Patent US10211633


Issued 2019-02-19

Power Distribution Management Apparatus, Pattern Extraction Method, And Recording Medium

A power distribution management apparatus includes: a memory configured to store history information including a pattern of open and closed states of switches that switch a path that supplies power between a substation and load equipment of a customer, and attribute information related to an environment where the power is supplied; and a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes: upon acceptance of specification of the attribute information related to the environment, calculating a degree of similarity between the specified attribute information and attribute information included in the history information; and extracting a pattern of the open and closed states of switches whose degree of similarity satisfies a predetermined condition among the history information.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A power distribution management apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store history information including a pattern of open and closed states of switches that switch a path that supplies power between a substation and load equipment of a customer, and attribute information related to an environment where the power is supplied; a processor configured to execute a process including: upon acceptance of specification of the attribute information related to the environment, calculating a degree of similarity between the specified attribute information and attribute information included in the history information; and extracting a pattern of the open and closed states of switches whose degree of similarity satisfies a predetermined condition among the history information, presenting a combination pattern of the open and closed states of switches to which a reverse flow has been added, selecting an optimum combination pattern of switches, and switching the switches to suppress the power beyond a tolerance range of voltage from flowing.

  • 6. A pattern extraction method comprising: upon acceptance of specification of attribute information related to an environment where power is supplied, calculating a degree of similarity between the specified attribute information and attribute information contained in history information including a pattern of open and closed states of switches that switch a path that supplies power between a substation and load equipment of a customer, and the attribute information related to the environment where the power is supplied, by a processor; and extracting a pattern of the open and closed states of switches whose degree of similarity satisfies a predetermined condition among the history information, presenting a combination pattern of the open and closed states of switches to which a reverse flow has been added, selecting an optimum combination pattern of switches, and switching the switches to suppress the power beyond a tolerance range of voltage from flowing, by the processor.

  • 9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a pattern extraction program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising: upon acceptance of specification of attribute information related to an environment where power is supplied, calculating a degree of similarity between the specified attribute information and attribute information contained in history information including a pattern of open and closed states of switches that switch a path that supplies power between a substation and load equipment of a customer, and the attribute information related to the environment where the power is supplied; and extracting a pattern of the open and closed states of switches whose degree of similarity satisfies a predetermined condition among the history information, presenting a combination pattern of the open and closed states of switches to which a reverse flow has been added, selecting an optimum combination pattern of switches, and switching the switches to suppress the power beyond a tolerance range of voltage from flowing.
