Designated energy management factories are required to submit regular reports on their energy usage. Specifically, designated energy management factories convert their fuel and electricity consumption into crude oil equivalents and report it in kl. In-house power generation items are handled manually, such as visual inspection.

[0016] Next, an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example, and the embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to the following embodiments. Note that in all drawings used to explain the embodiments, the same reference numerals are used for components having the same functions, and repeated explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, in this application, "based on XX" means "based on at least XX," and includes cases where it is based on other elements in addition to XX. Furthermore, "based on XX" is not limited to cases where XX is used directly, but also includes cases where it is based on XX that has been calculated or processed. "XX" is any element (for example, any information).

[0017] (Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a power monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The power monitoring system includes a monitoring device 1, a display device 2, a cloud server 3, and an information processing device 100. The monitoring device 1, cloud server 3, and information processing device 100 are connected via a communication network NW such as the Internet, and the monitoring device 1 and display device 2 are connected via a transmission line. Note that the monitoring device 1 and display device 2 may also be connected via the communication network NW.

[0018] The monitoring device 1 is installed in a high-voltage power receiving facility such as a cubicle, and is equipped with a power information input unit 11 to which multiple power sensors 4 can be connected, a memory 13 for storing various information, a control unit 14 for controlling the monitoring device 1, a first communication IF 15 for communicating with the cloud server 3, a second communication IF 16 for communicating with the display device 2, etc. The power sensor 4 connected to the power information input unit 11 measures the power of each of the three-phase transformer and single-phase transformer (neither shown) that convert high voltage to low voltage within the high voltage power receiving equipment, and transmits the power data to the monitoring device 1. The power sensor 4 includes a simple electric wire connected to the measurement location.

[0019] Upon receiving this power data, the monitoring device 1 performs a predetermined calculation in the control unit 14 and stores the calculation results in the memory 13. Specifically, the control unit 14 calculates the average value for each predetermined time period (here, every 30 minutes) from the obtained power data and stores the result in the memory 13. The control unit 14 also calculates the average value of the power factor for each predetermined time period and stores the result in the memory 13. The predetermined time period for calculating the average value can be set arbitrarily. For example, the predetermined time period for calculating the average value may be 10 minutes or 1 hour.

[0020] The display device 2 is installed, for example, in a control room of a consumer, and includes a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a communication IF 23 for communicating with the monitoring device 1. By operating the operation unit 22, desired information regarding power usage can be obtained from the monitoring device 1 and displayed on the display unit 21. In addition, by operating the operation unit 22, information regarding various characteristics such as the operating power and power factor of each load device to which power is supplied by the high-voltage power receiving equipment can be input to the cloud server 3 via the monitoring device 1.

[0021] The cloud server 3 communicates with the multiple monitoring devices 1 and the information processing device 100 via the communication network NW. The cloud server 3 includes a load information database 31 that stores, for each monitoring device 1 (each consumer), information on the operating power and power factor of each load device to which power is supplied by the high-voltage power receiving equipment, and an operation information database 32 that stores operation mode characteristics such as average time information on the start / end of operation of each load device, power change characteristics after operation, and power factor change characteristics.

[0022] Fig. 2 shows an example of the display on the display device 2, showing the trends in the power and power factor measured by the monitoring device 1 of consumer A. Fig. 2 shows the average power and power factor calculated at predetermined time intervals (every 30 minutes in this case), and the data calculated by the control unit 14 and stored in the memory 13 is retrieved and displayed. Specifically, Figure 2 shows the measured values ​​of a three-phase transformer installed in high-voltage power receiving equipment. During the time period shown, no power is measured for 30 minutes after measurements begin, so there is no load, but power is measured from 30 minutes later until three hours later. This shows that the load equipment is operating.

[0023] For example, the cloud server 3 registers that an electric furnace and a motor are connected to a three-phase transformer as load equipment for consumer A. The operating current of the electric furnace is registered as 100 kW and the power factor is registered as 1.0, and the rated current of the motor is registered as 35 kW and the power factor is registered as -0.6. Based on this information, the control unit 14 estimates that the electric furnace will be in full operation from 30 minutes to 1 hour later, since the power will be approximately 100 kW and the power factor will be between 0.9 and 1.0.

[0024] Furthermore, from 1 hour to 1.5 hours later, the control unit 14 estimates that the electric furnace is operating at full capacity and the motor is running, since the power is approximately 135 kW and the power factor is between 0.8 and 0.9. Furthermore, from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours later, the control unit 14 estimates that the electric furnace is operating at 35 kW and the motor is running, since the power is approximately 70 kW and the power factor is between 0.7 and 0.8. Furthermore, from 2.5 hours to 3 hours later, the control unit 14 estimates that the motor is stopped and only the electric furnace is in operation, since the power is approximately 35 kW and the power factor is between 0.9 and 1.0. After 3 hours, the control unit 14 estimates that there is no load because no current is measured.

[0025] Figure 3 shows the above estimation results displayed on the display unit 21. D1 indicates the operating state of the electric furnace, and D2 indicates the operating state of the motor. As shown in Figure 3, it is estimated that the electric furnace operated from 30 minutes to 3 hours after the start of measurement, and the motor operated from 1 hour to 2.5 hours.

[0026] In this way, even if multiple load devices are operating simultaneously, the operating status of multiple loads can be grasped simply by measuring the power of the transformer installed in the high-voltage power receiving equipment and calculating the power factor. Therefore, the operating status of each load can be grasped without installing a measuring means such as a power sensor for each load device, which can be used to promote energy conservation. Furthermore, because it is possible to display the operating status of multiple load devices on the same screen, it is possible to visually check the average power and power factor of multiple loads connected to the same transformer. This makes it possible to create an operating plan that prevents multiple loads connected to the same transformer from operating at full capacity at the same time, and provides information that will help promote further energy savings. If there are many loads, you can use the scroll bar to change the screen display and compare the average power and power factor of all the loads. The order of the loads can be changed using the mouse. Furthermore, since the monitoring device 1 can estimate the operating load based on the average value over a predetermined period of time, such as 30 minutes, it can eliminate the influence of large fluctuations in current when the load equipment starts up and noise, and can provide highly accurate information. Furthermore, by having the cloud server 3 on the communication network manage the load information of the high-voltage power receiving equipment, the information of the load devices of multiple customers can be managed collectively, and each customer can build a system at low cost.

[0027] The following description will be continued by taking as an example a case where the power monitoring system is applied to a company. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the facility layout of a company to which the power monitoring system according to this embodiment is applied. The example company has a head office, a first factory, and a second factory. The first factory has assembly line A and assembly line B, and the second factory has assembly line C. Assembly line A includes assembly line A-1 and assembly line A-2, and assembly line B includes assembly line B-1.

The amount of power supplied to the head office, the amount of power supplied to assembly line A-1, the amount of power supplied to assembly line A-2, and the amount of power supplied to assembly line B-1 are measured by watt-hour meters WhM2, WhM4, WhM5, and WhM7, respectively, and are obtained by performing a predetermined calculation in control unit 14. Watt-hour meters WhM2, WhM4, WhM5, and WhM7 are examples of power sensors 4.

[0029] Furthermore, the cloud server 3 stores information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line C-1 (hereinafter referred to as "assembly line C-1 supply power information"), information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line C-2 (hereinafter referred to as "assembly line C-2 supply power information"), and information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line C-3 (hereinafter referred to as "assembly line C-3 supply power information"). The amount of power supplied to assembly line C-1, assembly line C-2, and assembly line C-3 is measured by watt-hour meters WhM11, WhM12, and WhM13, respectively, and is obtained by performing a predetermined calculation in control unit 14. Watt-hour meters WhM11, WhM12, and WhM13 are examples of power sensors 4.

[0030] The information processing device 100 acquires one or more pieces of information indicating the amount of power supplied from the high-voltage power receiving equipment to each transformer from the cloud server 3. Specifically, the information processing device 100 acquires from the cloud server 3 the head office supply power amount information, assembly line A-1 supply power amount information, assembly line A-2 supply power amount information, assembly line B-1 supply power amount information, assembly line C-1 supply power amount information, assembly line C-2 supply power amount information, and assembly line C-3 supply power amount information.

[0031] Furthermore, the information processing device 100 acquires one or more pieces of information indicating the amount of power generated by the power generation facility. For example, the information processing device 100 acquires information indicating the amount of power generated transmitted by a communication device included in the power generation facility. Alternatively, the information processing device 100 may acquire information indicating the amount of power generated that is transmitted to the monitoring device 1 by a communication device included in the power generation facility and that the monitoring device 1 stores in the cloud server 3. The information processing device 100 creates report data based on one or more pieces of supplied power amount information and one or more pieces of generated power amount information. The information processing device 100 included in the power monitoring system will be described in detail below.

The information processing device 100 may be, for example, a stationary computer, or a portable computer such as a smartphone or a tablet computer (tablet PC).

[0033] The communication unit 102 communicates with an external communication device such as the cloud server 3 via the network NW. The communication unit 102 communicates using a wireless communication method such as a wireless LAN, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or LTE (Long Term Evolution) (registered trademark). The communication unit 102 may also communicate using a communication method such as a wired LAN.

[0034] The storage unit 100 is realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), etc. The storage unit 110 may be realized by a cloud. The storage unit 100 stores, for each of one or more transformers, the identification information of the transformer, the identification information of one or more assembly lines to which power is supplied from the transformer, the identification information of one or more assembly lines (hereinafter also referred to as "assembly sub-lines") included in each of the one or more assembly lines, and information indicating the amount of power supplied from the transformer to each of the one or more assembly sub-lines, in association with each other. For example, the identification information of the transformer identifies a consumer such as a company. The operation unit 109 is an input device that accepts operations from a user such as an operator, and is, for example, a touch panel.

[0035] The communication unit 102 receives one or more supply power amount information notifications transmitted by the cloud server 3.

The storage processing unit 104 associates one or both of the identification information of the assembly line and the identification information of the assembly sub-line contained in each of the acquired one or more supplied power amount information notifications with information indicating the amount of supplied power, and stores the information in the storage unit 110.

[0037] The calculation unit 106 acquires one or more supply energy amount information notifications from the supply energy amount information acquisition unit 103-1, and acquires one or more power generation energy amount information notifications from the power generation energy amount information acquisition unit 103-2.

The creation unit 108 transmits the created report from the communication unit 102 to a preset destination.

[0038] The image processing unit 105 displays the company's equipment layout (FIG. 4) on a display unit (not shown). As shown in FIG. 4, an example of the company's equipment layout is hierarchically classified into major categories, medium categories, minor categories, and processes. The major category is "Total." "Total" includes the medium categories "Head Office," "First Factory," and "Second Factory." "First Factory" includes the minor categories "Assembly Line A" and "Assembly Line B," and "Second Factory" includes the minor category "Assembly Line C." "Assembly line A" includes "assembly (sub) line A-1" and "assembly (sub) line A-2" as processes, and "assembly line B" includes "assembly (sub) line B-1" as a process.

[0039] "Assembly (sub) line A-1" is associated with folder "Assembly line A-1" and watt-hour meter No. "WhM4." "Assembly (sub) line A-2" is associated with folder "Assembly line A-2" and watt-hour meter No. "WhM5." The assembly A production quantity of assembly line A is associated with pulse 6. For example, the folder contains registration information for watt-hour meters. "Assembly (sub) line B-1" is associated with the folder "Assembly line B-1" and watt-hour meter No. "WhM7." The assembly B production quantity of assembly line B is associated with pulse 9.

[0041] A case where a change is made to the facility layout of a company shown in FIG. 4 will be described. (Facility layout change example 1) A case will be described where, from the company's equipment layout shown in FIG. 4, a change is made to include assembly line (sub) A-2 as assembly line (sub) B-2 in assembly line B. Cloud server 3 stores information indicating the amount of power supplied to assembly line (sub) B-2 (hereinafter referred to as "assembly line B-2 supply power information") instead of assembly line A-2 supply power information. The assembly line B-2 supply power information is measured by watt-hour meter WhM8 and obtained by performing a predetermined calculation in control unit 14. Watt-hour meter WhM8 is an example of power sensor 4.

[0042] In the facility layout of the company shown in FIG. 4, when a user performs an operation of dragging and dropping a folder "assembly line A-2" associated with assembly (sub) line A-2 included in assembly line A into the area surrounding assembly line B, operation unit 109 accepts the operation. The change unit 107 changes the facility layout of the company based on the operation received by the operation unit 109. Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the information processing device 100 according to this embodiment. The modification unit 107 creates a new assembly (sub) line B-2 in a process that is a lower hierarchical level than the assembly line B. The modification unit 107 associates the identification information of the assembly (sub) line B-2, the folder "assembly line B-2," and the watt-hour meter number "WhM8." Furthermore, the modification unit 107 acquires the production quantity of the assembly sub line A-1 from the production quantity of assembly A associated with pulse 6, and associates the acquired production quantity of assembly sub line A-1 with the production quantity of assembly B associated with pulse 9. As a result, the production quantity of assembly sub line A-1 is added to the production quantity of assembly B. This makes it possible to measure the basic unit.

[0043] The change unit 107 acquires information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line A-2, which is associated with the identification information of the assembly (sub) line A-2, from the storage unit 110. The change unit 107 stores the acquired information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line A-2 in the storage unit 110, in association with the identification information of the assembly line B. The change unit 107 deletes from the storage unit 110 the information indicating the amount of power supplied to the assembly line A-2 and the production quantity of assembly A, which are associated with the identification information of the assembly (sub) line A-2.

[0044] (Facility layout change example 2) A case will be described where the company's equipment layout shown in FIG. 4 is changed to include assembly line A of the first factory in the second factory. Cloud server 3 stores information indicating the amount of power supplied to assembly line A of the second factory (hereinafter referred to as "assembly line A supply power information") instead of assembly line A-1 supply power information and assembly line A-2 supply power information. The assembly line A supply power information is measured by watt-hour meter WhM10 and obtained by performing a predetermined calculation in control unit 14. Watt-hour meter WhM10 is an example of power sensor 4.

[0045] In the company's equipment layout shown in FIG. 4, when a user performs an operation of dragging and dropping a folder "Assembly Line A" associated with assembly line A included in the first factory to the area surrounding the second factory, the operation unit 109 accepts the operation. The change unit 107 changes the facility layout of the company based on the operation received by the operation unit 109. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the information processing device 100 according to this embodiment. The change unit 107 creates a new "Assembly Line A" in the sub-category, which is a lower level than the second factory. The change unit 107 associates the identification information of the newly created "Assembly Line A" with the folder "Assembly Line A" and the watt-hour meter number "WhM10." Furthermore, the change unit 107 acquires the assembly A production quantity associated with Pulse 6 and associates the acquired assembly A production quantity with the second factory. As a result, the assembly A production quantity on assembly line A is added to the assembly B production quantity of the second factory. This makes it possible to measure the basic unit.

[0046] The change unit 107 acquires information indicating the amount of power supplied to assembly line A that is associated with the identification information of assembly line A from the storage unit 110. The change unit 107 stores the acquired information indicating the amount of power supplied to assembly line A in the storage unit 110 in association with the identification information of assembly line A. The change unit 107 deletes from the storage unit 110 the information indicating the amount of power supplied to assembly line A and the production quantity of assembly A that is associated with the identification information of assembly line A of the first factory.

Furthermore, some or all of these functional units may be realized by hardware (including circuitry) such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware.

[0048] (Operation of information processing device 100) Fig. 8 is a flow diagram showing an example of the operation of the information processing device 100 according to this embodiment. With reference to Fig. 8, a process in which the information processing device 100 creates report data based on the supplied power amount information and the generated power amount information will be described. Here, it is assumed that the supplied power amount information is stored in the cloud server 3.

[0049] (Step S1-1) The communication unit 102 receives the supply power amount information notification transmitted by the cloud server 3.

[0062] With this configuration, when an operation to include the first assembly line in the second assembly line is performed, the information processing device 100 can associate information indicating the first amount of supplied power, which is associated with the identification information of the first assembly line, with the identification information of the second assembly line. Therefore, compared to changing the registration information of the circuit that measures the first amount of supplied power, the information indicating the first amount of supplied power can be associated (linked) with the identification information of the second assembly line with a simple operation such as drag and drop. Furthermore, changes to power supply equipment or addition of power generation equipment on-site can be performed with a simple operation. Furthermore, implementation costs can be kept low.
