SUPPLY-AND-DEMAND CONTROL SYSTEM OF DISTRIBUTED AND COORDINATED TYPE, FOR USE IN POWER SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A power supply-and-demand controls system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes incorporated in electrical apparatuses, respectively, each electrical apparatus including at least one of a power generation apparatus and a load apparatus, either supplied with power from a commercially available power system; and
a communication unit configured to achieve communication between the nodes,wherein each of the nodes comprises;
a communication path unit configured to establish a communication path for transmitting and receiving data to and from any adjacent node through the communication unit;
a communication control unit configured to receive average supply-and-demand state data from the adjacent node through the communication path established; and
a controller configured to adjust the power to generate or consume in the electrical apparatus incorporating the node, in accordance with the average supply-and-demand state data, and to calculate an average supply-and-demand state value corrected based on the value by which the power has been adjusted.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, each of the nodes incorporated in the respective electrical apparatuses that constitute a local power system establishes a communication path connected to any adjacent node, transmits and receive average supply-and-demand state data to and from the adjacent node through the communication path. Each node adjusts (increases or decreases) the power to generate or consume in it, on the basis of the average supply-and-demand state data. Each node performs a supply-and-demand control of distributed and coordinated type, in which the average supply-and-demand state value is corrected based on the value by which the power has been adjusted (increased or decreased) and the average supply-and-demand state value thus corrected is supplied to the adjacent node through the connection path.
