Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a distributed power management system and a distributed power management method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, a system that uses distributed power sources such as power storage devices (hereinafter referred to as VPP (Virtual Power Plant)) has been attracting attention in order to stabilize the power supply and demand balance in a power grid (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] Furthermore, a model (so-called third-party ownership model) has also been proposed in which the ownership of the distributed power source remains with the business operator, and the distributed power source is installed at the facility. For example, the business operator may be an electricity retailer that sells electricity to the facility. In the third-party ownership model, it is expected that the amount of electricity sold to the facility by the electricity retailer can be reduced by consuming the output power of the distributed power source at the facility.

[0011] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. However, the drawings are schematic.

[0012] [Embodiment] (Rental system) The mechanism for renting out distributed power sources according to the embodiment will be described below. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, a system will be described in which a first operator leases a distributed energy source that he owns to a facility via a second operator.

[0013] The first operator has ownership of the distributed power source. The first operator grants the second operator the right to lend the distributed power source to the facility. The right to lend to the facility may be considered as a lending of the distributed power source from the first operator to the second operator. The first operator may collect a fee for lending the distributed power source from the second operator. The fee may be set as a flat rate. The first operator may be read as a first terminal used by the first operator.

[0014] Although not particularly limited, the first operator may be a manufacturer of the distributed power source. The first operator may provide a guarantee for the distributed power source to the second operator.

[0015] The second business operator has the right to rent the distributed power source to the facility. The second business operator rents the distributed power source to the facility. The second business operator may collect a fee for renting the distributed power source from the facility. The fee may be determined as a flat rate. The second business operator may be read as a second terminal used by the second business operator.

[0016] Although not particularly limited, the second business operator may undertake construction work to install a distributed power source in the facility. The second business operator may undertake maintenance of the distributed power source installed in the facility. The maintenance may include inspection and repair of the distributed power source.

[0017] Here, the second business operator may be a business operator (electricity retailer) that sells power to the facility. The second business operator may have the authority to control the distributed power sources installed in the facility.

[0018] The facility is a facility where the distributed power source is installed. The facility may be interpreted as a customer of the facility, or as an owner who installs the distributed power source. The facility may have a contract to purchase electricity from the second business operator.

[0019] The platform is a platform accessible by at least a second entity. The platform may be accessible by a first entity. The platform may be accessible by a facility. The platform may be implemented on one or more servers. The platform may be provided by a first entity.

[0020] For example, the platform may be used by a first business operator for the purpose of asset management of distributed power sources. The platform may be used by a first business operator and a second business operator for the purpose of fee calculation for rental of distributed power sources. The platform may be used by a second business operator for the purpose of customer management associated with rental of distributed power sources.

[0021] In the embodiment, the rental of a distributed power source is an act that does not involve a transfer of ownership of the distributed power source. In other words, even if the distributed power source is rented to a facility, the ownership of the distributed power source remains with the first business operator, and the distributed power source is managed as a fixed asset of the first business operator. Note that the "right to rent the distributed power source to the facility" given by the first business operator to the second business operator may be read as a right to use the distributed power source.

[0022] (Distributed Power Management System) A distributed power supply management system according to an embodiment will be described below. The distributed power supply management system 1 is a system for realizing the above-mentioned distributed power supply rental mechanism.

[0023] 2, the distributed power supply management system 1 includes a facility 100. The distributed power supply management system 1 includes a first server 200 and a second server 300.

[0024] Here, the facility 100, the first server 200, and the second server 300 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via a network 11. The network 11 may include the Internet, a dedicated line such as a VPN (Virtual Private Network), or a mobile communication network.

[0025] The facility 100 is connected to the power system 12, and may receive power from the power system 12, or may supply power to the power system 12. Power from the power system 12 to the facility 100 may be referred to as forward flow power. Power from the facility 100 to the power system 12 may be referred to as reverse flow power. In FIG. 2, facilities 100A to 100C are illustrated as examples of the facility 100.

[0026] Although not particularly limited, the facility 100 may be a facility such as a residence, a facility such as a store, or a facility such as an office. The facility 100 may be an apartment building including two or more residences. The facility 100 may be a complex including at least two or more facilities of residences, stores, and offices. Details of the facility 100 will be described later (see FIG. 3). Note that a user who owns or manages the facility 100 may also be referred to as the facility 100.

[0027] The first server 200 is a server on which the platform shown in Fig. 1 is implemented. The first server 200 may be managed by a first business operator. The first server 200 manages personal information related to the facility 100 and area information related to the facility 100. Details of the first server 200 will be described later (see Fig. 4).

[0028] The second server 300 is a server that at least monitors the status of the distributed power sources installed in the facility 100. The second server 300 may control the distributed power sources installed in the facility 100. The second server 300 may be managed by a first business operator. When the second business operator has access authority to the second server 300, the second server 300 may be used by the second business operator. Details of the second server 300 will be described later (see FIG. 5).
