Support System and Support Method

A support method of supporting management of a regional energy system by a support system,

• the support system including a computer including:
• an arithmetic device configured to execute predetermined processing;
• and a storage device coupled to the arithmetic device, the regional energy system including:
• nanogrid equipment including at least one of a power generation device or an electricity storage device;
• and a vehicle in which a storage battery is installed,
• the support method comprising steps of:
• receiving, by the arithmetic device, power supply-demand information on the nanogrid equipment and transport information relating to transport by the vehicle;
• performing, by the arithmetic device, simulation through use of the power supply-demand information to calculate nanogrid operation information indicating a power status of the nanogrid equipment during a predetermined period;
• performing, by the arithmetic device, simulation through use of the transport information to calculate operation information indicating a running status and charging and discharging statuses of the vehicle during the predetermined period;
• and
• generating, by the arithmetic device data for displaying both data organized in terms of power supply and demand for power in the nanogrid equipment and data organized in terms of transport by the vehicle on a single screen based on the nanogrid operation information and the operation information.
