Abstract
A power management system, which has a holding function capable of holding power in the form of storable energy, and a supply function for supplying power procured from a contractor to the holding function, sets a utilizable range of storable energy held by the holding function. In the setting, if an amount of storable energy held by the holding function exceeds a predetermined amount, an excess of the storable energy exceeding the predetermined amount is set as utilizable storable energy.
Claims14
A power management system comprising:
- a holding unit capable of holding power in the form of storable energy;
- a supply unit configured to supply power procured from a contractor to the holding unit;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set a utilizable range of storable energy held by the holding unit,
- wherein if an amount of storable energy held by the holding unit exceeds a predetermined amount, the setting unit sets an excess of the storable energy exceeding the predetermined amount as utilizable storable energy.
A control device included in a power management system that includes a holding unit capable of holding power in the form of storable energy and a supply unit configured to supply power procured from a contractor to the holding unit, the control device comprising
- a setting unit configured to set a utilizable range of storable energy held by the holding unit such that if an amount of storable energy held by the holding unit exceeds a predetermined amount, an excess of the storable energy exceeding the predetermined amount is set as utilizable storable energy.
A method executed by a control device that is included in a power management system that includes a holding unit capable of holding power in the form of storable energy and a supply unit configured to supply power procured from a contractor to the holding unit, the method being comprising
- setting a utilizable range of storable energy held by the holding unit such that if an amount of storable energy held by the holding unit exceeds a predetermined amount, an excess of the storable energy exceeding the predetermined amount is set as utilizable storable energy.
