Power System Operational Support System and Power System Operational Support Method

A power system operational support system comprising:

• a problem storage unit which stores problem data indicating a determination problem determining a plurality of control signals to be used to control a device to be controlled included in a power system;
• a non-von Neumann calculation unit which generates a non-von Neumann calculation result obtained by using a non-von Neumann computer to solve the determination problem on the basis of the problem data;
• a criterion storage unit which stores assessment criterion data for assessing the non-von Neumann calculation result;
• and
• an assessment unit which assesses an assessment item related to the non-von Neumann calculation result on the basis of the assessment criterion data,
• wherein the non-von Neumann computer is a quantum computer using an Ising model, and
• wherein the assessment item includes at least one of a control value being a value of each control signal indicated by the non-von Neumann calculation result, an interrelation value indicating an interrelationship of each control signal, and a calculation time required to solve the determination problem by the non-von Neumann computer.

A power system operational support method executed by a power system operational support system, the method comprising:

• generating, based on problem data indicating a determination problem for determining a plurality of control signals used for control of a controlled device included in a power system, a non-von Neumann calculation result in which the determination problem is solved by using a non-von Neumann computer;
• and
• assessing an assessment item related to the non-von Neumann calculation result on the basis of assessment criterion data for assessing the non-von Neumann calculation result,
• wherein the non-von Neumann computer is a quantum computer using an Ising model, and
• wherein the assessment item includes at least one of a control value being a value of each control signal indicated by the non-von Neumann calculation result, an interrelation value indicating an interrelationship of each control signal, and a calculation time required to solve the determination problem by the non-von Neumann computer.
