    Abstract: An operation management server manages a vehicle equipped with a battery able to store regenerated electric power. The operation management server includes: a processor that generates a message to be transmitted to the vehicle; and a storage that stores traveling histories of a plurality of vehicles. The processor estimates a transition in a power storage amount of the battery on a planned travel route of the vehicle based on a travel plan of the vehicle and the travel histories of the vehicles. The processor generates the message for proposing execution of external power supply from the battery to an outside of the vehicle before the power storage amount reaches a predetermined amount, when an estimation is made that the power storage amount will exceed the predetermined amount on the planned travel route.

    Abstract: A server manages power balancing resources electrically connected to a power network. The server includes a processor. In response to receipt of input of a travel schedule including a date and time of travel, a departure point, and a destination point from a user of the vehicle, the processor predicts a power supply and demand balance on the power network for the date and time of travel, based on power supply and demand performance information of the power network. In response to prediction that the power supply and demand balance is going to be adjusted on the date and time of travel, the processor provides the user suggestion to keep the vehicle connected to the power equipment on the date and time of travel and a reward for the vehicle responding to a request to adjust the power supply and demand balance.

    Abstract: EVSE (electric equipment) externally feeds the power of the battery to the electric load. EVSE externally charges the power of the power grid to the battery. The vehicle-side ECU and ECU are connected by a CPLT signal line. When a short circuit occurs EVSE of the charger/discharger during external power supply or external charge, ECU identifies a short circuit location based on the detected current sensor. Also, from ECU to ECU of the vehicle, information on the point of short circuit is communicated using CPLT signal line.

    Abstract: A power management apparatus includes a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information about supply and demand of electric power for a power bank (power storage device), and a processor (controller) that controls electric power received by an electric vehicle from the power bank. The processor sets a power exchange ratio of electric power received from the power bank to electric power supplied to the power bank, depending on the supply and demand of electric power. The processor determines an amount of electric power to be received by the electric vehicle from the power bank, based on an amount of electric power supplied from the electric vehicle to the power bank, and the power exchange ratio.

    Abstract: A power management apparatus includes a selector that selects a target number of electrically powered vehicles from a vehicle group including a plurality of electrically powered vehicles and a request processor that can issue to each electrically powered vehicle selected by the selector, a request for at least one of charging of a power storage with electric power from a power grid and power feed to the power grid. The selector obtains a temperature and an SOC of the power storage of each electrically powered vehicle included in the vehicle group and makes selection in accordance with a priority predetermined based on the temperature of the power storage and the SOC of the power storage.

    Abstract: A power storage system includes: a power storage device mounted on a vehicle; a heat source configured to be capable of heating the power storage device with electric power; and a control device configured to control the heat source. The control device is configured to detect supply power that is supplied to the vehicle from a power-supplying facility provided outside the vehicle, determine a first target temperature by using the detected supply power, and control the heat source to cause a temperature of the power storage device to approach the first target temperature.

    Abstract: A VGI system includes a plurality of BEVs, a plurality of pieces of EVSE, and a server. The server determines whether the BEV exchanges electric power with a power grid with the use of second EVSE provided in a second area, the second area being different in manner of management of power supply by the power grid from a first area where predetermined first EVSE is provided, the first EVSE being normally used by the BEV. When the server determines that the BEV exchanges electric power with the use of the second EVSE and when the second area is higher than the first area in contribution to DR in exchange of electric power by the BEV, the server grants an incentive higher than in exchange of electric power with the power grid with the use of the first EVSE.
