  • Publication number: 20240305100
    Abstract: A power supply-demand adjustment device performs output distribution to M adjustment power supplies among N adjustment power supplies in a system, based on adjustment information and supply-demand imbalance. The adjustment information includes output change rate, a distributed output, and an output limit value for each adjustment power supply. For each period, the output distribution satisfying the following (x) and (y) is performed; where (x) is the distribution of an output to the adjustment power supply in an increasing direction in ascending or descending order of the adjustment cost; and (y) is regardless of whether an output direction is the increasing or decreasing direction, an output to be distributed to the adjustment power supply in the period is in a reducing direction with respect to reduction in a difference between the distributed output to the adjustment power supply and the output limit value of the adjustment power supply.

  • Publication number: 20180364694
    Abstract: Analysis of a natural energy power source linked to many locations requires an extremely large amount of computation time, so the calculation time is shortened by means of a reduction. However, the determination as to whether each natural energy power source can be reduced is not made in accordance with grid accident conditions, so the analytical precision of a grid reduction model is low.
