A resource collection apparatus is an apparatus for collecting waste reusable as a resource. The resource collection apparatus includes an opening associated with a predetermined sorting type, an opening/closing unit configured to open and close the opening, a first detector configured to perform an operation to detect a target waste belonging to a user, and a controller configured to specify a sorting type into which the target waste is to be sorted, by using a result of the detection by the first detector. The controller switches the opening/closing unit from a closed state to an open state when the specified sorting type matches the sorting type associated with the opening.

Recovery apparatus and control method of resource recovery apparatus

The distributed power supply system includes: a communicator configured to receive a first message from a power management server configured to control the distributed power supply and receive a second message from an equipment management server configured to monitor the distributed power supply; and a controller configured to control the distributed power supply based on the first message and the second message. If the first message and the second message conflict with each other, the controller controls the distributed power supply based on the second message preferentially over the first message.

Distributed power supply system, control apparatus and distributed power supply control method

A power management server controls a fuel cell system including a power generator. The power management server includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to execute a reception process and control process. The reception process incudes a reception process of receiving a massage including an information element indicating an operation state of the fuel cell system. The control process includes a control process of controlling the fuel cell system which the operation state is a power generating state, in preference to the fuel cell system which the operation state is a starting up state, stopping state, and stop operating state, in a control target period.

Power management server, power management system, and power management method

A power control device, power control method, and power control system capable of appropriate power control so that power consumption does not exceed contract power with an electric power company even in the event of a power failure are provided. A power control device installed in a consumer's facility to manage a power state of a load apparatus or a dispersed power source in the consumer's facility, includes: a communicator configured to acquire sensor data relating to the load apparatus or the dispersed power source; a backup power source that is charged with a commercial power source, and supplies power during a power failure; and a controller configured to issue a control instruction to the dispersed power source, when the backup power source supplies power.

Power control device, power control method, and power control system

A transmission apparatus () includes an acquisition unit () for acquiring a power consumption of each of a plurality of power loads; a communication unit () for transmitting data associated with the power consumption to a server via a network; and a controller () for acquiring a congestion degree of the network, wherein the controller () determines a priority of the data based on the congestion degree and controls the communication unit () to transmit the data in priority order.

Transmission apparatus and transmission method

Provided is a communication device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire the electrical quantity of a power load, a communication unit configured to wirelessly transmit a packet including the electrical quantity acquired to a master unit that wirelessly transmits a control signal that controls the electrical quantity of a plurality of loads, and a controller configured to switch operation of the communication unit to a second mode in which the packet is wirelessly transmitted without specifying a destination when the electrical quantity equal to or greater than a first reference value is acquired during operation of the communication unit in a first mode in which the packet is wirelessly transmitted to the base station by specifying a destination.
