Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] A regional EMS (Regional Energy Management System) collects and accumulates energy-related data of a plurality of facility groups that are energy suppliers in a certain region from the facilities within the facilities, and supports energy operations such as prediction, optimal planning, and optimal control through data analysis. In the regional EMS, the energy that needs to be managed in the region is not limited to electric power, but includes various types of energy such as fuel energy and heat energy. The regional EMS needs to manage the supply of these various types of energy and supply energy from the facilities of each energy supply facility to the facilities of each energy supply destination facility.

[0005] Regional Energy Management Systems (EMS) sometimes utilize "visualization," displaying usage data such as the consumption and decarbonization of various energy sources in numerical form. Meanwhile, with growing concern for environmental issues in recent years, efforts and results in energy conservation and decarbonization have significantly impacted the value and evaluation of the companies and other players involved in these efforts. These players include, for example, managers of energy supply facilities, managers of equipment at energy supply facilities, managers of facilities receiving energy supplies, and managers of equipment at facilities receiving energy supplies. If the results of these efforts can be rewarded to these players, their efforts will be further encouraged, environmental problems will be resolved more quickly, and a sustainable circular economy can be built.

[0006] However, the results of energy conservation and decarbonization efforts within regional Energy Management Systems (EMS) were not always fully returned to the companies and other players involved in these initiatives.

[0007] This disclosure is made in light of these circumstances and aims to provide an energy management system, advertising display method, and program that can disseminate the results of energy conservation and decarbonization efforts in regional energy management systems, as well as disseminate advertising information of facilities, equipment, and players participating in regional energy management systems. [Means for solving the problem]

Based on the acquired energy information, the system calculates the index corresponding to the environmental impact, assigns a higher priority to facilities with a low environmental impact than to facilities with a high environmental impact, and outputs advertising information for facilities with a low environmental impact over advertising information for facilities with a high environmental impact. This is a method of displaying advertisements.

[0010] Another aspect of this disclosure involves causing a computer in an information processing device provided in an energy management system including an energy supply facility located in a target area and a plurality of facilities located in the target area that receive energy from the energy supply facility, to perform the following steps: acquire measured energy information for each of the plurality of facilities; calculate an index for each of the plurality of facilities based on the acquired energy information; determine the priority of facilities on which advertising information is displayed based on the index for each of the plurality of facilities; acquire the advertising information; select facilities based on the determined priority and output the advertising information for the selected facilities.

The display device 300 is a display device arranged in the facilities in the target area. The display device 310 is a display device arranged at various locations in areas other than the facilities in the target area. The user terminal device 400 is a terminal device owned by a user who uses the energy management system 1, such as an administrator of the energy supply facility 600 or an administrator of the energy supply destination facility 700.

[0018] The power system 500 includes, for example, a power generation company system 510, a power market procurement system 520, a renewable energy system 530, and a power retail company system 540. The power generation company system 510, the power market procurement system 520, the renewable energy system 530, and the power retail company system 540 are connected to the area energy management device 100 via a communication network.

[0019] The power generator system 510 includes, for example, a power plant, information processing equipment and terminal equipment for managing the power plant. The power generator system 510 supplies the electricity generated at the power plant to energy supply facilities 600 in the target area. The electricity market procurement system 520 includes server equipment to realize an electronic trading system for power generators to sell electricity and for retail electricity companies to buy electricity.

[0020] The energy supply facility 600 is a facility for supplying energy to the energy recipient facility 700. The energy supply facility 600 includes, for example, various energy supply equipment such as CGS. The energy recipient facility 700 is a facility that consumes the energy supplied from the energy supply facility 600. The energy recipient facility 700 may be, for example, a building, a factory, or a commercial facility, and may include various types of equipment such as lighting equipment, air conditioning equipment, and elevator equipment. The energy management system 1 controls the energy supply facilities 600 located in the target area and operates them to supply energy from the energy supply facilities 600 to the energy recipient facilities 700.

[0021] Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the energy management system 1 in the first embodiment. Note that although the functional components shown in Figure 3 are arranged as shown, they may be distributed or centralized in other configurations. The energy management system 1 includes, for example, an area energy management device 100, an operator terminal device 120, an information management device 200, display devices 300, 310, a user terminal device 400, a power supply facility 550, a fuel supply facility 560, an energy supply facility 600, and a plurality of energy supply destination facilities 700A, 700B, ... The power supply facility 550 includes equipment that supplies power to the energy supply facility 600 from the power system 500 described above. The fuel supply facility 560 includes equipment that supplies fuel to the energy supply facility 600.

[0022] The area energy management device 100 is an information processing device that acquires information via a communication network and performs various processing tasks. The area energy management device 100 includes, for example, a control processing unit 110. The control processing unit 110 is implemented, for example, by a computer such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a program stored in program memory.

[0023] The control processing unit 110 calculates, for example, energy demand forecast information for the target area and calculates energy purchase plans, sales plans, and energy storage plans. Energy demand forecast information includes, for example, predicted values ​​of energy demand in one-minute increments for a day. Energy purchase plans include, for example, information showing the amount of energy to be purchased in 10-30 minute increments for a day. Energy sales plans include, for example, information showing the amount of energy to be sold in 10-30 minute increments for a day. Energy storage plans, such as thermal storage plans, include, for example, information showing the amount of energy stored in the energy supply facility 600 in 10-30 minute increments for a day.

[0024] The control processing unit 110 calculates start-up and stop-down plans for multiple pieces of equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 based on energy demand forecast information and energy purchase plans, sales plans, energy storage plans, equipment models, and equipment characteristic information. The start-up and stop-down plans include information such as the start-up and stop-down timings for each piece of equipment included in the energy supply facility 600, in one-minute increments. The control processing unit 110 calculates control target information according to the energy storage plan and the start-up and stop-down plans.

[0025] The control processing unit 110 may output the calculated control target information to the operator terminal device 120. The control processing unit 110 can output the calculated control target information to the equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 and control the equipment. The control processing unit 110 may change the control target information of each piece of equipment based on feedback information from the energy supply facility 600. If the control processing unit 110 changes the control target information, it may notify the operator terminal device 120 of the change in the control target information of each piece of equipment.

[0026] The operator terminal device 120 is an information processing device operated by an operator in the target area. The operator terminal device 120 receives various notifications from the control processing unit 110 and displays the status of each piece of equipment in the energy supply facility 600. Upon receiving an operation from the operator, the operator terminal device 120 transmits control instruction information for the equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 to the area energy management device 100. The control processing unit 110 controls the equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 according to the control instruction information.

[0027] The energy supply facility 600 supplies energy to the energy recipient facility 700. The equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 is, for example, a boiler 602, a CGS (cogeneration system) 604, a cooling tower 606, an absorption chiller 608, a turbo chiller 610, a heat exchanger for heat dissipation 612, a thermal storage tank 614, and media transfer devices (not shown) such as pumps and valves associated with these devices. In this embodiment, the equipment included in the energy supply facility 600 generates energy using electricity supplied from the power supply facility 550 and / or fuel supplied from the fuel supply facility 560. For example, the boiler 602 and the CGS 604 are heating devices that heat the medium. For example, the cooling tower 606, absorption chiller 608, turbo chiller 610, and heat exchanger for heat dissipation 612 are cooling devices that cool the medium. The energy supply facility 600 has a control device (not shown) for controlling the output of each piece of equipment. The control device may include, for example, an output control device dedicated to the equipment, a centralized control device called a central monitoring system, a DCS (Distributed Control System), a PLC (Programmable Control System), and other control terminals. The area energy management device 100 transmits control target information to the control device of the energy supply facility 600 and modifies the operation of the equipment.

[0028] The energy supply destination facilities 700 are customer facilities that consume the energy supplied from the energy supply facility 600. Energy supply destination facilities 700A include, for example, customer facilities such as factories and residences located in the target area. Energy supply destination facilities 700B include, for example, building facilities located in the target area, tenant facilities included in building facilities, etc. Each of the energy supply destination facilities 700A and 700B is equipped with a measurement unit 710. The measurement unit 710 measures the energy information of each energy supply destination facility 700. Energy information is used to calculate indicators for 700 energy supply destination facilities, such as power consumption, power supply or demand, power generation, gas usage, medium flow rate or medium pressure, and power buying and selling. The indicators for 700 energy supply destination facilities are, for example, energy consumption, energy reduction, total energy (energy generation - energy consumption), CO2 emissions or CO2 reduction, and a displayed score that scores these values.

[0029] The information management device 200 includes, for example, an energy information acquisition unit 210, an indicator calculation unit 220, a priority determination unit 230, an advertising information acquisition unit 240, and an output control unit 250. The energy information acquisition unit 210, the indicator calculation unit 220, the priority determination unit 230, the advertising information acquisition unit 240, and the output control unit 250 are implemented, for example, by a computer such as a CPU executing a program stored in program memory.

[0030] The energy information acquisition unit 210 acquires measured energy information for each of the multiple energy supply destination facilities 700. The index calculation unit 220 calculates an index for each of the multiple energy supply destination facilities 700 based on the energy information acquired by the energy information acquisition unit 210. The priority determination unit 230 determines the priority of the energy supply destination facilities 700 on which the advertising information will be displayed, based on the respective indicators of the multiple energy supply destination facilities 700. The advertising information acquisition unit 240 acquires advertising information. The advertising information acquisition unit 240 acquires advertising information in advance from user terminal devices 400 corresponding to energy supply destination facilities 700 participating in the energy management system 1 and stores it in a storage device (not shown). The output control unit 250 selects an energy supply destination facility 700 based on the priority determined by the priority determination unit 230, and outputs advertising information for the selected energy supply destination facility 700.

[0031] Figure 4 shows an example of the operation flow of the energy management system 1 in the first embodiment. First, a user terminal device 400 corresponding to an energy supply facility 700 transmits advertising information (step S100). The advertising information acquisition unit 240 acquires advertising information from the user terminal device 400 (step S102). The measurement unit 710 measures energy information and transmits the measured energy information to the information management device 200 (step S104). The energy information acquisition unit 210 acquires energy information from the energy supply facility 700 (step S106). The index calculation unit 220 calculates an index based on the energy information. The priority determination unit 230 determines the priority of the energy supply facility 700 on which the advertising information is displayed, based on the respective indexes of the multiple energy supply facilities 700 (step S110). The advertising information acquisition unit 240 selects an energy supply facility 700 based on the priority and outputs advertising information for the selected energy supply facility 700 (step S112). The display devices 300 and 310 display information using the advertising information transmitted from the information management device 200 (step S114).

[0032] Figure 5 shows an example of the information to be displayed on the display devices 300 and 310 in the first embodiment. The output control unit 250 outputs, as advertising information, one of the following pieces of information: the location of the energy supply facility 700, the name of the user of the energy supply facility 700, an image of the energy supply facility 700, event information at the energy supply facility 700, or vacancy information at the energy supply facility 700, and the name of the energy supply facility 700. The name of the user of the energy supply facility 700 is, for example, the name of the company or tenant of the building facility. The name of the energy supply facility 600 is, for example, the name of the building facility. The output control unit 250 may also output, as advertising information, information that informs about the energy supply facility 600, such as the amount of electricity supplied, the amount of heat supplied, and the management organization.

[0033] The index calculation unit 220 may calculate an index corresponding to the environmental load based on the energy information acquired by the energy information acquisition unit 210. Environmental load refers to negative impacts on the environment such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste volume. An index corresponding to the environmental load is, for example, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, or waste volume corresponding to the energy supply destination facility 700. The priority determination unit 230 determines a higher priority for energy supply destination facilities 700 with a low environmental load calculated by the index calculation unit 220 than for energy supply destination facilities 700 with a high environmental load. The output control unit 250 can output advertising information for energy supply destination facilities 700 with a low environmental load, prioritizing it over advertising information for energy supply destination facilities 700 with a high environmental load. As a result, the display devices 300 and 310 will preferentially display advertising information for energy supply destination facilities 700 with a low environmental load. Prioritizing display means, for example, displaying it before other energy supply facilities 700 as shown in Figure 5, displaying it in a location that is easier to select than other energy supply facilities 700, displaying it larger than other energy supply facilities 700, displaying it in a more prominent font than other energy supply facilities 700, displaying it with flashing lights, and displaying it in a more emphasized color than other energy supply facilities 700. This allows the information management device 200 to display advertising information for energy supply facilities 700 and facility players in order of decreasing environmental impact.

[0034] The indicator calculation unit 220 may calculate an indicator for each of the multiple display categories. The priority determination unit 230 determines the priority for each of the multiple display categories. The output control unit 250 outputs advertising information for each energy supply destination facility 700 for each of the multiple display categories. The display categories are, for example, as shown in Figure 5, energy saving amount, CO2 reduction amount, comparison with the facility in the past, and comparison with other energy supply destination facilities 700. As a result, the information management device 200 can display advertising information for each energy supply destination facility 700 according to the indicator and priority for each of the multiple display categories, and can display advertising information for many energy supply destination facilities 700 and facility players participating in the regional EMS.

[0035] The output control unit 250 may prioritize the display of advertising information for different energy supply facilities 700 in at least two display categories. For example, as shown in Figure 5, the output control unit 250 may display advertising information for multiple energy supply facilities 700 that have improved CO2 reduction and advertising information for multiple energy supply facilities 700 that have low waste generation. This allows the information management device 200 to display different energy supply facilities 700 in different display categories, preventing the display of advertising information for the same energy supply facility 700 in all categories.

[0036] The indicator calculation unit 220 may calculate an indicator for each user of the energy supply facility 700. Users of the energy supply facility 700 are occupants or tenants of the energy supply facility 700. The priority determination unit 230 determines a priority for each user. The advertising information acquisition unit 240 acquires advertising information for each user. The output control unit 250 outputs advertising information for each user.

[0037] Figure 6 shows another example of the information displayed on the display device in the first embodiment. The output control unit 250 displays images for selecting energy supply facilities 700 based on the user's indicators, for example, displaying energy supply facilities 700 with lower environmental impact at the top of the list. When a user who will use an energy supply facility 700 is selected based on the operation of the advertisement viewer, the advertisement information acquisition unit 240 acquires the advertisement information of the selected user, and the output control unit 250 can display advertisement information such as event information of the selected user. As a result, the information management device 200 can display not only advertisement information of energy supply facilities 700 and facility players, but also advertisement information of tenants and facility managers who will use the energy supply facilities 700.

[0038] As described above, the energy management system 1 of the first embodiment can determine the priority of energy supply destination facilities 700 on which advertising information is displayed based on an index derived from energy information acquired for each of the multiple energy supply destination facilities 700, select energy supply destination facilities 700 based on the priority, and output advertising information for the selected energy supply destination facilities 700. This energy management system 1 can disseminate the results of efforts toward energy conservation and decarbonization in the regional EMS, and can also disseminate advertising information not only from energy supply destination facilities 700 and facility players participating in the regional EMS, but also from tenants and equipment managers who use the energy supply destination facilities 700.

[0039] (Second Embodiment) Figure 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the energy management system 1A in the second embodiment. The energy management system 1A in the second embodiment comprises a first facility management unit 720, a second facility management unit 730, and an area energy management unit 130. The first facility management unit 720 is realized by a computer, such as a BEMS (Building Energy Management System) server, installed in the first energy supply destination facility 700A, which is the first facility, executing a program stored in its program memory. The second facility management unit 730 is realized by a computer, such as a BEMS server, installed in the second energy supply destination facility 700B, which is the second facility, executing a program stored in its program memory. The area energy management unit 130 is realized by a computer, such as a CPU, installed in the area energy management device 100, executing a program stored in its program memory.

[0040] The first facility management unit 720 manages the energy of the first energy supply facility 700A, one of several energy supply facilities 700, based on measured energy information. Energy management by the first facility management unit 720 includes, for example, measuring the amount of energy used within the building, visualizing energy usage based on the measured amount of energy used, and controlling building equipment such as air conditioning and lighting systems. The second facility management unit 730 manages the energy of the second energy supply facility 700B, one of several facilities, based on measured energy information.

[0041] The Area Energy Management Unit 130 performs energy management in the target area, including the first energy supply facility 700A and the second energy supply facility 700B, based on the energy information acquired for the first energy supply facility 700A and the energy information acquired for the second energy supply facility 700B. Energy management by the Area Energy Management Unit 130 includes, for example, acquiring the amount of energy used in the target area, visualizing the energy in the target area based on the acquired energy usage, and controlling the energy supply facilities 700.

[0042] In this energy management system 1A, the index calculation unit 220 calculates an index for the first energy supply facility 700A based on the energy information of the first energy supply facility 700A, and calculates an index for the second energy supply facility 700B based on the energy information of the second energy supply facility 700B. The output control unit 250 outputs either the advertising information for the first energy supply facility 700A or the advertising information for the second energy supply facility 700B, prioritizing the output based on the comparison result of the index for the first energy supply facility 700A and the index for the second energy supply facility 700B.

[0043] As described above, in the second embodiment, when a BEMS is introduced to multiple energy supply facilities 700A and 700B and a regional EMS is introduced to the target area, the energy management system 1A can control each of the multiple energy supply facilities 700A and 700B and change the priority of advertising information for the multiple energy supply facilities 700A and 700B based on the results of a comparison with an indicator. As a result, the energy management system 1A in the second embodiment can disseminate the results of energy conservation and decarbonization efforts for each target area, as well as disseminate advertising information for facilities, equipment, and players participating in the target area.
