[About Demand Response (DR)]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a demand response.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the supply and demand of electric power is tight, the electric power company 1 issues a DR to the aggregator 2 to request the reduction of electric power. In DR, the aggregator 2 is notified of the execution time of DR and the requested power reduction.

The aggregator 2 issues a DR to a consumer 3 (customers A, B, etc.) managed by the aggregator 2 in response to the DR issued by the electric power company 1. That is, the reduced power requested by the electric power company 1 is distributed to a plurality of consumers 3, and a DR is issued for each consumer 3. It is assumed that the power reduction when the consumer 3 participates in the DR is predetermined in the contract. This contract is made between the consumer 3 and the aggregator 2, or between the consumer 3 and the electric power company 1. In the following, the reduced power specified in the contract is referred to as "contract reduced power". The contract reduced power is the power requested by the contract to be reduced based on the baseline power during the DR implementation time.

In response to the DR issued by the aggregator 2, the consumer 3 stops a device that consumes electric power such as an air conditioner or generates electricity by an internal power generator such as a gas generator during the DR implementation time. By doing so, the power received from the power system is reduced. The consumer 3 notifies the aggregator 2 of the reduced power received (hereinafter referred to as “reduced power”).

The aggregator 2 aggregates the reduced power consumption of the plurality of consumers 3 and notifies the electric power company 1 of the total value of the reduced power consumption.

The electric power company 1 receives the notification of the total value of the reduced power from the aggregator 2, determines the incentive (reward) based on the total value of the notified reduced power and the requested reduced power, and sets the determined incentive to the aggregator 2. pay. For example, the electric power company 1 may pay the aggregator 2 a basic incentive and a metered incentive proportional to the total value of the reduced power when the total value of the reduced power exceeds the requested reduced power.

The aggregator 2 receives a part of the incentive paid by the electric power company 1 as an incentive for the aggregator 2, and distributes the remaining incentive to the consumer 3. The incentive paid by the aggregator 2 to the consumer 3 may be calculated by, for example, a pay-as-you-go incentive shown in Equation 1.
Pay-as-you-go incentive = reduced power consumption from baseline power during DR implementation time [kWh] x unit price A [yen / kWh] ... (Equation 1)

The pay-as-you-go incentive is an incentive paid in proportion to the received power actually reduced during the DR implementation time. The amount of reduced power from the baseline power at the DR implementation time is calculated by integrating the reduced power from the baseline power at the DR implementation time at the DR implementation time.

Further, the incentive paid by the aggregator 2 to the consumer 3 may be calculated by, for example, the basic incentive shown in the equation 2.
Basic incentive = contract reduction power [kW] x unit price B [yen / kW] ... (Equation 2)

The basic incentive is an incentive paid when the success conditions of DR are met. For example, if the success condition of DR is to reduce the received power by 70% or more of the contract reduced power during the DR execution time, the consumer who reduced the received power by 70% or more of the contract reduced power during the DR execution time. A basic incentive is paid for 3.

For example, if the received power of 70% or more of the contract reduced power is reduced in the first 10 minutes from the start of DR, in addition to the basic incentive, for example, the bonus incentive shown in Equation 3 may be paid. ..
Bonus incentive = contract reduction power [kW] x unit price C [yen / kW] ... (Equation 3)

The consumer 3 who fails to meet the success condition of DR may not be able to receive payment from the aggregator 2 for both the basic incentive and the pay-as-you-go incentive, and the consumer 3 may not be able to receive money from the aggregator 2. You may pay a penalty such as.

In addition, the consumer 3 who meets the success conditions of DR may be able to receive payments of both basic incentives and pay-as-you-go incentives from the aggregator 2.

The reduction request receiving unit 32 receives a DR request from the server 20 via the communication I / F unit 31.

The input receiving unit 33 receives an operation input of the keyboard 51 or the like by the user.

The demand forecasting unit 34 collects the actual value of the amount of power generated by the power generation facility 60 from the instrumentation panel 64. That is, the demand forecasting unit 34 obtains the actual value of the charge / discharge power of the storage battery 61, the actual value of the generated power of the photovoltaic generator 62, and the actual value of the generated power of the internal combustion power generator 63 from the instrument panel 64. To get. Further, the demand forecasting unit 34 acquires the actual value of the amount of power received from the electric power company 1 of the factory 71 from the power receiving meter 72 of the consumer. The demand forecasting unit 34 calculates a demand forecasting value, which is a forecasting value of the electric power demand in the demand equipment 70, based on the acquired actual values of the power generation amount and the received power amount. As the method for calculating the demand forecast value, a known technique can be used instead of the main purpose of the present application. Therefore, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. For example, the demand forecast value may be calculated by correcting the actual value of the electric power demand for each day of the week based on the weather data or the like. The demand forecast unit 34 stores the calculated demand forecast value in the storage device 40.

When the demand forecast value is stored in the storage device 40 in advance, the demand forecast unit 34 may acquire the demand forecast value by reading the demand forecast value from the storage device 40.

The control plan creation unit 35 relates to predetermined constraint conditions (constraints related to input / output power of each power device 61 to 63, constraints related to fuel efficiency, and supply-demand balance) based on the demand forecast value calculated or acquired by the demand forecast unit 34. A control plan for each time step (t) is created by optimizing a predetermined objective function under constraints (constraints, constraints on electricity charges, gas charges, etc.).

The electric power equipment control unit 36 transmits an instruction to each of the electric power equipment 61 to 63 or the instrumentation panel 64 via the communication I / F unit 31 based on the control plan created by the control plan creation unit 35, respectively. It controls electric power devices 61 to 63.

The electric energy acquisition unit 37 acquires the electric energy in the power generation facility 60 from the instrumentation panel 64 via the communication I / F unit 31. Further, the electric energy acquisition unit 37 acquires the electric energy received by the factory 71 from the electric power company 1 from the electric energy receiving meter 72 of the consumer installed in the demand equipment 70.

The incentive calculation unit 38 calculates the provisional incentive acquired during the DR implementation based on the power generation amount and the received power amount acquired by the electric energy acquisition unit 37 and the conditions of the incentive acquired by the consumer 3 for the DR. .. Here, it is assumed that the incentive conditions are stored in the storage device 40 in advance.

For example, it is assumed that one of the following conditions 1 to 3 is stored in the storage device 40 as an incentive condition.
<Condition 1>
Pay a pay-as-you-go incentive (Equation 1).
<Condition 2>
The basic incentive (Equation 2) is paid when the success condition of DR (reducing the received power by 70% or more of the contract reduced power in the DR implementation time) is satisfied.
<Condition 3>
In addition to condition 2, if the received power is reduced by 70% or more of the contract reduced power in the first 10 minutes from the start of DR, a bonus incentive (formula 3) is paid.

However, the conditions of incentives are not limited to these. For example, when power is generated in the power generation facility 60, an incentive may be paid for the amount of power generation.

The incentive calculation unit 38 further provides a provisional achievement rate for the reduced power required by the DR based on the amount of power generation and the amount of power received by the electric energy acquisition unit 37 (hereinafter referred to as “provisional achievement rate”). Is calculated.

For example, the incentive calculation unit 38 calculates the provisional achievement rate according to the following equation 4.
Provisional achievement rate = (actual value of reduced power consumption / target reduced power consumption) x 100 (%) ... (Equation 4)

Here, the target reduced power amount is calculated by integrating the reduced power at the DR implementation time. The actual value of the reduced power consumption is calculated by integrating the reduced power consumption from the baseline power from the start of DR to the present.

The display control unit 39 displays the provisional incentive and the provisional achievement rate calculated by the incentive calculation unit 38 on the display screen of the display device 52. A display example on the display screen will be described later.

The storage device 40 is composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, or the like, and stores various information such as incentive conditions.

[Provisional incentive and provisional achievement rate display processing]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a provisional incentive and provisional achievement rate display processing executed by the energy management device.
The energy management device 30 waits until the DR implementation time starts (S1).

When the DR execution time starts (YES in S1), the incentive calculation unit 38 reads out the incentive condition from the storage device 40 (S2). For example, the incentive condition is a combination of the above-mentioned condition 1 and condition 2, and the unit price A in the metered incentive of condition 1 is 100,000 yen / kWh. In addition, the basic incentive paid when the DR of Condition 2 is successful is assumed to be 5 million yen.

The electric energy acquisition unit 37 acquires the electric energy in the power generation facility 60 from the instrumentation panel 64 via the communication I / F unit 31 (S3). If an incentive for power generation cannot be obtained, the process of step S3 may be omitted.

The electric energy acquisition unit 37 acquires the electric energy received by the demand equipment 70 from the power receiving meter 72 of the consumer via the communication I / F unit 31 (S4).

For example, the incentive calculation unit 38 calculates the provisional incentive by calculating the metered incentive from the start of DR to the present according to Equation 1.

The incentive calculation unit 38 calculates the provisional achievement rate based on the acquired power generation amount and power reception amount (S6). An example of calculating the provisional achievement rate is as shown in Equation 4.

The display control unit 39 displays the calculated provisional incentive and provisional achievement rate on the display screen of the display device 52 (S7).

The energy management device 30 repeatedly executes the processes after step S3 until the DR implementation time ends (S8).

[About display example]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a demand response monitoring screen showing a provisional incentive and a provisional achievement rate displayed in the display process (step S7 in FIG. 4).

The graph 100, the column 105, the column 106, and the table 107 are shown on the demand response monitoring screen. Graph 100 shows the time change of the received power and the time change of the provisional acquisition amount which is a provisional incentive. Further, the provisional acquisition amount is shown in the column 105, and the provisional achievement rate is shown in the column 106. In addition, Table 107 shows details of demand response, including incentive conditions.
As shown in Table 107, the DR implementation time is from 16:30 to 17:00.

The horizontal axis of the graph 100 shows time, and the vertical axis shows power and amount. The baseline power 103 is set to 1200 kW. The power reduction required for the DR carried out from 16:30 to 17:00 is 350 kW. That is, the target power 102 of the received power during the DR implementation time is 850 kW (= 1200 kW-350 kW).

The provisional acquisition amount 104 is a cumulative value of the metered incentive calculated according to Equation 1 when the difference between the baseline power 103 and the received power 101 is taken as the reduced power. The provisional acquisition amount 104 is also shown numerically in column 105.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another example of the demand response monitoring screen showing the provisional incentive and the provisional achievement rate displayed in the display process (step S7 in FIG. 4).

The graph 100A, the column 105, the column 106, and the table 107 are shown on the demand response monitoring screen. Columns 105, 106 and Table 107 are similar to those shown in FIG.

Graph 100A shows the provisional achievement rate 108 instead of the provisional acquisition amount 104 in the graph 100. Along with this, the vertical axis on the right side of the graph 100A shows the provisional achievement rate instead of the amount.

During the DR implementation time, the received power 101 and the provisional acquisition amount 104 or the provisional achievement rate 108 change with the passage of time. Therefore, the user can grasp these temporal transitions. This can motivate users with low incentives or achievement rates to reduce power consumption.
