A power generation amount prediction apparatus includes a first detector, acquisition unit, database, and controller. The first detector detects a measured value of the power generation amount of a photovoltaic power generation device. The acquisition unit acquires a predicted value of the power generation amount by the photovoltaic power generation device at specific times. The database stores the measured value and the predicted value for each of the specific times for a plurality of days. The controller calculates a corrected predicted value for each of the specific times based on a maximum measured value, a maximum predicted value, and a predicted value newly received by the acquisition unit. The maximum measured value and the maximum predicted value are respectively the maximum value, for each of the specific times, of the measured value and of the predicted value for a predetermined number of days.

Power generation amount prediction apparatus, method for correcting power generation amount prediction, and natural energy power generation system

Disclosed is a control system () provided with: a generation apparatus () for generating control information that is information based on demand and supply of power generated at a power plant (), and that is to be used for controlling power at the location of consumers () of electric power to whom power generated at the power plant (); and a correction apparatus () for correcting the control information, taking into consideration either a distributed power supply or a storage battery that can supply power to a consumer group () of electric power. Power control is executed at the location of the consumers who comprise the consumer group () of electric power, using the corrected control information.
