Abstract

A display is estimating every day working time of a worker involved in a load based on power consumption data in which electricity supplied to the load is measured in a certain period; calculating power consumption of the load during working time a day to calculate an average of the power consumption in a predetermined period; and calculating estimated daily power saving for every day based on a difference between maximum power during working time a day and power for each of the time, in which an index in which a proportion of the daily estimated power saving to a sum of the estimated electric saving and the power consumption serves as a parameter while a proportion of the power consumption a day to an average of the power consumption in a predetermined period serves as another parameter is displayed with the measured power consumption for each of the time.

Claims (16)

1. A power consumption display method comprising the steps of:

estimating every day a clock-in time and a clock-out time of a worker involved in a load with a change in daily power consumption based on power consumption data in which electricity that is supplied to the load is measured in a certain period of time;

calculating power consumption of the load during working time a day based on the clock-in time and the clock-out time to calculate an average of the power consumption of the load during working time a day in a predetermined period of time;

estimating, based on a difference between maximum power consumption during working time a day and power consumption for each of the time, an estimated value of electric power saving for each of the time to accumulate the estimated value for the working time for calculation every day as daily estimated electric power saving;

calculating a proportion of the daily estimated electric power saving to a sum of the estimated electric power saving and the power consumption during working time a day as a first parameter, while calculating a proportion of the power consumption during working time a day to an average of power consumption during working time a day in a predetermined period of time as a second parameter; and

displaying a power-saving effort evaluation index based on the first parameter and the second parameter calculated with the measured power consumption of each of the time a day of a corresponding date.

2. The power consumption display method as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the displaying step includes a step of comparing the first parameter and the second parameter to predetermined thresholds, respectively, to display a mark indicating an evaluation level as the power-saving effort evaluation index.

3. A power consumption display apparatus comprising:

a clock-in/out time calculation portion for estimating every day a clock-in time and a clock-out time of a worker involved in a load with a change in daily power consumption based on power consumption data in which electricity that is supplied to the load is measured in a certain period of time;

a power consumption calculation portion for calculating power consumption of the load during working time a day based on the clock-in time and the clock-out time to calculate an average of the power consumption of the load during working time a day in a predetermined period of time;

an electric power saving calculation portion for estimating, based on a difference between maximum power consumption during working time a day and power consumption for each of the time, an estimated value of electric power saving for each of the time to accumulate the estimated value for the working time for calculation every day as daily estimated electric power saving;

an evaluation portion for calculating a proportion of the daily estimated electric power saving to a sum of the estimated electric power saving and the power consumption during working time a day as a first parameter, while calculating a proportion of the power consumption during working time a day to an average of power consumption during working time a day in a predetermined period of time as a second parameter; and

a display portion for displaying a power-saving effort evaluation index based on the first parameter and the second parameter calculated with the measured power consumption of each of the time a day of a corresponding date.

4. The power consumption display apparatus as defined in claim 3 , wherein

the display portion includes a step of comparing the first parameter and the second parameter to predetermined thresholds, respectively, to display a mark indicating an evaluation level as the power-saving effort evaluation index.
