Device operation setting apparatus and device operation setting value determination program

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a computer program to control a device, the program being to cause a computer to perform at least:

• calculating a temporary consumed power value of the device, based at least in part on a relationship between a correction value and a consumed power value of the device,
• wherein the consumed power value is based on a temporary setting value,
• the temporary setting value is the setting value used by the calculator to calculate a target value, based on the device model,
• the temporary consumed power value is the consumed power value of the device for the case of operation in accordance with the temporary setting value, based on the device model,
• the device model represents the relationship between the target value of the power of the device, which operates in accordance with the setting value, and that setting value,
• a deterioration of the device is reflected in the device model,
• wherein the correction value is calculated based on a setting value previously outputted to a controller for the device and an actually measured value of consumed power of the device;
• and
• adjusting the temporary setting value to limit, within a prescribed range, a difference between a predetermined target value and the temporary consumed power value calculated, and determining the setting value for outputting to the controller,
• wherein the setting value for outputting to the controller is equal to the temporary setting value adjusted,
• the controller configured to determine a control value based on the setting value,
• the device configured to execute a prescribed operation based on the control value.

A control method comprising:

• determining a control value based on a setting value,
• executing a prescribed operation based on the control value,
• calculating a temporary consumed power value of a device, based at least in part on a relationship between a correction value and a consumed power value of the device,
• wherein the consumed power value is based on a temporary setting value,
• the temporary setting value is the setting value used by a calculator to calculate a target value, based on the device model,
• the temporary consumed power value is the consumed power value of the device for the case of operation in accordance with the temporary setting value, based on the device model,
• the device model represents the relationship between the target value of the power of the device, which operates in accordance with the setting value, and that setting value,
• a deterioration of the device is reflected in the device model,
• wherein the correction value is calculated based on the setting value previously outputted to a controller for the device and an actually measured value of consumed power of the device;
• and
• adjusting the temporary setting value to limit, within a prescribed range, a difference between a predetermined target value and the temporary consumed power value calculated, and determining the setting value for outputting to the controller,
• wherein the setting value for outputting to the controller is equal to the temporary setting value adjusted.
