A necessary operation time setting unit (120) sets a necessary operation time with respect to each of the plural power-consuming bodies (20). A shape information obtaining unit (130) obtains shape information from a schedule management apparatus (40). The shape information represents an assumed shape of a transition line indicating transition in the amount of power supplied in a target period. A demand transition setting unit (140) determines power demand transition information indicating transition in electrical energy demand in the target period so that the necessary operation time is obtained and the transition in the electrical energy demand generated by the plural power-consuming bodies (20) being operated follows the assumed shape.

Abstract: An energy management system and an energy management method enable an improvement of the balance between power supply and demand. A storage battery (52) is connected to a power line (42) that transmits outside power. A storage battery controller (54) receives a control signal indicating a reduced use period during which the consumption of the outside power by a consumer apparatus (43) connected to the power line (42) is to be reduced, acquires an index value that has a correlation with the demand for outside power, and on the basis of the control signal and the index value, adjusts the amount of charging/discharging of the storage battery (52).

Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion element that has a power generation layer containing an iron-aluminum based magnetic alloy material containing equal to or more than 70 weight percent of iron and aluminum in total. The power generation layer generates an electromotive force, due to an anomalous Nernst effect that develops in the magnetic alloy material in response to a temperature gradient applied thereto, in a direction intersecting both the magnetization direction of the magnetic alloy material and the direction of the applied temperature gradient.
