    Abstract: An energy management method for an energy supply system which includes at least an energy storage, a load and a generator with power dependent efficiency is provided. The method includes: calculating two time variant parameters indicating a discharge lower limit and an upper charge limit, respectively, of the energy storage, based on optimization using different kinds of prediction; and controlling, in a real time manner, charging and discharging of the energy storage and operation of the generator, with a certain priorities given to various power sources, such that state of charge of the energy storage is controlled within a region between the discharge lower limit and the upper charge limit. When a grid power is available, blackout duration probability function is predicted and used to calculate the discharge lower limit and the upper charge limit.

    Abstract: Lower-level information processing devices (20-1 to 20-n) obtain parameters used for estimating power consumption in accordance with the statuses of electric devices (30-1 to 30-n), estimate the power consumption of the electric devices (30-1 to 30-n) on the basis of the parameters, and transmits the estimated value of the estimated power consumption to an upper-level information processing device (10). The upper-level information processing device (10) determines an assignment of distribution of supply and demand on the basis of the power supply-demand capacity in a predetermined power network and the estimated value of the power consumption and transmits the determined assignments to the lower-level information processing devices (20-1 to 20-n). The lower-level information processing devices (20-1 to 20-n) controls the operations of the electric devices (30-1 to 30-n) on the basis of the assignment of distribution of supply and demand.
