An arrangement planning device includes: a collection unit that collects state information indicative of a present-time state of each of storage batteries; a prediction calculation unit that calculates a performance indicator of a degree of wear of each of the storage batteries from the state information; an amount-of-operation acquisition unit that obtains a required amount of operation of the storage batteries at each of places of use, the storage batteries being to be placed in the places of use; a policy acquisition unit that obtains an operation policy for each of the storage batteries; and a placement location determination unit that determines a placement location for each of the storage batteries from the places of use, wherein the placement location determination unit determines the placement location for each of the storage batteries based on the required amount of operation, the performance indicator, and the operation policy.

Arrangement planning device

An electric power demand/supply management device includes: a state information acquisition unit that obtains state information indicating the current state of a battery which is mounted on, for example, a vehicle; a performance calculation unit that calculates a performance index indicating the consumption degree of the battery from the state information; and an incentive imparting unit that imparts an incentive according to a value of the performance index to a provider who provides the battery as electric power demand/supply adjustment means of an electric power transmission/distribution system.

Electric power demand/supply management device

An energy management device comprises a first supply/demand information acquisition unit, a second supply/demand information acquisition unit, and a supply/demand management unit configured to determine, based on the first supply/demand information and the second supply/demand information, at least one of (i) an upper limit value of a power amount that the hydrogen generation system can receive from a power grid during a certain period, (ii) a target value of an amount of hydrogen that the hydrogen generation system generates during the certain period, (iii) an upper limit value of a power amount that each of the one or plurality of tri-generation systems can transmit to the power grid during the certain period, and (iv) a target value of a power amount that each of the one or plurality of tri-generation systems generates during the certain period.

Energy management device, hydrogen utilization system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and energy management method

A terminal detection method that includes a search step, a first acquisition step, a second acquisition step, and a detection step. The search step transmits a response request through broadcast communication and searches a terminal device that exists within a predetermined range. The first acquisition step acquires, from the terminal device, at least specific information of the terminal device. The second acquisition step executes communication with the terminal device based on the specific information acquired in the first acquisition step and acquires second information that indicates a function possessed by the terminal device. The detection step detects that the terminal device has a desired function based on the first information acquired in the first acquisition step and the second information acquired in the second acquisition step.
