A CEMS server obtains meteorological information and hydrogen station information. The CEMS server predicts a power demand of a microgrid after a designated period. When the power demand of the microgrid after the designated period exceeds contract power and when an amount of electric power to be reduced exceeds a prescribed value, the CEMS server generates a hydrogen addition notification and transmits the generated hydrogen addition notification to an FCEV and/or a communication terminal. The amount of electric power to be reduced is a difference between the contract power and the power demand.

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

A controller of an EMS server determines whether it has received a supply and demand request from a power transmission and distribution utility server. When having received the supply and demand request, the controller determines whether the supply and demand request is for requesting an increase in power demand or for requesting an increase in power demand. The controller decomposes the supply and demand request into first to third requests. The controller creates a negawatt DR execution plan or a posiwatt DR execution plan based on a determination result of S. The controller allocates power adjustment resources to the first to third requests in consideration of responsiveness of each of the power adjustment resources. The controller transmits the first to third request signals to target power adjustment resources in accordance with the execution plan.

A server manages demand and supply of electric power between a power network and at least one vehicle which is electrically connected to the power network and available as a power adjustment resource of the power network. The at least one vehicle includes a FCEV. The server includes: an acquisition unit that obtains an operation plan of the FCEV and information on a remaining hydrogen level that is available for the FCEV; and a determination unit that determines whether the FCEV is available for a DR request, based on the operation plan and the remaining hydrogen level information.
