A control device includes a processor configured to: acquire electric power supply information indicating suppliable electric energy by each of a plurality of vehicles and electric power demand information indicating demanded electric energy of a facility to which each of the vehicles supply electric power; fix a master vehicle that controls electric power supply of each of the vehicles from among the vehicles based on the electric power supply information; and control electric energy when each of the vehicles supplies the electric power to the facility based on the electric power supply information of the master vehicle and the electric power demand information.

Control device, server, and storage medium configured to fix a master vehicle that controls electric power supply of a plurality of vehicles based on electric power supply information

The information processing device includes a processor configured to control setting and cancellation of a power supply mode in which the power supply device operates, for a vehicle including the power supply device that supplies electric power to the outside. The processor outputs information requesting an input of authentication information when a canceling request of the power supply mode that is set is acquired.

Information processing device, vehicle, and storage medium

An electric power management system includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of electric power between the battery and an electric power system of an electric power company. The server detects a predetermined operation of a user that correlates with termination of the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system. When the predetermined operation is detected, the server calculates an estimated time when the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system is terminated, and executes a process of distributing the electric power to be exchanged by the vehicle in which the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system is estimated to be terminated at the calculated estimated time to another vehicle that performs the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system.

Electric power management system, electric power management server, and electric power management method

A server includes a processor configured to: acquire electric power supply information indicating electric energy that is suppliable by each of a plurality of vehicles to outside; set electric energy to be supplied to a facility by each of the vehicles based on the electric power supply information of each of the vehicles; and cause each of the vehicles to supply electric power based on the set electric energy of each of the vehicles.

Server, control device, and storage medium

A control system includes a computer that controls each of multiple power balancing resources. The computer selects one or more control targets to be used for power balancing of an external electric power source from the power balancing resources, and controls each of the one or more control targets so as to cause the power storage device to charge or discharge for the power balancing. The computer preferentially selects the power balancing resource provided with a small-capacity power storage device as the control target for the power balancing of which duration is shorter than a predetermined time, and preferentially selects the power balancing resource provided with a large-capacity power storage device as the control target for the power balancing of which the duration is longer than the predetermined time.

Control system and power balancing method

An information processing device includes a processor configured to: acquire connection information representing a state of a connection region including a connection portion that connects a vehicle and a power supply target such that power is able to be supplied; determine whether the connection information includes information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; and output information that issues a notification that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor determines that the connection information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion.

An electric power management system is a system that performs an exchange of electric power with an electric power system of an electric power company that is a counterparty of the exchange of the electric power, and includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of the electric power between the battery of each of the vehicles and the electric power system. The server manages the exchange of the electric power for each vehicle group in which the vehicles are bundled, and configures the vehicle groups in advance such that distributions of the electric power supply and demand characteristics of the batteries of the vehicles included in the vehicle groups are the same or similar.

A control system includes a computer configured to remotely control at least one of charging and discharging of a power storage device mounted on a control target. The computer is configured to transmit a first command indicating charging power or discharging power of the power storage device to the control target via each of a first communication path and a second communication path. The control system further includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not any one of the first communication path and the second communication path is under a cyberattack by using a second command received by the control target via the first communication path when the computer transmits the first command, and a third command received by the control target via the second communication path when the computer transmits the first command.

Control system

An information processing apparatus includes a control section. The control section predicts an amount of electricity demanded for charging of vehicles that a plurality of users use, respectively, and determines a time slot in which the amount of electricity demanded exceeds a threshold value, and when the control section determines that one user of the plurality of users will refrain from use of the relevant vehicle on the following day, makes charging of the one user's vehicle wait in the time slot and provides an incentive to the one user.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, program and vehicle

A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit that send and receives information to and from another device via the communication unit. The control unit receives, from a plurality of terminal devices, information indicating a boarding point at which a user of each of the terminal devices desires to board a vehicle, sends, to the vehicle, information for causing the vehicle to travel along a route via a nearby region of each of a plurality of the boarding points while satisfying a predetermined condition, and notifies the terminal devices of the route.

Server device, operation management system, program, vehicle, and operation management method

A building comprises a structural material configured to form a framework of the building; a hydrogen storing alloy integrated with the structural material; a temperature regulator provided inside of the structural material such as to regulate temperature of the structural material; and a piping provided inside of the structural material such as to cause hydrogen taken out from the hydrogen storing alloy to flow therethrough.
