The present invention relates to a power supply system, a power supply method, and a program.

Power distribution systems are known in which a contract is made with an electric power company and power supplied from the power grid is distributed to each unit in an apartment building. Contracts with electric power companies include a lump-sum contract for high-voltage power and a lump-sum contract for low-voltage power. Note that in the case of a lump-sum contract for high-voltage power, a high-voltage power receiving and transforming device is required to supply power from the power grid to each unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In recent years, there has also been a demand for the use of renewable energy, with some apartment buildings equipped with solar panels and storage batteries. Furthermore, there is a demand for ZEHs (Net Zero Energy Houses), which aim to achieve zero annual primary energy consumption by significantly improving the insulation performance of the exterior envelope and introducing highly efficient equipment systems to achieve significant energy savings while maintaining the quality of the indoor environment, and then introducing renewable energy. For this reason, apartment buildings such as those mentioned above are being required to significantly improve insulation performance and install solar panels, storage batteries, etc.

<Business model overview>
First, an outline of the business model in the embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS.
1 is a diagram showing an overview of a power supply system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , the power supply system 1 includes, for example, a home 2, a home 3, a power company 4, a distributor 5, a home 6, and a power supply destination 7.

Residence 2 is an apartment building or a single-family home. Residence 2 is equipped with a solar power generation system.

Residence 3 is an apartment building or a single-family home. Residence 3 is equipped with a solar power generation system and a storage battery.

Power company 4 purchases surplus electricity from homes 2 and 3 through intermediary company 5. Note that power company 4 may purchase electricity from home 2, which does not have a storage battery, at the standard price, and from home 3, which has a storage battery, at a premium price higher than the standard price. Power company 4 supplies the electricity purchased through intermediary company 5 to, for example, home 6 constructed by intermediary company 5 and to intermediary company 5's power supply destination 7.

The builders of houses 2 and 3 may rent their roofs, etc. to intermediary company 5. In that case, intermediary company 5 will install a solar power generation system on the roof rented from the builder of house 2 and will maintain and manage the solar power generation system. Intermediary company 5 will install a solar power generation system on the roof rented from the builder of house 3, install a storage battery, and will maintain and manage the solar power generation system and storage battery. Intermediary company 5 will act as an intermediary for electricity from power company 4.

Residence 6 is, for example, a residence constructed by agency company 5. Residence 6 may be an apartment building or a single residence.

The power supply destinations 7 are operated by the distributor 5 or the power company 4, and are, for example, offices 71, exhibition halls 72, and factories 73.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing an overview of another power supply system according to an embodiment. The power supply system 1A shown in Figure 2 includes, for example, a home 20 under contract with the distributor 5 (Figure 1), an electric vehicle 23, a consumer 24, an owner (builder) 25 of the home 20, a wholesale electricity market 26, a second business operator 27, a home 28, and an office 29 of the first business operator.

The house 20 is, for example, a rental apartment building, and is equipped with a distributed power source 21 having, for example, a solar power generation system and a storage battery.
The power generated or stored in the distributed power source 21 is supplied at a low cost to the facilities of multiple consumers 24 residing in the house 20 via the first business operator. During a power outage, the distributed power source 21 supplies power stored in a storage battery to, for example, a common area. The distributed power source 21 may also be linked to, for example, an electric vehicle 23 of a consumer 24 to supply power to the electric vehicle.

The first business operator 22 is, for example, the intermediary company 5 in Figure 1. The first business operator 22 supplies surplus electricity from the residence 20 to the second business operator. The first business operator 22 also purchases electricity at a low price from the second business operator 27. The relationship between the first business operator 22 and the second business operator 27 is as shown in the dashed rectangle g10. Furthermore, if the owner 25 rents the roof of the residence 20 to the first business operator, the first business operator 22 may pay the owner 25 rent for the roof, for example, based on the number of solar cell modules or the amount of electricity generated or consumed.

The house 28 is another house whose roof is rented to the first business operator 22. A solar cell module has been installed on the roof of the house 28 by the first business operator.
The second business operator 27 has a power grid. The second business operator 27 purchases surplus power generated by the distributed power sources 21 via the first business operator 22, and purchases power from the wholesale power market 26. The second business operator 27 purchases surplus power from homes 28. The second business operator 27 supplies this power to the first business operator's business establishments 29 and the like.
The system shown in FIG. 2 is an example and is not limited to this.

Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an overview of an apartment building equipped with a solar power generation system and a storage battery. As shown in Figure 3, residence 3 is equipped with a solar power generation system 31, a storage battery 32, and a higher-level metering device 33. Residence 3 also has a common area 34 and a residential area 35. Common area 34 is equipped with, for example, lighting, a common entrance unit, an electric key control device, electrical outlets, and a telephone security box. Residential area 35 is equipped with, for example, six units, 101-103 and 201-203. Each unit in residential area 35 is equipped with a lower-level metering device 36. Note that in the example of Figure 3, power conditioners, breakers, etc. are omitted.

In the business model of this embodiment, it is the intermediary company that enters into a lump-sum contract for low-voltage electricity with the electric power company. Residents of the residential area 35 then enter into an electricity supply contract with the intermediary company and pay their electricity bills to the intermediary company.

Under normal circumstances, as described above, the electricity received collectively from low-voltage power sources and the generated electricity are supplied to the common area 34 and the residential area 35. For example, during the day, the electricity generated by the solar power generation system 31 is supplied to each residence and stored in the storage battery 32. Then, at night, the electricity stored in the storage battery 32 is supplied to each residence. In this way, in this embodiment, the generated electricity is used in the apartment complex as much as possible, and the amount of electricity purchased from the power utility company can be reduced.

In the event of a power outage, power is supplied to the common area 34 from the storage battery 32. Furthermore, in the event of a power outage, power for wireless communication is supplied from the common area 34 to each unit in the residential area 35, for example, via an access point 37 via a LAN (Local Area Network) cable.

Note that the configurations shown in Figures 1 to 3 are only an overview and are not limited to these. The number of units in an apartment building may be five or less, or seven or more.

As described above, according to the business model of the embodiment, by having the tenants purchase the generated electricity, it not only raises the tenants' awareness of contributing to the environment but also encourages local production and consumption of electricity. According to the business model of the embodiment, by using the purchased electricity at power supply destinations 7 operated by the intermediary company 5 or the power company 4, it contributes to replacing the electricity consumed in the business activities of the intermediary company 5 and the power company 4 with renewable energy, and more broadly contributes to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.

Furthermore, according to the business model of the embodiment, building owners can own rental housing with high environmental value and resilience without incurring the costs of installing and maintaining facilities, thereby strengthening their competitiveness in attracting tenants and satisfying their need to participate in a decarbonized society. Furthermore, according to the business model of the embodiment, tenants can purchase electricity with a high proportion of renewable energy at a lower price than major power companies, not only fostering a sense of contribution to a decarbonized society, but also, in the event of a power outage due to a disaster, they can use the electricity supplied to common areas from the storage battery to charge their smartphones, for example, which helps to alleviate information shortages after a disaster.

In a conventional apartment building, for example, if a solar power generation system or the like is installed in each residence, the amount of electricity used varies from residence to residence. Therefore, for example, electricity from an unoccupied residence is sold and not distributed to residences that consume a lot of electricity, and the shortfall in electricity must be purchased from the power company. In contrast, in this embodiment, if there is surplus electricity, it can be distributed to residences that need it.

First Embodiment
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an apartment building facility according to this embodiment. The apartment building shown in Fig. 4 is an example of a house 3 equipped with a photovoltaic power generation system and a storage battery.

The apartment building facility 100 is connected to a grid 10 from, for example, an electric power company. The grid 10 is a low-voltage collective power receiving system.

In the apartment complex facility 100 of this embodiment, a power supply node 121 that supplies power from the distributed power source 104 is provided between the power receiving panel 102 and the distribution panel 106. As described below, the power supply node 121 includes, for example, a sensor 103 and a terminal block (Figure 13).

In addition, in Figure 4, solid connection lines are power lines, dashed lines are signal lines, and dashed lines are communication lines that can supply power, for example. Note that earth wires and other wiring are omitted from Figure 4.

Note that while Figure 4 shows two units as an example of consumer facilities for the sake of simplicity, the number of units in the apartment complex facility 100 is not limited to this, as mentioned above. The apartment complex facility 100 may also be equipped with an output control device that includes, for example, a remote control for controlling the output of the solar cell modules 1041, a device for accepting remote operation from outside the home, etc. The apartment complex facility 100 may also be equipped with, for example, a solar power expansion panel so that it can accommodate the addition of solar cell modules.

The upper meter device 101 has an input side connected to the grid 10 from the electric power company, and an output side connected to the input side of the power receiving panel 102 .
The output side of the power receiving board 102 is connected to the input side of the distribution board 106 and to the first output side of the control device 105 via the power feeding node 121 .
The power receiving panel 102 has an output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 107 and the input side of the branching section 115 .
The output side of the lower-level meter device 107 is connected to the input side of a distribution board 108 .
The distribution board 108 has an output side to which a first input side of the switching board 109 and an outlet 1103 in the common area 110 are connected.
The switchboard 109 has a second input side connected to the second output side of the control device 105, and an output side connected to a router 1101 and a socket 1102 in the common section 110.
The control device 105 has a solar cell module 1041 connected to a first control side and a storage battery 1042 connected to a second control side.
The branching section 115 has a first output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 111 and a second output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 113 .
The lower-level meter device 111 has a customer facility 112 connected to its output side.
The lower-level meter device 113 has a customer facility 114 connected to its output side.

The upper meter device 101 is a meter for measuring the amount of electricity contracted with an electric power company, and is a collective power receiving meter. The upper meter device 101 measures the amount of electricity consumed by the multiple consumer facilities (112, 114) and the amount of electricity consumed by the common area 110. The upper meter device 101 may be, for example, a smart meter.

The power receiving panel 102 is connected to the upper meter device 101 and receives power from the grid 10 via low-voltage bulk power reception. The power receiving panel 102 is equipped with, for example, a current transformer and a breaker 1061 for the grid 10. The power receiving panel 102 supplies the received power to the distribution panel 106.

Sensor 103 is connected between the power receiving board 102 and the distribution board 106 and detects the direction of current flowing between the distribution boards 106. Sensor 103 outputs the detection results to the control device 105.

The distributed power source 104 includes at least a solar cell module 1041 and a storage battery 1042. The distributed power source 104 may also include a fuel cell, a wind power generation system, etc.

The control device 105 includes a first control device 1051 and a second control device 1052. The first control device 1051 and the second control device 1052 are, for example, power conditioners. The first control device 1051 controls the solar cell module 1041. The second control device 1052 controls the storage battery 1042. The control device 105 converts the DC electricity generated by the solar cell module 1041 into AC electricity that can be used in the home. The control device 105 converts the voltage of excess DC electricity generated by the solar cell module 1041 that is not used in the common area 110 or the customer facilities (112, 114) into a voltage that can be charged to the storage battery 1042, and stores the converted voltage in the storage battery 1042. When the amount of power generated by the solar cell module 1041 is low, the control device 105 supplies the electricity stored in the storage battery 1042 to the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114). The control device 105 controls the charging and discharging of the storage battery based on the detection result indicating the direction of current flow detected by the sensor 103. The control device 105 detects the presence or absence of power supply from the grid, and if it detects that a power outage has occurred, it supplies the power stored in the storage battery 1042 via the switchboard 109 to the router 1101 and outlet 1102 in the common area 110.

The distribution board 106 is equipped with, for example, multiple breakers 1061 and sensors 103 for each branch destination. During grid-connected operation, the distribution board 106 branches the power received by the power receiving board 102 into multiple branches and distributes it to the common area 110 and customer facilities (112, 114). The distribution board 106 also branches the power supplied via the control device 105 into multiple branches and distributes it to the common area 110 and customer facilities (112, 114). Note that if the apartment building has multiple floors, the distribution board 106 may also distribute the power by floor.

The lower-level meter device 107 is a meter that measures the power consumption for the common area 110.

The distribution board 108 supplies power to the switching board 109 and the outlet 1103 in the common area 110.

The switching board 109 determines whether it is receiving power from the grid 10 or the control device 105 and switches between power from the grid and power supplied via the control device 105 to supply power to the router 1101 and outlet 1102 in the common area 110. As shown in Figure 4, during a power outage, power from the storage battery 1042 is supplied to the switching board 109 directly from the control device 105, without going through the distribution board 106.

The common area 110 is, for example, an electrical facility such as a lobby, hallway, management office, or meeting hall of an apartment building. The common area 110 is equipped with, for example, a router 1101, an outlet 1102, and an outlet 1103. Note that power is supplied to outlet 1103 under normal circumstances, but is not supplied during a power outage. Power is not supplied to router 1101 and outlet 1102 under normal circumstances, but is supplied during a power outage.

The lower-level meter device 111 is a meter that measures the power consumption of the consumer facility 112.

The customer facility 112 is, for example, a first residential facility of the apartment complex facility 100. The customer facility 112 includes, for example, an access point 1121 and a load 1122 (such as an outlet or light).

The lower-level meter device 113 is a meter that measures the power consumption of the consumer facility 114.

The customer facility 114 is, for example, a second residential facility of the apartment complex facility 100. The customer facility 114 includes, for example, an access point 1141 and a load 1142 (such as an outlet or light).

The distributor company 5 acquires the results measured by the lower-level meter devices (107, 111, 113), calculates the power consumption based on the acquired results, and collects electricity bills from the residents of the consumer facilities (112, 114). The results measured by the lower-level meter devices (107, 111, 113) may be acquired by the control device 105, for example, and output to the electric power company 4.

Note that while the apartment building facility 100 shown in Figure 4 is an example equipped with a first control device 1051 that controls the solar cell module 1041 and a second control device 1052 that controls the storage battery 1042, this is not limiting. As shown in Figure 5, in the apartment building facility 100A, a single control device 105A may control the solar cell module 1041 and the storage battery 1042. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example configuration of an apartment building facility with a single control device according to this embodiment.

The upper meter device 101 has an input side connected to the grid 10 from the electric power company, and an output side connected to the input side of the power receiving panel 102 .
The output side of the power receiving board 102 is connected to the input side of the distribution board 106 and to a first output side of the control device 105A via a power feeding node 121.
The distribution board 106 has an output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 107 and the input side of the branch section 115 .
The output side of the lower-level meter device 107 is connected to the input side of a distribution board 108 .
The distribution board 108 has an output side to which a first input side of the switching board 109 and an outlet 1103 of the common area 110 are connected.
The switchboard 109 has a second input side connected to the second output side of the control device 105A, and an output side connected to a router 1101 and an outlet 1102 of the common section 110, etc.
The control device 105A has the distributed power sources 104 connected to its control side.
The branching section 115 has a first output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 111 and a second output side connected to the input side of the lower-level meter device 113 .
The lower-level meter device 111 has a customer facility 112 connected to its output side.
The lower-level meter device 113 has a customer facility 114 connected to its output side.

In the configurations shown in Figures 4 and 5, the sensor 103 may be provided, for example, in the power receiving panel 102. However, in this case, the sensor must be capable of handling large currents in order to detect all currents flowing through the power receiving panel 102.

(Operation during normal operation and power outage)
Next, examples of operation during normal operation and during power outage operation will be described with reference to FIG.
Under normal circumstances, power generated by the solar cell module 1041 is supplied to the distribution board 106 via the control device 105. The distribution board 106 supplies the supplied power to the outlet 1103 in the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114). If the generated power alone is insufficient to meet the power demand, the power receiving board 102 supplies power from the grid 10 to the outlet 1103 in the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114). If the power generated by the solar cell module 1041 is surplus, the control device 105 charges the storage battery 1042 and then sells the generated power to the grid 10 via the power receiving board 102. Note that the outlet 1103 that supplies power to the common area 110 under normal circumstances is an example and is not limited thereto. For example, power is also supplied to lights installed in the common area 110, a control device for an electronic key at the entrance, and the like.

During a power outage, the control device 105 detects whether or not there is power being supplied from the grid, and supplies the power stored in the storage battery 1042 to the router 1101 and outlet 1102 in the common area 110 via the switchboard 109. If power is being generated by the solar cell module 1041 during a power outage, the control device 105 may supply the power generated by the solar cell module 1041 to the distribution board 106. In this case, power may also be supplied from the distribution board 106 to consumer facilities (112, 114). During a power outage, the router 1101 and outlet 1102 supplying power to the common area 110 are just an example, and are not limited to this. For example, power may also be supplied to emergency lights installed in the common area 110, a control device for an electronic key at the front door, and other devices.

Figure 6 is a flowchart of the processing procedure for power output from the storage battery 1042 by the control device according to this embodiment. Note that Figure 6 shows an example of processing in the configuration described using Figure 4.

(Step S1) The control device 105 detects whether or not a power outage has occurred by detecting the presence or absence of power supply from the grid. If the control device 105 determines that a power outage has occurred (Step S1; YES), it proceeds to processing in Step S2. If the control device 105 determines that a power outage has not occurred (Step S1; NO), it proceeds to processing in Step S4.

(Step S2) The control device 105 does not supply power from the storage battery 1042 to the customer facilities (112, 114), but instead supplies power to the router 1101 and outlet 1102 in the common area 110.

(Step S3) The control device 105 supplies power to the customer facilities (112, 114), for example, via a wireless communication access point, such as a LAN cable. After processing, the control device 105 returns to the processing of step S1.

(Step S4) The control device 105 acquires the detection results detected by the sensor 103.

(Step S5) Based on the detection results of the sensor 103, the control device 105 determines whether or not it is possible to output power from the storage battery 1042 to the outlet 1103 of the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114). If the control device 105 determines that it is possible to output power to the outlet 1103 of the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114) (Step S5; YES), it proceeds to processing in Step S6. If the control device 105 determines that it is not possible to output power to the outlet 1103 of the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114) (Step S5; NO), it proceeds to processing in Step S7.

(Step S6) The control device 105 outputs the power stored in the storage battery 1042 to the outlet 1103 in the common area 110 and to the customer facilities (112, 114). After processing, the control device 105 returns to the processing of step S1.

(Step S7) The control device 105 stops supplying the power stored in the storage battery 1042 to the outlet 1103 in the common area 110 and the customer facilities (112, 114). After processing, the control device 105 returns to the processing of step S1.

Note that the processing procedures and content shown in Figure 6 are merely examples and are not limited to these.

12 , in the apartment building facility 100G of this embodiment, power is supplied from the distribution board 106 to a common area 110 and a customer facility 112 via a first path, and to a customer facility 114 via a second path. The customer facility 112 is, for example, a plurality of customer facilities (residences) on the first floor of an apartment building. The customer facility 114 is, for example, a plurality of customer facilities (residences) on the second floor of an apartment building.
In this embodiment, during normal times, for example at night, power from the storage battery 1042 is supplied to the common area 110 and the customer facility 112, which is the residence on the first floor, but is not supplied to the customer facility 114, which is the residence on the second floor. Furthermore, during a power outage, as in the first to sixth embodiments, power is supplied to the router 1101 and outlet 1102, etc., in the common area 110, but power is not supplied to the customer facility 112, which is the residence on the first floor, or the customer facility 114, which is the residence on the second floor. However, during a power outage, as in the first to sixth embodiments, power is supplied from the router 1101 in the common area 110 to the access point via a LAN cable.

In addition, in the apartment building facility 100G, the distributed power source 104 is connected between the distribution board 106 and the lower-level metering devices 107 and 111, for example, via a control device 105G. The position at which the distributed power source 104 is connected may be any of the positions described in the first to sixth embodiments. As in the first embodiment, two control devices 105G may be provided, one for controlling the solar cell module 1041 and one for controlling the storage battery 1042.

The control content and control procedures of the control device 105G are the same as those shown in Figure 6 of the first embodiment.

This embodiment can achieve the same effects as the first embodiment. Furthermore, this embodiment can set consumer facilities among multiple consumer facilities to which power from storage batteries is normally supplied.

In the configuration of Figure 12, the sensor 103 detects current flowing to, for example, the common area 110 and the customer facility 112. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the amount of current detected by the sensor 103 can be reduced without detecting the overall current. As a result, for example, in a configuration where the total number of households is large and the sensor 103 is provided in the power receiving panel 102, even sensors that do not meet the current resistance requirements can be used in this embodiment. In this case, as shown in Figure 13, the distribution panel 106 is provided with a breaker for each path, and the sensor 103 is provided on the path that supplies power from the storage battery 1042.

Figure 13 is a diagram showing an example of a power supply path from a distribution board. In the example of Figure 13, the distribution board 106 includes, for example, a sensor 103, a breaker 1063, a breaker 1064, a terminal block 1065, and a breaker 1066.

The breaker 1063 and the breaker 1064 are supplied with power from the grid 10 via the power receiving panel 102 .
The breaker 1063 is connected to a lower-level meter device 113 of a system that does not supply power stored in the storage battery 1042 .
A terminal block 1065 is connected to the breaker 1064 via the sensor 103. The system of the breaker 1064 is a system that supplies the power stored in the storage battery 1042.
The breaker 1066 connects one end of the lower-level meter device 107 to the switchboard 109. Electric power is supplied to the common section 110 via the switchboard 109.
The terminal block 1065 is connected on the input side to the other end of the lower-level meter device 107, and via the sensor 103 to the breaker 1064 and the output side of the control device 105, and on the output side to the lower-level meter device 111 of the system that supplies the electricity stored in the storage battery 1042.

With this configuration, power from the grid 10 or power generated by the solar cell module 1041 is supplied to the customer facility connected to the lower meter device 111 and the customer facility connected to the lower meter device 113. Also, with this configuration, power stored in the storage battery 1042 is supplied to the customer facility connected to the lower meter device 111. Also, with this configuration, power is supplied to the common area 110 during a power outage.
Such a configuration may be provided in the apartment building facilities 100 (or 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 105E, 100F, 100G) of each of the above-described embodiments.

Note that the configurations, operations, processes, etc. of the above-described embodiments are merely examples and are not limiting. The apartment building facility 100 (or 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 105E, 100F, 100G) of each embodiment may include other components.

In addition, while the above example describes one solar cell module 1041 and one control device 105 (or 105A, 105B, 105C, 105D, 105E, 105F, 105G), this is not limiting. There may be two or more pairs of solar cell modules and control devices. In this case, for example, in the configuration of Figure 5, a solar cell module expansion panel with a breaker for each control device may be further provided between the control devices and the distribution board 106.

In addition, a program for realizing all or part of the functions of control device 105 (or 105A, 105B, 105C, 105D, 105E, 105F, 105G) in this invention may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on this recording medium may be loaded into a computer system and executed to perform all or part of the processing performed by control device 105 (or 105A, 105B, 105C, 105D, 105E, 105F, 105G). Note that "computer system" here includes hardware such as the OS and peripheral devices. Furthermore, "computer system" also includes a WWW system equipped with a homepage provision environment (or display environment). Furthermore, "computer-readable recording medium" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, optical magnetic disks, ROMs, CD-ROMs, and other storage devices such as hard disks built into a computer system. Furthermore, "computer-readable recording medium" also includes devices that store programs for a certain period of time, such as volatile memory (RAM) within a computer system that serves as a server or client when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line.

The above program may also be transmitted from a computer system that stores the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium, or by transmission waves within the transmission medium. Here, the "transmission medium" that transmits the program refers to a medium that has the function of transmitting information, such as a network (communication network) such as the Internet or a communication line (communication line) such as a telephone line. The above program may also be one that realizes part of the above-mentioned functions. Furthermore, it may be a so-called differential file (differential program) that can realize the above-mentioned functions in combination with a program already recorded on the computer system.
