Description

本発明は、送配電線から受電する複数の受電者の受電量を管理するデマンド管理システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a demand management system that manages the amount of power received by a plurality of power receivers that receive power from a power transmission and distribution line.

従来から電気事業に携わる電力会社や電力市場自由化により電気事業に新規参入した特定規模電気事業者等の電気事業者から送配電線を介して受電する受電者は、所定のデマンド時限(例えば30分)毎の受電量を制限して、所定期間(例えば11ヶ月)におけるその受電量の最大値に応じて設定される契約受電量をできるだけ小さくすることで、契約受電量に応じて設定される電力料金の低減を図る場合がある。   Conventionally, a power receiver who receives power from a power company such as an electric power company engaged in the electric power business or an electric power company such as a specific scale electric power company newly entered into the electric power business by liberalizing the electric power market has a predetermined demand time limit (for example, 30 The amount of power received every minute) is limited, and the contract power received amount set according to the maximum value of the power received amount in a predetermined period (for example, 11 months) is set as small as possible, so that it is set according to the contract power received amount. There is a case where the electric power charge is reduced.

一方、電気事業者は、各受電者との間で契約受電量を締結することで、各受電者の受電量の合計である総受電量のピークを低下させて総受電量をできるだけ平準化させ、給電設備の給電能力を小さくして設備コストの低下を図る場合がある。   On the other hand, the electric power company concludes a contract power reception amount with each power receiver, thereby reducing the peak of the total power reception amount, which is the sum of the power reception amount of each power receiver, and leveling the total power reception as much as possible. In some cases, the power supply capacity of the power supply equipment is reduced to reduce the equipment cost.

そして、このように受電者の受電量を制限するために、家庭や工場等の個々の受電者側に設けられ、受電者の受電量を上記契約受電量に応じて設定された目標受電量以下に制限する形態で、その受電者に設けられた電力負荷における受電を遮断するなどして受電者の受電量を低下させる受電量低下制御を実行するように構成されたデマンド制御装置が知られている(例えば、特許文献1を参照。)。   And in order to limit the amount of power received by the power receiver in this way, the power received by the power receiver is set below the target power received that is set according to the contracted power received, such as at home or factory. There is known a demand control device configured to execute power reception amount reduction control for reducing the amount of power received by a power receiver by cutting off power reception at a power load provided to the power receiver. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

更に、上記特許文献1に記載のデマンド制御装置は、受電者側に複数の電力負荷(負荷群)が存在する場合において、その複数の電力負荷の夫々に対して予め優先順位を設定しておき、その受電者の受電量が目標受電量を超えそうな場合に、その優先順位が高い電力負荷に対して優先的に受電を遮断するように構成されている。   Furthermore, the demand control device described in Patent Document 1 previously sets priorities for each of the plurality of power loads when there are a plurality of power loads (load groups) on the power receiver side. When the power reception amount of the power receiver is likely to exceed the target power reception amount, the power reception is preferentially interrupted with respect to the power load having a high priority.

特開平6−197450号公報JP-A-6-197450

電気事業者が複数の受電者に対して電力を供給する場合において、全ての受電者が同時に最大の契約受電量で受電する可能性が低いことから、各受電者の受電量の合計である総受電量は、各受電者の契約受電量の合計に達することは殆どないと考えられる。しかし、複数の受電者に対して電力を供給する電気事業者は、各受電者に対して一定の信頼性を確保して給電するために、各受電者の受電量の最大値を考慮して設定された契約受電量の合計に応じて給電設備の給電能力を比較的大きくする必要があり、設備コストを十分に低下させることができない場合があった。   When an electric power company supplies power to multiple power receivers, it is unlikely that all the power receivers will receive power at the maximum contract power reception amount at the same time, so the total power received by each power receiver It is considered that the amount of power received hardly reaches the total of the contracted power received by each power receiver. However, an electric power company that supplies power to a plurality of power receivers considers the maximum amount of power received by each power receiver in order to ensure power supply to each power receiver with certain reliability. In some cases, it is necessary to relatively increase the power supply capacity of the power supply facility in accordance with the total amount of received contract power, and the facility cost cannot be reduced sufficiently.

更に、ある受電者の受電量が目標受電量を超えそうな場合には、総受電量が比較的小さくても、その受電者において、デマンド制御装置が受電量低下制御を実行することにより、受電量が目標受電量以下に制限されるので、電気事業者が給電設備の給電能力に余裕がある場合でも、効率良く受電者に電力を供給することができない場合があった。   Furthermore, when the amount of power received by a certain power receiver is likely to exceed the target power received amount, even if the total power received is relatively small, the demand control device performs power reception amount lowering control at that power receiver, Since the amount is limited to be equal to or less than the target power reception amount, even when the electric power company has a margin in the power supply capability of the power supply facility, there is a case where the power cannot be efficiently supplied to the power receiver.

本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、電気事業者が複数の受電者に対して電力を供給する場合において、給電設備の給電能力をできるだけ小さくして、設備コストの低下を十分に図り、その経済効果を受電者側の電力料金の低減に反映でき、更に、各受電者側における受電量低下制御の実行をできるだけ抑制して、電気事業者側の給電能力に合わせて効率良く受電者に電力を供給できるようにするデマンド管理システムを実現する点にある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the power supply capacity of a power supply facility as much as possible when an electric power company supplies power to a plurality of power receivers. Cost reduction can be sufficiently achieved, and the economic effect can be reflected in the reduction of power charges on the power receiver side. In addition, the power supply capacity on the power provider side can be reduced by suppressing the execution of power reception amount reduction control on each power receiver side as much as possible. The demand management system that makes it possible to efficiently supply power to the power receiver according to the situation is realized.

上記目的を達成するための本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第1特徴構成は、送配電線から受電する複数の受電者側の夫々に設けられる個別デマンド制御装置と、
前記各個別デマンド制御装置との間で通信可能に構成される中央デマンド制御装置とで構成され、
前記個別デマンド制御装置が、前記中央デマンド制御装置から受信した個別受電量低下指令に従って、前記受電者の個別受電量を低下させる個別受電量低下制御を実行するように構成され、
前記中央デマンド制御装置が、前記各受電者の個別受電量の合計である総受電量が目標総受電量を超過する総受電量超過状態を判定する総受電量超過状態判定手段と、前記総受電量超過状態判定手段で前記総受電量超過状態を判定した際に、前記総受電量を前記目標総受電量以下に制限する形態で、前記複数の個別デマンド制御装置の中から前記個別受電量低下制御を実行させる指令対象個別デマンド制御装置を決定する指令対象決定手段と、前記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に前記個別受電量低下指令を発信する指令手段とを備えた点にある。
A first characteristic configuration of a demand management system according to the present invention for achieving the above object is an individual demand control device provided on each of a plurality of power receivers that receive power from a transmission and distribution line;
A central demand control device configured to be communicable with each individual demand control device;
The individual demand control device is configured to execute individual power reception amount reduction control for reducing the individual power reception amount of the power receiver in accordance with the individual power reception amount reduction command received from the central demand control device,
The central demand control device includes a total received power excess state determination unit that determines a total received power excess state in which a total received power that is a total of individual received power of each power receiver exceeds a target total received power; and the total received power When the total power reception excess state is determined by the amount excess state determination means, the total power reception amount is limited to the target total power reception amount or less, and the individual power reception amount is reduced from the plurality of individual demand control devices. A command target determining unit that determines a command target individual demand control device that executes control, and a command unit that transmits the individual power reception amount reduction command to the command target individual demand control device.

上記第1特徴構成によれば、複数の受電者の総受電量が所定の目標総受電量を超えそうな場合に、上記中央デマンド制御装置において、上記総受電量超過状態判定手段が上記総受電量超過状態を判定し、上記指令対象決定手段が、その総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限するために有効な上記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置を決定し、上記指令手段が、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に対して上記個別受電量低下指令を、通信ネットワークを介して発信するので、その個別受電量低下指令を受信した指令対象個別デマンド制御装置は、その受電者に設けられた電力負荷の一部又は全部における受電の遮断又は制限、又は、受電者に設けられた発電設備の出力上昇により、受電者の個別受電量を低下させる個別受電量低下制御を実行することになり、複数の受電者の総受電量が目標総受電量以下に制限されることになる。   According to the first characteristic configuration, when the total power received by a plurality of power receivers is likely to exceed a predetermined target total power received, in the central demand control device, the total power received excess state determination unit is configured to The command target determining means determines the command target individual demand control device effective for limiting the total received power to the target total received power or less, and the command means determines the command target. Since the individual power reception amount reduction command is transmitted to the individual demand control device via the communication network, the command target individual demand control device that has received the individual power reception amount reduction command has a power load provided to the power receiver. The individual power reception amount reduction control is executed to reduce the individual power reception amount of the power receiver by blocking or limiting the power reception in part or all of the power source or by increasing the output of the power generation equipment provided to the power receiver. Becomes, so that the total received power amount of the plurality of power receiving user is limited to less than the target total received power amount.

従って、その複数の受電者に対して電力を供給する電気事業者は、例えば上記目標総受電量を比較的小さく設定することで、給電設備の給電能力を比較的小さいものとして、設備コストの低下を十分に図り、その経済効果を受電者側の電力料金の低減に反映することができる。   Accordingly, an electric power company that supplies power to the plurality of power receivers can reduce the facility cost by setting the target total power reception amount to be relatively small, for example, so that the power feeding capacity of the power feeding facility is relatively small. The economic effect can be reflected in the reduction of the electricity charge on the power receiver side.

更に、総受電量が目標総受電量以下に制限される形態で、指令対象の個別デマンド制御装置が決定されることから、総受電量が比較的小さい場合には、各受電者において個別デマンド制御装置は必要以上に個別受電量低下制御を実行する必要がないので、各受電者側における受電量低下制御の実行をできるだけ抑制して、電気事業者側の給電能力に合わせて効率良く受電者に電力を供給することができる。   Further, since the individual demand control device to be commanded is determined in such a form that the total power reception amount is limited to the target total power reception amount or less, if the total power reception amount is relatively small, the individual demand control is performed in each power receiver. Since the device does not need to perform individual power reception amount reduction control more than necessary, the power reception amount reduction control on each power receiver side is suppressed as much as possible, and the power receiver is efficiently matched to the power supply capacity of the electric power company side. Electric power can be supplied.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第2特徴構成は、前記複数の個別デマンド制御装置の少なくとも一部が、前記受電者の個別受電量が目標個別受電量を超過する個別受電量超過状態を判定する個別受電量超過状態判定手段を備えると共に、前記個別受電量超過状態判定手段で前記個別受電量超過状態を判定した際に前記個別受電量低下制御を実行するように構成されている点にある。   In a second characteristic configuration of the demand management system according to the present invention, at least a part of the plurality of individual demand control devices determines an individual received power excess state in which the individual received amount of the power receiver exceeds a target individual received amount. An individual power reception amount excess state determination unit is provided, and when the individual power reception amount excess state determination unit determines the individual power reception amount excess state, the individual power reception amount decrease control is executed.

上記第2特徴構成によれば、複数の受電者の総受電量が所定の目標総受電量を超えそうな場合だけでなく、各受電者の個別受電量が所定の目標個別受電量を超えそうな場合において、上記個別デマンド制御装置において、上記個別受電量超過状態判定手段が上記個別受電量超過状態を判定して、個別受電量低下制御を実行することになり、各受電者の受電量が目標個別受電量以下に制限されることになる。
従って、各受電者は、個々に受電設備の容量や電力料金の低減目標等に応じて目標個別受電量を設定することができ、受電設備の故障を抑制したり、所定期間におけるその個別受電量の最大値に応じて設定される契約受電量をできるだけ小さくして、契約受電量に応じて設定される電力料金の低減を図ることができる。
According to the second characteristic configuration described above, not only when the total power received by a plurality of power receivers is likely to exceed a predetermined target total power received amount, but also the individual power received by each power receiver is likely to exceed a predetermined target individual power received amount. In this case, in the individual demand control device, the individual received power excess state determining means determines the individual received power excess state and executes the individual received power lowering control, and the received power amount of each receiver is determined. It will be limited to below the target individual power reception amount.
Therefore, each power receiver can individually set the target individual power reception amount according to the capacity of the power reception facility and the power tariff reduction target, etc., and can control the failure of the power reception facility or the individual power reception amount during a predetermined period. The amount of contract power received set according to the maximum value can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the power charge set according to the amount of contract received power.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第3特徴構成は、前記複数の個別デマンド制御装置の全てが、前記受電者の個別受電量が目標個別受電量を超過する個別受電量超過状態を判定する個別受電量超過状態判定手段を備えると共に、前記個別受電量超過状態判定手段で前記個別受電量超過状態を判定した際に前記個別受電量低下制御を実行するように構成されており、
前記中央デマンド制御装置における前記目標総受電量が、前記各個別デマンド制御装置における前記目標個別受電量の合計よりも小さく設定されている点にある。
A third characteristic configuration of the demand management system according to the present invention is that the plurality of individual demand control devices all determine an individual power reception excess state in which the individual power reception amount of the power receiver exceeds a target individual power reception amount. It includes an amount excess state determination means, and is configured to execute the individual power reception amount decrease control when the individual power reception amount excess state determination means determines the individual power reception amount excess state.
The target total power reception amount in the central demand control device is set to be smaller than the total of the target individual power reception amounts in the individual demand control devices.

上記第3特徴構成によれば、全ての個別デマンド制御装置が個別受電量低下制御を実行して全ての受電者の個別受電量が目標個別受電量以下に制限されている場合において、総受電量に対する目標個別受電量の合計の比が常に1よりも大きくなることから、中央デマンド制御装置における目標総受電量を、その目標個別受電量の合計よりも小さい適切なもの設定して、給電設備の給電能力を適切なものとすることができる。   According to the third characteristic configuration, when all the individual demand control devices execute the individual power reception amount reduction control and the individual power reception amounts of all the power receivers are limited to the target individual power reception amount or less, the total power reception amount Since the ratio of the total of the target individual power reception amount to always becomes larger than 1, the target total power reception amount in the central demand control device is set to an appropriate value smaller than the total of the target individual power reception amount, and the power supply equipment The power supply capability can be made appropriate.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第4特徴構成は、前記指令対象決定手段が、前記総受電量超過状態判定手段で前記総受電量超過状態を判定した際の前記各受電者の個別受電量の増加率を算出し、前記個別受電量の増加率が高い前記受電者側に設けられた前記個別デマンド制御装置を優先して、前記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に決定するように構成されている点にある。   According to a fourth characteristic configuration of the demand management system of the present invention, the command target determining unit determines the individual received power amount of each power receiver when the total received power excess state determining unit determines the total received power excess state. An increase rate is calculated, and the individual demand control device provided on the power receiver side where the increase rate of the individual received power is high is prioritized and determined as the command target individual demand control device. It is in.

上記第4特徴構成によれば、複数の受電者の総受電量が所定の目標総受電量を超えそうな場合に、受電者における個別受電量の増加率が高い順に個別デマンド制御装置が個別受電量低下制御を実行することになるので、総受電量の増加率を大幅に低下させて、総受電量が目標総受電量を超える可能性を低下させ、効率良く総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限することができる。   According to the fourth feature configuration, when the total power received by a plurality of power receivers is likely to exceed a predetermined target total power received, the individual demand control device performs the individual power reception in descending order of the increase rate of the individual power received by the power receiver. Since the amount reduction control will be executed, the rate of increase in the total received power will be greatly reduced, the possibility that the total received power will exceed the target total received power is reduced, and the target total received power will be efficiently reduced. The following can be limited.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第5特徴構成は、前記中央デマンド制御装置が、前記各個別デマンド制御装置による前記個別受電量低下制御実行時の前記受電者の個別受電量の低下量に関する個別低下条件を格納した個別低下条件データベースを備えると共に、前記指令対象決定手段が、前記総受電量を前記目標総受電量以下に制限するための前記総受電量の低下量に関する総低下条件を導出し、前記総低下条件に前記個別低下条件データベースに格納されている前記個別低下条件を割り当てる形態で、前記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置を決定するように構成されている点にある。   According to a fifth characteristic configuration of the demand management system of the present invention, the central demand control device is configured to individually reduce the amount of decrease in the individual power reception amount of the power receiver when the individual power demand reduction control is executed by the individual demand control device. An individual reduction condition database storing conditions, and the command target determining means derives a total reduction condition related to a reduction amount of the total power reception amount for limiting the total power reception amount to the target total power reception amount or less, The command target individual demand control device is determined in such a manner that the individual decrease condition stored in the individual decrease condition database is assigned to the total decrease condition.

上記第5特徴構成によれば、複数の受電者の総受電量が所定の目標総受電量を超えそうな場合に、総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限するために導出した上記総低下条件に対して、各受電者における上記個別低下条件を適切に割り当てる形態で決定された指令対象個別デマンド制御装置が、個別受電量低下制御を実行することになるので、総受電量を適切に低下させて効率良く目標総受電量以下に制限することができる。   According to the fifth characteristic configuration, when the total received amount of a plurality of power receivers is likely to exceed a predetermined target total received amount, the total decrease derived to limit the total received amount to a target total received amount or less. The command target individual demand control device determined in a form that appropriately assigns the individual reduction condition for each power receiver to the condition executes the individual power reception amount reduction control, so that the total power reception amount is appropriately reduced. Thus, it can be efficiently limited to the target total power reception amount or less.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの第6特徴構成は、少なくとも一部の前記個別デマンド制御装置が、前記受電者側に設けられた発電設備が異常停止状態であることを前記中央デマンド制御装置に通報する異常停止状態通報手段を備えて構成され、
前記中央デマンド制御装置が、前記発電設備と、該発電設備が異常停止状態となったときに前記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に決定する前記個別デマンド制御装置とを関連付けた関連付け情報を格納した関連付け情報データベースを備えると共に、前記指令対象決定手段が、前記関連付け情報データベースに格納されている前記関連付け情報を参照して、前記異常停止状態通報手段から前記異常停止状態の通報を受けた前記発電設備に関連付けられた前記個別デマンド制御装置を優先して、前記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に決定するように構成されている点にある。
According to a sixth characteristic configuration of the demand management system of the present invention, at least a part of the individual demand control device notifies the central demand control device that the power generation equipment provided on the power receiver side is in an abnormally stopped state. Comprising an abnormal stop state reporting means to
Association information in which the central demand control device stores association information that associates the power generation facility with the individual demand control device that is determined as the command target individual demand control device when the power generation facility is abnormally stopped. The command target determining means includes a database and refers to the association information stored in the association information database, and associates with the power generation facility that has received the abnormal stop state report from the abnormal stop state report means. The individual demand control device is preferentially determined as the command target individual demand control device.

上記第6特徴構成によれば、上記関連付け情報として、個別受電量低下制御を実行した場合に、その発電設備が上記異常停止状態となったことにより増加する個別受電量と同等又はそれ以上の個別受電量の低下を実現する形態で、発電設備に対して個別デマンド制御装置を予め関連付けておくことで、受電者側に設けられた発電設備が異常停止状態となることにより、複数の受電者の総受電量が所定の目標総受電量を超えそうな場合において、迅速に、異常停止状態となった発電設備に対して関連付けられた個別デマンド制御装置を指令対象個別デマンド制御装置に決定して、個別受電量低下制御を実行させ、確実に総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限することができる。   According to the sixth feature configuration, as the association information, when the individual power reception amount reduction control is executed, an individual power reception amount that is equal to or greater than the individual power reception amount that is increased when the power generation facility is in the abnormal stop state. In a form that realizes a reduction in the amount of power received, by associating an individual demand control device with a power generation facility in advance, the power generation facility provided on the power receiver side is in an abnormally stopped state, so that a plurality of power receivers When the total amount of power received is likely to exceed the predetermined target total amount of power received, promptly determine the individual demand control device associated with the power generation facility in the abnormally stopped state as the command target individual demand control device, It is possible to execute individual power reception amount reduction control and reliably limit the total power reception amount to a target total power reception amount or less.

本発明に係るデマンド管理システムの実施の形態について、図面に基づいて説明する。

また、受電者2の個別受電量を低下させるための上記電力負荷3aと上記発電設備6との両方を有する受電者2cに設けられた個別デマンド制御装置10は、個別受電量低下制御において、遮断器4を作動させるか、発電設備6を起動又は出力上昇させるかを、予め設定された条件又はそのときの電力負荷3aの受電容量や発電設備6の出力等に応じて、適宜選択して実行することができる。   In addition, the individual demand control device 10 provided in the power receiver 2c having both the power load 3a and the power generation facility 6 for reducing the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 is shut off in the individual power reception amount reduction control. Whether to activate the generator 4 or start or increase the output of the power generation equipment 6 according to preset conditions or the power receiving capacity of the power load 3a at that time, the output of the power generation equipment 6 or the like. can do.

PPSから受電する各受電者2は、PPSとの間で締結する電力需給契約において、各受電者2の個別受電量の合計である総受電量をPPS側によって設定された目標総受電量以下に制限する目的で、PPS側から指令を受けた場合に、個別デマンド制御装置10に個別受電量低下制御を実行させて、個別受電量を低下させるものとされており、このような電力需給契約を締結することにより、PPSは給電設備の給電能力をできるだけ小さくして設備コストの低下を十分に図り、受電者2はその経済効果の一部を電力料金の割引として受けることができる。   Each power receiver 2 receiving power from the PPS, in the power supply and demand contract concluded with the PPS, makes the total power received that is the sum of the individual power received by each power receiver 2 equal to or less than the target total power received by the PPS side. For the purpose of limiting, when an instruction is received from the PPS side, the individual demand control device 10 executes the individual power reception amount reduction control to reduce the individual power reception amount. By fastening, the PPS can make the power supply capacity of the power supply equipment as small as possible to sufficiently reduce the equipment cost, and the power receiver 2 can receive a part of the economic effect as a discount on the power charge.

そして、デマンド管理システムは、図2及び3に示すように、このように総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限するためのデマンド管理処理を実行するように構成されており、このデマンド管理処理の処理フローに従って、そのデマンド管理処理を実行するための詳細構成について、以下に説明する。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the demand management system is configured to execute demand management processing for limiting the total power reception amount to the target total power reception amount or less. A detailed configuration for executing the demand management process according to the process flow will be described below.

各受電者2側に設けられた個別デマンド制御装置10は、電力量計測器7により所定のデマンド時限(例えば30分)において積算した受電者2の個別受電量を計測すると共に、その計測した個別受電量を、通信ネットワーク30を介して中央デマンド制御装置20に送信するように構成されており、更に、上記中央デマンド制御装置20から、通信ネット−ワーク30を介して、後述する個別受電量低下指令を受信した場合に、その個別受電量低下指令に従って、上記個別受電量低下制御を実行するように構成されている。   The individual demand control device 10 provided on each power receiver 2 side measures the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 accumulated in a predetermined demand time period (for example, 30 minutes) by the power amount measuring device 7 and the measured individual power control device 10. The power reception amount is configured to be transmitted to the central demand control apparatus 20 via the communication network 30. Further, the individual power reception amount reduction described later from the central demand control apparatus 20 via the communication network 30 is performed. When the command is received, the individual power reception amount decrease control is executed according to the individual power reception amount decrease command.

一方、中央デマンド制御装置20は、各受電者2の個別受電量の合計である総受電量が目標総受電量を超過する総受電量超過状態を判定する総受電量超過状態判定手段21、上記総受電量超過状態判定手段21で総受電量超過状態を判定した際に、総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限する形態で、複数の個別デマンド制御装置10の中から上述した個別受電量低下制御を実行させる指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定する指令対象決定手段22、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に個別受電量低下指令を発信する指令手段23として機能するように構成されている。   On the other hand, the central demand control device 20 includes a total received power excess state determination unit 21 that determines a total received power excess state in which the total received power that is the sum of the individual received power of each power receiver 2 exceeds the target total received power, When the total received power excess state determination unit 21 determines the total received power excess state, the individual received power amount described above is selected from the plurality of individual demand control devices 10 in such a manner that the total received power amount is limited to the target total received power amount or less. The command target determining means 22 for determining the command target individual demand control apparatus 10 ′ for executing the decrease control, and the command means 23 for transmitting the individual power reception amount decrease command to the command target individual demand control apparatus 10 ′ are configured. ing.

詳しくは、中央デマンド制御装置20は、上記総受電量超過状態判定手段21により、各個別デマンド制御装置10から受信した個別受電量を合計して算出される上記総受電量の推移を監視して、上述したデマンド時限が終了するまでに上記総受電量超過状態となるか否かを判定する(ステップ#201〜ステップ#203)。   Specifically, the central demand control device 20 monitors the transition of the total power reception amount calculated by totaling the individual power reception amounts received from the individual demand control devices 10 by the total power reception amount excess state determination means 21. Then, it is determined whether or not the total power reception amount excess state is reached before the above-described demand time period ends (step # 201 to step # 203).

そして、中央デマンド制御装置20は、上記総受電量超過状態判定手段21で上記総受電量超過状態となると判定した場合には、上記指令対象決定手段22により、上記デマンド時限において総受電量が目標総受電量以下に制限するために有効な上記指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定し(ステップ#204)、上記指令手段23により、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に対して、通信ネットワーク30を介して、個別受電量低下指令を発信する(ステップ#205)ように構成されている。   When the central demand control device 20 determines that the total received power excess state determining unit 21 is in the total received power excess state, the command target determining unit 22 determines the total received power target in the demand time period. The command target individual demand control device 10 ′ effective for limiting to the total power received amount or less is determined (step # 204), and the command means 23 sends a communication network to the command target individual demand control device 10 ′. 30 is configured to transmit an individual power reception amount decrease command (step # 205).

よって、上記中央デマンド制御装置20から個別受電量低下指令を受信した指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’は、その個別受電量低下指令に従って、上記個別受電量低下制御を実行して(ステップ#105,ステップ#104)、受電者2の個別受電量を低下させる。
そして、上記のようなデマンド管理処理を実行することにより、総受電量は目標総受電量以下に制限されることになる。
Therefore, the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ that has received the individual power reception amount decrease command from the central demand control device 20 executes the individual power reception amount decrease control according to the individual power reception amount decrease command (step # 105, Step # 104), the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 is reduced.
Then, by executing the demand management process as described above, the total power reception amount is limited to be equal to or less than the target total power reception amount.

更に、個別デマンド制御装置10は、上記デマンド時限において、受電者2の個別受電量が所定の目標個別受電量を超過する個別受電量超過状態を判定する個別受電量超過状態判定手段11として機能すると共に、上記個別受電量超過状態判定手段11で上記個別受電量超過状態を判定した際に、上記個別受電量低下制御を実行するように構成されている。   Furthermore, the individual demand control device 10 functions as the individual power reception amount excess state determination unit 11 that determines an individual power reception amount excess state in which the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 exceeds a predetermined target individual power reception amount in the demand time period. At the same time, when the individual power reception amount excess state determination means 11 determines the individual power reception amount excess state, the individual power reception amount decrease control is executed.

詳しくは、個別デマンド制御装置10は、上記個別受電量超過状態判定手段11により、受電者2の個別受電量の推移を監視し、上記デマンド時限が終了するまでに上記個別受電量超過状態となるか否かを判定し、上記個別受電量超過状態となると判定した場合には、上記個別受電量低下制御を実行して(ステップ#101〜ステップ#104)、個別受電量を目標個別受電量以下に制限する。   Specifically, the individual demand control device 10 monitors the transition of the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 by the individual power reception amount excess state determination unit 11 and enters the individual power reception amount excess state until the demand time period ends. If it is determined whether or not the individual power reception amount excess state is reached, the individual power reception amount reduction control is executed (steps # 101 to # 104), and the individual power reception amount is equal to or less than the target individual power reception amount. Restrict to.

更に、全ての受電者2の個別デマンド制御装置10が、上記個別受電量超過状態判定手段11として機能して、上記個別受電量超過状態判定手段11で上記個別受電量超過状態を判定した際に上記個別受電量低下制御を実行することで、個別受電量を目標個別受電量以下に制限するように構成されている場合には、総受電量の上限である目標総受電量は、各個別受電量の上限である目標個別受電量の合計よりも小さく設定される。例えば、目標総受電量はPPS側の給電能力等に応じて設定され、目標個別受電量は各受電者2における受電設備の容量等に応じて設定される。   Further, when the individual demand control devices 10 of all the power receivers 2 function as the individual power reception amount excess state determination unit 11 and the individual power reception amount excess state determination unit 11 determines the individual power reception amount excess state. When configured to limit the individual received amount to the target individual received amount or less by executing the individual received amount decrease control, the target total received amount that is the upper limit of the total received amount is the individual received amount. It is set to be smaller than the total of the target individual power reception amounts that are the upper limit of the amount. For example, the target total power reception amount is set according to the power supply capability or the like on the PPS side, and the target individual power reception amount is set according to the capacity of the power receiving facility in each power receiver 2 or the like.

デマンド時限が終了したときには、個別デマンド制御装置10及び中央デマンド制御装置20は、図3に示すように、所定のリセット処理(ステップ#300,ステップ#400)を実行するように構成されている。   When the demand time limit ends, the individual demand control device 10 and the central demand control device 20 are configured to execute a predetermined reset process (step # 300, step # 400) as shown in FIG.

詳しくは、個別デマンド制御装置10及び中央デマンド制御装置20は、リセット処理において、これまで積算したデマンド時限における個別受電量及び総受電量をリセット(0とすること)する(ステップ#301,ステップ#401)。   Specifically, the individual demand control device 10 and the central demand control device 20 reset (set to 0) the individual power reception amount and the total power reception amount in the demand time period accumulated so far in the reset process (step # 301, step #). 401).

次に、中央デマンド制御装置20は、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に実行させている個別受電量低下制御を終了するか否か判断し(ステップ#402)、個別受電量低下制御を終了しないと判断した場合には、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に対して継続指令を発信する(ステップ#403)。   Next, the central demand control device 20 determines whether or not to terminate the individual power reception amount reduction control executed by the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ (step # 402), and does not end the individual power reception amount reduction control. Is determined, a continuation command is transmitted to the command target individual demand control device 10 '(step # 403).

尚、上記中央デマンド制御装置20は、ステップ#402において、例えば、過去の総受電量からその時点が、総受電量が目標総受電量を超えやすい時間帯であると判断される場合や、その時点において故障等により異常停止状態となっている発電設備6が存在する場合等において、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に実行させている個別受電量低下制御を終了しないと判断することができる。   Note that the central demand control device 20 determines in step # 402 that, for example, from the past total received power amount, the time point is a time zone in which the total received power amount easily exceeds the target total received power amount, When there is a power generation facility 6 that is in an abnormally stopped state due to a failure or the like at the time, it can be determined that the individual power reception amount reduction control that is being executed by the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is not terminated.

一方、個別デマンド制御装置10は、中央デマンド制御装置20から上記継続指令を受信したか否かを判定し(ステップ#302)、継続指令を受信しなかった場合のみ個別受電量低下制御を終了し(ステップ#303)、継続指令を受信した場合には個別受電量低下制御を終了せずに継続して実行する。   On the other hand, the individual demand control device 10 determines whether or not the continuation command is received from the central demand control device 20 (step # 302), and ends the individual power reception amount reduction control only when the continuation command is not received. (Step # 303) When the continuation command is received, the individual power reception amount reduction control is continuously executed without ending.

次に、中央デマンド制御装置20が機能する指令対象決定手段22が指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定する形態についての第1〜第3の実施形態について、説明を追加する。   Next, description is added about the 1st-3rd embodiment about the form in which the command object determination means 22 in which the central demand control apparatus 20 functions determines the command object individual demand control apparatus 10 '.

〔第1実施形態〕
本第1実施形態において、中央デマンド制御装置20が機能する指令対象決定手段22が、総受電量超過状態判定手段21で総受電量超過状態を判定した際の各受電者2の個別受電量の増加率を算出し、その算出した個別受電量の増加率が高い受電者2側に設けられた個別デマンド制御装置10を優先して、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に決定するように構成されている。
詳しくは、中央デマンド制御装置20は、各個別デマンド制御装置10から受信した個別受電量を時系列的に記憶しておき、上記指令対象決定手段22により、各受電者2におけるその個別受電量の増加率を算出し、総受電量が目標総受電量以下に制限可能な状態となるまで、順次、増加率が高い順に指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定して、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に個別受電量低下制御を実行させる。
[First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the command target determination unit 22 that the central demand control device 20 functions determines the individual power reception amount of each power receiver 2 when the total power reception amount excess state determination unit 21 determines the total power reception amount excess state. The increase rate is calculated, and the command demand individual demand control device 10 ′ is determined with priority given to the individual demand control device 10 provided on the power receiver 2 side where the increase rate of the calculated individual power reception amount is high. ing.
Specifically, the central demand control device 20 stores the individual received power amount received from each individual demand control device 10 in time series, and the command target determining means 22 determines the individual received power amount of each power receiver 2. The increase rate is calculated, and the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is sequentially determined in descending order of the increase rate until the total received power can be limited to the target total received power or less. The apparatus 10 ′ is caused to execute individual power reception amount reduction control.

そして、このように指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定することで、早期に総受電量の増加率が大幅に低下して、総受電量が目標総受電量を超える可能性が少なくなり、効率良く総受電量が目標総受電量以下に制限される。   Then, by determining the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ in this way, the rate of increase in the total power reception amount is greatly reduced at an early stage, and the possibility that the total power reception amount exceeds the target total power reception amount is reduced. The total received power is efficiently limited to the target total received power or less.

〔第2実施形態〕
本第2実施形態において、中央デマンド制御装置20が、各個別デマンド制御装置10による個別受電量低下制御実行時の受電者2の個別受電量の低下量に関する個別低下条件を格納した個別低下条件データベース24を備える。
そして、中央デマンド制御装置20が機能する指令対象決定手段22が、総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限するための総受電量の低下量に関する総低下条件を導出し、総低下条件に個別低下条件データベース24に格納されている個別低下条件を割り当てる形態で、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定するように構成されている。
[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, the individual demand condition database in which the central demand control device 20 stores the individual decline conditions related to the amount of reduction of the individual power reception amount of the power receiver 2 when the individual power demand reduction control is executed by each individual demand control device 10. 24.
Then, the command target determining unit 22 in which the central demand control device 20 functions derives the total reduction condition regarding the reduction amount of the total power reception amount for limiting the total power reception amount to the target total power reception amount or less, and individually sets the total reduction condition. The command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is determined in such a manner as to assign the individual lowering conditions stored in the lowering condition database 24.

詳しくは、上記個別低下条件データベース24は、個別受電量低下制御により受電が停止される電力負荷3aの容量や、個別受電量低下制御により起動又は出力上昇される発電設備6の上昇出力等として設定される個別低下電力等を、上記個別受電量の低下量に関する上記個別低下条件として各個別デマンド制御装置10について格納している。   Specifically, the individual decrease condition database 24 is set as the capacity of the power load 3a that is stopped receiving power by the individual power reception amount decrease control, the increased output of the power generation facility 6 that is activated or increased by the individual power reception amount decrease control, and the like. The individual reduced power and the like are stored for each individual demand control device 10 as the individual reduction condition relating to the reduction amount of the individual power reception amount.

そして、指令対象決定手段22は、総受電量超過状態となると判定した場合に、その時点からデマンド時限が終了するまでの時間である総低下時間と、そのデマンド時限が終了するまでに低下すべき総受電量の総低下量とを導出すると共に、その総低下量を総低下時間で割った値である総低下電力を、上記総低下条件として導出し、上記個別低下条件データベース24に格納している各受電者の個別条件を参照して、各指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’の個別低下電力の合計が上記総低下電力以上となり、且つ、個別低下電力の合計と上記総低下電力との差が最小となる形態で、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定し、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に個別受電量低下制御を実行させる。   When the command target determining unit 22 determines that the total power reception amount excess state is reached, the command target determining unit 22 should reduce the total decrease time, which is the time from the time until the end of the demand period, and the end of the demand period. The total reduction amount of the total power reception amount is derived, and the total reduction power obtained by dividing the total reduction amount by the total reduction time is derived as the total reduction condition and stored in the individual reduction condition database 24. Referring to the individual conditions of each power receiver, the total of individual reduced power of each command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is equal to or greater than the total reduced power, and the difference between the total individual reduced power and the total reduced power The command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is determined in a form that minimizes the command target, and the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is caused to execute the individual power reception amount reduction control.

そして、このように指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定することで、総受電量を必要に合わせて適切に低下させて効率良く目標総受電量以下に制限することができる。   By determining the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ in this way, the total power reception amount can be appropriately reduced as necessary to efficiently limit the total power reception amount below the target total power reception amount.

また、上記個別低下条件データベース24に、上記個別低下条件として、上記個別低下電力に加えて、その電力負荷3の受電を停止することができる時間、又は、発電設備3を起動又は出力上昇させることができる時間として設定される個別低下時間等を格納しておき、上記指令対象決定手段22が、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’が個別受電量低下制御を実行する最大時間を上記個別低下時間以下に制限する形態で、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定するように構成しても構わない。また、個別デマンド制御装置10が個別受電量低下制御において発電装置6を起動又は出力上昇させる場合には、指令対象決定手段22は、その発電装置6の起動又は出力上昇時に必要な出力上昇時間や発電装置6の停止又は出力下降時に必要な出力下降時間等を考慮して、上記個別低下時間を設定しても構わない。   Moreover, in the said individual fall condition database 24, as said individual fall condition, in addition to the said individual fall electric power, the time which can stop the receiving of the electric power load 3, or the power generation equipment 3 is started or the output is raised. In this case, the command target determining means 22 sets the maximum time for the command target individual demand control device 10 'to execute the individual power reception amount control below the individual decrease time. The command target individual demand control device 10 ′ may be determined in such a manner as to be limited to the above. In addition, when the individual demand control device 10 activates or increases the output of the power generation device 6 in the individual power reception amount reduction control, the command target determining unit 22 determines the output increase time required when the power generation device 6 is activated or the output is increased. The individual decrease time may be set in consideration of the output decrease time required when the power generator 6 is stopped or the output decreases.

〔第3実施形態〕
本第3実施形態において、少なくとも一部の個別デマンド制御装置10が、受電者2a,2c側に設けられた発電設備6が故障やメンテナンス等の理由で起動することができない異常停止状態であることを中央デマンド制御装置20に通報する異常停止状態通報手段12として機能するように構成されている。
更に、中央デマンド制御装置20が、発電設備6と、該発電設備6が異常停止状態となったときに指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に決定する個別デマンド制御装置10とを関連付けた関連付け情報を格納した関連付け情報データベース25を備える。
そして、中央デマンド制御装置20が機能する指令対象決定手段22が、関連付け情報データベース25に格納されている関連付け情報を参照して、異常停止状態通報手段12から異常停止状態の通報を受けた発電設備6に関連付けられた個別デマンド制御装置10を優先して、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に決定するように構成されている。
[Third Embodiment]
In the third embodiment, at least a part of the individual demand control device 10 is in an abnormally stopped state in which the power generation equipment 6 provided on the power receivers 2a, 2c side cannot be started due to a failure or maintenance. Is configured to function as an abnormal stop state notifying means 12 for notifying the central demand control device 20 of the error.
Further, the central demand controller 20 associates the association information that associates the power generation facility 6 with the individual demand control device 10 that is determined as the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ when the power generation facility 6 is in an abnormally stopped state. A stored association information database 25 is provided.
The command target determining means 22 in which the central demand control device 20 functions refers to the association information stored in the association information database 25 and receives the report of the abnormally stopped state from the abnormally stopped state notifying means 12. The individual demand control device 10 associated with 6 is prioritized and the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ is determined.

詳しくは、個別デマンド制御装置10が機能する異常停止状態通報手段12は、発電設備6が故障等の理由により異常停止したときに、その発電設備6が異常停止したことを通報するための異常停止信号を、通信ネットワーク30を介して中央デマンド制御装置20に送信し、一方、発電設備6が復旧したときに、その発電設備6の異常停止が終了したことを通報するための復旧信号を、通信ネットワーク30を介して中央デマンド制御装置20に送信する。   Specifically, the abnormal stop state reporting means 12 that the individual demand control device 10 functions is an abnormal stop for reporting that the power generation facility 6 has stopped abnormally when the power generation facility 6 has stopped abnormally due to a failure or the like. A signal is transmitted to the central demand control device 20 via the communication network 30. On the other hand, when the power generation facility 6 is recovered, a recovery signal for notifying that the abnormal stop of the power generation facility 6 has ended is communicated. The data is transmitted to the central demand control device 20 via the network 30.

そして、中央デマンド制御装置20は、上記個別デマンド制御装置10から上記異常停止信号や上記復旧信号を受信することで、その異常停止又は復旧した発電設備6を特定した上で、その発電設備6が異常停止したこと又は復旧したことを認識することができる。   The central demand control device 20 receives the abnormal stop signal or the recovery signal from the individual demand control device 10 to identify the abnormally stopped or recovered power generation facility 6, and then the power generation facility 6 It is possible to recognize that it has stopped abnormally or has recovered.

更に、関連付け情報データベース25は、各発電設備6に対して、個別受電量低下制御により受電が停止される電力負荷3aの容量や個別受電量低下制御により起動又は出力上昇される発電設備6の上昇出力等として設定される個別低下電力が、該発電設備6の定格出力と同等又はそれ以上となる形態で、発電設備6と個別デマンド制御装置10とを関連付け、その関連付けを認識可能な関連付け情報を格納する。   Further, the association information database 25 indicates the capacity of the power load 3a that is stopped by the individual power reception amount reduction control and the increase of the power generation facility 6 that is activated or increased in output by the individual power reception reduction control. Association information that associates the power generation equipment 6 with the individual demand control device 10 in a form in which the individual reduced power set as the output or the like is equal to or higher than the rated output of the power generation equipment 6 and recognizes the association. Store.

そして、中央デマンド制御装置20が機能する指令対象決定手段22は、例えば、異常停止信号を受信することによりある発電設備6が異常停止したことを認識した場合に、上記関連付け情報データベース25に格納されている関連付け情報を参照して、その発電設備6に関連付けられている個別デマンド制御装置10を指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に決定し、その指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に個別受電量低下制御を実行させる。   Then, the command target determining means 22 in which the central demand control device 20 functions is stored in the association information database 25 when, for example, it is recognized that a power generation facility 6 has stopped abnormally by receiving an abnormal stop signal. With reference to the associated information, the individual demand control device 10 associated with the power generation facility 6 is determined to be the command target individual demand control device 10 ′, and the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ decreases the individual power reception amount. Make control run.

そして、このように指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定することで、発電設備6が異常停止状態となったことにより総受電量が目標総受電量を超えそうな場合において、迅速に、異常停止状態となった発電設備に対して関連付けられた個別デマンド制御装置に個別受電量低下制御を実行させ、確実に総受電量を目標総受電量以下に制限することができる。   Then, by determining the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ in this way, when the total power reception amount is likely to exceed the target total power reception amount due to the power generation facility 6 being in an abnormally stopped state, the abnormality is quickly detected. It is possible to cause the individual demand control device associated with the power generation facility in the stopped state to execute the individual power reception amount reduction control, and to reliably limit the total power reception amount to the target total power reception amount or less.

尚、指令対象決定手段22は、別の形態で、指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’を決定するように構成しても構わない。例えば、総受電量超過状態判定手段21で総受電量超過状態を判定した場合に、各受電者2に対して、個別デマンド制御装置10に個別受電量低下制御を実行させても良いか否かを、通信ネットワーク30等を介して確認し、実行しても良いと返事を受けた受電者2側の個別デマンド制御装置10を指令対象個別デマンド制御装置10’に決定するように構成しても構わない。   Note that the command target determining unit 22 may be configured to determine the command target individual demand control device 10 ′ in another form. For example, when the total power reception excess state determination unit 21 determines the total power reception excess state, whether or not the individual demand control device 10 may execute the individual power reception amount reduction control for each power receiver 2 is determined. The individual demand control device 10 on the side of the power receiver 2 that has received a reply that it may be executed via the communication network 30 or the like may be determined as the command target individual demand control device 10 ′. I do not care.

また、上記実施の形態では、中央デマンド制御装置20における目標総受電量を各個別デマンド制御装置10における目標個別受電量の合計よりも小さく設定したが、別に、目標総受電量を目標個別受電量の合計以上に設定しても構わない。   In the above embodiment, the target total power reception amount in the central demand control device 20 is set to be smaller than the sum of the target individual power reception amounts in the individual demand control devices 10, but separately, the target total power reception amount is set as the target individual power reception amount. You may set more than the sum of.

また、上記実施の形態では、全ての個別デマンド制御装置10が、個別受電量超過判定手段11を備えて、各受電者2の個別受電量を目標個別受電量以下に制限するように構成したが、別に、個別デマンド制御装置10の全て又は一部が個別受電量超過判定手段11を備えずに、各受電者2の個別受電量を目標個別受電量以下に制限するように構成しなくても構わない。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although all the individual demand control apparatuses 10 were provided with the individual power receiving amount excess determination means 11, it comprised so that the individual power receiving amount of each power receiving person 2 might be restrict | limited to below a target individual power receiving amount.
