Abstract
According to one embodiment, a service execution apparatus controls facility devices in a group. The group includes a plurality of calculation areas. At least one facility device is installed in each calculation area. The service execution apparatus includes a calculation unit and a control unit. The calculation unit is configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas. The control unit is configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
Claims10
An apparatus for controlling facility devices in a group, the group including a plurality of calculation areas, at least one facility device being installed in each calculation area, comprising:
- a calculation unit configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- a control unit configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
An apparatus for controlling facility devices in calculation areas, comprising:
- a decision unit configured to decide whether weather has changed for each calculation area, based on a variation of the weather information relating to the each calculation area;
- a synchronization probability storage to store a probability to synchronize a timing of weather change among calculation areas, based on a decision result by the decision unit;
- and
- a grouping unit configured to from a group including at least two of the calculation areas, based on the probability;
- a calculation unit configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- a control unit configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
An apparatus for controlling facility devices in calculation areas, comprising:
- a decision unit configured to decide whether weather has changed for each calculation area, based on a variation of the weather information relating to the each calculation area;
- a number of synchronization storage to store the number of synchronization of a timing of weather change among calculation areas, based on a decision result by the decision unit;
- and
- a grouping unit configured to form a group including at least two of the calculation areas, based on the number of synchronization;
- a calculation unit configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- a control unit configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
An apparatus for controlling facility devices in calculation areas, comprising:
- a grouping unit configured to form a group including at least two of calculation areas, by using k-means method;
- a calculation unit configured to calculate a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- a control unit configured to control other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
A method for controlling facility devices in a group, the group including a plurality of calculation areas, at least one facility device being installed in each calculation area, comprising:
- calculating a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- controlling other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for causing a computer to perform a method for controlling facility devices in a group, the group including a plurality of calculation areas, at least one facility device being installed in each calculation area, the method comprising:
- calculating a control value to control a selected facility device installed in one of calculation areas in the group, using weather information relating to the one of calculation areas;
- and
- controlling other facility devices installed in the calculation areas of the group, based on the control value for the selected facility device.
