Management system, management method, equipment, and management device

A management method, comprising:

• transmitting a first command from a management device to an equipment to instruct an operation of the equipment, wherein a property included in the first command includes a variable property indicating a variable that can be changed by the operation of the equipment, the variable property indicating a value;
• starting the operation of the equipment according to the first command and keeping the variable indicated by the variable property without change when the operation instructed by the first command is kept continuous;
• and
• transmitting a response command from the equipment to the management device, the response command containing a specific value as the variable property to specify whether the operation is performed according to the first command, wherein the specific value is different from the value indicated by the variable property contained in the first command,
• wherein
• the equipment includes a power conditioning system performing charging/discharging of a storage battery,
• the variable property of the first command contains a setting value property indicating a setting value of a charging/discharging amount of the storage battery, and
• the method further comprises controlling the charging/discharging of the storage battery on the basis of the setting value property contained in the first command.

An equipment configured to be managed by a management device, the equipment comprising:

• a controller configured to start an operation of the equipment according to a first command that is received from the management device;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit a response command to the equipment, wherein
• a property included in the first command includes a variable property indicating a variable that can be changed by the operation of the equipment, the variable property indicating a value,
• the controller is configured to keep the variable indicated by the variable property without change when the operation instructed by the first command is kept continuous,
• the transmitter is configured to transmit the response command containing a specific value as the variable property to specify whether the operation is performed according to the first command, and
• the specific value is different from the value indicated by the variable property contained in the first command,
• wherein
• the equipment includes a power conditioning system configured to perform charging/discharging of a storage battery,
• the variable property of the first command contains a setting value property indicating a setting value of a charging/discharging amount of the storage battery, and
• the controller is configured to control the charging/discharging of the storage battery on the basis of the setting value property contained in the first command.

A management device configured to manage an equipment, the management device comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit a first command to the equipment to instruct an operation of the equipment;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive a response command from the equipment, wherein
• a property included in the first command includes a variable property indicating a variable that can be changed by the operation of the equipment, the variable property indicating a value,
• the variable indicated by the variable property is kept without any change when the operation instructed by the first command is kept continuous,
• the receiver is configured to receive the response command containing a specific value as the variable property to specify whether the operation is performed according to the first command, and
• the specific value is different from the value indicated by the variable property contained in the first command,
• wherein
• the equipment includes a power conditioning system configured to perform charging/discharging of a storage battery,
• the variable property of the first command contains a setting value property indicating a setting value of a charging/discharging amount of the storage battery, and
• the equipment includes a controller configured to control the charging/discharging of the storage battery on the basis of the setting value property contained in the first command.
