  • Publication number: 20210004430
    Abstract: On the basis of time-series data, a term-specific time-series data creation unit creates time-series data for each term that includes a derivative term; a linear sum generation unit generates, for each time point in the created time-series data, a raw value for the linear sum of the products of each term times a coefficient; a coefficient determination unit determines a coefficient for each term such that the total value of raw values for linear sums within the time interval or space interval covered by the time-series data is no greater than a set value, or approaches zero; and a governing equation output unit outputs, as a governing equation for the time-series data, the linear sum of the products of each coefficient determined by the coefficient determination unit times each term.

  • Patent number: 10141751
    Abstract: A control system for an electric storage system, in which a plurality of pairs of storage batteries and converters are connected in parallel to a power system, includes: a unit that decides charge and discharge of total power by the pairs of storage batteries and converters; and a unit that distributes the charge and discharge power decided by the charge and discharge power decision unit to the pairs of storage batteries and converters. The power distribution decision unit compares the charge and discharge total power with a limit output when conversion efficiency of the converters is equal to or greater than standard efficiency, and decides a running number by which an output of all the pairs of running storage batteries and converters is equal to or greater than the limit output when the charge and discharge total power is equal to or greater than the limit output.

  • Publication number: 20180181153
    Abstract: Provided is an equipment operation plan generating device for generating an operation plan of a plurality of pieces of equipment for supplying energy from an energy supply network to a customer includes a group unit characteristic generating unit that divides the plurality of pieces of equipment into a plurality of groups, and generates group unit characteristic information indicating an energy consumption amount with respect to magnitude of output of a group unit from device unit characteristic information indicating an energy consumption amount with respect to magnitude of output of the equipment, a group unit plan generating unit that generates group unit operation plan information by regarding the plurality of pieces of equipment in the group as one equipment based on demand forecast information of the customer and the group unit characteristic information, and an equipment unit plan generating unit that generates the operation plan for each equipment based on the group unit operation plan information and
