  • Publication number: 20220187889
    Abstract: A power system can be controlled appropriately even when an amount of calculation increases. A system control signal determination problem data storage unit stores problem data indicative of a system control signal determination problem determining a plurality of control signals used for control of a device to be controlled included in the power system. A non-von Neumann calculation unit generates a non-von Neumann calculation result obtained by using a non-von Neumann computer to solve the system control signal determination problem on the basis of the problem data. An assessment criterion data storage unit stores assessment criterion data for assessing the non-von Neumann calculation result. A non-von Neumann calculation result assessment unit assesses an assessment item related to the non-von Neumann calculation result on the basis of the assessment criterion data.

  • Patent number: 11133674
    Abstract: A system operation support device in a power system stabilizes the power system and has a predicted accident time system state calculation unit that receives measured data, a system topology, and a target accident type as inputs, and calculates a system state and a predicted accident time system state. A control menu calculation unit receives the results of the predicted accident time system state as inputs and calculates a control menu. A restoration control means calculation unit receives the result of the control menu calculation as an input and calculates a restoration control procedure. A restoration prevention control procedure calculation unit receives the result of the restoration control and a target restoration time parameter as inputs and performs a power generator output adjustment time simulation, a necessary prevention control amount calculation, and a prevention control procedure calculation. A display unit displays the restoration control procedure and the prevention control procedure.

  • Patent number: 11048246
    Abstract: A manipulation candidate classification unit provided in this operation assistance device classifies manipulation logs associated with a plurality of events stored in a past case database, as manipulation candidates, on the basis of measured value feature quantity tolerance ranges, and groups the classified manipulation candidates and the measured value feature quantity tolerance ranges together to create manipulation candidate groups. A manipulation candidate search unit searches a manipulation candidate database for a manipulation candidate group associated with a feature quantity that is associated with a past event and that is close to a feature quantity associated with a new event, and outputs the found manipulation candidate group to an output unit.
