Abstract: 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.

Abstract: There is provision of a control device for outputting an operation amount of a controlled object so as to cause a process value of the controlled object to track a target value. The control device acquires a look-ahead target value within a time series of target values; calculates a look-ahead target value deviation which is a difference between the look-ahead target value and a current process value of the controlled object; calculates an adjusted target value deviation, by calculating a difference between the look-ahead target value and a predicted value of the process value after a look-ahead time length, based on a response model of the controlled object and past change amounts of the operation amount; performs reinforcement learning based on the adjusted target value deviation; and calculates an updated operation amount based on the adjusted target value deviation.

Abstract: A production allocation determining apparatus is configured to calculate a total supply function model representing a relationship between a total supply quantity and a marginal cost; calculate, based on current supply quantities, change rate constraints, and on capacity upper and lower limits, supply quantity upper and lower limits of the respective producers at a time s; calculate an optimum price based on the total supply function model, a predicted value of a demanded quantity at the time s, and on the supply quantity upper and lower limits; and calculate, based on the supply quantity upper and lower limits, the supply function models, and on the optimum price, optimum supply quantities. Calculation of the supply quantity upper and lower limits, calculation of the optimum price, and calculation of the optimum supply quantities are repeatedly executed from the time s=T to the time s=1.
