Abstract:
In a communication system including: a control apparatus which controls pairing for communication according kinds of pairing methods; and devices each of which performs pairing for communication according to one or more predetermined kinds of pairing methods, and performs encryption communication with the control apparatus by pairing with the control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus includes: a kind obtaining unit which obtains, from each device, the predetermined kinds of pairing methods for the device; a combination determining unit which determines, for each device, a combination of a same kind of pairing methods included in both the plurality of kinds of pairing methods for the control apparatus and the predetermined kinds of pairing methods obtained by the kind obtaining unit; and a display unit which displays, to a user, the combination of the same kind of pairing methods determined by the combination determining unit according to a predetermined condition.
Abstract:
A chat system transfers chat data transmitted from a user terminal to a chat bot or another user terminal via a network. When the chat data transmitted from the user terminal is detected to include a content related to personal information, the chat system performs a predetermined filtering process on the chat data.
Abstract:
Deriver extracts, based on a power adjustment quantity provided from a power supply utility, a plurality of candidate combinations of power facilities that are candidates that achieve the power adjustment quantity from among a plurality of power facilities. Deriver derives a group of candidate combinations of power facilities that includes the plurality of candidate combinations of power facilities extracted. Selector selects a combination of power facilities that achieves the power adjustment quantity from among the group of candidate combinations of power facilities based on response information of each power facility in the past, the response information being information in response to a DR request.
Abstract:
A power management system includes a receiver, an estimator, an administrator and a determiner. The receiver acquires DR information that includes a reduction value and a target period for requesting a reduction of received power. The estimator estimates, as first power information, power that is consumed by an electric load during the target period. The administrator manages, as second power information, power that can be output from a power supplying apparatus including a power storage apparatus. The determiner determines that a condition for participating in a power trade market is met, when determining that the reduction value is achievable during the target period, based on the first power information and the second power information.
Abstract:
A prediction unit predicts electric power consumed by an electric load. When the electric power predicted by the prediction unit exceeds a limit value that is set to a building of a consumer, a calculation unit calculates an excess charge to be paid in addition to a price for electric power received by the building. A transaction participating unit is configured to perform an application to a transaction device when the amount of money that the consumer receives exceeds the excess charge while a first state, in which electric power from a power supply facility is supplied to a power system, is selected. A controller is configured to select the first state when the contract is concluded. The controller is configured to select a second state so that the electric power from the electric power system does not exceed the limit value unless a contract is conclude.
Abstract:
A power management system includes a first administrator, a second administrator, a first estimator, a second estimator and a determiner. The first administrator manages a residual capacity of a power storage apparatus. The second administrator manages interruption information regarding a power grid. The first estimator estimates, as first power information, an amount of power that is consumed by an electric load during an interruption period. The second estimator estimates an estimation residual capacity that is the residual capacity at an end point of the interruption period, based on the first power information. The determiner determines that a condition for participating in a power trade market is met, when the estimation residual capacity exceeds a reference value.
Abstract:
The power adjustment system includes a first estimator, a second estimator, a calculator, a controller, and a determiner. The first estimator estimates power to be consumed by an electric load during an interested period. The second estimator estimates power obtainable from a power supply apparatus during the interested period. The calculator determines a profit in the interested period by calculating a difference between income and a cost. The controller selects one of a first state of supplying power from a power storage apparatus to a power grid and a second state of supplying power from the power storage apparatus to the electric load. The determiner provides an instruction to the controller so as to maximize the profit in the interested period.
Abstract:
A first estimator estimates first power to be generated by a photovoltaic power generation apparatus during an interested period. A second estimator estimates second power to be consumed by an electric load during the interested period. A power purchasing cost calculator calculates, when there is a shortfall in the first power compared to the second power, a cost to be paid for receiving, from a power grid, power for compensating for the shortfall. A determiner compares an amount of money to be paid to a customer facility in accordance with a trading term when power is supplied from the power storage apparatus to the power grid, with the cost calculated by the power purchasing cost calculator. A controller causes the power storage apparatus to the electric load when the cost to be paid to the customer facility is equal to or less than the cost.
