Abstract

A gas separation device (3) comprises a gas supply part (36), a first separation membrane (310), and a second separation membrane (320). The gas supply part (36) supplies a mixed gas. In the first separation membrane (310), the permeability of a third gas is higher than the permeability of a first gas and a second gas. The first separation membrane (310) causes the third gas, from the mixed gas supplied from the gas supply part (36), to permeate therethrough and removes the third gas. In the second separation membrane (320), the permeability of the first gas is higher than the permeability of the second gas. The second separation membrane (320) is supplied with a first non-permeated gas, from the mixed gas, that has not permeated through the first separation membrane (310). The second separation membrane (320) cause the first gas, from the first non-permeated gas, to permeate therethrough and separates the first gas. As a result, it is possible to suppress increases in the size of facilities related to the separation of a mixed gas.

When at least one of the determination target indexes does not fall within an allowable range, it is determined that the operation is infeasible, and the operation plan can be modified by adjusting the setting value of the charge/discharge output for each unit time segment in the operation plan determined to be infeasible. When the operation plan is modified, the operation feasibility is determined for the modified operation plan.
