<p>A cooling water usage predictor predicts, for a respective prescribed prediction cycle T1, a usage of cooling water in a prescribed prediction target period T2, a constrained running condition predictor takes the predicted usage of cooling water as a basis to predict a required running condition of a pump system in the prediction target period T2 meeting a prescribed constraint condition, an energy consumption calculator takes the predicted running condition of the pump system as a basis to calculate a quantity of energy to be consumed, an optimizer determines an optimal quantity of energy to be consumed among a plurality of quantities of energy to be consumed under changed running conditions of the pump system, and a pump system running controller controls a running of the pump system having as a target value therefore a running condition of the pump system requiring the optimal quantity of energy to be consumed.</p> |
