  Distribution board 110 is connected to distribution line 31 (system). Distribution board 110 is connected to load 120, storage battery device 140, and fuel cell device 150 via a power line.

  The distribution board 110 includes an ammeter 180 and an ammeter 181. In the present embodiment, the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181 correspond to current sensors.

  Ammeter 180 is used for load following control of storage battery device 140. The ammeter 180 is provided on the power line upstream (side closer to the system) than the connection point between the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 and the power line.

  The ammeter 181 is used for load following control of the fuel cell device 150. The ammeter 181 is provided on the power line upstream of the connection point between each of the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 and the power line (on the side closer to the system).

  Thus, the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181 are provided at positions common to the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 in the power line. Therefore, the current values detected by the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181 are equal.

  The load 120 is a device that consumes power supplied via a power line. For example, the load 120 includes devices such as a refrigerator, a freezer, lighting, and an air conditioner.

  The storage battery device 140 includes a storage battery 141 and a PCS 142. The storage battery 141 is a device that stores electric power. The PCS 142 is a device (Power Conditioning System) that converts AC power supplied from the distribution line 31 (system) into DC power. Further, the PCS 142 converts DC power output from the storage battery 141 into AC power.

  The storage battery device 140 operates by load following control. Specifically, the storage battery device 140 controls the storage battery 141 such that the power output from the storage battery 141 becomes the target power for load follow-up control. In other words, the storage battery device 140 controls the power output from the storage battery 141 so that the value calculated from the current value detected by the ammeter 180 and the voltage value detected by the PCS 142 becomes the target received power.

  The fuel cell device 150 includes a fuel cell 151 and a PCS 152. The fuel cell 151 is an example of a power generation device, and is a device that generates electric power using fuel (gas).

  The fuel cell device 150 operates by load following control. Specifically, the fuel cell device 150 controls the fuel cell 151 so that the power output from the fuel cell 151 becomes the target power for load following control. In other words, the fuel cell device 150 controls the power output from the fuel cell 151 so that the value calculated from the current value detected by the ammeter 181 and the voltage value detected by the PCS 152 becomes the target received power. To do.

  The storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 have different response speeds (load follow-up speeds) indicating output electric energy that can change per unit time. In the present embodiment, the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 have different maximum output power amounts that can change per unit time. Specifically, the maximum output power amount that can change per unit time is larger in the storage battery device 140 than in the fuel cell device 150.

  The hot water storage device 160 is a device that generates hot water or maintains the water temperature using fuel (gas). Specifically, the hot water storage device 160 has a hot water storage tank, and the water supplied from the hot water storage tank is generated by heat generated by combustion of fuel (gas) or exhaust heat generated by operation (power generation) of the fuel cell 151. warm. Specifically, the hot water storage device 160 warms the water supplied from the hot water storage tank and returns the heated hot water to the hot water storage tank.

  The EMS 200 is a device (Energy Management System) that controls the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160. Specifically, the EMS 200 is connected to the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160 via signal lines, and controls the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160. The EMS 200 controls the power consumption of the load 120 by controlling the operation mode of the load 120.

  The EMS 200 is connected to various servers via the network 60 and acquires various types of information. Various servers store, for example, information (hereinafter referred to as energy charge information) such as the unit price of power supplied from the grid, the unit price of power received from the grid, and the unit price of fuel gas.

  Communication between the EMS 200 and each device (the load 120, the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160) is performed according to a predetermined protocol. Examples of the predetermined protocol include a protocol called “ECHONET Lite” or “ECHONET”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the predetermined protocol may be a protocol other than “ECHONET Lite” and “ECHONET”.

(EMS)
Hereinafter, the EMS according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the EMS 200 according to the present embodiment.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the EMS 200 includes a communication unit 210, a storage unit 220, and a control unit 230.

  The communication unit 210 receives various signals from a device connected via a signal line. For example, the communication unit 210 may receive information indicating the storage amount of the storage battery 141 from the storage battery device 140. The communication unit 210 may receive information indicating the power generation amount of the fuel cell 151 from the fuel cell device 150. The communication unit 210 may receive information indicating the amount of hot water stored in the hot water storage device 160 from the hot water storage device 160.

  In addition, the communication unit 210 transmits various signals to a device connected via a signal line. For example, the communication unit 210 transmits a signal for controlling the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160 to each device. The communication unit 210 transmits a control signal for controlling the load 120 to the load 120. The communication unit 210 receives the current value detected by the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181 from the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181 connected via the signal line.

  The storage unit 220 stores various information used for control by the control unit 230. The storage unit 220 stores priorities determined for each of the plurality of distributed power sources. The priority may be set by user input.

  Or a priority may be defined according to the cost of the unit electric energy which each of a some distributed power supply (the storage battery apparatus 140 and the fuel cell apparatus 150) outputs. In this case, it is preferable to set the priority for each of the plurality of distributed power sources so that the priority is increased as the cost of the unit power amount is lower. The unit power cost is determined according to the unit price of power supplied from the grid, the unit price of power received from the grid, the unit price of fuel gas purchased, and the like.

  The control unit 230 controls the load 120, the storage battery device 140, the fuel cell device 150, and the hot water storage device 160. Further, the control unit 230 controls a response speed of at least one of the plurality of distributed power sources (the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150). The control unit 230 controls the response speed of at least one of the distributed power supplies so that the response speed of the distributed power supply with high priority is faster than the response speed of the distributed power supply with low priority.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 230 limits at least one of the distributed power sources by limiting the output power amount that can change per unit time so as to be smaller than the maximum output power amount that can change per unit time. Controls the response speed of the.

  For example, the control unit 230 limits the output power amount that can be increased per unit time so as to be smaller than the maximum output power amount that can be increased per unit time. Alternatively, the amount of output power that can be reduced per unit time is limited to be smaller than the maximum output power amount that can be reduced per unit time.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining the maximum output power amount that can be increased per unit time. In FIG. 4A, θ1max indicates the maximum output power amount that can be increased per unit time in the storage battery device 140. θ2max indicates the maximum output power amount that can be increased per unit time in the fuel cell device 150.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the maximum output power amount θmax that can be increased per unit time is larger in the storage battery device 140 than in the fuel cell device 150. In other words, the storage battery device 140 has a faster response speed than the fuel cell device 150. Therefore, the storage battery device 140 immediately follows the change in power consumption of the load 120, but the fuel cell device 150 cannot immediately follow.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of transition of output power of each of the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 with respect to a change in power consumption of the load. As shown in FIG. 4B, the output power of the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 changes as the power consumption (solid line) of the load 120 changes. Here, consider a case where the power consumption of the load 120 increases at time t2 after the power consumption of the load 120 sharply decreases at time t1.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the output power of the storage battery device 140 decreases during the period in which the power consumption of the load 120 sharply decreases, but the decrease in the output power of the storage battery device 140 is less than the power consumption of the load 120. Since it cannot catch up with the decrease, the output power of the fuel cell device 150 also decreases.

  On the other hand, in the period when the power consumption of the load increases, the output of the storage battery device 140 first increases. And the output of the storage battery apparatus 140 reaches the maximum output electric energy. Here, of the power consumption in the load 120, the amount that cannot be covered by the output of the storage battery device 140 is maintained as the output of the fuel cell device 150. That is, the output of the storage battery device 140 is maximized, and the remaining amount is still supplied from the fuel cell device 150.

  Here, when the cost of the unit power amount to be output is lower in the fuel cell device 150 than in the storage battery device 140, a sufficient cost reduction cannot be achieved. That is, rather, the output of the fuel cell device 150 should be increased and the output of the storage battery device 140 should be decreased.

  Therefore, when the fuel cell device 150 is cheaper than the storage battery device 140, the priority of the fuel cell device 150 is set higher than the priority of the storage battery device 140. be able to. In such a case, the priority may be set by the user. Alternatively, the control unit 230 may set the priority based on various information stored in the storage unit 220. Furthermore, the control unit 230 limits the output power amount that can be increased per unit time, thereby slowing down the response speed of the storage battery device 140 having a low priority.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram for explaining an example of limiting the amount of output power that can be increased per unit time.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the control unit 230 causes the storage battery device 140 per unit time so as to be smaller than the maximum output power amount θ1max (see FIG. 4 (a)) that can be increased per unit time. The output power amount θ1 that can be increased is limited. For example, the control unit 230 limits the output power amount θ1 that can be increased per unit time in the storage battery device 140 to the maximum output power amount θ2max that can be increased per unit time in the fuel cell device 150. Here, “limit” means that the control unit 230 transmits a signal having a parameter for designating an upper limit value of the maximum output power per unit time to the distributed power source such as the storage battery device 140 from the communication unit 210. This is realized by limiting the output per unit time within the upper limit specified by the distributed power source such as the storage battery device 140 that has received the. Here, the control unit 230 generates a signal having a parameter for designating an upper limit value in a format conforming to a predetermined protocol (ECHONET Lite or the like).

  FIG. 5B shows changes in output power of each of the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 with respect to a change in power consumption of the load when the output power amount θ1 that can be increased per unit time in the storage battery device 140 is limited. It is a figure which shows an example. As shown in FIG. 5B, the output power of the storage battery device 140 and the fuel cell device 150 changes as the power consumption (solid line) of the load 120 changes. Here, consider a case where the power consumption of the load 120 increases at time t2 after the power consumption of the load 120 sharply decreases at time t1.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, by limiting the output power amount θ1 that can be increased per unit time in the storage battery device 140, the output power of the fuel cell device 150 is reduced during the period when the power consumption of the load 120 increases. The increase in the output power of the fuel cell device 150 catches up with the increase in the power consumption of the load 120. On the other hand, the output power of the storage battery device 140 is maintained without increasing. Therefore, when the fuel cell device 150 is cheaper than the storage battery device 140, the cost of the unit power to be output can be reduced sufficiently.

(Control method)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a control method according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in step S110, the control unit 230 acquires the priority of each distributed power source. For example, the priority is set to be higher as the cost of the unit power amount is lower. The unit power cost is determined according to the unit price of power supplied from the grid, the unit price of power received from the grid, the unit price of fuel gas purchased, and the like.

  In step S <b> 120, the control unit 230 limits the output power amount θ that can be increased per unit time for the distributed power sources with the second priority or higher. For example, the control unit 230 sets the output power amount θ that can be increased per unit time in the distributed power source with the second priority or higher to the maximum output power amount θmax that can be increased per unit time in the distributed power source with the highest priority. Restrict to:

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent only the distributed power supply having a high response speed from operating, and therefore it is possible to appropriately control the outputs of the plurality of distributed power supplies. Moreover, since it is not necessary to make the load which a distributed power supply should supply electric power between several distributed power supplies, the expansion of the scale of the distribution board 110 can be suppressed.

[Example of change]
Below, the example of a change of embodiment mentioned above is explained.

  In the embodiment described above, the control unit 230 controls the response speed of the distributed power supply by limiting the output power amount θ that can be increased per unit time.

  On the other hand, in this modified example, the control unit 230 controls the response speed of the distributed power supply by adjusting the cycle for performing the load following control. For example, the control unit 230 controls the response speed of the distributed power supply by adjusting the period for acquiring the current value detected by the current sensor (the ammeter 180 and the ammeter 181).

  FIG. 7A is a diagram for explaining a cycle (control cycle) for performing load following control. Here, a case is assumed in which the control cycles of storage battery device 140 and fuel cell device 150 are equal in the initial state.

  As shown to Fig.7 (a), the storage battery apparatus 140 performs load follow-up control with the period T1. Specifically, the storage battery device 140 acquires the current value detected by the ammeter 180 at the period T1, and the value calculated from the acquired current value and the voltage value detected by the PCS 142 is the target received power. Thus, the electric power output from the storage battery 141 is controlled.

  The fuel cell device 150 performs load follow-up control in cycle 2. For example, the fuel cell device 150 acquires the current value detected by the ammeter 181 at the cycle T2, and the value calculated from the acquired current value and the voltage value detected by the PCS 152 becomes the target received power. As described above, the power output from the fuel cell 151 is controlled.

  As described above, the maximum output electric energy θmax that can be increased per unit time is larger in the storage battery device 140 than in the fuel cell device 150. In other words, the storage battery device 140 has a faster response speed than the fuel cell device 150. Therefore, the storage battery device 140 immediately follows the change in power consumption of the load 120, but the fuel cell device 150 cannot immediately follow.

  Therefore, the control unit 230 determines the priority of the fuel cell device 150 over the priority of the storage battery device 140 when the fuel cell device 150 is cheaper than the storage battery device 140 in terms of the output unit power. Set high. Furthermore, the control part 230 makes the response speed of the storage battery apparatus 140 with a low priority low by adjusting the period which performs load follow-up control.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram for explaining an example of adjusting the cycle for performing the load follow-up control.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7B, the control unit 230 performs load tracking control so that the cycle in which the fuel cell device 150 performs load tracking control is shorter than the cycle in which the storage battery device 140 performs load tracking control. Adjust the period. In the example of FIG. 7B, the control unit 230 extends the cycle in which the storage battery device 140 performs load follow-up control. Alternatively, the control unit 230 may shorten the cycle in which the fuel cell device 150 performs the load follow-up control if the cycle in which the fuel cell device 150 performs the load follow-up control can be shortened.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control method according to this modification.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in step S210, the control unit 230 acquires the priority of each distributed power source. For example, the priority is set to be higher as the cost of the unit power amount is lower. The unit power cost is determined according to the unit price of power supplied from the grid, the unit price of power received from the grid, the unit price of fuel gas purchased, and the like.

  In step S <b> 220, the control unit 230 extends the period for performing the load following control for the distributed power sources with the second priority or higher. For example, the control unit 230 makes the cycle in which the distributed power source with the second priority or higher performs load tracking control longer than the cycle in which the distributed power source with the highest priority performs load tracking control.

  Thus, by extending the cycle in which the storage battery device 140 performs load follow-up control, the response speed of the storage battery device 140 is reduced. Therefore, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. Specifically, when the fuel cell device 150 is cheaper than the storage battery device 140, the cost of unit power to be output can be reduced sufficiently.
