On receiving a request to reduce power consumption such as a request for power conservation, a power control device controls power used in a power consumption system including a plurality of devices so that a user can use enough consumable power while saving power in the most comfortable manner possible. The plurality of devices is classified into controllable devices and control-difficult devices. An information acquisition unit acquires amounts of power used by the controllable devices and an amount of most recently measured power of the entire power consumption system. When an amount of an upper limit power is set for the entire power consumption system, a demand control unit controls the amounts of power used by the controllable devices based on evaluation functions set for the respective controllable devices and differential equations set for the respective controllable devices.
A power control device for controlling a power used in a power consumption system comprising a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being classified into controllable devices and uncontrollable devices,
A power control method of controlling a power used in a power consumption system comprising a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being classified into controllable devices and uncontrollable devices,
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium for storing a power control program causing a computer to control a power in a power consumption system comprising a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being classified into controllable devices and uncontrollable devices,
