DISTRIBUTED ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM, CONTROL STATION, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

A distributed electric power generation system is configured to include a plurality of electric power distribution stations operable to receive electric power from an external power source and generate electric power in a balanced manner, a power transmission grid network connected to the plurality of electric power distribution stations for supplying received electric power to a plurality of demand loads using electric power, and a control station operable to acquire information on an electric power distribution period used to calculate a period during which electric power supply is needed, acquire an amount of power supply demand to be supplied via the power transmission grid network during the period during which electric power supply is needed, the period being determined from the acquired information on the electric power distribution period, and select one or a required number of electric power generation facilities for supplying electric power to the plurality of demand loads at a low cost based upon a start and stop cost and a running cost of each of the electric power distribution stations in accordance with the calculated electric power distribution period and the amount of power supply demand.
