An operation assisting system enhances the operator's willingness to
participate in energy-saving efforts. The operation assisting system
stores information about the actual operation of operated equipment
carried out by the operator, evaluates the stored operation information,
and displays the results of evaluation. The evaluation results relate to
the cost concerning the operated equipment, the cost of supplying energy
to the operation target facility, the cost concerning the operated
equipment, the amount of emission of carbon dioxide, nitride oxide, and
global warming substances, the amount of primary energy consumption, the
crude oil-converted amount of energy consumption, the amount of excess or
shortage of supply of energy, or electric power quality.
