Control apparatus, control system, control method, and program

A control apparatus for controlling a control target device among a plurality of electrical devices supplied with power generated by a power generation apparatus along with an electricity storage apparatus of which storing of surplus power is controlled based on the surplus power that is power generated by the power generation apparatus from which total power consumption of the plurality of electrical devices is deducted, the control apparatus comprising:

• a first acquirer configured to acquire a value of the total power consumption;
• a second acquirer configured to acquire a value of the power generation;
• and
• a controller configured to control the control target device to change power consumption of the control target device so that a value of the surplus power, which is obtained from the value of the total power consumption acquired by the first acquirer and the value of the power generation acquired by the second acquirer, changes to a value having a level where the electricity storage apparatus stores the surplus power when the value of the surplus power is at a level where the surplus power is not stored in the electricity storage apparatus.

A control system, comprising:

• an electricity storage apparatus of which power supply to a plurality of electrical devices is controlled based on total power consumption of the plurality of electrical devices;
• a control target device that is a control target among the plurality of electrical devices;
• and
• a control apparatus configured to control the control target device,
• wherein the control apparatus comprises:
• an acquirer configured to acquire a value of the total power consumption;
• and
• a controller configured to, when the value of the total power consumption acquired by the acquirer is at a level where the power is not supplied from the electricity storage apparatus to the plurality of electrical devices, control the control target device to change power consumption of the control target device so that the value of the total power consumption changes to a value having a level where the electricity storage apparatus supplies the power to the plurality of electrical devices.

A control system, comprising:

• a power generation apparatus;
• an electricity storage apparatus of which storing of surplus power is controlled according to the surplus power that is power generated by the power generation apparatus from which total power consumption of a plurality of electrical devices is deducted;
• a control target device that is a control target among the plurality of electrical devices supplied with the generated power along with the electricity storage apparatus;
• and
• a control apparatus configured to control the control target device,
• wherein the control apparatus comprises:
• a first acquirer configured to acquire a value of the total power consumption;
• a second acquirer configured to acquire a value of the power generation;
• and
• a controller configured to control the control target device to change power consumption of the control target device so that a value of the surplus power, which is obtained from the value of the total power consumption acquired by the first acquirer and the value of the power generation acquired by the second acquirer, changes to a value having a level where the electricity storage apparatus stores the surplus power when the value of the surplus power is at a level where the surplus power is not stored in the electricity storage apparatus.

A control method for controlling a control target device among a plurality of electrical devices supplied with power generated by a power generation apparatus along with an electricity storage apparatus of which storing of surplus power is controlled based on the surplus power that is power generated by the power generation apparatus from which total power consumption of the plurality of electrical devices is deducted, the control method comprising:

• performing a first acquisition of acquiring a value of the total power consumption;
• performing a second acquisition of acquiring a value of the power generation;
• and
• controlling the control target device to change power consumption of the control target device so that a value of the surplus power, which is obtained from the value of the total power consumption acquired and the value of the power generation acquired, changes to a value having a level where the electricity storage apparatus stores the surplus power when the value of the surplus power is at a level where the surplus power is not stored in the electricity storage apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for allowing a computer controlling a control target device among a plurality of electrical devices supplied with power generated by a power generation apparatus along with an electricity storage apparatus of which storing of surplus power is controlled based on the surplus power that is power generated by the power generation apparatus from which total power consumption of the plurality of electrical devices is deducted to perform steps comprising:

• acquiring a value of the total power consumption;
• acquiring a value of the power generation;
• and
• controlling the control target device to change power consumption of the control target device so that a value of the surplus power, which is obtained from the value of the total power consumption acquired and the value of the power generation acquired, changes to a value having a level where the electricity storage apparatus stores the surplus power when the value of the surplus power is at a level where the surplus power is not stored in the electricity storage apparatus.
