ENERGY CONTROL UNIT, ENERGY CONTROL SYSTEM, AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT METHOD

摘要

Provided is a technique for improving the accuracy of the demand adjustment by a consumer in a demand response. An energy control unit includes: a data accumulator that accumulates response measurement data obtained by measuring responses to control executed in relation to a demand amount of energy used by a consumer; a learner that calculates response characteristics which are characteristics to control for adjusting the demand amount based on the response measurement data; an energy consumption planner that creates an energy consumption plan which is a time-series control plan on the energy consumption of the consumer; a management planner that creates a DR management plan for updating the energy consumption plan based on the response characteristics so that the demand amount is adjusted according to a demand adjustment request; a management determiner that updates the energy consumption plan according to the DR management plan when a bidding based on the DR management plan is successful; and a manager that executes control on a plurality of controllers of the consumer according to the energy consumption plan.
