[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an energy supply plan formulation support device, an energy supply plan formulation support system, and an energy supply plan formulation support method that support the formulation of a supply plan for energy supply equipment. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, there has been a demand for efficient energy management with the aim of improving economic efficiency or reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and systems have been developed that utilize technologies such as combinations of different energy supply devices, energy trading between multiple regions, or demand response (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[0004] A technology has been developed to create supply and demand plans for multiple energy sources, such as electricity, heat, and steam. The aim of this technology is to improve the balance between energy supply and demand or to improve the balance of income and expenditures, and it calculates the output or activation / deactivation of controllable devices based on demand or supply forecast information given as input.

[0005] However, situations do not always occur as predicted, and the operation of each piece of equipment changes depending on the situation, necessitating changes to the operation plan. When modifying the operation plan of energy supply equipment that uses the potential energy of water or fuel, or of demand equipment that consumes that energy to operate, resources such as water volume or fuel, as well as the operation of the equipment, are affected. Specifically, the start and stop of equipment targeted by the operation plan, or changes to the supply volume and operation volume, result in changes to personnel allocation and equipment operation, and also in changes to the amount of resources, production volume, and operation results, making stable management and operation impossible.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made to solve such problems, and aims to provide an energy supply plan formulation support device, an energy supply plan formulation support system, and an energy supply plan formulation support method that enable target equipment to be operated without changing the operation plan. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] <First Embodiment> <Configuration> 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an energy supply plan formulation support system according to Embodiment 1. The energy supply plan formulation support system according to Embodiment 1 includes an energy supply plan formulation support device 1001 and a data storage unit 16. The energy supply plan formulation support device 1001 includes an appliance information reading processing unit 1, a plan reading processing unit 2, an operation assumption setting processing unit 3, a difference calculation processing unit 4, an adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5, an evaluation calculation processing unit 6, and an evaluation result output processing unit 7. Note that, although an example is shown in which the data storage unit 16 is located outside the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001, the present invention is not limited to this, and the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001 may include the data storage unit 16 internally.

[0011] The device information reading processing unit 1 reads device information data 11 related to devices (plan target devices) required for plan formulation by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001. The device information data 11 is stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0012] The plan reading processing unit 2 reads plan data 12 necessary for plan formulation by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001. The plan data 12 is stored in the data storage unit 16. The plan data 12 includes at least operation plan data for the devices included in the device information data 11.

[0013] The operation assumption setting processing unit 3 reads the operation assumption data 13 and assumes how the devices included in the device information data 11 will behave when actually operated. The operation assumption data 13 is stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0014] The difference calculation processing unit 4 compares the plan data 12 with the operation assumption data 13 for the equipment included in the equipment information data 11, calculates the difference occurring between the plan and the operation assumption, and creates operation assumption difference data 17. Note that while FIG. 1 shows an example in which the operation assumption difference data 17 is stored inside the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation assumption difference data 17 may be stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0015] The adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 conducts an examination to eliminate the difference indicated in the operation assumption difference data 17 by utilizing the equipment included in the equipment information data 11. The equipment for eliminating the difference is an adjustment target equipment that is an equipment to be adjusted among the equipment included in the equipment information data 11. The adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 creates adjustment allowance utilization data 14 based on the examination results.

[0016] The evaluation calculation processing unit 6 evaluates the results of the difference elimination by utilizing the adjustment allowance based on the adjustment allowance utilization data 14, and creates the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15.

[0017] The evaluation result output processing unit 7 outputs adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15. The adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 are stored in a data storage unit 16.

[0018] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the energy supply plan formulation support system according to the first embodiment. The energy supply plan formulation support system includes an input device 21, a computer 22, an external storage device 27, and an output device 28. The computer 22 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 23, a main storage device 24, and an auxiliary storage device 25. The computer 22 corresponds to the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001 shown in Fig. 1. The computer 22 and the external storage device 27 are connected to each other via a network 26 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0019] The functions of the equipment information reading processor 1, plan reading processor 2, operation assumption setting processor 3, difference calculation processor 4, adjustment margin utilization study processor 5, evaluation calculation processor 6, and evaluation result output processor 7 shown in FIG. 1 are realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software or firmware is written as a program and stored in the auxiliary storage device 25. The CPU 23 realizes each function by reading and executing the program recorded in the auxiliary storage device 25. It can also be said that these programs cause the computer 22 to execute the procedures or methods of the equipment information reading processor 1, plan reading processor 2, operation assumption setting processor 3, difference calculation processor 4, adjustment margin utilization study processor 5, evaluation calculation processor 6, and evaluation result output processor 7.

[0020] In addition, with regard to each function of the equipment information reading processing unit 1, plan reading processing unit 2, operation assumption setting processing unit 3, difference calculation processing unit 4, adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5, evaluation calculation processing unit 6, and evaluation result output processing unit 7, some functions may be realized by dedicated hardware and other functions may be realized by software or firmware.

[0021] <Operation> FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting apparatus 1001 according to the first embodiment.

[0022] In step S1, the device information reading processing unit 1 executes a device information reading process. In this process, the device information reading processing unit 1 reads device information data 11. Here, the device information data 11 read by the device information reading processing unit 1 may be device information data 11 input from the input device 21, or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the device information data 11 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the device information data 11 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The device information reading processing unit 1 can read the device information data 11 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The device information data 11 read by the device information reading processing unit 1 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0023] The device information data 11 is information related to plan target devices handled by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1001. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the device information data 11. The device information data 11 includes information such as the name of the device, the type of resource or energy that the device supplies, consumes, or stores, and the characteristics of the device when it handles the resource or energy, such as supplying, consuming, or storing the resource or energy.

[0024] The characteristics of the equipment may be expressed as a fixed value or as a polynomial. For example, if the planned equipment consumes resources and supplies energy, it can be expressed as a linear characteristic equation as shown in Equation (1).

[0025]

number

[0026] In equation (1), "i" represents the individual number of the device, "t" represents time, "x" and "y" represent the energy identification number, "EneOut" represents the supplied energy, "SourceIn" represents the consumed resource, and "a" represents the coefficient used in the calculation. "x" is used to identify the type of supplied energy when there are multiple sources, and "y" is used to identify the type of consumed resource when there are multiple sources.

[0027] In equation (1), the characteristics are expressed as linear expressions, but they may also be expressed as quadratic expressions, polynomial expressions, or discrete expressions. Furthermore, the consumed resource may be fuel or energy supply generated by other equipment, and may have coefficients that vary depending on its heat quantity, quality, state, or temperature. For example, if the equipment being planned has the characteristic of storing and supplying energy, it is expressed by equation (2).

[0028]

number

[0029] In equation (2), "EneStorage" represents the amount of stored energy, "EneChg" represents the amount of stored energy, and "EneSup" represents the amount of supplied energy. "α" represents the coefficient when storing energy, and "β" represents the coefficient when supplying energy. "EneLoss" represents the amount of energy lost when energy continues to be stored.

[0030] Specifically, if the equipment being planned is a boiler, the boiler burns fuel to supply steam, and the boiler's characteristics are generally expressed as the relationship between the amount of steam generated and the amount of fuel consumed. If the equipment being planned is a storage battery, the stored energy is electricity, the supplied energy is the discharge of the stored electricity, and the consumed energy is electricity received from an external source. The characteristics of a storage battery are defined by the efficiency and loss during discharge or charging, and the loss of electricity due to continued storage of electricity. These are just examples, and the equipment being planned is not limited to these.

[0031] In step S2, the plan reading processing unit 2 executes a plan reading process. In this process, the plan reading processing unit 2 reads the plan data 12. Here, the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 may be the plan data 12 input from the input device 21, may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the plan data 12 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the plan data 12 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The plan reading processing unit 2 can read the plan data 12 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0032] The plan data 12 includes information that plans the operation of the devices included in the device information data 11. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the plan data 12. The plan data 12 includes, for example, information indicating the output when each device is operating. As information for each device per unit time of the plan, if the device is in a stopped state, a value of "0" is stored, and if the device is in operation, the value of the energy supply amount is stored. The plan data 12 may also include an operation / stop state that indicates whether each device is in an operating state or a stopped state per unit time. Whether the device is in an operating state or a stopped state is expressed by equation (3).

[0033]

number

[0034] In equation (3), "UC" represents either "1" indicating that the device i is in operation at time t, or "0" indicating that the device i is in a stopped state.

[0035] The planning data 12 is not limited to the value of the energy supply amount, but may also be the amount of resource supply, the amount of resource consumption, or the amount of energy consumption, or the amount of stored resources or energy for equipment that can store them. Furthermore, in addition to information about equipment included in the equipment information data 11, the planning data 12 may also include information about demand included as a planning target. Here, information about demand may include, for example, electricity demand, steam demand, or heat demand.

[0036] In step S3, the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 executes an operation assumption setting process. In this process, the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 reads the operation assumption data 13. Here, the operation assumption data 13 read by the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 may be operation assumption data 13 input from the input device 21, may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the operation assumption data 13 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the operation assumption data 13 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The operation assumption setting processing unit 3 can read the operation assumption data 13 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The operation assumption data 13 read by the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0037] The operation assumption data 13 includes information that assumes the operation of the equipment included in the equipment information data 11. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation assumption data 13. The operation assumption data 13 includes, for example, information such as the start / stop or output of each equipment, similar to the plan data 12. For each equipment, information for each unit time of the plan is stored, with a value of "0" if the equipment is stopped and a value of the energy supply amount if the equipment is operating. During operation, it is desirable for each equipment to be operated according to the plan data 12. However, in reality, changes in weather information or work schedules may require operation that differs from the plan data 12. The operation assumption data 13 assumes such an operation and may or may not be the same as the plan data 12. Similarly, the operation assumption data 13 may include expected information for each demand, and may or may not be the same as the plan data 12. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, bold text indicates information that differs from the plan data 12.

[0038] In step S4, the difference calculation processing unit 4 executes a difference calculation process. In this process, the difference calculation processing unit 4 generates operation assumption difference data 17 from the difference (difference) between the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 in step S2 and the operation assumption data 13 read by the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 in step S3. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the operation assumption difference data 17. The operation assumption difference data 17 represents, for example, the difference in the stopped operation state of equipment based on the difference between the plan data 12 and the operation assumption data 13. In FIG. 7, a value of "0" for an equipment indicates that there is no difference. A value of "1" for an equipment indicates that the plan data 12 is stopped and the operation assumption data 13 is operating. A value of "-1" for an equipment indicates that the plan data 12 is operating and the operation assumption data 13 is stopped. Note that each demand is represented as "0" here, since it does not represent equipment.

[0039] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing another example of the operation assumption difference data 17. In Fig. 8, the difference in the value of the energy supply amount and the difference in the value of the demand are represented as the operation assumption difference data 17. If the operation assumption data 13 increases, the value is positive, and if it decreases, the value is negative.

[0040] In step S5, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 executes an adjustment fee utilization examination process. In this process, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 creates adjustment fee utilization data 14 that attempts to eliminate the difference by utilizing adjustment target devices that are the devices to be adjusted, among the devices included in the device information data 11, based on the operation assumption difference data 17 created by the difference calculation processing unit 4 in step S4.

[0041] For example, in the operation assumption difference data 17, when the equipment operation assumption data 13 indicates a decrease in energy supply, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 increases the energy supply by the adjustment target equipment. Specifically, when the heat supply of chiller A, which is the planned target equipment, decreases to "-2", the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 increases the heat supply of the heat storage tank, which is the adjustment target equipment, to "+2" as shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the adjustment fee utilization data 14.

[0042] On the other hand, when the value of the demand operation assumption data 13 increases in the operation assumption difference data 17, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 increases the energy supply of the adjustment target device. Specifically, when the power demand increases to "+10", the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 balances the demand by discharging the storage battery, which is the adjustment target device, and supplying "+10" energy, as shown in FIG. 9.

[0043] In step S6, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 executes an evaluation calculation process. In this process, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 evaluates the response to the operation assumption data 13 based on the adjustment fee utilization data 14 created by the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5, and creates adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15. Equation (4) shows an example of an equation for calculating the evaluation value.

[0044]

number

[0045] In addition, in formula (4), "α1" represents a coefficient by which the value of the operation assumption difference data 17 is multiplied, and "EneDiff" represents the value of the operation assumption difference data 17. "j" represents the equipment to be adjusted, "β1" represents a coefficient by which the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 of the equipment to be adjusted is multiplied, and "AdjVal" represents the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14. The evaluation value increases as the value of the operation assumption difference data 17 increases, and decreases as the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 increases. In other words, the evaluation value can be reduced by covering the difference that occurs in the operation assumption with the equipment to be adjusted, so the smaller the evaluation value, the better the evaluation.

[0046] Furthermore, in equation (4), the Cost function represents the cost incurred by the argument, "γ1" represents the coefficient by which the cost incurred by the value of the operation assumption difference data 17 is multiplied, and "δ1" represents the coefficient by which the cost incurred by the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 of the adjustment target equipment is multiplied. The evaluation value becomes smaller as the cost incurred by the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 is smaller relative to the cost incurred by the value of the operation assumption difference data 17. In other words, the evaluation value can be made smaller as the cost incurred by operating the adjustment target equipment is smaller.

[0047] Furthermore, in equation (4), "w1" represents the coefficient by which the evaluation value for the first half value is multiplied, and "w2" represents the coefficient by which the evaluation value for the second half cost is multiplied, and these are values ​​for adjusting the respective weights.

[0048] In formula (4), the evaluation is performed using the value of the operation assumption difference data 17 and the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14, but this is not limited to this. The evaluation value may be, for example, a quadratic expression obtained using quadratic terms, and different coefficients may be prepared for the positive and negative values ​​of the operation assumption difference data 17 and the adjustment allowance utilization data 14. Furthermore, the evaluation may be performed using the value of the operation assumption difference data 17 that targets the operation stop state of the equipment.

[0049] In step S7, the evaluation result output processing unit 7 executes an evaluation result output process. In this process, the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 created by the adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 created by the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 in step S6 are output and stored in the data storage unit 16. The evaluation result output processing unit 7 may also display the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 on the output device 28 so that the user can check the contents.

[0050] <Effects> The energy supply plan development support device 1001 according to the first embodiment includes an equipment information reading processing unit 1 that reads equipment information data 11, a plan reading processing unit 2 that reads plan data 12, an operation assumption setting processing unit 3 that reads operation assumption data 13, a difference calculation processing unit 4 that generates operation assumption difference data 17 indicating the difference between the plan data 12 and the operation assumption data 13, an adjustment margin utilization examination processing unit 5 that examines the utilization of adjustment target equipment based on the operation assumption difference data 17 and generates adjustment margin utilization data 14, an evaluation calculation processing unit 6 that evaluates the adjustment margin utilization data 14 and generates adjustment margin utilization evaluation data 15, and an evaluation result output processing unit 7 that outputs the adjustment margin utilization data 14 and the adjustment margin utilization evaluation data 15. This allows the difference between plan data 12 for the plan target equipment included in the equipment information data 11 and operation assumption data 13 that assumes actual operation to be calculated, and the difference can be resolved by the adjustment target equipment. This makes it possible to operate the plan target equipment without changing the operation plan.

[0051] <Embodiment 2> <Configuration> FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an energy supply plan formulation support system according to the second embodiment. The energy supply plan formulation support system according to the second embodiment includes an energy supply plan formulation support device 1002 and a data storage unit 16. The energy supply plan formulation support device 1002 is characterized by including a market information reading processing unit 41 and a market assumption setting processing unit 42. The data storage unit 16 is characterized by storing market information data 51 and market assumption data 52. The other configurations are the same as those of the energy supply plan formulation support system according to the first embodiment (see FIG. 1). However, the energy supply plan formulation support device 1002 does not include the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 shown in FIG. 1. The data storage unit 16 does not store the operation assumption data 13 shown in FIG. 1.

[0052] The energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1002 may include the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 shown in Fig. 1. The data storage unit 16 may store the operation assumption data 13 shown in Fig. 1.

[0053] In the following, the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1002 will be described mainly with respect to the different parts from the first embodiment, and explanations of the same parts will be omitted.

[0054] The market information reading processing unit 41 reads market information data 51 required for planning by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1002. The market information data 51 is stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0055] The market assumption setting processing unit 42 reads the market assumption data 52 and sets movements when trading in the market included in the market information data 51. The market assumption data 52 is stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0056] <Operation> 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1002 according to Embodiment 2. The following mainly describes the parts that are different from the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1001 according to Embodiment 1.

[0057] In step S11, the market information reading processor 41 executes a market information reading process. In this process, the market information reading processor 41 reads market information data 51. Here, the market information data 51 read by the market information reading processor 41 may be market information data 51 input from the input device 21, may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market information data 51 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market information data 51 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The market information reading processor 41 is capable of reading the market information data 51 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The market information data 51 read by the market information reading processor 41 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0058] The market information data 51 is information about the markets in which energy is traded, handled by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1002. The market information data 51 includes information about markets that can be participated in, the type of energy traded in that market, the time unit in which the trade is made, the unit of physical volume or energy volume, and the price per unit. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the market information data 51, showing the price per unit volume of energy traded in the market per unit time. The price may be a predicted price in a market linked to another system, or may refer to past trading prices in the same market.

[0059] In step S2, the plan reading processing unit 2 executes a plan reading process. In this process, the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 differs from that of the first embodiment in that it includes transactions in the market. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the plan data 12. As shown in FIG. 13, the plan data 12 includes information on transactions in each market in addition to the plan data 12 of the first embodiment. Although FIG. 13 shows a case in which information on the amount of electricity purchased in each market is included, information on the amount of sales may also be used. Alternatively, it may be the trading volume of a commodity called ΔkW, as in transactions in a supply and demand adjustment market.

[0060] In step S12, the market assumption setting processing unit 42 executes a market assumption setting process. In this process, the market assumption setting processing unit 42 reads market assumption data 52. Here, the market assumption data 52 read by the market assumption setting processing unit 42 may be market assumption data 52 input from the input device 21, may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market assumption data 52 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market assumption data 52 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The market assumption setting processing unit 42 can read the market assumption data 52 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The market assumption data 52 read by the market assumption setting processing unit 42 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0061] The market assumption data 52 includes information that is included in the market information data 51 and that assumes the results of actual transactions in the market. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the market assumption data 52. The market assumption data 52 includes, for example, information about the market that is included in the plan data 12. In FIG. 14, the market assumption data 52 shows values ​​that are assumed to be the results when the planned values ​​of the electricity purchase amounts in each market that are included in the plan data 12 shown in FIG. 13 are actually traded. Market transactions may result in results that differ from the plan data 12 due to the influence of other market participants. The values ​​shown in FIG. 14 show cases where different results occur in some unit times. Note that while FIG. 14 shows an assumption of the electricity purchase amount, it may also be an assumption of the electricity sales amount, or an assumed value of the expected amount of ΔkW trading or the expected amount of kWh activated for a ΔkW agreement.

[0062] In step S4, the difference calculation processing unit 4 executes a difference calculation process. In this process, the difference calculation processing unit 4 generates market assumption difference data 53 from the difference (difference) between the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 in step S2 and the market assumption data 52 read by the market assumption setting processing unit 42 in step S12. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the market assumption difference data 53. The market assumption difference data 53 in FIG. 15 indicates, for example, the difference in market purchase volume due to the difference between the plan data 12 and the market assumption data 52. In FIG. 15, negative values ​​indicate a decrease in the purchase volume, and positive values ​​indicate an increase in the purchase volume. When assuming a KWh activation volume for a ΔkW contract, a value less than ΔkW is calculated, and the difference relative to the case where the entire ΔkW is activated is calculated. Note that FIG. 10 shows an example in which the operational market assumption difference data 53 is stored inside the energy supply plan formulation support device 1002, but this is not limiting, and the market assumption difference data 53 may be stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0063] In step S5, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 executes an adjustment fee utilization examination process. In this process, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 attempts to eliminate the difference by utilizing the adjustment target equipment included in the equipment information data 11 based on the market assumption difference data 53 created by the difference calculation processing unit 4 in step S4. For example, if the market purchase amount decreases in the market assumption difference data 53, the adjustment target equipment increases its energy supply. Specifically, if the market purchase amount decreases and becomes "-10" in the market assumption difference data 53, the power supply of the storage battery becomes "+10" and discharges. On the other hand, if the market purchase amount increases and becomes "+5", the power supply of the storage battery becomes "-5" and balance is achieved by charging.

[0064] The remaining capacity of a storage battery changes as it is charged and discharged. Therefore, for example, when discharging, it is necessary to ensure that the remaining capacity necessary for discharging is secured, and furthermore, charging is necessary to prevent the remaining capacity from exceeding the upper and lower limits. On the other hand, when charging, it is necessary to have a surplus remaining capacity necessary for charging, and it is also necessary to discharge so that the remaining capacity does not exceed the upper and lower limits. These charging and discharging to satisfy the upper and lower limits of the remaining capacity may be performed using an adjustment fee, or may be performed by purchasing or selling electricity on the market.

[0065] In step S6, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 executes an evaluation calculation process. In this process, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 evaluates the response to the market assumption data 52 based on the adjustment fee utilization data 14 created by the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5. The following formula (5) is an example of a formula for calculating the evaluation value.

[0066]

number

[0067] In equation (5), "α2" represents the coefficient by which the value of market assumption difference data 53 is multiplied, and "TradeDiff" represents the value of market assumption difference data 53. Furthermore, "k" represents the product traded in the market, and "γ2" represents the coefficient by which the value of adjustment allowance utilization data 14 of the adjustment target device is multiplied. The larger the value of market assumption difference data 53, the larger this evaluation value becomes, and the larger the value of adjustment allowance utilization data 14, the smaller the evaluation value becomes. In other words, the evaluation value can be reduced by covering the difference that occurs in the market assumption with the adjustment target device, so the smaller the evaluation value, the better the evaluation.

[0068] In equation (5), "w3" represents the coefficient by which the evaluation value for the difference and adjustment amount in the first half is multiplied, and "w4" represents the coefficient by which the evaluation value for the cost in the second half is multiplied. "w3" and "w4" are values ​​for adjusting the weights, respectively.

[0069] In formula (5), the evaluation is performed using the value of the market assumption difference data 53 and the value of the adjustment allowance utilization data 14, but this is not limited to this. For example, a quadratic formula obtained using quadratic terms may be used, and different coefficients may be prepared for the positive and negative values ​​of the market assumption difference data 53 and the adjustment allowance utilization data 14.

[0070] In step S7, the evaluation result output processing unit 7 executes an evaluation result output process. In this process, the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 created by the adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 created by the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 in step S6 are output and stored in the data storage unit 16. The evaluation result output processing unit 7 may also display the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 on the output device 28 so that the user can check the contents.

[0071] <Effects> The energy supply plan formulation support device 1002 according to the second embodiment includes an appliance information reading processing unit 1 that reads appliance information data 11, a market information reading processing unit 41 that reads market information data 51, a plan reading processing unit 2 that reads plan data 12, a market assumption setting processing unit 42 that reads market assumption data 52, a difference calculation processing unit 4 that generates market assumption difference data 53 indicating the difference between the plan data 12 and the market assumption data 52, an adjustment fee utilization consideration processing unit 5 that considers the utilization of the adjustment target appliance based on the market assumption difference data 53 and generates adjustment fee utilization data 14, an evaluation calculation processing unit 6 that evaluates the adjustment fee utilization data 14 and generates adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15, and an evaluation result output processing unit 7 that outputs the adjustment fee utilization data 14 and the adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15. This allows the difference between the plan data 12, including the market trading plan, and the market assumption data 52, which is assumed to be actually traded in the market, to be calculated, and the difference can be resolved by the adjustment target appliance. This makes it possible to operate the plan target appliance without changing the operation plan.

[0072] <Third Embodiment> <Configuration> Fig. 16 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 3. The energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 3 includes an energy supply plan formulation support device 1003 and a data storage unit 16. The energy supply plan formulation support device 1003 is characterized by including a performance reading processing unit 71. The data storage unit 16 is characterized by storing performance information data 81. The other configurations are the same as those of the energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 1 (see Fig. 1). However, the energy supply plan formulation support device 1003 does not include the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 shown in Fig. 1. The data storage unit 16 does not store the operation assumption data 13 shown in Fig. 1.

[0073] The energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1003 may include the operation assumption setting processing unit 3 shown in Fig. 1. The data storage unit 16 may store the operation assumption data 13 shown in Fig. 1.

[0074] In the following, the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1003 will be described mainly with respect to the different parts from the first embodiment, and explanations of the same parts will be omitted.

[0075] The performance reading processing unit 71 reads performance information data 81 required for planning by the energy supply plan formulation support device 1003. The performance information data 81 is stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0076] <Operation> 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1003 according to Embodiment 3. The following mainly describes the parts that are different from the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1001 according to Embodiment 1.

[0077] In step S21, the performance reading processing unit 71 executes performance information reading processing. In this processing, the performance reading processing unit 71 reads performance information data 81. Here, the performance information data 81 read by the performance reading processing unit 71 may be market information data 51 input from the input device 21, or may be data designated by the input device 21 from performance information data 81 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from performance information data 81 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The performance reading processing unit 71 can read the performance information data 81 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The performance information data 81 read by the performance reading processing unit 71 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0078] The performance information data 81 includes information on the results of operation of the equipment included in the equipment information data 11. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the performance information data 81. The performance information data 81 includes, for example, information on the start / stop or output of each piece of equipment, similar to the plan data 12, and is a record of information indicating whether the equipment was in an operating state or a stopped state during operation, or a record of the output value in the operating state. Note that Fig. 18 also shows the fuel consumption of the gas turbine A.

[0079] In step S4, the difference calculation processing unit 4 executes difference calculation processing. In this processing, the difference calculation processing unit 4 creates actual difference data 82 from the difference (difference) between the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 in step S2 and the actual result information data 81 read by the actual result reading processing unit 71 in step S21. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the actual difference data 82. The actual difference data 82 is expressed in the same way as the operation assumption difference data 17. The fuel consumption of gas turbine A shown in FIG. 19 indicates that the fuel consumption amount has also decreased due to a decrease in the power supply and steam supply to gas turbine A. Note that while FIG. 16 shows an example in which the actual difference data 82 is stored inside the energy supply plan formulation support device 1003, the present invention is not limited to this, and the actual difference data 82 may be stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0080] In step S5, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 executes an adjustment fee utilization examination process. In this process, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 attempts to eliminate the difference by utilizing the adjustment target equipment included in the equipment information data 11, based on the actual result difference data 82 created by the difference calculation processing unit 4 in step S4. Here, in the actual result difference data 82, fuel consumption has decreased by a total of 20, and by increasing fuel consumption by 20 in the future, fuel consumption can be restored to the planned level. For example, in the plan for the next day, fuel consumption is increased by increasing the power supply of gas turbine A. At that time, the increased power supply is charged to a storage battery, which is the adjustment target equipment, thereby balancing the supply and demand of power.

[0081] In step S6, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 executes the evaluation calculation process. In this process, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 evaluates the response to the performance information data 81 based on the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 created by the adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5. The following formula (6) is an example of a formula for calculating the evaluation value.

[0082]

number

[0083] In equation (6), "α3" represents the coefficient by which the value of the fuel storage actual difference data 82 is multiplied, and "FuelDiff" represents the value of the actual difference data 82. Furthermore, "k" represents the fuel storage equipment, and "β3" represents the coefficient by which the fuel storage value is multiplied. This evaluation value continues to accumulate the fuel storage difference value until the fuel storage is returned to the planned value using the equipment to be adjusted. In other words, the faster the fuel storage is returned to its original value, the smaller the evaluation value, and therefore the smaller the evaluation value, the better the evaluation.

[0084] In step S7, the evaluation result output processing unit 7 executes an evaluation result output process. In this process, the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 created by the adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 created by the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 in step S6 are output and stored in the data storage unit 16. The evaluation result output processing unit 7 may also display the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 on the output device 28 so that the user can check the contents.

[0085] <Effects> The energy supply plan development support device 1003 according to the third embodiment includes an appliance information reading processor 1 that reads appliance information data 11, a plan reading processor 2 that reads plan data 12, an actual result reading processor 71 that reads actual result information data 81, a difference calculation processor 4 that generates actual result difference data 82 indicating the difference between the plan data 12 and the actual result information data 81, an adjustment allowance utilization examination processor 5 that examines the utilization of the adjustment target appliance based on the actual result difference data 82 and generates adjustment allowance utilization data 14, an evaluation calculation processor 6 that evaluates the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and generates adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15, and an evaluation result output processor 7 that outputs the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15. This allows the difference resulting from the actual results of actual operation of the plan target appliance, compared with the plan data 12 for the plan target appliance included in the appliance information data 11, to be calculated, and the difference can be resolved by the adjustment target appliance. This makes it possible to operate the plan target appliance without changing the operation plan, and to restore the operation of resources related to the plan target appliance to the planned operation.

[0086] <Fourth Embodiment> <Configuration> Fig. 20 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an energy supply plan formulation support system according to the fourth embodiment.

The data storage unit 16 is characterized by storing market performance information data 101. The other configurations are the same as those of the energy supply plan formulation support system according to the second embodiment (see Fig. 10). However, the energy supply plan formulation support device 1004 does not include the market assumption setting processing unit 42 shown in Fig. 10. The data storage unit 16 does not store the market assumption data 52 shown in Fig. 10.

[0087] The energy supply plan formulation support device 1004 may include a market assumption setting processing unit 42 shown in Fig. 10. The data storage unit 16 may store the market assumption data 52 shown in Fig. 1.

[0088] In the following, the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1004 will be described mainly with respect to the different parts from the second embodiment, and explanations of the same parts will be omitted.

[0089] The market performance information reading processing unit 91 reads the market performance information data 101 and stores it in the data storage unit 16 .

[0090] <Operation> 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1004 according to Embodiment 4. The following mainly describes the parts that are different from the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1002 according to Embodiment 2.

[0091] In step S11, the market performance information reading processor 91 executes a market performance information reading process. In this process, the market performance information reading processor 91 reads market performance information data 101. Here, the market performance information data 101 read by the market performance information reading processor 91 may be market performance information data 101 input from the input device 21, or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market performance information data 101 stored in the auxiliary storage device 25 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format), or may be data designated by the input device 21 from among the market performance information data 101 stored in the external storage device 27 (for example, an electronic file stored in CSV format). The market performance information reading processor 91 can read the market performance information data 101 stored in the external storage device 27 via the network 26. The market performance information data 101 read by the market performance information reading processor 91 is expanded in the main storage device 24.

[0092] FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of market performance information data 101. The market performance information data 101 includes information on the results of actual transactions in the markets included in the market information data 51. The market performance information data 101 includes, for example, information on the markets included in the plan data 12. The market performance information data 101 shown in FIG. 22 indicates values ​​that have been agreed upon as a result of actual transactions, relative to the planned values ​​of the amount of electricity purchased in each market included in the plan data 12. The market performance information data 101 may also include information on market agreement prices. The values ​​shown in FIG. 22 indicate cases where the results differ from the plan in some unit times. The market performance information data 101 is not limited to the amount of electricity purchased, and may also be actual electricity sales volume, ΔkW transaction volume, or kWh usage volume relative to ΔkW agreement.

[0093] In step S4, the difference calculation processing unit 4 executes the difference calculation processing. In this processing, the difference calculation processing unit 4 creates market performance difference data 102 from the difference (difference) between the plan data 12 read by the plan reading processing unit 2 in step S2 and the market performance information data 101 read by the market performance information reading processing unit 91 in step S31. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of the market performance difference data 102. The market performance difference data 102 shown in FIG. 23 represents the difference between the values ​​of each device or the difference in the value of the purchase amount in the market, similar to the operation assumption difference data 17 or the market assumption difference data 53. Note that while FIG. 20 shows an example in which the market performance difference data 102 is stored inside the energy supply plan formulation support device 1004, the present invention is not limited to this, and the market performance difference data 102 may be stored in the data storage unit 16.

[0094] In step S5, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 executes an adjustment fee utilization examination process. In this process, the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 attempts to eliminate the difference by utilizing the adjustment target equipment included in the equipment information data 11, based on the market performance difference data 102 created by the difference calculation processing unit 4 in step S4. The method of eliminating the difference may be, for example, similar to the method based on the performance difference data 82 described in the third embodiment, by operating each equipment to increase or decrease fuel consumption and charging / discharging the storage battery.

[0095] In step S6, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 executes an evaluation calculation process. In this process, the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 evaluates the response to the market performance information data 101 based on the adjustment fee utilization data 14 created by the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5. The evaluation method may be the same as, for example, the evaluation calculation process described in the third embodiment.

[0096] In step S7, the evaluation result output processing unit 7 executes an evaluation result output process. In this process, the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 created by the adjustment allowance utilization examination processing unit 5 in step S5 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 created by the evaluation calculation processing unit 6 in step S6 are output and stored in the data storage unit 16. The evaluation result output processing unit 7 may also display the adjustment allowance utilization data 14 and the adjustment allowance utilization evaluation data 15 on the output device 28 so that the user can check the contents.

[0097] <Effects> The energy supply plan development support device 1004 according to the fourth embodiment includes an appliance information reading processor 1 that reads appliance information data 11, a plan reading processor 2 that reads plan data 12, a market performance information reading processor 91 that reads market performance information data 101, a difference calculation processor 4 that generates market performance difference data 102 indicating the difference between the plan data 12 and the market performance information data 101, an adjustment fee utilization consideration processor 5 that considers the utilization of the adjustment target appliance based on the market performance difference data 102 and generates adjustment fee utilization data 14, an evaluation calculation processor 6 that evaluates the adjustment fee utilization data 14 and generates adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15, and an evaluation result output processor 7 that outputs the adjustment fee utilization data 14 and the adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15. This allows the difference between the plan data 12, including the market trading plan, and the actual results of market transactions to be calculated, and the difference can be resolved by the adjustment target appliance. This makes it possible to operate the plan target appliance without changing the operation plan, and to restore the operation of resources related to the plan target appliance to the planned operation.

[0098] <Fifth Embodiment> <Configuration> Fig. 24 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 5. The energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 5 includes an energy supply plan formulation support device 1005 and a data storage unit 16. The energy supply plan formulation support device 1005 is characterized by including a market adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 121. The data storage unit 16 is characterized by storing market adjustment fee utilization data 131. The other configurations are the same as those of the energy supply plan formulation support system according to embodiment 4 (see Fig. 20). However, the energy supply plan formulation support device 1005 does not include the adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 shown in Fig. 20. The data storage unit 16 does not store the adjustment fee utilization data 14 shown in Fig. 20.

[0099] The energy supply plan formulation support device 1005 may include an adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 5 shown in Fig. 20. The data storage unit 16 may store adjustment fee utilization data 14 shown in Fig. 20.

[0100] In the following, the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1005 will be described mainly with respect to the different parts from the fourth embodiment, and explanations of the same parts will be omitted.

[0101] The market adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 121 creates market adjustment fee utilization data 131 based on the market performance difference data 102, which utilizes the adjustment target market, which is a market that can be utilized as an adjustment fee, to eliminate the difference.

[0102] <Operation> 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the energy supply plan formulation supporting device 1005 according to Embodiment 5.

[0103] In step S41, the market adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 121 executes a market adjustment fee utilization examination process. In this process, the market adjustment fee utilization examination processing unit 121 attempts to eliminate the difference by utilizing markets that can be used as an adjustment fee (markets subject to adjustment) based on the market performance difference data 102 created by the difference calculation processing unit 4 in step S4, and creates market adjustment fee utilization data 131.

[0104] FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of market adjustment fee utilization data 131. By conducting a transaction that compensates for the market performance difference data 102 in market C that can be used as an adjustment fee, there is no need to change the operation of the equipment that is the subject of the plan. The market that can be used as an adjustment fee is, for example, a market different from the market that is the target of the plan data 12. In the plan data 12, spot transactions are planned, and the contract results are set as market performance information data 101. The market that can be used as an adjustment fee may be an hour-ahead market, and the hour-ahead market may be utilized to eliminate the difference. The method for eliminating the difference is to trade the excess or shortage of the difference in market electricity purchases in the market performance difference data 102 in a market that can be used as an adjustment fee. Accordingly, with regard to the difference in the operation of equipment that is affected by the difference in market transactions, the difference can also be eliminated by enabling the same operation as in the plan data 12.

[0105] <Effects> An energy supply plan formulation support device 1005 according to the fifth embodiment includes an appliance information reading processing unit 1 that reads appliance information data 11, a market information reading processing unit 41 that reads market information data 51, a plan reading processing unit 2 that reads plan data 12, a market performance information reading processing unit 91 that reads market performance information data 101, a difference calculation processing unit 4 that creates market performance difference data 102 indicating the difference between the plan data 12 and the market performance information data 101, a market adjustment fee utilization consideration processing unit 121 that considers market utilization as an adjustment fee based on the market performance difference data 102 and creates market adjustment fee utilization data 131, an evaluation calculation processing unit 6 that evaluates the market adjustment fee utilization data 131 and creates adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15, and an evaluation result output processing unit 7 that outputs the market adjustment fee utilization data 131 and the adjustment fee utilization evaluation data 15. This allows the difference arising from the actual results of trading in the market to be calculated for plan data 12, including a trading plan in the market, and the difference can be resolved by trading in a market that can be used as an adjustment fee. Therefore, it becomes possible to operate the plan-target equipment without changing the operation plan, and it becomes possible to return the total amount of market transactions to operation as planned.
