  • Patent number: 9727036
    Abstract: An operation plan creating system, by simulation based on a supply and demand scenario, extracts for each time point during operation for one day, a scenario that raises the effect of correction of the operation at the time point. The operation plan creating system classifies action-requiring scenarios by action similarity. The operation plan creating system determines an action-requiring scenario group for which actions are similar, and a correction time. The operation plan creating system judges whether an early action scenario group can be identified by data available at an early action time on the current day. If identifiable, the operation plan creating system 103 creates an identification condition for the early action scenario group and an optimal operation plan for the scenarios satisfying the identification condition.

  • Publication number: 20170140481
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores an electric power procurement adjustment program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes generating applicable time-series data items by excluding procurement time-series data items indicating a large total procurement amount from procurement time-series data items defining a power amount to be procured from outside at every predetermined time; generating reference procurement time-series data to be used as a reference of adjustment, based on an expectation value in each time period in the applicable time-series data items; and comparing the applicable time-series data items with the reference procurement time-series data, extracting an applicable time-series data item having a larger total procurement amount than that of the reference procurement time-series data, and generating procurement adjustment time-series data, which is a target of the adjustment, based on the extracted applicable time-series data item.

  • Patent number: 9465772
    Abstract: A calculating device selects an action and a corresponding state; acquires an evaluation value by evaluating the combination of the selected action and the selected state; identifies for each selected action, a lowest evaluation value among acquired evaluation values; determines the lowest evaluation value among evaluation values of all the states selected for each action as a minimax candidate, and determines, as a minimax, an evaluation value that is highest among the lowest evaluation values corresponding to the actions; each time an evaluation value is acquired for a combination of a state and an action after the minimax candidate is determined, compares the acquired evaluation value and the minimax candidate, and terminates selection of a state corresponding to the action when the evaluation value is lower than the minimax candidate and selects an unselected action from the action set; and outputs an action corresponding to the determined minimax.

  • Publication number: 20160172899
    Abstract: An operation schedule generating apparatus generates an operation schedule for controlling a storage battery. The operation schedule generating apparatus obtains solar radiation information and a remaining charge of the storage battery; detects a change in the solar radiation information within a predetermined time period preceding a current time; obtains, from a storage, a first threshold candidate corresponding to a first time when the change in the solar radiation information is detected, first solar radiation information at the first time, and the remaining charge of the storage battery at the first time, and a second threshold candidate corresponding to second solar radiation information and the remaining charge of the storage battery at a second time that precedes the first time by the predetermined time period or more; selects one of the first threshold candidate and the second threshold candidate; and adjusts the operation schedule based on the selected threshold candidate.

  • Patent number: 8427470
    Abstract: A 3-dimensional model of an antigen is regarded as a display subject and a 3-dimensional model of an antibody is regarded as a comparison subject. A portion of the molecular surface of the display subject at a distance enabling binding with the comparison subject is cut out as a display surface. The 3-dimensional model of the antigen, which is the display subject, is displayed in a rotated state, where the normal of the display surface is rotated to point in a counter viewing direction, whereby the 3-dimensional model is rotated in a viewing coordinate system. The display surface alone is displayed in color, whereas other portions of the molecular surface are not, thereby enabling the display surface of the antigen that is at a distance enabling binding with the antibody to be displayed at a position easily viewed by the user.
