Abstract
A PC executes a program including a step of selecting an exchange electric storage device with the shortest charging history when a charging request is present, inventory of exchange electric storage devices with completed charging is available, the number of inventory days is equal to or less than A days, and the sufficient number of storage locations is ensured, a step of selecting an exchange electric storage device with the longest charging history when the sufficient number of storage locations is not ensured, and a step of executing charging control when the selected exchange electric storage device is connected to a charger.
Claims7
A management system for exchange electric storage devices for managing a sequence used for exchanging a plurality of exchange electric storage devices stored in storage locations with an electric storage device installed on a vehicle, comprising:
- an estimation unit that estimates an inventory number of exchange electric storage devices that changes due to exchange of the exchange electric storage devices;
- a first determination unit that determines whether or not the inventory number exceeds a threshold value having, as an upper limit, a number of the exchange electric storage devices that can be stored in the storage locations;
- and
- a first selection unit that preferentially selects, as an exchange object for the electric storage device installed on the vehicle, an exchange electric storage device with a largest degree of deterioration from among the plurality of exchange electric storage devices when the inventory number is determined to exceed the threshold value by the first determination unit.
