Abstract: Load control method suppressing reduction in functionality of a load resource brought about by demand response. The load control method includes: obtaining first time information for specifying demand response commencement time T1 and second time information for specifying ramping completion time T3; determining ramping commencement time T4 based on first time information and second time information; and causing ramping to be commenced at T4. T1 is a time point at which a demand response event is to be commenced. T3 is a time point at which ramping, which is a process through which an amount of electricity received from an electricity grid is changed, is to be completed. T4 is a time point at which ramping is to be commenced. T4 is later than T1 and earlier than T3.

Abstract: A apparatus includes: a detector that detects a parameter that indicates a state of an electric power system; a first communication interface that communicates with a device that receives power supplied from the electric power system; a second communication interface that receives a demand response signal from a server that monitors a state of the electric power system; and a control circuit that controls the device via a first communication interface. The demand response signal contains either first information indicating an instruction for increasing the amount of power supplied from the electric power system to the device or second information indicating an instruction for decreasing the amount of power supplied from the electric power system to the device, and the control circuit determines whether control of the device is performed in accordance with the demand response signal based on the first information or second information contained and the detected parameter.
