  • Patent number: 9425606
    Abstract: An information communication device is provided with a monitoring unit, a communication unit, a storage unit, a switching unit, an acquisition unit, a creation unit, and a transmission unit. In the event that the monitoring unit detects trouble in the basic network, the switching unit switches the communication function of the communication unit from a first communication function to a second communication function. In the event that the monitoring unit detects trouble in the basic network, the creation unit creates notification information about the trouble in the basic network. The transmission unit transmits the created notification information via the switched-to communication function to a contact retrieved from the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8774979
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided an executive monitoring and control system for monitoring and controlling a power generation output of each dispersed power source and a load of each demand facility in a smart grid or a micro grid. An abnormal-time interchange procedure formation unit forms, when a fault occurs in a system, an interchange procedure of matching the total power generation output amount of dispersed power sources with the total loading of demand facilities, by using at least the information acquired by the measurement value monitoring unit and the information managed by the customer information management unit.

  • Patent number: 8554383
    Abstract: A power supply and demand control apparatus includes a power generation planning unit that calculates one day's power outputs of multiple distributed power sources and a power flow target of a linking point to another power system, a long-cycle control unit having a long-cycle supply-demand balancing control unit that performs control every few minutes so as to ensure the supply-demand balancing of electric energy in a given amount of time at the linking point in order to perform control for making deviations between total power output calculated by the power generation planning unit and load power in the power system constant, and a short-cycle control unit having a short-cycle supply-demand balancing control unit that performs similar control every few seconds. In the power supply and demand control apparatus, the long-cycle control unit and short-cycle control unit perform the supply-demand balancing control in a hierarchical fashion to determine output assignments of the distributed power sources.

  • Patent number: 8536835
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, the economical load dispatcher calculates a discharging threshold value and a charging threshold value based on a discharging unit price of and a charging and discharging efficiency of the secondary battery and further calculates output allocations of the generators and secondary battery such that the secondary battery is discharged when incremental fuel costs of the generators are higher than the discharging threshold value, whereas the secondary battery is charged when incremental fuel costs of the generators are lower than the charging threshold value.
