentional power failure occurs, processing for cutting a demand peak, and the like.

FIG. 12 shows the functions of the EMS information control hub 120. As described above, the EMS information control hub 120 controls the distribution of EMS related information. The EMS information control hub 120 is connected to each system 110, 130, 140, 150 in the CEMS 10. Furthermore, the EMS information control hub 120 is also connected to each customer's device 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, etc. existing outside the CEMS 10 and a server of an external supplier 90.

The EMS information control hub 120 includes a common adapter I / F 121, a common API 122, a common data processing function 123, a common data management function 124, a plurality of databases 125A-125G, a security function 126, and an inter-hub cooperation function 127. System monitoring and system operation function 128.

The common adapter I / F 121 is a communication interface for communicating with the common adapter CA included in the HEMS 20, BEMS 30, FEMS 40, and EV-EMS 50 as described above.

The common adapter I / F 121 establishes a connection with the common adapter CA such as each management device 20, 30, 40, 50, grasps the communication state, delivers a message, and manages the transaction. Further, the common adapter I / F 121 performs format conversion, conversion or translation of data items and data values, conversion of identification information (ID), and the like.

The common adapter CA is provided in the management device 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. on the consumer side, and communicates with the common adapter I / F 121. The common adapter CA acquires the actual value of the power supply and demand state of the customer from the management device, converts the actual value into data in a standard format negotiated with the CEMS 10, and transmits the data to the CEMS 10.

Furthermore, the common adapter CA receives the plan information from the CEMS 10 and transmits it to the management device. Further, the common adapter CA performs an authentication process for determining whether or not the communication destination is correct, an encryption process for encrypting data, a decryption process for decrypting encrypted data, and the like.

By using the common adapter CA and the common adapter I / F 121, communication between the CEMS 10 and each customer side is performed without being affected by the type of each consumer and the type of electrical equipment used by the consumer. And can easily cope with future function expansion.

The common API 122 provides a common API to the external contractor 90. Thereby, the external contractor 90 can provide a service to each consumer using at least a part of the EMS related information. By using the common API 122, an external contractor can develop an application or service with less man-hours.

The common data processing function 123 performs common data processing on various types of information collected from each customer via the common adapter I / F 121. Common data processing includes, for example, abnormal value monitoring processing. The common data processing function 123 checks the data received from the common adapter I / F 121 based on a preset condition, and outputs a warning if abnormal data is found.

That is, the common data processing function 123 monitors a large amount of time-series data flowing in at any time in real time, and quickly detects an event. A plurality of event conditions can be set and changed. The event condition can be set by an administrator of the CEMS 10, an external contractor 90, or a customer.

Events include, for example, when an abnormally large amount of power is consumed or when a large amount of power exceeding the normal value is generated. By monitoring the event with the common data processing function 123, it is possible to detect anomalies in the region (including failure of electrical equipment at the customer) at an early stage. Based on the detected event, for example, the occurrence of a fire can be prevented, or a crime at the EV center 50C can be detected. Therefore, it contributes not only to local power management but also to improving local safety.

The common data management function 124 provides a data model and a data processing function for aggregating a large amount of data collected from time to time from each consumer and holding it in a usable form. The common data management function 124 stores a large amount of collected data in a predetermined database 125A-125G and saves it. Here, the database is called “information”.

The equipment model number information T125A manages information for identifying the electrical equipment used by each consumer. Not only the model number but also identification information (ID) may be used. Any name can be used as long as it can identify each electric device, and the name is not particularly limited.

The configuration information T125B manages information related to the electrical configuration on the customer side and information related to the configuration of the local distribution network.

Supply and demand information (customer) 125C manages supply and demand information (information indicating power demand and power supply) acquired from each customer.

The prediction information 125D manages the result of predicting the power demand and power supply in the area for each time zone. For the prediction of power demand and power supply, for example, actual values, weather, effectiveness of incentives, configuration changes on the customer side, and the like can be considered.

The weather information 125E manages the past weather and future forecast of the area. Information about the weather can be obtained from a weather forecaster or the like.

Graphic information (customer) 125F manages the position of each consumer in the area.

The service information 125M manages the contents of services provided to each consumer.

The facility information 125L manages information related to facilities (transformers, storage batteries, generators, etc.) on the power system 1 side.

Supply / demand information (facility) 125K manages power supply / demand information related to facilities on the power system 1 side.

The plan information 125J manages plan information D20 (see FIG. 20) including an incentive for consuming surplus power.

The map information 125H manages an area map. A two-dimensional map or a three-dimensional map may be used. Furthermore, relevant information such as traffic volume may be included.

The graphic information (facility) 125G manages the position of the facility on the power system 1 side.

Since a large amount of time-series data is generated every day, a large amount of storage device is required if it is stored in the same format. Therefore, as will be described later, data within a predetermined period may be stored as time-series data, and data after the predetermined period has elapsed may be compressed and stored.

The security function 126 is a function for ensuring the safety of data (information) handled by the CEMS 10. The power supply / demand information and the like handled by the CEMS 10 is important information related to the privacy, personal information, and property of consumers. Therefore, it must be prevented from being leaked or tampered with by a third party without a legitimate authority.

Therefore, the security function 126 performs data encryption and decryption, authentication of the communication partner, and the like.

The inter-hub cooperation function 127 is a function for cooperation with other CEMS 10. Each CEMS 10 can exchange information via the inter-hub cooperation function 127. Based on the information exchange, surplus power can be interchanged between the CEMSs 10.

The system monitoring and system operation function 128 is a function for adding a database or creating a database backup, for example.

The power distribution automation system 130 includes, for example, an online power distribution application 131, an offline power distribution application 132, a basic SCADA function 133, a communication interface 134, and each database 135A-135E.

The online power distribution application 131 includes, for example, a function 1311 for performing an accident recovery operation, a function 1312 for controlling the voltage of the power distribution network to a predetermined voltage, and a function 1313 for calculating a power flow. The tidal current calculation function 1313 includes a so-called reverse power flow analysis in which power generated on the consumer side flows into the grid.

The offline power distribution application 132 includes, for example, an equipment plan on the power system 1 side, an optimal operation plan for the system, a connection analysis of distributed power sources, a training simulator, and the like.

The basic SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) function 133 monitors, for example, the status of the facilities and power supply lines of the power system 1.

The communication interface 134, for example, communicates with each device 71, 72, 73 provided on the power supply line 7 via the RTU and the like, and communicates with the smart meters 21, 31, 41, 51 of each consumer. And an interface for communicating with the EMS information control hub 120.

The long cycle prediction function 144 predicts the amount of power generated by each distributed power source in the region, the power demand, the amount of interconnection between systems, etc. in a long cycle (for example, in units of several hours).

The operation status monitoring function 145 manages the operation and monitors the operation status. The control linkage function 146 is used when directly controlling the electrical equipment of each consumer. The data linkage function 147 is a function for linking data between the distribution automation system 130 and the EMS information control hub 120. Data is stored and updated in the databases 148A to 148E by the data linkage.

The configuration information 148A manages the configuration on the customer side and the configuration on the power system 1 side (distribution network, etc.). The supply and demand information 148B manages the supply and demand information (actual value) of local power. The prediction information 148C manages the predicted value of supply and demand of local power. The plan information 148D manages plan information. The TM / SV information 148E manages TM data and SV data.

The function 149 that links supply and demand includes, for example, a function 1491 that stabilizes the system voltage, a function 1492 that cuts the peak of demand, and a function 1493 that optimizes the operation plan.

FIG. 15 shows the functions of the EAM application 150. The EAM application 150 includes, for example, a maintenance function 151, a design and construction function 152, a planning function 153, and databases 154A to 154E.

The maintenance function 151 creates, for example, a plan for inspecting consumer electrical equipment. The design and construction function 152 creates a design and construction plan, for example. The planning function 153 is a function that manages, for example, the progress of the planning, or manages the sections to be preferentially constructed.

The maintenance performance information 154C manages the maintenance work results. The construction plan information 154D manages information related to the construction plan. The construction performance information 154E manages information related to construction performance.

FIG. 16 shows functions of the common API 122. For example, the supply / demand information (actual value) of the power of each consumer is stored in the supply / demand performance information 125C in association with the common data item and the unique item for each service. The unique item data for each service is encrypted.

The common API 122 sparses a plurality of output protocols 1221, a plurality of output formats 1222, and a plurality of output data conditions 1223, for example. The common API 122 holds a condition 1223 for outputting data for each service provided by the external contractor 90. The common API 122 converts data matching the conditions into data of a predetermined format, and outputs the data to the external vendor 90 using a predetermined protocol.

Examples of output protocols include HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Data output formats include, for example, XML (Extensible Markup Language), CSV (Comma-Separated Values), PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) serialization, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), and the like.

The common API 122 provides data related to the service only to the provider providing the service (application). The external contractor 90 can acquire only the data related to the service provided by itself from the CEMS 10 via the common API 122 and cannot acquire the data related to the service provided by another person.

FIG. 17 shows processing for predicting the configuration of the local distribution network. For example, the CEMS 10 acquires the map information 125H, the position information 125F of each customer, and the position information 125G of each facility, and collates those information (S10). For example, the CEMS 10 maps the position of each consumer and equipment on a map, and calculates the distance between each element (customer and equipment).

The CEMS 10 estimates that, for example, the customer is receiving power from the nearest pole transformer, and the physically close customers are receiving power from a common facility. Thereby, the CEMS 10 can estimate the configuration of the local distribution network (S11).

The CEMS 10 stores the estimated distribution network configuration in the configuration information 125B as the distribution network information 125B1. The configuration information 125B also stores device connection information 125B2 indicating the electrical connection configuration at each consumer. The device connection information 125B2 is acquired from each customer based on a contract between the manager of the CEMS 10 and each customer.
FIG. 35 shows a specific example of distribution network information. As shown here, the distribution network information is managed by dividing each device known by the CEMS 10 into a plurality of subcommunities. This sub-community is a collection of devices in units of one or more facilities. For example, a plurality of devices connected below one pole transformer constitute one sub-community.

Note that, if accurate distribution network information can be acquired from the power system 1 side, the distribution network information may be used.

FIG. 18 shows a state in which information for consuming surplus power is generated by predicting local power demand and power supply. The processing in FIG. 18 is executed by the supply and demand adjustment function (customer side CEMS application) 110.

The demand / supply prediction function 111 predicts the power supply / demand in units of 30 minutes, for example, based on the actual value of power supply / demand and the weather forecast. Assuming that the period for acquiring supply and demand information from each customer is 3 minutes, the prediction period is set to 10 times that.

The supply and demand balance prediction function 112 compares the predicted value of power supply with the predicted value of power demand for each time period, and predicts whether the demand and supply balance. A graph G10 is a supply prediction graph showing a change in power supply for each time period. The graph G11 is a demand prediction graph showing changes in power demand for each time zone. G12 is a graph showing the difference between the prediction of power supply (G10) and the prediction of power demand (G11). When the power supply exceeds the power demand, surplus power SP is generated.

The carbon dioxide visualization function 113 predicts a temporal change in the amount of carbon dioxide discharged in the region based on the prediction result of the power supply / demand balance. A graph G13 is a carbon dioxide emission graph showing changes in the amount of carbon dioxide emission for each time period.

The incentive calculation function 114 calculates an incentive for consuming surplus power SP. If each consumer operates an electric device during the time when surplus power is generated, the surplus power can be used effectively. For example, if surplus power can be used for a water heater, a regenerator, a storage battery, etc., the power demand of those devices will be shifted as a result, and surplus power can be reduced.

Therefore, the incentive calculation function 114 calculates an incentive for encouraging each consumer to consume surplus power. The incentive calculation function 114 devises an incentive such as “if the heat pump water heater is operated for 2 hours using surplus power, 10 points are given”.

The incentive visualization function 115 causes each customer to transmit plan information including an incentive. When each consumer consumes surplus power according to the plan information, as shown in the graph G14, the surplus power SPa is lower than the predicted value SP (SPa <SP). Since a predetermined electrical device is used in a time zone in which surplus power is generated, the power demand in a time zone in which the electrical device is normally used decreases. The decrease in power demand is indicated as PP1 and PP2 in the graph G14.

The incentive visualization function 115 includes a prediction graph G14 when each local consumer acts according to the plan information in the plan information, together with the plan information, or separately from the plan information. It can be sent and displayed on a monitor display. By presenting the prediction result to each consumer, the motivation for the consumer to act according to the plan information can be enhanced.

FIG. 19 shows power supply and demand information D10 transmitted from each consumer to the CEMS 10. Supply / demand information D <b> 10 is created from each consumer for each device that the consumer has, and is transmitted to CEMS 10.

The supply and demand information D10 includes, for example, a customer ID C10, a device ID C11, a power consumption / power generation amount C12, a time C13, an operation C14, and a state C15. Items other than these may be included.

The customer ID C10 is information for identifying each customer. The device ID C11 is information for identifying each electric device (PV, battery, home appliance, etc.). The power consumption / power generation amount C12 is information indicating the amount of power consumed by the device specified by C11, or information indicating the amount of power generated from the device specified by C11.

The time C13 is information indicating the time when the supply and demand information D10 is created. The operation C14 is information related to the operation of the device such as “operated on”, “operated off”, and “the set temperature has been changed to 18 degrees”. The state C15 is information indicating the state of the device such as “power generation”, “power consumption”, “charging”, “maintenance”, and the like.

FIG. 20 shows plan information D20 distributed from the CEMS 10 to each consumer. The plan information D20 is created for each customer and transmitted to each customer. The plan information D20 includes, for example, customer ID C20, time zone C21, point C22, upper limit value C23 of total power consumption, lower limit value C24 of total power consumption, device ID C25, and upper limit value of power consumption. C26 and the lower limit C27 of power consumption are included. Items other than these may be provided.

Customer ID C20 is information for identifying each customer. The time zone C21 indicates a time zone in which incentives are applied, that is, a time zone in which surplus power is generated in the region. Point C22 is information indicating the contents of the incentive.

The upper limit value C23 of the total power consumption is information indicating the upper limit value of surplus power that can be consumed by the consumer. In this embodiment, an upper limit value is set for each consumer so that surplus power generated in the area can be used fairly by each consumer in the area.

The lower limit C24 of the total power consumption is information indicating the lower limit of surplus power that should be consumed by the consumer. In this embodiment, the amount of surplus power that each consumer should consume is presented. The lower limit value is an effort target value, and no special inconvenience occurs even if it cannot be achieved. However, a configuration in which some penalty is given to a customer who has not used the surplus power more than the lower limit value may be adopted.

Device ID C25 is information for identifying a device owned by a consumer. The upper limit C26 of power consumption indicates the upper limit of surplus power that can be used by the device. The lower limit value C27 of power consumption indicates the lower limit value of surplus power that should be consumed by the device.

In this embodiment, surplus power allocated to a consumer is reassigned for each device that the consumer has. That is, when the upper limit value C26 of power consumption allocated to each device of the consumer is summed, the upper limit value C23 of total power consumption is obtained. Similarly, when the lower limit value C27 of the power consumption of each device is summed, the lower limit value C24 of the total power consumption is obtained.

In the example of FIG. 20, only one device ID is shown, but in reality, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of power consumption for each device (device to be managed by CEMS) possessed by the customer identified by the customer ID. Is set.

FIG. 21 shows carbon dioxide information D30. Carbon dioxide information D30 may be configured to be included in plan information D20, or may be configured separately from plan information D20 and transmitted to each consumer.

The carbon dioxide information D30 includes, for example, the consumer ID C30, the amount of carbon dioxide C31 generated in the region, the amount of carbon dioxide C32 generated by the consumer, and the carbon dioxide for each device of the consumer. Generation amount C33.

In this embodiment, as described above, the power state of each device to be managed by the CEMS 10 is managed by the power measurement unit or the smart meter. Therefore, the power consumption or power generation amount of each device can be measured. Thereby, in a present Example, the carbon dioxide emission amount of a device unit can be calculated based on the measured information.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of the CEMS 10. As described above, the CEMS 10 acquires supply and demand information D10 from each customer's device 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. (S20), and determines whether or not the acquired supply and demand information D10 is abnormal (S21). When abnormality is discovered, CEMS10 transmits a warning to the consumer and makes it output on the monitor display etc. which were provided in the consumer. Further, when CEMS 10 determines that it is necessary, for example, a warning is sent to the police station, fire department, hospital, school, workplace, pre-designated individuals, etc. using means such as e-mail or telephone. You can also

The CEMS 10 stores the supply and demand information D10 (S22), and then evaluates the achievement status of the plan information D20 (S23). That is, the CEMS 10 evaluates how much each customer follows the previous plan information. For example, each customer can be ranked according to the achievement status of the plan information D20. High-ranking consumers are likely to follow the plan information D20, and low-ranking consumers are less likely to follow the plan information D20.

The CEMS 10 predicts the power supply / demand state in the next cycle (for example, after 30 minutes) based on the actual value of supply and demand information, the weather forecast, the rank of each customer, and the like (S24). Further, the CEMS 10 predicts whether the demand and supply of power are balanced based on the prediction result of power supply and demand (S25).

The CEMS 10 calculates the amount of carbon dioxide generated in the region based on the balance prediction of power supply and demand (S26). In S26, the amount of carbon dioxide at each consumer and the amount of carbon dioxide for each device can also be calculated.

The CEMS 10 calculates an incentive for encouraging consumption of surplus power, creates plan information D20 (S27), and transmits the plan information D20 to the management devices 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. on each customer side. (S28).

FIG. 23 shows the operation of the management device on the customer side. Each management device 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. on the customer side is referred to as HEMS 20, etc. The HEMS 20 or the like monitors whether the transmission time has arrived (S30). The HEMS 20 and the like are set in advance so as to transmit supply and demand information D10 to the CEMS 10 with a period of about 3 minutes, for example.

When a predetermined transmission time arrives (S30: YES), the HEMS 20 and the like create supply and demand information D10 (S31). The HEMS 20 or the like accesses the CEMS 10 (S32), and transmits supply and demand information D10 to the CEMS 10 (S33). When the HEMS 20 or the like accesses the CEMS 10, a predetermined authentication process is performed. Further, the encrypted supply and demand information D10 is transmitted from the HEMS 20 or the like to the CEMS 10.

FIG. 24 schematically shows how the common adapter I / F 121 processes supply and demand information according to priority. The common adapter I / F 121 includes a data conversion function 1211 and a message distribution function 1212, for example.

The data conversion function 1211 converts the supply and demand information D10 into standard format data using the conversion table T1211 and delivers it to the common data processing function 123.

The message distribution function 1212 uses the priority management table T1212 to distribute the supply and demand information D10 received from each common adapter CA according to the priority. The message distribution function 1212 registers high-priority supply / demand information D10 in the priority processing queue, and registers other supply / demand information D10 in the normal processing queue. In the example shown in FIG. 24, a high priority is set in the supply and demand information D10 (4) transmitted from the local power generation / storage battery 60, and it is processed preferentially.

FIG. 25 shows a table T1212 (1) for managing the priority for each device. The priority management table T1212 (1) for each device includes, for example, a device type 12121C1, a priority 12121C2, and a processing cycle 12121C3.

The device type 12121C1 indicates the type of each device. As the priority 12121C2, the priority of the device is set. For example, the priority may be set with two values, “high” and “low”, or may be set more finely. In the processing cycle 12121C3, a cycle for processing the supply and demand information D10 of the device is set. Supply / demand information D10 having a high priority is processed in a short cycle, and supply / demand information D10 having a low priority is processed in a long cycle. That is, the supply / demand information D10 having a high priority is connected to the priority processing queue and processed promptly, and the supply / demand information D10 having a low priority is connected to the normal processing queue and processed.

∙ Higher power consumption can be set to have higher priority. Furthermore, it is possible to set so that the priority of a device that generates power or a device that stores electricity is higher than that of a device that consumes power. Alternatively, higher priority can be set for devices that require real-time monitoring, such as large storage batteries.

The device type 12121C1 is associated with the device type management table T1212 (2). The device type management table T1212 (2) includes, for example, a device ID 12122C1 and a device type 12122C2.

The message distribution function 1212 determines the device type corresponding to the supply / demand information D10 by referring to the device type management table T1212 (2) based on the device ID C11 (see FIG. 19) of the supply / demand information D10. The message distribution function 1212 refers to the priority management table T1212 (1) based on the determined device type to know the priority and period set for the device.

FIG. 26 shows a table T1212 (3) for managing the priority for each customer. The priority management table T1212 (3) includes, for example, a customer type 12123C1, a priority 12123C2, and a processing cycle 12123C3.

The customer type 12123C1 indicates the type of each customer. For convenience, in FIG. 26, the types of customers are shown as HEMS, BEMS, and FEMS. HEMS indicates a house, BEMS indicates a building or apartment house, and FEMS indicates a factory. A consumer with a large amount of power consumption or power generation is set to a higher priority.

The customer type 12123C1 is associated with the customer type management table T1212 (4). The customer type management table T1212 (4) includes, for example, a customer ID 12124C1 and a customer type 12124C2.

The message distribution function 1212 refers to the device type management table T1212 (4) based on the customer ID C10 (see FIG. 19) of the supply / demand information D10, and determines the consumer type corresponding to the supply / demand information D10. . The message distribution function 1212 refers to the priority management table T1212 (3) based on the determined consumer type to know the priority and period set for the consumer.

In this embodiment, either the configuration for changing the speed of information processing based on the priority for each device (FIG. 25) or the configuration for changing the speed of information processing based on the priority for each consumer (FIG. 26). Can also be performed. Or it is good also as a structure which controls the speed of information processing combining the priority for every apparatus, and the priority for every consumer. In that case, the supply and demand information related to the device having a high priority among the supply and demand information D10 transmitted from the high priority consumer is processed earliest. On the other hand, among the supply and demand information D10 transmitted from the low-priority consumer, the supply-demand information related to the device having the low priority is processed the latest.

FIG. 27 shows the monitoring function that the common data processing function 123 has. The external contractor 90 (90A, 90B) such as a service provider can set the monitoring conditions 1231A, 1231B in the common data processing function 123 via the common API 122.

The common data processing function 123 monitors whether or not the supply and demand information D10 corresponding to the monitoring conditions 1231A and 1231B is present in the supply and demand information D10 flowing from the common adapter CA via the common adapter I / F 121.

For example, when the supply and demand information D10 (2) that matches the monitoring condition 1231A is detected, the common data processing function 123 uses the supply and demand information D10 (2) as it is or performs the processing 1231C to the outside contractor 90. hand over. The delivery destination external trader 90 is a trader for which the monitoring condition 1231A is set. A configuration may be employed in which the outside contractor who sets the monitoring conditions is different from the outside contractor who receives the notification regarding the supply and demand information that matches the monitoring conditions.

Furthermore, the common data processing function 123 can notify the customer who is the transmission source of the supply and demand information that matches the monitoring condition that the monitoring condition is met.

FIG. 28 shows an access control process by the common data management function 124. The external supplier 90 can use at least a part of the supply and demand information in the supply and demand performance information 125 </ b> C via the common API 122. However, since supply and demand information is important information related to the privacy of each consumer, transmission to the external supplier 90 needs to be performed carefully.

Therefore, the common data management function 124 is provided with an access control function 1241 and an access authority management table T1241. The access authority management table T1241 manages, for example, information for identifying the external contractor 90 and information content permitted to the external contractor 90 in association with each other.

As the information content permitted to the external contractor 90, for example, the range of consumers from which the external contractor 90 can acquire information (list of permitted customer IDs or permitted consumer types) and information are acquired. A range of possible devices (list of allowed device IDs or allowed device types) can be mentioned.

The access control function 1241 determines whether or not transmission of information is permitted by referring to the access authority management table T1241 when the server of the external company 90 requests acquisition of information via the common API 122. When permitted, for example, information requested by the external company 90 among the information stored in the supply and demand result information 125 </ b> C is transmitted to the server of the external company 90 via the common API 122. If not permitted, the common data management function 124 notifies the server of the external vendor 90 of the error.

FIG. 29 shows processing when the HEMS 20 or the like receives information from the CEMS 10. When the HEMS 20 or the like receives the plan information D20 from the CEMS 10 (S40: YES), the contents of the information are displayed on the monitor display (S41).

For example, the monitor display displays a time zone in which surplus power is generated, a recommended consumption of surplus power (a lower limit value of total power consumption), points, and the like (S41). An example of the display screen will be described later.

The energy manager of the customer can make a reservation for the operation of the device, inspired by the incentive displayed on the monitor display (S42).

The HEMS 20 or the like can also call attention to the energy manager when a time zone in which the incentive is valid comes or only a predetermined time before the time zone in which the incentive is valid (S43). The HEMS 20 or the like, for example, displays a message such as “The time when surplus power can be used at a reasonable price is approaching” on the monitor display, outputs a voice, or the registered e-mail address of the energy manager. Or send.

FIG. 30 is a screen G20 showing the power supply / demand situation that the HEMS 20 or the like displays on the monitor display. The screen G20 showing the power supply and demand situation includes, for example, a region GP21 for displaying various data in a graph, a region GP22 for displaying various data in numerical values or characters, and a region GP23 for displaying points.

On the screen G20, for example, prediction of power demand in the region, prediction of power supply in the region, prediction of surplus power generated in the region, prediction of power demand in the customer, and The prediction of power supply and the prediction of surplus power at the customer can be displayed. Furthermore, it is possible to display actual values of power demand and power supply, power charges, and the like of regions and consumers on the screen G20.

FIG. 31 shows a screen G30 displaying the amount of carbon dioxide emission. The screen G30 can include a region GP31 indicating the amount of carbon dioxide emission in the entire region and a region GP32 indicating the amount of carbon dioxide emission in the consumer.

FIG. 32 shows a screen G40 that displays an incentive. The screen G40 includes a plurality of areas GP41-GP45.

A region GP41 indicates a change in surplus power when the plan information D20 is achieved. The area GP42 displays a message prompting the use of surplus power. A region GP43 shows an upper limit value and a lower limit value of surplus power. A region GP44 indicates a method for consuming surplus power for each device. A region GP45 indicates a device (such as PV) whose operation should be stopped in a time zone where surplus power is generated.

FIG. 33 shows another example of a screen displayed on the customer side. The information display screen G50 includes, for example, a date column GP51, an incentive information column GP52, and an incentive performance column GP53.

The incentive information column GP52 includes, for example, a target GP521 to which an incentive is given, a content GP522 of the incentive, and a time GP523 to which the incentive is given.

FIG. 33 shows that 1 point is awarded for every 1 kWh when a water heater is used in the time zone from 12:00 to 14:00. Furthermore, it is shown that when the air conditioner is stopped in the time zone from 12:00 to 14:00, 1 point is awarded every time the power consumption of 1 kWh is saved.

The incentive achievement column GP53 includes, for example, the incentive use achievement GP531 and the achievement GP532 of the given points. FIG. 33 shows that 2 points are given because the water heater uses 2 kWh of surplus power. Furthermore, it is shown that 2 points were given because the air conditioner was stopped. In this way, contents that contribute to the consumption of surplus power are collected and managed every day.

FIG. 34 shows how the supply and demand information is compressed and managed. As shown in FIG. 34 (a), the supply and demand information is acquired from each consumer at a short cycle of, for example, about 3 minutes. Accordingly, the amount of supply and demand information stored in the CEMS 10 increases day by day.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), the low frequency component of the supply and demand information is extracted and converted into data indicating a trend. In short, an envelope of a value indicated by supply and demand information every 3 minutes is detected, and data indicating an overall trend is stored in the CEMS 10. Note that recent supply and demand information can be stored as it is, and converted into trend data and stored when a predetermined time has elapsed.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned above. A person skilled in the art can make various additions and changes within the scope of the present invention.
