Description

  The present invention relates to an earthquake response support system that supports the response of an electric power company when an earthquake occurs.

  The electricity distributed from the power company through the distribution network is supplied to the customer's house through the service line. The usage situation including the usage amount of electric power at the customer's house can be detected by an electric energy meter or a smart meter.

  By the way, even if a large-scale earthquake occurs, if there is no failure in the distribution network, power is continuously supplied to the customer's house. For this reason, when an earthquake occurs, for example, when using an electric heating device including an iron or electric cooker, it is necessary for the consumer to immediately drop the breaker or unplug the outlet to prevent a fire. . When a large-scale earthquake occurs, if the supply of power to the customer's house can be stopped as necessary, the safety of the customer can be ensured.

  Therefore, a technology related to a watt-hour meter that can stop feeding of the load-side distribution line at the time of an earthquake and can conduct current after confirming that there is no short-circuit of the load-side distribution line is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In this technology, when vibrations such as earthquakes are detected, the load side distribution line that supplies power to the indoors is shut off with a switch. When it is determined that the switch is not present, the switch is turned on by an operation from the operation unit.

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 forcibly stops the supply of electric power indoors when an earthquake occurs. However, even if the seismic intensity is the same, the damage situation and the electric equipment used are different for each customer's house, so it is necessary to individually determine whether to stop or continue supplying power.

  Also, in the event of a large-scale earthquake, electric power companies will need to take measures including restoration of power outages and inspection of distribution facilities and distribution networks. To that end, it is necessary to grasp the detailed seismic intensity distribution in the power supply area of the power company. Therefore, by measuring the seismic intensity at each customer's house and transmitting it to the electric power company using the communication function of the smart meter, it is possible to grasp the seismic intensity distribution in detail for each customer, and it is possible to quickly formulate an appropriate recovery plan. I thought it was possible.

  Furthermore, when a large-scale earthquake occurs, it takes a lot of labor and time to confirm the safety of residents.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems and provide an earthquake occurrence response support system for assisting in an electric power company when an earthquake occurs.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a power consumption measuring means for measuring a power consumption of a customer's house, a vibration detection means for detecting a vibration due to an earthquake, and a stop of supply of power to the indoors.

In this case, when the output means notifies that the supply of electric power to the customer's house is stopped and the input means inputs that the supply may be stopped, the supply of electric power is stopped, and the safety confirmation means The safety of the consumer is confirmed based on the power consumption measured by the power consumption measuring means and the presence / absence of input to the input means when the output means notifies that the supply is stopped. This is an earthquake response support system characterized by that.

  According to this invention, when the vibration detection means detects vibration satisfying the predetermined condition by the earthquake occurrence support means, the output means notifies that the supply of power to the customer's house is stopped, and the input means When it is input that the supply can be stopped via the power supply, the supply of power to the customer's house is stopped. Further, based on the power consumption measured by the power consumption measuring means by the safety confirmation means and the presence / absence of input to the input means when the power supply control means notifies the output means to stop supplying, The safety of the consumer is confirmed.

  The invention described in claim 2 is the earthquake response support system according to claim 1, which is installed in an electric power company, acquires vibrations from the watt-hour meter with communication function of each customer's house, and acquires the vibrations And a vibration distribution creating means for creating a vibration distribution based on the above.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, when the vibration detection means detects vibration satisfying a predetermined condition, the output means stops the supply of power to the customer's house by the earthquake occurrence support means. Then, when the fact that the supply can be stopped is input via the input means, the supply of power to the customer's house can be stopped. That is, when an earthquake occurs, it is possible to support the response at the electric power company.

  In addition, the supply of power to the customer's house can be stopped only when the supply stop is input via the input means. Thereby, even if it is the seismic intensity of the same earthquake, it becomes possible for a consumer to judge whether supply of electric power is stopped or continued according to a damage situation and the electric equipment currently used.

  Further, based on the power consumption measured by the power consumption measuring means by the safety confirmation means and the presence / absence of input to the input means when the power supply control means notifies the output means to stop supplying, The safety of the consumer is confirmed. That is, since the safety of each customer can be confirmed when an earthquake occurs, it is possible to grasp human damage.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, specifically, the vibration of each customer's house can be grasped by acquiring the vibration at each customer's house using the communication function of the watt-hour meter with communication function. Detailed vibration distribution can be created, and an appropriate recovery plan can be created quickly.
