METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING COGENERATION SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for controlling cogeneration system capable of improving energy saving and economy. SOLUTION: A home server 10 is provided with a utility history DB14 in which the home server 10 is connected to a plurality of home appliance D1-D9 and a cogeneration 2 through a network 20, and the utility information is inputted from the home appliance D1-D9 through the network 20, and then the utility information is stored for each home appliance D1-D9, a use pattern generating part 11A which reads the utility information of each home appliance D1-D9 from the utility history DB14 for analysis in time series and generates a utility pattern for each home appliance D1-D9, a utility pattern DB15 in which the utility pattern is stored for each home appliance D1-D9, and an operation schedule decision part 11B which reads a utility pattern from the utility pattern DB14 to generate a power generation output pattern for each home appliance D1-D9, and adds the generated power generation output pattern in time series to generate an operation schedule.
