LOAD CONTROL METHOD, LOAD CONTROL DEVICE, AND ELECTRICAL LOAD DEVICE
First Claim
1. A load control method for controlling a load connected to an electricity grid, the load control method comprising:
- obtaining first time information for specifying demand response commencement time and second time information for specifying ramping completion time, the demand response commencement time being a time point at which a demand response event is to be commenced, the ramping completion time being a time point at which ramping in the demand response event is to be completed and being later than the demand response commencement time, the ramping being a process through which an amount of electricity received from the electricity grid is changed;
determining ramping commencement time based on the first time information and the second time information, the ramping commencement time being a time point at which the ramping is to be commenced, being later than the demand response commencement time, and being earlier than the ramping completion time; and
causing the ramping to be commenced at the ramping commencement time.

Abstract
Load control method suppressing reduction in functionality of a load resource brought about by demand response. The load control method includes: obtaining first time information for specifying demand response commencement time T1 and second time information for specifying ramping completion time T3; determining ramping commencement time T4 based on first time information and second time information; and causing ramping to be commenced at T4. T1 is a time point at which a demand response event is to be commenced. T3 is a time point at which ramping, which is a process through which an amount of electricity received from an electricity grid is changed, is to be completed. T4 is a time point at which ramping is to be commenced. T4 is later than T1 and earlier than T3.

10. A load control device for controlling a load connected to an electricity grid, the load control device comprising:
-
an obtaining unit obtaining first time information for specifying demand response commencement time and second time information for specifying ramping completion time, the demand response commencement time being a time point at which a demand response event is to be commenced, the ramping completion time being a time point at which ramping in the demand response event is to be completed and being later than the demand response commencement time, the ramping being a process through which an amount of electricity received from the electricity grid is changed; and a determining unit determining ramping commencement time based on the first time information and the second time information, the ramping commencement time being a time point at which the ramping is to be commenced, being later than the demand response commencement time, and being earlier than the ramping completion time, wherein the load control device causes the ramping to be commenced at the ramping commencement time.

11. An electric load device comprising:
-
a reception unit receiving a ramping commencement instruction being an instruction causing ramping in a demand response event to be commenced, the ramping being a process through which an amount of electricity received from an electricity grid is changed, the ramping commencement instruction including time information for specifying ramping commencement time, the ramping commencement time being a time point at which the ramping is to be commenced and being later than a demand response commencement time, the demand response commencement time being a time point at which the demand response event is to be commenced; and a control unit commencing the ramping at the ramping commencement time based on the ramping commencement instruction.

12. A load control method for controlling a load connected to an electricity grid, the load control method comprising:
-
obtaining (i) time information for specifying demand response commencement time, the demand response commencement time being a time point at which a demand response event is to be commenced, and (ii) incentive information specifying incentive in relation to processing performance in ramping, the ramping being a process through which an amount of electricity received from an electricity grid is changed; determining ramping commencement time based on the time information and the incentive information, the ramping commencement time being a time point at which the ramping is to be commenced and being later than the demand response commencement time; and causing the ramping to be commenced at the ramping commencement time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
