Solution Overview
Problem
Existing device operation setting apparatuses struggle to maintain the difference between the actually measured consumed power value and the target value within a prescribed range due to device deterioration or environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
A device operation setting apparatus and program that utilize a calculator and determiner to calculate a target consumed power value based on a device model, correcting errors between measured and target values by adjusting setting values, ensuring the difference remains within a specified range.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If a device operation setting apparatus determines setting values based on target consumed power values, then energy optimization is achieved, but device deterioration or environmental conditions cause the difference between actually measured and target consumed power to exceed prescribed ranges
Solution Approach 1:
The system measures the actually consumed power of the device and compares it with the target consumed power value. Based on this feedback, the setting value determination apparatus adjusts the operation setting value to minimize the difference between actual and target power consumption, ensuring the difference remains within a prescribed range despite device deterioration or environmental changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts operation parameters (such as running time, temperature settings, or power levels) of the device based on the measured difference between actual and target consumed power. By changing these operational parameters in response to feedback, the system maintains energy optimization while compensating for device deterioration or environmental conditions.
2Loss of energy
If operation setting values are determined to optimize energy consumption, then energy cost is reduced, but the control accuracy deteriorates when devices age or environmental conditions change
Solution Approach 1:
The setting value determination apparatus continuously monitors the actually measured consumed power and uses this feedback to adjust operation setting values. This closed-loop control ensures that energy cost optimization is maintained while compensating for deviations caused by device aging or environmental changes, thereby preserving control accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static operation settings to dynamic adjustment of setting values. The operation setting values are continuously adapted based on real-time measurements of consumed power, allowing the system to respond to device deterioration and environmental changes while maintaining optimal energy consumption and control accuracy.

AI summary
A device operation setting apparatus includes a calculator and a determiner. The calculator calculates, based at least in part on a relationship between a setting value regarding operation control of a device and a consumed power of a device, a target value of the consumed power of the device. The determiner determines the setting value to cause that a difference between an actually measured consumed power of the device and the target value of the consumed power of the device calculated by the calculator is within a prescribed range.
