Abstract

An energy equipment determination device includes an initial group determination unit that determines a plurality of candidates of an equipment condition, an operation condition, and a control condition, and sets the plurality of candidates as an initial group, a Pareto solution group calculation unit that applies the initial group determined by the initial group determination unit to a genetic algorithm, and calculates a Pareto solution group when a primary energy consumption and a system cost including an initial cost and a running cost are objective functions, and a financial index calculation unit that calculates a net present value after a specific period from introduction and an internal profit rate after the specific period from the introduction when energy equipment that individually indicates the plurality of Pareto solutions calculated by the Pareto solution group calculation unit is introduced.

Claims (13)

1 . An energy equipment determination device comprising:

an initial group determination unit configured to determine a plurality of candidates of an equipment condition indicating a type and size of an energy equipment, an operation condition serving as an external factor during operation of the energy equipment, and a control condition during the operation of the energy equipment, and set the plurality of candidates as an initial group;

a Pareto solution group calculation unit configured to apply the initial group determined by the initial group determination unit to a genetic algorithm, and calculate a Pareto solution group that is a group of a plurality of Pareto solutions when the primary energy consumption and the system cost including the initial cost and the running cost are objective functions; and

a financial index calculation unit configured to calculate a financial index of at least one of a net present value after a specific period from introduction and an internal profit rate after the specific period from the introduction when the energy equipment that individually indicates the plurality of Pareto solutions calculated by the Pareto solution group calculation unit is introduced.

2 . The energy equipment determination device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an initial condition setting unit configured to set an initial condition including a weather condition of a region where the energy equipment is used and an air-conditioning load condition to be obtained by the energy equipment,

wherein the initial group determination unit is configured to determine a candidate of the operation condition based on the weather condition when the initial condition includes the weather condition, and is configured to determine a candidate of the equipment condition based on the air-conditioning load condition when the initial condition includes the air-conditioning load condition.

3 . The energy equipment determination device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the financial index calculation unit is configured to calculate information obtained by comparing the calculated financial index with a target value of the financial index expected by an introducer side of the energy equipment.

4 . An energy equipment determination method of an energy equipment determination device, the energy equipment determination method comprising:

an initial group determination step configured to determine a plurality of candidates of an equipment condition indicating a type and size of energy equipment, an operation condition serving as an external factor during operation of the energy equipment, and a control condition during the operation of the energy equipment, and set the plurality of candidates as an initial group;

a Pareto solution group calculation step configured to apply the initial group determined by the initial group determination step to a genetic algorithm, and calculate a Pareto solution group that is a group of a plurality of Pareto solutions when the primary energy consumption and the system cost including the initial cost and the running cost are objective functions; and

a financial index calculation step configured to calculate a financial index of at least one of a net present value after a specific period from introduction and an internal profit rate after the specific period from the introduction when the energy equipment that individually indicates the plurality of Pareto solutions calculated by the Pareto solution group calculation step is introduced.
