The lifestyle-related information 65 and the environment information 66 are typically input through a portable terminal or a terminal device of each consumer. However, for example, when such information exists in a server other than the storage unit 15 or the power management apparatus 10, the information may be acquired from the storage unit 15 or such a server.
次に、電力管理装置10から出力される情報について説明する。
Next, information output from the power management apparatus 10 will be described.
電力管理装置10からは、提示情報70として、特定機器の導入当初に予想された経済性を示す情報71、現状予想される経済性を示す情報72、及び、改善プラン73(設備の入れ替えまたは導入提案)が出力される。なお、実施の形態1では、導入当初に予想された経済性を示す情報71、及び、現状予想される経済性を示す情報72として、経済性を示す指標が用いられる。このような提示情報70の詳細は後述する。

In the first embodiment, an index indicating economy is used as the information 71 indicating the economy expected at the beginning of introduction and the information 72 indicating the economy expected at present. Details of such presentation information 70 will be described later.

以下、電力管理装置10の動作(情報提示処理)について説明する。図4は、電力管理装置10の情報提示処理を示すフローチャートである。 [Operation]
Hereinafter, the operation (information presentation process) of thepower management apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing information presentation processing of the power management apparatus 10.
以下、電力管理装置10の動作(情報提示処理)について説明する。図4は、電力管理装置10の情報提示処理を示すフローチャートである。 [Operation]
Hereinafter, the operation (information presentation process) of the
まず、電力管理装置10の機器取得部は、導入済みのPVパネル40の設置価格を含む情報である特定機器に関する情報を取得し(S10)、第一取得部11は、PVパネル40の導入時における需要家20の電力の使用状況に関連する第一情報を取得する(S11)。そして、情報出力部14は、導入時の投資回収年(第一指標の一例。以下、第一投資回収年とも記載する。)を算出する(S12)。投資回収年は、経済性を示す指標の一例であり、例えば、以下の式1で求められる。
First, the device acquisition unit of the power management apparatus 10 acquires information on a specific device, which is information including the installation price of the installed PV panel 40 (S10). The 1st information relevant to the usage condition of the electric power of the consumer 20 in is acquired (S11). Then, the information output unit 14 calculates an investment payback year at the time of introduction (an example of a first index; hereinafter, also referred to as a first investment payback year) (S12). The investment payback year is an example of an index indicating economic efficiency, and is obtained by the following formula 1, for example.
式1において、年間予想発電量は、第一の時点におけるPVパネル40の発電量(電力測定装置200が測定した実測値)に基づいて算出される1年分の発電量の予測値である。年間予想発電量(PVパネル40の発電量)は、電力計測値に関する情報62に含まれる第一情報に相当する。なお、1年分の発電量の実測値が取得できる場合は、年間予想発電量に代えて、1年分の発電量の実測値が用いられてもよい。
In Equation 1, the annual predicted power generation amount is a predicted value of the power generation amount for one year calculated based on the power generation amount of the PV panel 40 at the first time point (actual value measured by the power measurement device 200). The annual predicted power generation amount (power generation amount of the PV panel 40) corresponds to the first information included in the information 62 regarding the power measurement value. In addition, when the actual value of the power generation amount for one year can be acquired, the actual value of the power generation amount for one year may be used instead of the annual predicted power generation amount.
また、自家消費電力単価(買電単価)は、28円/kWh、売電単価は、37円/kWhのように表され、このような情報は、上述の電力価格情報63に含まれる第一情報に相当する。
The unit power consumption unit price (power purchase unit price) is represented as 28 yen / kWh, and the power sale unit price is represented as 37 yen / kWh. Such information is included in the first power price information 63 described above. It corresponds to information.
ここで、自家消費率及び売電率は、次の式2及び式3で表される。
Here, the self-consumption rate and the power sale rate are expressed by the following formulas 2 and 3.
月間自家消費量及び月間売電量は、kWhで表され、このような情報は、上述の電力計測値に関する情報62に含まれる第一情報に相当する。なお、上記の式では、一例として、月間自家消費量及び月間売電量に基づいて自家消費率及び売電率が算出されている。しかしながら、自家消費率及び売電率は、数ヶ月単位の自家消費量及び売電量に基づいて算出されてもよいし、年単位の自家消費量及び売電量に基づいて算出されてもよい。
The monthly private consumption amount and the monthly power sale amount are represented by kWh, and such information corresponds to the first information included in the information 62 relating to the above-described power measurement value. In the above formula, as an example, the self-consumption rate and the power sale rate are calculated based on the monthly self-consumption amount and the monthly power sale amount. However, the self-consumption rate and the power sale rate may be calculated based on the self-consumption amount and the power sale amount in units of several months, or may be calculated based on the self-consumption amount and the power sale amount in units of years.
次に、電力管理装置10の第二取得部12は、現時点における需要家20の電力の使用状況に関連する第二情報を取得する(S13)。そして、情報出力部14は、現時点において予想される投資回収年(第二指標の一例。以下、第二投資回収年とも記載する。)を算出する(S14)。投資回収年の算出方法は、上述の通りである。なお、この場合の自家消費電力単価及び売電単価は、上述の電力価格情報63に含まれる第二情報に相当し、月間自家消費量及び月間売電量は、上述の電力計測値に関する情報62に含まれる第二情報に相当する。
Next, the second acquisition unit 12 of the power management apparatus 10 acquires second information related to the current power usage state of the customer 20 (S13). Then, the information output unit 14 calculates the expected investment recovery year (an example of the second index, hereinafter also referred to as the second investment recovery year) (S14). The method for calculating the investment recovery year is as described above. In this case, the private power consumption unit price and the power sale unit price correspond to the second information included in the above-described power price information 63, and the monthly private consumption amount and the monthly power sale amount are included in the information 62 regarding the above-described power measurement value. It corresponds to the second information included.
次に、情報出力部14は、算出した第一投資回収年と、算出した第二投資回収年とを比較し、現時点において予想される投資回収年が、導入時において予想される投資回収年よりも(所定値以上)長いか否かを判定する(S15)。情報出力部14は、具体的には、第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年が所定の閾値以上であるか否かを判定する。
Next, the information output unit 14 compares the calculated first investment recovery year with the calculated second investment recovery year, and the expected investment recovery year at the present time is greater than the expected investment recovery year at the time of introduction. Is also determined (S15). Specifically, the information output unit 14 determines whether the second investment recovery year / first investment recovery year is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.
第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年が所定の閾値以上である場合(S15でYes)、つまり、投資回収年が当初の予想よりも長くなっている場合、情報出力部14は、改善プランの試算を行う(S16)。第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年が所定の閾値未満である場合(S15でNo)は、情報提示処理は終了となる。なお、所定の閾値(≒上記所定値)はどのように設定されてもよいが、実施の形態1では、所定の閾値は1である。
When the second investment recovery year / first investment recovery year is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (Yes in S15), that is, when the investment recovery year is longer than originally expected, the information output unit 14 determines the improvement plan. (S16). If the second investment recovery year / first investment recovery year is less than the predetermined threshold (No in S15), the information presentation process is terminated. Note that the predetermined threshold value (≈the predetermined value) may be set in any way, but in the first embodiment, the predetermined threshold value is 1.
以下、ステップS16の改善プランの試算について、図5のフローチャートを用いて説明する。図5は、改善プランの試算処理のフローチャートである。
Hereinafter, the trial calculation of the improvement plan in step S16 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an improvement plan trial calculation process.
まず、電力管理装置10の情報出力部14は、情報提示の対象となる需要家20がPVパネルを所有しているか否かを判定する(S21)。
First, the information output unit 14 of the power management apparatus 10 determines whether or not the consumer 20 as an information presentation target has a PV panel (S21).
需要家20がPVパネルを所有していない場合(S21でNo)、情報出力部14は、需要家20が蓄電装置を所有しているか否かを判定する(S22)。ここで、需要家20が蓄電装置を所有していない場合(S22でNo)には、装置の入れ替えまたは追加の試算は行われず、PVパネル又は蓄電装置の新規導入の提案などが行われる(S23)。需要家20が蓄電装置を所有している場合(S22でYes)には、蓄電装置の入れ替えもしくは追加、又は別のPVパネルの追加導入の試算が行われる(S24)。
When the customer 20 does not own the PV panel (No in S21), the information output unit 14 determines whether or not the customer 20 owns the power storage device (S22). Here, when the customer 20 does not own the power storage device (No in S22), replacement of the device or additional trial calculation is not performed, and a proposal for new introduction of the PV panel or the power storage device is performed (S23). ). When the customer 20 owns the power storage device (Yes in S22), trial calculation of replacement or addition of the power storage device or additional introduction of another PV panel is performed (S24).
一方、需要家20がPVパネルを所有している場合(S21でYes)も、情報出力部14は、需要家20が蓄電装置を所有しているか否かを判定する(S25)。ここで、需要家20が蓄電装置を所有していない場合(S25でNo)には、PVパネルの入れ替えもしくは追加、又は、蓄電装置の追加の試算が行われる(S26)。需要家20が蓄電装置を所有している場合(S25でYes)には、PVパネル又は蓄電装置の入れ替え又は追加の試算が行われる(S27)。なお、改善プランの試算の具体例については、後述する。
On the other hand, when the customer 20 owns the PV panel (Yes in S21), the information output unit 14 determines whether or not the customer 20 owns the power storage device (S25). Here, when the customer 20 does not own the power storage device (No in S25), replacement or addition of the PV panel or addition calculation of the power storage device is performed (S26). If the customer 20 owns the power storage device (Yes in S25), replacement of the PV panel or power storage device or additional trial calculation is performed (S27). A specific example of the improvement plan trial will be described later.
以上のようにステップS16において改善プランが試算された後、情報出力部14は、改善プランを提示する(S17)。具体的には、情報出力部14は、改善プランを含む提示情報を携帯端末50に出力し、携帯端末50のディスプレイには、情報提示画面が表示される。
As described above, after the improvement plan is calculated in step S16, the information output unit 14 presents the improvement plan (S17). Specifically, the information output unit 14 outputs presentation information including an improvement plan to the mobile terminal 50, and an information presentation screen is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 50.
最後に、情報の提示を受けた需要家20の居住者が携帯端末50への操作を行うことにより、携帯端末50のディスプレイには購買画面が表示される(S18)。
Finally, the resident of the customer 20 who has received the information performs an operation on the portable terminal 50, whereby a purchase screen is displayed on the display of the portable terminal 50 (S18).
このような情報提示処理は、例えば、需要家20の居住者が携帯端末50の操作等によって電力管理装置10に対して情報提示の要求を行った時等に開始されるが。また、情報提示処理は、その他の任意の時、例えば、数ヵ月毎等定期的に開始されてもよい。また、ステップS11~ステップS15までの処理が定期的に行われ、ステップS15でYesの場合にのみ、ステップS16以降の処理が行われてもよい。
Such information presentation processing is started when, for example, a resident of the customer 20 makes a request for information presentation to the power management apparatus 10 by operating the portable terminal 50 or the like. In addition, the information presentation process may be started periodically at any other time, for example, every several months. Further, the processing from step S11 to step S15 may be periodically performed, and the processing after step S16 may be performed only when Yes in step S15.
[改善プランの試算例1]
次に、上述の改善プランの試算例について説明する。図6は、改善プランの試算例を示す図である。なお、図6は、PVパネル40を導入済みの需要家20に対して、さらにPVパネルの追加導入を提案する場合の改善プランの試算例を示す図である。 [Example of trial calculation of improvement plan 1]
Next, a trial calculation example of the above improvement plan will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a trial calculation example of an improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 6 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing the additional introduction of a PV panel with respect to theconsumer 20 which has already introduced the PV panel 40. FIG.

Next, a trial calculation example of the above improvement plan will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a trial calculation example of an improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 6 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing the additional introduction of a PV panel with respect to the
情報出力部14は、まず、第一取得部11が取得した第一情報に含まれる、導入時(導入時に予想された)の月間自家消費量及び月間売電量に基づいて、導入時の自家消費率及び売電率と、上記式2及び式3とを用いて算出する。図6の例では、導入時の自家消費率は40%、導入時の売電率は60%である。
First, the information output unit 14 uses the self-consumption at the time of introduction based on the monthly self-consumption and the monthly power sales at the time of introduction (estimated at the time of introduction) included in the first information acquired by the first acquisition unit 11. It calculates using a rate and a power sale rate, and the said Formula 2 and Formula 3. In the example of FIG. 6, the self-consumption rate at the time of introduction is 40%, and the power sale rate at the time of introduction is 60%.
次に、情報出力部14は、上述の式1を用いて導入時の投資回収年(第一投資回収年)を算出する。投資回収年の算出には、具体的には、第一取得部11が取得した第一情報に含まれる、導入時(導入時に予想された)の自家消費電力単価及び売電単価と、年間予想発電量と、機器情報取得部13が取得した導入済みの設備の設置価格(導入費用)と、算出した自家消費率及び売電率とが用いられる。なお、図6の例では、需要家20に導入済みのPVパネル40(以下、導入済み設備とも記載する)の設置価格は、200万円であり、導入時の年間予想発電量は、6000kWhである。また、導入時の自家消費電力単価は、15円/kWhであり、導入時の売電単価は、40円/kWhであるとする。この結果、第一投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、11.11年と算出される。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment payback year at the time of introduction (first investment payback year) using the above-described formula 1. Specifically, the calculation of the investment payback year includes the first unit of electricity acquired by the first acquisition unit 11 and the unit price of power consumption and unit price of electricity sold at the time of introduction (estimated at the time of introduction). The power generation amount, the installation price (introduction cost) of the installed equipment acquired by the device information acquisition unit 13, and the calculated self-consumption rate and power sales rate are used. In the example of FIG. 6, the installation price of the PV panel 40 that has been introduced to the customer 20 (hereinafter also referred to as installed equipment) is 2 million yen, and the annual expected power generation at the time of introduction is 6000 kWh. is there. Further, it is assumed that the power consumption unit price at the time of introduction is 15 yen / kWh, and the power sale unit price at the time of introduction is 40 yen / kWh. As a result, the first investment recovery year is calculated as 11.11 years as shown in the following equation.
次に、情報出力部14は、現時点で予想される投資回収年(第二投資回収年)を上記と同様の方法で算出する。ここで、図6の例では、導入から現在まで3年が経過しており、年間予想発電量、自家消費電力単価、及び、売電単価は、導入時から変化していないが、自家消費率40%から60%に増大している。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the expected investment payback year (second investment payback year) in the same manner as described above. Here, in the example of FIG. 6, three years have passed since the introduction, and the annual predicted power generation, unit power consumption unit price, and unit power sale unit price have not changed since the introduction, but the unit consumption rate It has increased from 40% to 60%.
ここで、第二投資回収年は、PVパネルの設置価格が、当初の予想に基づいて2000000÷11.11×3=540000円減額されているものとして算出される。第二投資回収年は、具体的には、下記の式に示されるように、12.73年と算出される。したがって、第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年は、所定の閾値である1以上となる。
Here, the second investment recovery year is calculated assuming that the PV panel installation price has been reduced by 2000000 ÷ 11.11 × 3 = 540000 yen based on the initial forecast. Specifically, the second investment payback year is calculated as 12.73 years as shown in the following formula. Accordingly, the second investment payback year / first investment payback year is 1 or more which is a predetermined threshold.
ここで、導入時よりも増加した自家消費率を減少させるための一つの方法として、発電量を増加させる方法が考えられる。
Here, as a method for reducing the self-consumption rate that has increased from the time of introduction, a method of increasing the amount of power generation can be considered.
そこで、情報出力部14は、このような自家消費率の増加を検出した場合には、PVパネルを追加導入設備として選択し、PVパネルを追加導入した場合の試算を行う。情報出力部14は、PVパネルの機器情報(具体的には、年間予想発電量及び設置価格など)を、機器情報取得部13を通じて取得し、当該PVパネルを追加導入した場合の試算を行う。
Therefore, when such an increase in the self-consumption rate is detected, the information output unit 14 selects a PV panel as an additional installation facility, and performs a trial calculation when the PV panel is additionally installed. The information output unit 14 acquires device information of the PV panel (specifically, the annual predicted power generation amount, installation price, and the like) through the device information acquisition unit 13 and performs a trial calculation when the PV panel is additionally introduced.
例えば、情報出力部14は、年間予想発電量が4000kWhであり、設置価格が100万円のPVパネルを追加導入した場合の試算を行う。具体的には、情報出力部14は、このようなPVパネルを追加導入した場合の自家消費率を算出し、当該自家消費率に基づいて、第一投資回収年を再計算する。例えば、PVパネルの追加導入により、自家消費率が36%、売電率が60%になる場合、第一投資回収年は、再計算の結果、下記の式に示されるように、10.84年となる。
For example, the information output unit 14 performs a trial calculation when an additional PV panel having an annual estimated power generation amount of 4000 kWh and an installation price of 1 million yen is introduced. Specifically, the information output unit 14 calculates a self-consumption rate when such a PV panel is additionally introduced, and recalculates the first investment recovery year based on the self-consumption rate. For example, if the self-consumption rate is 36% and the power selling rate is 60% due to the additional introduction of PV panels, the first investment recovery year is 10.84 as shown in the following formula as a result of recalculation. It will be a year.
次に、情報出力部14は、追加で導入されるPVパネルの投資回収年(第三投資回収年)を算出する。算出方法は、第一投資回収年及び第二投資回収年と同様である。図6の例では、第三投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、現時点から8.06年(導入時から11.06年)と算出される。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment recovery year (third investment recovery year) of the PV panel to be additionally introduced. The calculation method is the same as in the first investment recovery year and the second investment recovery year. In the example of FIG. 6, the third investment payback year is calculated as 8.06 years from the present time (11.06 years from the introduction) as shown in the following formula.
そして、情報出力部14は、再計算された第一投資回収年と、第三投資回収年とがいずれも第二投資回収年よりも短いか否かを判定し、短い場合には、このようなPVパネルの追加導入を提示する改善プランを含む提示情報を出力する。なお、再計算された第一投資回収年と、第三投資回収年とがいずれも第二投資回収年よりも長い場合には、別のPVパネル(例えば、機種の異なるPVパネル)の機器情報を取得し、このPVパネルを需要家20に導入した場合について再度試算が行われる。
Then, the information output unit 14 determines whether both the recalculated first investment recovery year and the third investment recovery year are shorter than the second investment recovery year. The presentation information including the improvement plan that presents the additional introduction of the PV panel is output. If the recalculated first investment recovery year and the third investment recovery year are both longer than the second investment recovery year, the device information of another PV panel (for example, a PV panel of a different model) And the trial calculation is performed again when this PV panel is introduced to the customer 20.
以上のように、情報出力部14は、例えば、第二の時点における自家消費率が、第一の時点における自家消費率よりも小さく、かつ、第二の時点において自家消費電力単価が売電単価よりも低いと判定した場合、追加導入される対象となるPVパネルの機器情報を含む提示情報を出力する。
As described above, the information output unit 14 has, for example, the self-consumption rate at the second time point smaller than the self-consumption rate at the first time point, and the self-consumption power unit price at the second time point is the power selling unit price. If it is determined to be lower than that, presentation information including device information of a PV panel to be additionally introduced is output.
これにより、需要家20の居住者は、投資回収年を短縮するために追加導入が必要なPVパネルの情報を知ることができ、このような情報を参考にしてPVパネルの追加の要否を判断をすることができる。
Thereby, the resident of the customer 20 can know the information of the PV panel that needs to be additionally introduced in order to shorten the investment recovery year, and the necessity of the addition of the PV panel can be determined with reference to such information. Judgment can be made.
[改善プランの試算例2]
次に、上述の改善プランの試算の別の例について説明する。図7は、改善プランの別の試算例を示す図である。なお、図7は、PVパネルを導入済みの需要家20に対して、PVパネルの入れ替えを提案する場合の改善プランの試算例を示す図である。 [Example of trial calculation of improvement plan 2]
Next, another example of the above-described improvement plan trial calculation will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another trial calculation example of the improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 7 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing replacement | exchange of PV panel with respect to theconsumer 20 who has introduced PV panel.
次に、上述の改善プランの試算の別の例について説明する。図7は、改善プランの別の試算例を示す図である。なお、図7は、PVパネルを導入済みの需要家20に対して、PVパネルの入れ替えを提案する場合の改善プランの試算例を示す図である。 [Example of trial calculation of improvement plan 2]
Next, another example of the above-described improvement plan trial calculation will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another trial calculation example of the improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 7 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing replacement | exchange of PV panel with respect to the
情報出力部14は、まず、導入時の自家消費率及び売電率を算出する。そして、情報出力部14は、導入時の投資回収年(第一投資回収年)を算出する。図7の例でも、図6の例と同様に、導入時の自家消費率は40%、導入時の売電率は60%と算出される。また、図7の例でも、図6の例と同様に、導入済み設備の設置価格は、200万円であり、導入時の年間予想発電量は、6000kWhであり、導入時の自家消費電力単価は、15円/kWhであり、導入時の売電単価は、40円/kWhであるとする。したがって、第一投資回収年は、11.11年と算出される。
The information output unit 14 first calculates a private consumption rate and a power selling rate at the time of introduction. Then, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment payback year (first investment payback year) at the time of introduction. In the example of FIG. 7, as in the example of FIG. 6, the self-consumption rate at the time of introduction is calculated as 40%, and the power sale rate at the time of introduction is calculated as 60%. In the example of FIG. 7 as well, as in the example of FIG. 6, the installed price of the installed equipment is 2 million yen, and the estimated annual power generation at the time of introduction is 6000 kWh. Is 15 yen / kWh, and the power selling unit price at the time of introduction is 40 yen / kWh. Therefore, the first investment recovery year is calculated as 11.11 years.
次に、情報出力部14は、現時点で予想される投資回収年(第二投資回収年)を算出する。ここで、図7の例では、導入から現在まで3年が経過しており、自家消費率、自家消費電力単価、及び、売電単価は、導入時から変化していないが、年間予想発電量が導入当初の6000kWhから3600kWhに減少している。よって、第二投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、第一投資回収年よりも長い16.51年と算出される。したがって、第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年は、所定の閾値である1以上となる。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the expected investment recovery year (second investment recovery year). Here, in the example of FIG. 7, three years have passed since the introduction, and the self-consumption rate, the self-consumption power unit price, and the power sale unit price have not changed since the introduction, but the annual estimated power generation amount Has decreased from 6000 kWh at the beginning of introduction to 3600 kWh. Therefore, as shown in the following formula, the second investment payback year is calculated to be 16.51 years that is longer than the first investment payback year. Accordingly, the second investment payback year / first investment payback year is 1 or more which is a predetermined threshold.
ここで、導入時よりも発電量が低下している場合には、PVパネルの追加により発電量を増加させる方法も考えられるが、ここでは、PVパネルの入れ替えによって発電量を増加させる方法について説明する。
Here, when the power generation amount is lower than that at the time of introduction, a method of increasing the power generation amount by adding a PV panel may be considered, but here, a method of increasing the power generation amount by replacing the PV panel is described. To do.
情報出力部14は、このような発電量の低下を検出した場合には、PVパネルを入れ替え導入設備として選択し、PVパネルを導入した場合の試算を行う。情報出力部14は、PVパネルの機器情報を、機器情報取得部13を通じて取得し、当該PVパネルを入れ換え導入した場合の試算を行う。
When the information output unit 14 detects such a decrease in the amount of power generation, the PV panel is replaced and selected as the installation facility, and a trial calculation is performed when the PV panel is introduced. The information output unit 14 acquires the device information of the PV panel through the device information acquisition unit 13, and performs a trial calculation when the PV panel is replaced and introduced.
例えば、情報出力部14は、年間予想発電量が7800kWhであり、設置価格が150万円のPVパネルを入れ替え導入した場合の試算を行う。具体的には、情報出力部14は、このようなPVパネルを入れ替え導入した場合の投資回収年(第三投資回収年)を計算する。なお、この第三投資回収年の計算においては、発電量が増加することにより結果的に自家消費率は向上し、30%となる。
For example, the information output unit 14 performs a trial calculation when a PV panel having an annual estimated power generation amount of 7800 kWh and an installation price of 1.5 million yen is replaced and introduced. Specifically, the information output unit 14 calculates an investment recovery year (third investment recovery year) when such a PV panel is replaced and introduced. In the calculation of the third investment recovery year, the self-consumption rate increases as a result of the increase in the amount of power generation, which is 30%.
また、この第三投資回収年の計算においては、導入済み設備の償却残価も加味される。つまり、この第三投資回収年の計算においては、式1の「PVパネルの設置価格」として、入替導入設備の設置価格と導入済み設備の償却残価(200万円-54万円=146万円)との合計が使用される。第三投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、現時点から11.67年(導入時から14.67年)と算出される。
In addition, in the calculation of the third investment recovery year, the amortized residual value of the installed equipment is taken into account. In other words, in the calculation of the third investment recovery year, as the “PV panel installation price” of Equation 1, the installation price of the replacement installation equipment and the amortized residual value of the installed equipment (2 million yen-540,000 yen = 1.46 million) The sum of the yen) is used. The third investment recovery year is calculated as 11.67 years from the present time (14.67 years from the introduction) as shown in the following formula.
そして、情報出力部14は、第三投資回収年が、第二投資回収年よりも短いか否かを判定し、短い場合には、このようなPVパネルの入れ替え導入を提示する改善プランを含む提示情報を出力する。

[改善プランの試算例3]
以下では、さらに別の改善プランの試算例について説明する。図8は、改善プランの別の試算例を示す図である。なお、図8は、PVパネルを導入済みの需要家20に対して、蓄電池の追加導入を提案する場合の改善プランの試算例を示す図である。 [Example of trial calculation of improvement plan 3]
Below, another trial calculation example of another improvement plan will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating another trial calculation example of the improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing the additional introduction of a storage battery with respect to theconsumer 20 who has already introduced the PV panel.
以下では、さらに別の改善プランの試算例について説明する。図8は、改善プランの別の試算例を示す図である。なお、図8は、PVパネルを導入済みの需要家20に対して、蓄電池の追加導入を提案する場合の改善プランの試算例を示す図である。 [Example of trial calculation of improvement plan 3]
Below, another trial calculation example of another improvement plan will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating another trial calculation example of the improvement plan. In addition, FIG. 8 is a figure which shows the trial calculation example of the improvement plan in the case of proposing the additional introduction of a storage battery with respect to the
情報出力部14は、取得された月間自家消費量及び月間売電量に基づいて、導入時の自家消費率及び売電率を算出する。図8の例では、導入時の自家消費率は70%、導入時の売電率は30%である。
The information output unit 14 calculates a self-consumption rate and a power sale rate at the time of introduction based on the acquired monthly self-consumption amount and monthly power sale amount. In the example of FIG. 8, the self-consumption rate at the time of introduction is 70%, and the power sale rate at the time of introduction is 30%.
次に、情報出力部14は、導入時の投資回収年(第一投資回収年)を算出する。投資回収年の算出には、導入時(導入時に予想された)の自家消費電力単価及び売電単価と、年間予想発電量と、導入済みの設備の設置価格と、算出した自家消費率及び売電率とが用いられる。なお、図8の例では、需要家20に導入済みのPVパネル(以下、導入済み設備とも記載する)の設置価格は、100万円であり、導入時の年間予想発電量は、6000kWhである。また、導入時の自家消費電力単価は、25円/kWhであり、導入時の売電単価は、15円/kWhであるとする。この結果、第一投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、7.57年と算出される。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment recovery year (first investment recovery year) at the time of introduction. The calculation of the payback year is based on the unit price of electricity consumed and the unit price of electricity sold at the time of introduction (estimated at the time of introduction), the estimated annual power generation amount, the installation price of installed equipment, the calculated rate of self-consumption Electricity is used. In the example of FIG. 8, the installation price of the PV panel that has been introduced to the customer 20 (hereinafter also referred to as installed equipment) is 1 million yen, and the estimated annual power generation at the time of introduction is 6000 kWh. . Further, it is assumed that the power consumption unit price at the time of introduction is 25 yen / kWh, and the power sale unit price at the time of introduction is 15 yen / kWh. As a result, the first investment recovery year is calculated as 7.57 years as shown in the following equation.
次に、情報出力部14は、現時点で予想される投資回収年(第二投資回収年)を上記と同様の方法で算出する。ここで、図8の例では、導入から現在まで3年が経過しており、年間予想発電量、自家消費電力単価、及び、売電単価は、導入時から変化していないが、自家消費率70%から30%に低下している。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the expected investment payback year (second investment payback year) in the same manner as described above. Here, in the example of FIG. 8, three years have passed since the introduction, and the annual predicted power generation amount, unit power consumption unit price, and unit power sale unit price have not changed from the time of introduction. It has fallen from 70% to 30%.
第二投資回収年は、PVパネルの設置価格が当初の予想に基づいて1000000÷7.57×3=396000円減額されているものとして算出される。この例では、売電単価が自家消費単価よりも低いため、第二投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、第一投資回収年よりも長い8.59年と算出される。したがって、第二投資回収年/第一投資回収年は、所定の閾値である1以上となる。
The second investment payback year is calculated assuming that the PV panel installation price has been reduced by 1000000 ÷ 7.57 × 3 = 396,000 yen based on the initial forecast. In this example, since the unit price of electricity sales is lower than the unit price of personal consumption, the second investment recovery year is calculated as 8.59 years, which is longer than the first investment recovery year, as shown in the following formula. Accordingly, the second investment payback year / first investment payback year is 1 or more which is a predetermined threshold.
ここで、自家消費率を増加させるための一つの方法として、蓄電池を追加し、単価の低い夜間電力を買電して蓄電池に蓄電し、蓄電された電力を昼間に使用することで発電量を増加させる方法が考えられる。なお、夜間電力の単価は、10円/kWhとする。
Here, as one method for increasing the self-consumption rate, a storage battery is added, low-cost nighttime power is purchased and stored in the storage battery, and the stored power is used in the daytime to reduce the amount of power generation. A method of increasing is conceivable. The unit price of nighttime power is 10 yen / kWh.
情報出力部14は、このように自家消費単価が売電単価よりも大きい場合に自家消費率の減少を検出した場合には、蓄電池(蓄電装置)を追加導入設備として選択し、蓄電池を追加導入した場合の試算を行う。情報出力部14は、蓄電池の機器情報を、機器情報取得部13を通じて取得し、当該蓄電池を追加導入した場合の試算を行う。
If the information output unit 14 detects a decrease in the self-consumption rate when the unit consumption price is larger than the power sale unit price, the information output unit 14 selects the storage battery (power storage device) as an additional installation facility, and additionally installs the storage battery. If you do, make a trial calculation. The information output unit 14 acquires device information of the storage battery through the device information acquisition unit 13 and performs a trial calculation when the storage battery is additionally introduced.
例えば、情報出力部14は、年間予想充放電量が3000kWhであり、設置価格が20万円の蓄電池を追加導入した場合の試算を行う。具体的には、情報出力部14は、このような蓄電池を追加導入した場合の自家消費率を算出し、当該自家消費率に基づいて、第一投資回収年を再計算する。例えば、蓄電池の追加導入により自家消費率が65%に増加すると予想される場合、第一投資回収年は、再計算の結果、下記の式に示されるように、7.68年となる。
For example, the information output unit 14 performs a trial calculation when a storage battery having an annual estimated charge / discharge amount of 3000 kWh and an installation price of 200,000 yen is additionally introduced. Specifically, the information output unit 14 calculates a self-consumption rate when such a storage battery is additionally introduced, and recalculates the first investment recovery year based on the self-consumption rate. For example, when the self-consumption rate is expected to increase to 65% due to the additional introduction of a storage battery, the first investment payback year is 7.68 years as shown in the following formula as a result of recalculation.
次に、情報出力部14は、追加で導入される蓄電池の投資回収年(第三投資回収年)を算出する。算出方法は、第一投資回収年及び第二投資回収年と同様である。図8の例のように、蓄電池が追加される場合の第三投資回収年は、下記の式に示されるように、現時点から4.44年(導入時から7.44年)と算出される。なお、下記の式の「夜間シフトによる差額」とは、自家消費電力単価(昼間の電力単価)と、夜間電力の単価との差分である。
Next, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment recovery year (third investment recovery year) of the additionally installed storage battery. The calculation method is the same as in the first investment recovery year and the second investment recovery year. As shown in the example of FIG. 8, the third investment recovery year when a storage battery is added is calculated as 4.44 years from the present time (7.44 years from the introduction) as shown in the following formula. . The “difference due to night shift” in the following formula is the difference between the unit power consumption (unit price for daytime) and the unit price for nighttime power.
そして、情報出力部14は、再計算された第一投資回収年と、第三投資回収年とが、第二投資回収年よりも短いか否かを判定し、短い場合には、このような蓄電池の追加導入を提示する改善プランを含む提示情報を出力する。
Then, the information output unit 14 determines whether the recalculated first investment recovery year and the third investment recovery year are shorter than the second investment recovery year. Output presentation information including an improvement plan that presents additional introduction of storage batteries.
以上のように、情報出力部14は、第二の時点における自家消費率が、第一の時点における自家消費率よりも大きく、かつ、第二の時点において自家消費電力単価が売電単価よりも高いと判定した場合、追加導入される対象となる蓄電池の機器情報を含む提示情報を出力する。
As described above, the information output unit 14 has the self-consumption rate at the second time point larger than the self-consumption rate at the first time point, and the self-consumption power unit price at the second time point is higher than the power sale unit price. When it determines with being high, the presentation information containing the apparatus information of the storage battery used as the additional introduction object is output.
これにより、需要家20の居住者は、投資回収年を短縮するために導入が必要な蓄電池の情報を知ることができ、このような情報を参考にして蓄電池の追加の要否を判断することができる。
Thereby, the resident of the customer 20 can know the information of the storage battery that needs to be introduced in order to shorten the investment recovery year, and determine whether or not the storage battery needs to be added with reference to such information. Can do.

[効果等]
以上説明したように、実施の形態1に係る電力管理装置10は、電力の使用状況の変化に応じて、候補機器の機器情報を含む提示情報を需要家20に提示する。より具体的には、情報出力部14は、取得された第一情報、及び、取得された特定機器に関する情報に基づいて、第一の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を算出し、取得された第二情報、及び、取得された特定機器に関する情報に基づいて、第二の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を算出する。そして、情報出力部14は、算出した第一の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標、及び、算出した第二の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を比較し、第二の時点の経済性を示す指標のほうが悪化していると判定した場合に試算を行う。 [Effects]
As described above, thepower management apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment presents the presentation information including the device information of the candidate device to the consumer 20 according to the change in the power usage state. More specifically, the information output unit 14 calculates an index indicating the economic efficiency expected at the first time point based on the acquired first information and the acquired information on the specific device. Based on the obtained second information and the acquired information on the specific device, an index indicating the economic efficiency expected at the second time point is calculated. Then, the information output unit 14 compares the index indicating the economics expected at the calculated first time point and the index indicating the economics expected at the calculated second time point, A trial calculation is made when it is judged that the index indicating economic efficiency is worsening.
以上説明したように、実施の形態1に係る電力管理装置10は、電力の使用状況の変化に応じて、候補機器の機器情報を含む提示情報を需要家20に提示する。より具体的には、情報出力部14は、取得された第一情報、及び、取得された特定機器に関する情報に基づいて、第一の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を算出し、取得された第二情報、及び、取得された特定機器に関する情報に基づいて、第二の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を算出する。そして、情報出力部14は、算出した第一の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標、及び、算出した第二の時点において予想される経済性を示す指標を比較し、第二の時点の経済性を示す指標のほうが悪化していると判定した場合に試算を行う。 [Effects]

In the embodiment described above, the investment recovery year is exemplified as an index indicating economic efficiency, but the index indicating economic efficiency is not particularly limited. For example, the index indicating economic efficiency may be ROI (Return On On Investment).
[変形例]
上記の実施の形態では、情報出力部14が投資回収年(経済性を示す指標)を算出したが、例えば、電力管理装置10が特定機器のメーカが管理する場合等には、導入時に算出した投資回収年の情報が履歴として残っているような場合がある。このような場合、第一取得部11は、第一情報として第一の時点における投資回収年を記憶部15などから取得し、情報出力部14は、現時点で予想される投資回収年のみを算出してもよい。つまり、「電力の使用状況に関連する情報」には電力の使用状況に基づいて算出される情報(例えば、投資回収年)が含まれる。 [Modification]
In the above embodiment, theinformation output unit 14 calculates the investment recovery year (an index indicating economic efficiency). For example, when the power management apparatus 10 is managed by the manufacturer of a specific device, the information output unit 14 calculates the investment recovery year. There may be cases where information on the year of return on investment remains in the history. In such a case, the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the investment recovery year at the first time as the first information from the storage unit 15 or the like, and the information output unit 14 calculates only the expected investment recovery year at the present time. May be. That is, the “information related to the power usage status” includes information (for example, investment recovery year) calculated based on the power usage status.
上記の実施の形態では、情報出力部14が投資回収年(経済性を示す指標)を算出したが、例えば、電力管理装置10が特定機器のメーカが管理する場合等には、導入時に算出した投資回収年の情報が履歴として残っているような場合がある。このような場合、第一取得部11は、第一情報として第一の時点における投資回収年を記憶部15などから取得し、情報出力部14は、現時点で予想される投資回収年のみを算出してもよい。つまり、「電力の使用状況に関連する情報」には電力の使用状況に基づいて算出される情報(例えば、投資回収年)が含まれる。 [Modification]
In the above embodiment, the
また、投資回収年は、別の装置(外部サーバ等)によって算出されてもよく、このような場合、第一取得部11は、第一の時点における投資回収年を外部サーバから取得し、第二取得部12は、第二の時点における投資回収年を外部サーバから取得してもよい。
The investment payback year may be calculated by another device (external server or the like). In such a case, the first acquisition unit 11 acquires the investment payback year at the first time point from the external server, and The second acquisition unit 12 may acquire the investment recovery year at the second time point from an external server.
また、上記実施の形態では、第二情報として、現時点の電力測定装置200の実測に基づく、発電量、自家消費率、及び、売電率、並びに、現時点の自家消費電力単価及び売電単価が用いられたが、第二情報には、予測値も含まれる。
In the above-described embodiment, as the second information, the power generation amount, the personal consumption rate, the power sale rate, the current private power consumption unit price and the power sale unit price based on the actual measurement of the current power measurement device 200 are obtained. Although used, the second information includes a predicted value.
例えば、自家消費電力単価及び売電単価が将来的に変動することが分かっている場合には、このような情報が第二情報として使用されてもよい。このような予測値は、例えば、電力会社の管理するサーバ等からこのような提供されてもよいし、電力管理装置10の管理者によってUIを通じて入力されてもよい。
For example, such information may be used as the second information when it is known that the power consumption unit price and the power sale unit price will change in the future. Such a predicted value may be provided, for example, from a server or the like managed by the power company, or may be input by the administrator of the power management apparatus 10 through the UI.
また、電力管理装置10は、図3で説明した環境情報66や、生活スタイルに関する情報65を用いて予測値を算出し、算出した予測値に基づいて投資回収年を算出してもよい。
Further, the power management apparatus 10 may calculate a predicted value using the environment information 66 described with reference to FIG. 3 and information 65 related to lifestyle, and may calculate an investment recovery year based on the calculated predicted value.
例えば、上記実施の形態では、年間予想発電量は、電力測定装置200により測定された実測値に基づいて算出された。しかしながら、年間予想発電量は、環境情報66に含まれる日射量と、需要家20に設けられたPVパネル40の発電効率(この場合の発電効率は、例えば、特定機器に関する情報61に含まれるカタログスペック)とに基づいて予測された発電量であってもよい。
For example, in the above embodiment, the annual predicted power generation amount is calculated based on the actual measurement value measured by the power measurement device 200. However, the annual predicted power generation amount is the amount of solar radiation included in the environmental information 66 and the power generation efficiency of the PV panel 40 provided in the consumer 20 (the power generation efficiency in this case is, for example, a catalog included in the information 61 on the specific device) The power generation amount predicted based on the spec) may be used.
また、例えば、自家消費率は、生活スタイルに関する情報65に含まれる家族構成に基づいて予測されてもよい。例えば、需要家20に居住する人の数の増減があらかじめ分かっているような場合には、このような人数の増減によって自家消費率の予測値を求めることが可能となる。
Further, for example, the self-consumption rate may be predicted based on the family structure included in the information 65 on the lifestyle. For example, when the increase / decrease in the number of people residing in the consumer 20 is known in advance, the predicted value of the self-consumption rate can be obtained by such an increase / decrease in the number of people.
なお、環境情報66、及び、生活スタイルに関する情報65は、典型的には携帯端末50を通じて入力される。しかしながら、例えば、記憶部15や、電力管理装置10以外のサーバ(例えば、気象情報を管理しているサーバ、又は、電力会社が管理するサーバ等)にこのような情報がある場合は、記憶部15や、このようなサーバから情報が取得されてもよい。
Note that the environment information 66 and the lifestyle-related information 65 are typically input through the portable terminal 50. However, for example, when such information exists in the storage unit 15 or a server other than the power management apparatus 10 (for example, a server that manages weather information or a server that is managed by an electric power company), the storage unit 15 and information may be acquired from such a server.
