Abstract

When an abnormality or a sign of abnormality occurs in an electric power generating facility, an appropriate operating support can be made in a short time. The electric power facility operation remote supporting method in accordance with the present invention is characterized by that an abnormality or a sign of abnormality is judged based on at least one of information on an operating state of the electric power generating facility and information on time-varying characteristics of components in the electric power generating facility, and a service mode is set based on the judged information of the abnormality or the sign of abnormality, preset abnormality corrective data and preset service modes.

Claims

1-7. -7. (canceled)

8. An electric power facility operation remote supporting system for remotely supporting operation of an electric power generating facility, comprising:

a judging means for judging an abnormality or a sign of abnormality of said electric power generating facility based on at least one of information on an operating state of said electric power generating facility, and information on a time-varying characteristic of components of said electric power generating facility;

a database for storing abnormality corrective-action data corresponding to data of a plurality of abnormalities or signs of abnormality in regard to said electric power generating facility;

a determining means for determining whether recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values of said electric power facility is possible; and

an adjusting means for adjusting operation amounts for operation control of said electric power facility in a case where the recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values is possible when an abnormality or a sign of abnormality occurs,

wherein said determining means and said adjusting means serve as a setting means for setting said abnormality corrective-action data corresponding to said data of a plurality of abnormalities or signs of abnormality.

9. An electric power facility operation remote supporting system according to claim 8, further including:

a transmitting means for transmitting, as a result that the abnormality or the sign of abnormality is judged with receipt of said information on said operation control operation amounts adjusted by said adjusting means, information of at least one of a recommended operating method or an influence resulting when the abnormality or the sign of abnormality is left as is; and

a presenting means for presenting the information transmitted by said transmitting means to a customer.

10. An electric power facility operation remote supporting system for remotely supporting operation of an electric power generating facility, comprising:

a judging means for judging an abnormality or a sign of abnormality of said electric power generating facility based on at least one of information on an operating state of said electric power generating facility and information on time-varying characteristic of components of said electric power generating facility;

a database for storing abnormality corrective-action data corresponding to data of a plurality of abnormalities or signs of abnormality in regard to said electric power generating facility;

a determining means for determining whether recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values of said electric power facility is possible;

a transmitting means for transmitting, as a result that an abnormality or a sign of abnormality is judged with receipt of information on operation control operation amounts adjusted by an adjusting means, information of at least one of a recommended operating method or an influence resulting when the abnormality or the sign of abnormality is left as is in a case where the recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values is not possible when an abnormality or a sign of abnormality occurs; and

a presenting means for presenting the information transmitted by said transmitting means to a customer,

wherein the determining means and the adjusting means serve as setting means for setting said abnormality corrective-action data corresponding to said data of a plurality of abnormalities or signs of abnormality.

11. An electric power facility operation remote supporting method for remotely supporting operation of an electric power generating facility, the method comprising the steps of:

judging an abnormality or a sign of abnormality of said electric power generating facility based on at least one of information on an operating state of said electric power generating facility and information on a time-varying characteristic of components of said electric power generating facility;

determining whether recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values of said electric power facility is possible when an abnormality or a sign of abnormality occurs in said electric power generating facility; and

adjusting operation amounts for operation control of said electric power facility in a case where the recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values is possible.

12. An electric power facility operation remote supporting method according to claim 11, further comprising steps of:

receiving said information on the operation control operation amounts adjusted in said adjusting step;

transmitting information, on a judgment result of an abnormality or a sign of abnormality, of at least one of a recommended operating method or an influence occurred when the abnormality or the sign of abnormality is left as is; and

presenting the information transmitted in said transmitting step to a customer.

13. An electric power facility operation remote supporting method for remotely supporting operation of an electric power generating facility, the method comprising the steps of:

judging an abnormality or a sign of abnormality of said electric power generating facility based on at least one of information on an operating state of said electric power generating facility and information on time-varying characteristic of components of said electric power generating facility;

determining whether recovery of the operating state by adjusting operation control setting values of said electric power facility is possible when an abnormality or a sign of abnormality occurs in said electric power generating facility;

transmitting, as a result of judging that an abnormality or a sign of abnormality when the recovery of the operating state by the operation control setting values is not possible, information of at least one of a recommended operating method or an influence resulting when the abnormality or the sign of abnormality is left as is; and

presenting the information transmitted in said transmitting step to a customer.
