Operation support apparatus, operation support method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A operation support method comprising:

• performing first calculation by calculating, by a calculation unit and based on an electricity cost or an amount of power consumption for each of predetermined times associated with operation of a plurality of electrolyzers operating in parallel, an amount of production by time unit which is an amount of production of a product for each of the predetermined times that satisfies a target amount of production of the product, the product being produced by the plurality of electrolyzers over a predetermined period of time;
• and
• specifying, by a specification unit, an electrolyzer to be operated among the plurality of electrolyzers, based on the amount of production by time unit calculated in the performing the first calculation.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having recorded thereon an operation support program which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute:

• performing first calculation by calculating, by a calculation unit and based on an electricity cost or an amount of power consumption for each of predetermined times associated with operation of a plurality of electrolyzers operating in parallel, an amount of production by time unit which is an amount of production of a product for each of the predetermined times that satisfies a target amount of production of the product, the product being produced by the plurality of electrolyzers over a predetermined period of time;
• and
• specifying an electrolyzer to be operated among the plurality of electrolyzers, based on the amount of production by time unit calculated in the performing the first calculation.
