The electric power supply business operator is, for example, a power transmission and distribution business operator or a retail electric power business operator, and supplies electric power to each facility 5 of the consumer. Further, the power supply server 2 is connected to the aggregator server 10 by a communication network such as an Internet line or a dedicated communication line.
　アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ＤＲにおいて電力供給事業者と需要家とを仲介する事業者であるアグリゲータ（エネルギー管理事業者）が所有するサーバである。アグリゲータサーバ１０は、電力会社から供給される電力の使用を調整する。アグリゲータは、需要家とＤＲの契約を結び、例えば、電力消費のピーク時に需要家に電力消費を抑制させる。 The aggregator server 10 is a server owned by an aggregator (energy management operator), which is an operator that mediates between an electric power supply operator and a consumer in DR. The aggregator server 10 regulates the use of power supplied by the power company. Aggregators enter into DR contracts with consumers, for example, to force consumers to curb power consumption during peak power consumption.
　各施設５には、電力供給サーバ２または配電事業者が所有する配電網３００（電力線３１０）を通じて電力が供給される。また、各施設５はインターネット４００（信号線４１０）を通じてアグリゲータサーバ１０と接続されている。各施設５は、例えば、学校、オフィス、集合住宅、工場、商業施設である。施設５の空間領域６は、建物の壁またはパーテーションに囲まれた空間を有する領域であり、施設５に設けられた各種の部屋および通路などを含む。例えば施設５が学校である場合、各空間領域６は、講義室、実験室、セミナー室、イベントホール、ロビーまたは廊下などである。例えば施設５が工場である場合、各空間領域６は、業務フロア、研修室、製品製造室、来客室、玄関フロアまたは移動通路などである。 Power is supplied to each facility 5 through the power supply server 2 or the power distribution network 300 (power line 310) owned by the power distribution company.

The electric device 7 is, for example, an air conditioner or a lighting device. When the electric device 7 is an air conditioner, the aggregator server 10 controls the temperature or humidity of the space region 6 by using the air conditioner. When the electric device 7 is a lighting device, the aggregator server 10 uses the lighting device to dimming and control the illuminance of the space region 6.
　検出装置ｄ２は、例えばスマートメータであり、電気機器７で消費された電力使用量を測定する。検出装置ｄ２は、空間領域６に設けられたルータ４およびインターネット４００を介してアグリゲータサーバ１０に接続され、電力使用量、時間帯、空間領域６の識別番号などを含む情報をアグリゲータサーバ１０に送信する。 The detection device d2 is, for example, a smart meter, and measures the amount of power consumption consumed by the electric device 7.

To do.
　検出装置ｄ１は、電力の使用の調整に協力する人（以下、ユーザと呼ぶ）に関するユーザ情報を検出する装置である。検出装置ｄ１は、例えば、カメラを有する画像検出装置、マイクを有する音声検出装置、および、スマートウォッチなどの生体情報検出装置である。画像検出装置および音声検出装置は、空間領域６の天井または壁に設置され、ユーザの言動を検出する。生体情報検出装置は、ユーザに取り付けられ、ユーザの体温、血圧、心拍などの情報を検出する。検出装置ｄ１は、ルータ４およびインターネット４００を介してアグリゲータサーバ１０に接続され、ユーザ情報をアグリゲータサーバ１０に送信する。ユーザ情報については後で詳しく述べる。 The detection device d1 is a device that detects user information about a person (hereinafter referred to as a user) who cooperates in adjusting the use of electric power. The detection device d1 is, for example, an image detection device having a camera, a voice detection device having a microphone, and a biometric information detection device such as a smart watch. The image detection device and the voice detection device are installed on the ceiling or wall of the space area 6 to detect the user's behavior. The biological information detection device is attached to the user and detects information such as the user's body temperature, blood pressure, and heartbeat. The detection device d1 is connected to the aggregator server 10 via the router 4 and the Internet 400, and transmits user information to the aggregator server 10. User information will be described in detail later.
　通信端末８および通信端末９は、需要家またはユーザの操作入力を受け付けたり、需要家またはユーザにＤＲに関する情報を通知したりする装置である。通信端末８は、スマートフォン、スマートウォッチ、タブレット端末、ＰＣ（パーソナルコンピュータ）等の端末であり、電力の使用の調整に協力する各ユーザに所持される。通信端末９は、タブレット端末、スマートフォン、ＰＣ等の端末、または、タッチパネル付の壁スイッチであり、各空間領域６の内部または各空間領域６の入口に設けられる。通信端末８および９には、ユーザＩＤなどのユーザ情報が入力され、表示され、および保存されている。通信端末８および９は、ルータ４およびインターネット４００を介してアグリゲータサーバ１０に接続される。 The communication terminal 8 and the communication terminal 9 are devices that accept operation input of the consumer or user and notify the consumer or user of information related to DR. The communication terminal 8 is a terminal such as a smartphone, a smart watch, a tablet terminal, or a PC (personal computer), and is possessed by each user who cooperates in adjusting the use of electric power. The communication terminal 9 is a terminal such as a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or a PC, or a wall switch with a touch panel, and is provided inside each space area 6 or at an entrance of each space area 6.

The communication terminals 8 and 9 are connected to the aggregator server 10 via the router 4 and the Internet 400.
　上記のような管理システム１においては、まず、電力供給サーバ２が、電力系統の需給の状況に基づいて電力需要の増減要求をアグリゲータサーバ１０に送信する。電力需要の増減要求とは、電力系統の安定化を図るため、需要家に対して電力使用量の増加または削減を求めることである。この増減要求を受信したアグリゲータサーバ１０は、インターネット４００を通じて各施設５に電力需要の増減要求を送信する。各施設５では、受信した増減要求に応じて電力使用量が調整される。この電力使用量の調整にユーザが協力することにより、例えばアグリゲータからユーザに対価ポイントなどのインセンティブが支払われる。 In the management system 1 as described above, the power supply server 2 first transmits a request for increase / decrease in power demand to the aggregator server 10 based on the supply and demand situation of the power system. The request for increase / decrease in power demand is to request consumers to increase or decrease the amount of power used in order to stabilize the power system. The aggregator server 10 that has received the increase / decrease request transmits the increase / decrease request for electric power demand to each facility 5 via the Internet 400. At each facility 5, the amount of electric power used is adjusted according to the received increase / decrease request. By cooperating with the user in adjusting the amount of electricity used, for example, the aggregator pays the user an incentive such as consideration points.

　環境制御部２３は、制御部２０にて決定した電力量に基づいて、空間領域６の電気機器７を制御する。これにより空間領域６が、所定の温度、湿度、照度となるように制御される。 The environmental control unit 23 controls the electric device 7 in the space area 6 based on the electric energy determined by the control unit 20. As a result, the space region 6 is controlled to have a predetermined temperature, humidity, and illuminance.
　情報取得部２２は、ユーザ情報および電力使用情報を取得する。ユーザ情報は、所定の空間領域６を所定の時間帯に利用した人に関する情報である。電力使用情報は、所定の空間領域６にて所定の時間帯に電力が使用されたことを示す情報である。ユーザ情報および電力使用情報は、後述する貢献度および対価ポイントを算出するために用いられる。 The information acquisition unit 22 acquires user information and power usage information. The user information is information about a person who has used the predetermined space area 6 in a predetermined time zone. The power usage information is information indicating that power has been used in a predetermined time zone in a predetermined space area 6. User information and power usage information are used to calculate contributions and consideration points, which will be described later.
　図４は、アグリゲータサーバ１０の情報取得部２２が取得するユーザ情報および電力使用情報を示す図である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing user information and power usage information acquired by the information acquisition unit 22 of the aggregator server 10.
　ユーザ情報は、例えば、ユーザＩＤなどを示す識別情報と、ユーザの職業、職場を示す属性情報と、ユーザの発言、行動を示す言動情報と、ユーザの体温、血圧、心拍などの生体情報と、空間領域６を利用するユーザの人数に関する情報とを含む。電力使用情報は、ＤＲが実行された空間領域６の識別番号と、ＤＲが実行された時間帯と、電力使用量とを含む。 The user information includes, for example, identification information indicating a user ID, attribute information indicating a user's occupation and workplace, behavioral information indicating a user's remarks and actions, and biological information such as a user's body temperature, blood pressure, and heartbeat. Includes information about the number of users who use the spatial area 6. The power usage information includes the identification number of the space area 6 in which the DR is executed, the time zone in which the DR is executed, and the power usage amount.
　情報取得部２２は、検出装置ｄ１および通信端末８、９からユーザ情報を取得し、検出装置ｄ２から電力使用情報を取得する。なお、情報取得部２２は、施設管理用の通信端末（図示省略）から各ユーザのユーザ情報を一括して取得してもよい。また、情報取得部２２は、ユーザの人数に関する情報を、通信端末８、９から取得してもよいし、検出装置ｄ１から取得してもよい。また、情報取得部２２は、電気機器７から電力使用量に関する情報を取得してもよい。 The information acquisition unit 22 acquires user information from the detection device d1 and communication terminals 8 and 9, and acquires power usage information from the detection device d2. The information acquisition unit 22 may collectively acquire user information of each user from a communication terminal for facility management (not shown). Further, the information acquisition unit 22 may acquire information on the number of users from the communication terminals 8 and 9, or may acquire information from the detection device d1. In addition, the information acquisition unit 22 may acquire information on the amount of electric power used from the electric device 7.
　貢献度算出部２４は、ユーザ情報および電力使用情報に基づいて、ユーザが電力の使用の調整に協力した貢献度を算出する。まず、貢献度算出部２４は、制御部２０によって各空間領域６に割り振られた電力量および電力増減目標と、情報取得部２２で取得した空間領域６の電力使用量とに基づいて、各空間領域６における電力増減実績を求める。そして貢献度算出部２４は、電力増減実績を、空間領域６を利用したユーザの人数で除算して貢献度を求める。貢献度は、一人あたりの電力増減実績で表され、値が大きくなるにしたがい貢献度が大きくなる。この貢献度は、後述する対価ポイントを算出する際に用いられる。 The contribution calculation unit 24 calculates the contribution that the user cooperated with in adjusting the power usage based on the user information and the power usage information. First, the contribution calculation unit 24 determines each space based on the power amount and power increase / decrease target allocated to each space area 6 by the control unit 20 and the power consumption amount of the space area 6 acquired by the information acquisition unit 22. Obtain the actual power increase / decrease in region 6. Then, the contribution calculation unit 24 divides the power increase / decrease record by the number of users who used the space area 6 to obtain the contribution. The degree of contribution is expressed by the actual power increase / decrease per person, and the degree of contribution increases as the value increases. This degree of contribution is used when calculating the consideration points described later.
　以下において、ユーザが学生である場合のユーザの貢献度を例に挙げて説明する。 In the following, the degree of contribution of the user when the user is a student will be described as an example.
　図５は、ユーザＡのスケジュール情報、貢献度および対価ポイントなどを示す図である。この図には、ユーザＡが出席した講義の電力削減実績、および、講義に出席した学生の人数であるユーザの人数も示されている。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing schedule information, contribution degree, consideration points, etc. of user A.

　例えば図５には、午前１１時から午後２時までにおける電力需要の削減要求に対し、施設５では、講義Ｂ２にて２６ｋＷｈ、講義Ｂ３にて１８ｋＷの電力削減実績があったことが示されている。また、ユーザＡは、講義Ｂ１、Ｂ２、Ｂ３に出席していたことが示されている。ユーザＡの貢献度は、電力削減実績をユーザの人数で除算して求められ、講義Ｂ１については３０２Ｗｈ／人、講義Ｂ３については５６３Ｗｈ／人となる。なお、講義Ｂ１については、電力需要の増減要求を受け付けていないので、電力削減実績および貢献度は０である。 For example, FIG. 5 shows that in response to the request for reduction of power demand from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, facility 5 had a power reduction record of 26 kWh in lecture B2 and 18 kW in lecture B3. There is. It is also shown that User A attended lectures B1, B2, and B3. The degree of contribution of user A is obtained by dividing the actual power reduction by the number of users, and is 302 Wh / person for lecture B1 and 563 Wh / person for lecture B3. As for lecture B1, since the request for increase / decrease in power demand is not accepted, the power reduction result and the degree of contribution are 0.
　図６は、施設５の空間領域６におけるユーザ情報の一例を示す図であり、図７は、施設５の空間領域６におけるユーザ情報の他の一例を示す図である。図６および図７に示されるように、貢献度は、ユーザの人数が少ないほど高くなる傾向にある。なお、貢献度はユーザの人数だけでなく、他の要素によっても変わる値である。以下、図８および図９に例を挙げて説明する。 FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of user information in the space area 6 of the facility 5, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of user information in the space area 6 of the facility 5. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the degree of contribution tends to increase as the number of users decreases. The degree of contribution is a value that changes not only with the number of users but also with other factors. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
　図８は、施設５の空間領域６におけるユーザの言動を示す図であり、例えば、空間領域６が寒くて暖房を入れる時のユーザＡの言動が示されている。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the behavior of the user in the space area 6 of the facility 5. For example, the behavior of the user A when the space area 6 is cold and the heating is turned on is shown.
　貢献度算出部２４は、図８の（ａ）に示されるように、ユーザＡが初めに座っていた位置から電気機器（空調機器）７の近くに移動して着席した場合、または、ユーザＡが他のユーザと隣り合うように着席した場合は、ユーザＡの貢献度を通常よりも（電力削減実績をユーザの人数で単純に除算するよりも）高くしてもよい。また、貢献度算出部２４は、ユーザＡが電気機器７の近くに移動するように他のユーザに言った場合、または、ユーザＡが皆で隣り合うように周りに呼びかけた場合は、ユーザＡの貢献度を通常よりも高くしてもよい。また、貢献度算出部２４は、図８の（ｂ）に示されるように、ユーザＡが上着を着るなどして暖房の設定温度を下げるのに協力した場合は、ユーザＡの貢献度を通常よりも高くしてもよい。また、貢献度算出部２４は、ユーザＡの体温に関する情報から、ユーザＡが暖房の設定温度を下げるのに協力していると判断した場合は、ユーザＡの貢献度を通常よりも高くしてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 8A, the contribution calculation unit 24 moves from the position where the user A was originally seated to the vicinity of the electric device (air conditioner) 7 and sits down, or the user A When the user is seated next to another user, the contribution of the user A may be higher than usual (rather than simply dividing the power reduction result by the number of users). Further, when the user A tells another user to move closer to the electric device 7, or when the user A calls the surroundings so that everyone is next to each other, the user A Contribution may be higher than usual. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, the contribution calculation unit 24 determines the contribution of the user A when the user A cooperates in lowering the set temperature of the heating by wearing a jacket or the like. It may be higher than usual. Further, when the contribution calculation unit 24 determines from the information on the body temperature of the user A that the user A is cooperating in lowering the set temperature of the heating, the contribution of the user A is made higher than usual. May be good.
　図９は、ＤＲを実行する際に特定のユーザが通信端末９に対して行う操作を示す図である。図９に示されるように、通信端末９の画面９ａには、空間領域６における電力削減目標、変更後の温度を許可するためのアイコンが表示されている。ここで画面９ａ上のＹｅｓのアイコンがユーザによって押圧されると、画面９ａに示された変更後の温度設定が許可されたことになる。貢献度算出部２４は、このように電力の使用の調整をするための操作を行ったユーザの貢献度を通常よりも高くしてもよい。なお、ユーザの操作は、画面９ａへのタッチ操作であってもよいし、通信端末９に対する音声操作であってもよい。 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an operation performed on the communication terminal 9 by a specific user when executing DR. As shown in FIG. 9, on the screen 9a of the communication terminal 9, an icon for permitting the power reduction target in the space area 6 and the changed temperature is displayed. When the Yes icon on the screen 9a is pressed by the user, the changed temperature setting shown on the screen 9a is permitted. The contribution calculation unit 24 may make the contribution of the user who has performed the operation for adjusting the power usage in this way higher than usual. The user's operation may be a touch operation on the screen 9a or a voice operation on the communication terminal 9.
　ポイント算出部２５は、貢献度算出部２４にて求めた貢献度に基づいて、対価ポイントを算出する。その際、ポイント算出部２５は、貢献度が高いほど対価ポイントが高くなるように算出する。図５には、講義Ｂ２に出席したユーザＡの対価ポイントが６７であり、講義Ｂ３に出席したユーザＡの対価ポイントが１２５である例が示されている。対価ポイントは、商品またはサービスに変えることができるポイントであってもよいし、商品またはサービスに変えることができない単なる評価値であってもよい。 The point calculation unit 25 calculates consideration points based on the contribution degree obtained by the contribution degree calculation unit 24. At that time, the point calculation unit 25 calculates so that the higher the degree of contribution, the higher the consideration points. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the consideration point of the user A who attended the lecture B2 is 67, and the consideration point of the user A who attends the lecture B3 is 125. The consideration points may be points that can be converted into goods or services, or may be mere evaluation values that cannot be converted into goods or services.
　記憶部２６は、要求受付部２１で受け付けた電力需要の増減要求、情報取得部２２で取得したユーザ情報および電力使用情報、貢献度算出部２４で算出した貢献度、および、ポイント算出部２５で算出した対価ポイントを履歴情報として保存する。ポイント算出部２５は、この履歴情報に基づいて、例えばユーザＡの過去の貢献度に基づいて対価ポイントを算出してもよい。また、ポイント算出部２５は、ユーザＡの過去の貢献度が大きい場合に対価ポイントを割り増してもよい。 The storage unit 26 is a request for increase / decrease in power demand received by the request reception unit 21, user information and power usage information acquired by the information acquisition unit 22, the contribution degree calculated by the contribution degree calculation unit 24, and the point calculation unit 25. The calculated consideration points are saved as history information. The point calculation unit 25 may calculate consideration points based on, for example, the past contribution of the user A based on this history information. Further, the point calculation unit 25 may increase the consideration points when the past contribution of the user A is large.
　通信部１２は、ポイント算出部２５で算出した対価ポイントを通信端末８に送信する。 The communication unit 12 transmits the consideration points calculated by the point calculation unit 25 to the communication terminal 8.
　図１０は、電力の使用の調整に協力した人が所持する通信端末８に表示される画面８ａの一例を示す図である。図１０に示されるように通信端末８の画面８ａには、ユーザＡの合計の対価ポイント、昨日から増えた対価ポイント、１週間前の対価ポイントが表示されている。これにより、ＤＲに対するユーザＡの参加意識を向上させることができる。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen 8a displayed on a communication terminal 8 possessed by a person who cooperated in adjusting the use of electric power. As shown in FIG. 10, on the screen 8a of the communication terminal 8, the total consideration points of the user A, the consideration points increased from yesterday, and the consideration points one week ago are displayed. As a result, the user A's awareness of participation in DR can be improved.
　［３．管理システムの動作］
　次に、管理システム１の動作について、図１１を参照しながら説明する。図１１は、管理システム１の動作を示すシーケンス図である。 [3. Management system operation]
Next, the operation of the management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the management system 1.
　まず、電力供給サーバ２がアグリゲータサーバ１０に電力需要の増減要求を行う。アグリゲータサーバ１０は、電力供給サーバ２から送信された電力需要の増減要求を受け付ける（ステップＳ１１）。電力需要の増減要求には、所定の時間帯における電力の増加目標または削減目標に関する情報が含まれている。 First, the power supply server 2 requests the aggregator server 10 to increase or decrease the power demand. The aggregator server 10 receives the power demand increase / decrease request transmitted from the power supply server 2 (step S11). The request for increase / decrease in power demand includes information on a target for increasing or decreasing power in a predetermined time zone.
　アグリゲータサーバ１０を所有するアグリゲータは、あらかじめ複数の需要家とＤＲの契約を結んでいる。アグリゲータサーバ１０は、需要家の施設５に対して、電力需要の増減要求を送信する。 The aggregator who owns the aggregator server 10 has a DR contract with a plurality of consumers in advance. The aggregator server 10 transmits a request for increase / decrease in power demand to the facility 5 of the consumer.
　次に、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、空間領域６に割り振られた電力増減目標に応じて、電気機器７を駆動するための駆動信号を送信する（ステップＳ１２）。これにより、空間領域６に設けられた電気機器７が駆動する。なお本実施の形態では、電気機器７が駆動される前に、ユーザによって電力需要の増減要求を受け入れるか否かの許否判断が行われる。ただしそれに限られず、例えば、アグリゲータがユーザの許可を得ずに空間領域６の電気機器７を制御するように需要家と契約している場合、アグリゲータサーバ１０はユーザの許可を求めずに空間領域６の電気機器７を制御してもよい。 Next, the aggregator server 10 transmits a drive signal for driving the electric device 7 according to the power increase / decrease target allocated to the space area 6 (step S12). As a result, the electric device 7 provided in the space area 6 is driven. In the present embodiment, before the electric device 7 is driven, the user determines whether or not to accept the request for increase / decrease in power demand. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the aggregator contracts with a consumer to control the electric device 7 in the spatial area 6 without obtaining the user's permission, the aggregator server 10 does not ask for the user's permission. The electric device 7 of 6 may be controlled.
　空間領域６における電力の使用の調整が行われ、電気機器７の駆動が終了した後、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ユーザ情報および電力使用情報を取得する（ステップＳ１３）。具体的には、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、電気機器７の駆動制御を終了した後、検出装置ｄ１および通信端末８、９にユーザ情報を返信するように、また、検出装置ｄ２に電力使用情報を返信するように指示信号を送信する。指示信号を受けた検出装置ｄ１および通信端末８、９は、ユーザ情報をアグリゲータサーバ１０に送信し、検出装置ｄ２は、電力使用情報をアグリゲータサーバ１０に送信する。これにより、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ユーザ情報および電力使用情報を取得する。 After the power usage in the space area 6 is adjusted and the electric device 7 is driven, the aggregator server 10 acquires the user information and the power usage information (step S13). Specifically, the aggregator server 10 returns the user information to the detection device d1 and the communication terminals 8 and 9 after finishing the drive control of the electric device 7, and returns the power usage information to the detection device d2. Send an instruction signal to do so. Upon receiving the instruction signal, the detection device d1 and the communication terminals 8 and 9 transmit the user information to the aggregator server 10, and the detection device d2 transmits the power usage information to the aggregator server 10. As a result, the aggregator server 10 acquires user information and power usage information.
　アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ステップＳ１３で取得したユーザ情報および電力使用情報に基づいて、ユーザの貢献度を算出する（ステップＳ１４）。貢献度は、例えば一人あたりの電力増減実績である。 The aggregator server 10 calculates the degree of contribution of the user based on the user information and the power usage information acquired in step S13 (step S14). The degree of contribution is, for example, the actual power increase / decrease per person.
　次に、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ステップＳ１４で算出した貢献度に基づいて、ユーザの対価ポイントを算出する（ステップＳ１５）。その後、アグリゲータサーバ１０は、ユーザＡに対価ポイントを通知する（ステップＳ１６）。具体的には、ユーザＡが所持する通信端末８に対価ポイント等を送信する。対価ポイントを送信された通信端末８は、対価ポイント等の情報を画面８ａに表示する（ステップＳ１７）。これにより、ＤＲに対するユーザＡの参加意識を向上させることができる。 Next, the aggregator server 10 calculates the user's consideration points based on the contribution calculated in step S14 (step S15). After that, the aggregator server 10 notifies the user A of the consideration points (step S16). Specifically, the consideration points and the like are transmitted to the communication terminal 8 possessed by the user A. The communication terminal 8 to which the consideration points have been transmitted displays information such as the consideration points on the screen 8a (step S17). As a result, the user A's awareness of participation in DR can be improved.
