Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for resource demand-supply systems, such as air-conditioning and electric power systems, struggle to visualize an executable area based on actual external conditions during operation, making it difficult to assess deviations from optimal operating methods.
Innovation Solution
An operation support system that includes an input unit for receiving demand-supply system models, facility-capacity information, and analysis conditions, a logical formula generator to create correlation formulas, an acquisition unit to gather performance data, and a visualizing unit to render executable areas and actual points based on actual external conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a range of external conditions is determined in advance to visualize an executable area, then the executable area can be visualized based on predetermined conditions, but it becomes impossible to accurately assess deviations from optimal operating methods under actual external conditions during system operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic updating of the executable area visualization by continuously acquiring actual external condition data during system operation and regenerating the correlation logical formula with current values. This transforms the static, predetermined visualization into a dynamic representation that adapts to real-time conditions, allowing accurate assessment of operational deviations while maintaining precision through continuous data refreshment
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where actual external condition data acquired during operation is fed back into the correlation logical formula generation process. This feedback mechanism enables the executable area visualization to be continuously updated with current conditions, resolving the contradiction between predetermined accuracy and real-time adaptability by using actual measured values to regenerate the visualization dynamically
2Ease of operation
If conventional methods are used to determine executable areas with predetermined external conditions, then calculation can be simplified, but the system cannot provide accurate operational assessment under varying actual external conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs self-service by automatically acquiring actual external condition data through integrated measurement apparatus and autonomously regenerating the correlation logical formula without requiring manual intervention. This maintains operational simplicity while significantly improving reliability, as the system self-updates its executable area visualization based on actual conditions rather than relying on predetermined ranges

AI summary
There is provision of an operation support system for supporting an operation of a demand-supply system including a resource supplying facility and a resource demander facility. The operation support system receives an input of a demand-supply system model of the demand-supply system, facility-capacity information of the resource supplying facility, and analysis condition information defining a plurality of variables and an external variable of the demand-supply system, to generate a correlation logical formula representing a relation among the plurality of variables and the external variable. The operation support system further acquires performance data of the demand-supply system which includes actual values of the plurality of variables and the external variable during an operation, and renders an area represented by the correlation logical formula when the external variable is equal to an actual data included in the performance data and a point represented by the performance data of the plurality of variables.
