    Abstract: A control system is configured to control a power adjustment resource including an energy storage device configured to electrically connect to a power network, and a temperature control device configured to perform temperature control of the energy storage device. The control system includes: a first control device configured to control charging and discharging of the energy storage device; a second control device configured to control the temperature control device; and a third control device. The second control device is configured to select either external power or stored power and drives the temperature control device using the selected power. The third control device is configured to determine whether to permit power supply from the power network to the power adjustment resource based on supply and demand information of the power network, and switch between permission and prohibition of the power supply.

    Abstract: An electric energy storage system includes: an electric energy storage device; and a control device configured to perform charge and discharge control and temperature adjustment control of the electric energy storage device. The electric energy storage device is configured to be electrically connected to a power network. The control device is configured such that execution of the temperature adjustment control of the electric energy storage device is restricted when the control device performs the charge and discharge control so as to alleviate power shortage on the power network according to a request from a management computer for the power network.

    Abstract: A charging apparatus includes a movable unit, an ascending and descending device, a detection device, and a control device. The movable unit includes a connection device configured to connect to a power storage device. The ascending and descending device causes the movable unit to ascend or descend between a first state and a second state. The first state is a state in which the movable unit is housed under the ground. The detection device detects an obstacle above the movable unit. The control device prohibits ascent of the movable unit when determination is made that the movable unit is in the first state and the obstacle is present above the movable unit based on a detection result from the detection device.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device controls a vehicle including an occupant door and an opening and closing member for a shareable space. The vehicle control device is configured to control switching between a locked state and an unlocked state of an inlet, and to execute first control. In the first control, the inlet is switched to the unlocked state when the opening and closing member for the shareable space is unlocked by a user while the inlet is in the locked state. The inlet is not switched to the unlocked state when the opening and closing member for the shareable space is unlocked by a third person while the inlet is in the locked state.

    Abstract: A charging apparatus is installed in a partition portion that separates a first parking space and a second parking space, and configured to charge an energy storage device mounted on a vehicle parked in one of the first parking space and the second parking space. The charging apparatus includes a movable portion that includes a connection device that is connectable to the energy storage device, and a moving device. The moving device is configured to move the movable portion to one of a first position at which the movable portion projects into a space that is close to the first parking space with respect to the partition portion, a second position at which the movable portion projects into a space that is close to the second parking space with respect to the partition portion, and a third position at which the movable portion is housed in the partition portion.

    Abstract: A charging facility includes a movable unit, an ascending and descending device, and a control device that includes a communication device. The movable unit includes a connection device. The ascending and descending device causes the movable unit to ascend and descend between a first state where the movable unit is housed underground and a second state where the movable unit is exposed above the ground and a power storage device mounted on a vehicle is connectable to the connection device. The control device acquires a position of a target vehicle and a remaining capacity of the power storage device and controls, when the remaining capacity is lower than a threshold value and the position is within a first distance from the charging facility, the ascending and descending device such that the movable unit ascends.
