Abstract
An energy event recording apparatus is mounted on each of a plurality of equipment installed at a business facility. When a change in the amount of the flow or stock of energy is detected in the apparatus mounted, each of a plurality of the energy event recording apparatuses records journal information, which associates the amount of change to a debit side item and a credit side item, respectively, and notifies an energy management server of the journal information. The energy management server calculates pieces of journal information conveyed from a plurality of recording apparatuses, respectively, based on the debit side item and the credit side item.
Claims4
An energy management server for use with a device to be monitored comprising an energy meter, the device to be monitored being configured to output energy event described in a form of exchange algebra occurring in the device to be monitored the energy event being a change in a flow or a stock of energy of the device to be monitored as measured by the energy meter, the energy management server comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive energy event described in a form of exchange algebra output by the device to be monitored;
- storage configured to store, as a plurality of algebraic data objects, the energy events described in a form of exchange algebra in an energy bookkeeping description including the first term items of exchange algebra describing energy events and a second term items of exchange algebra describing energy events;
- a counting processor configured to, after a predetermined period of time, generate energy accounting data conforming to the energy bookkeeping description by aggregating the energy event described in a form of exchange algebra stored in the storage, based on the first term of exchange algebra describing energy event and the second term of exchange algebra describing energy event;
- a display for displaying the energy accounting data generated by the counting processor;
- wherein
- the counting processor is configured to perform a transfer process on a result of aggregation by using exchange algebra, and generates the energy accounting data.
An energy management method for managing energy balance of a device to be monitored, the device to be monitored being configured to output energy event described in a form of exchange algebra relating to an energy event occurring in the device to be monitored the energy event being a change in a flow or a stock of energy of the device to be monitored as measured by the energy meter, the method comprising:
- receiving energy event described in a form of exchange algebra output by the device to be monitored via a communication interface;
- storing, as a plurality of algebraic data objects, the energy event described in a form of exchange algebra in an energy bookkeeping description including first term items of exchange algebra describing energy events and a second term items of exchange algebra describing energy events;
- recording, with a counting processor after a predetermined period of time, energy accounting data conforming to the energy bookkeeping description by aggregating the energy event described in a form of exchange algebra, based on the first term of exchange algebra describing energy event item and the second term of exchange algebra describing energy event item;
- and
- displaying the recorded energy accounting data to a display;
- wherein the counting processor aggregates a plurality of pieces of energy event described in a form of exchange algebra in units of each energy, performs a transfer process on a result of aggregation by using exchange algebra, and generates the energy accounting data based on a result of the transfer process.
