  • Patent number: 11920808
    Abstract: An energy management system is configured to calculate a percentage of satisfied based on the report data for each of the plurality of buildings; create, for each of the plurality of buildings, a plan for operating each of the air-conditioning facilities based on the percentage of satisfied and a predetermined target percentage of satisfied; calculate a first energy consumption amount based on the first piece of data; calculate a second energy consumption amount based on the second piece of data, the third piece of data, and the fourth piece of data, the second energy consumption amount being obtained when the each of the air-conditioning facilities is operated after a lapse of a predetermined time period; and control, when the first energy consumption amount is larger than the second energy consumption amount, the operation of the each of the air-conditioning facilities so as to achieve the second energy consumption amount.

  • Publication number: 20190376713
    Abstract: An energy management system has a prediction unit that determines an effective management pattern and predicts a DR demand amount and a reception unit that prepares a control plan and determines a DR response amount from a power consumption amount, and the reception unit prepares individual control plans for (1) minimizing the sum of power consumption amounts of a cooling tower and refrigerators without changing an amount of heat, (2) improving efficiency of the refrigerators by increasing a cold water temperature at an outlet of one refrigerator, (3) stopping an operation of one refrigerator, (4) reducing motive power of the pump and (5) operating an alternative facility and stopping the operation of one refrigerator, combines together the prepared individual control plans and prepares a control plan that satisfies the predicted DR demand amount.
