A Service Provider (SP) includes a controller that instructs several Producers (provide the electric energy) and Consumers (consume the electric energy) about the electrical energy. The controller selects one of the Producers as an Active Producer (AP) that provides a predetermined volume of the electric energy, one of a remainder of the Producers as a Passive Producer (PP) that adjusts a volume of provided electric energy to be, one of the Consumers as an Active Consumer (AC) that consumes a predetermined volume of the electric energy, and one of a remainder of the Consumers as a Passive Consumer (PC) that adjusts a volume of consumed electric energy, and the controller instructs one of Passive Subscribers (either the PP or the PC) to adjust the electric energy, so as to mitigate a difference between a total supply volume and a total demand volume.

System and methods for performing microgrids cooperation by optimal coalition formation in a distribution network are disclosed. A Microgrid Cooperation Module (MCM) is designed for utility EMS. MCM contains a coalition formation unit and an energy exchange decision unit. Furthermore, a communication protocol for energy exchange between two microgrids is designed. The coalition formation unit applies an innovative hierarchical coalition formation algorithm to provide optimal coalition for real time operation. The real time energy status of microgrids will be provided to coalition formation unit which will determine the coalitions (given a distance threshold) among microgrids to minimize the power loss. Energy exchange decision unit then determine actual energy transfer between pairs of microgrids within a coalition. Upon receiving the energy transfer information through a communication channel, the microgrids will start communicating and process energy transfer. The optimality of the formed coalitions is ensured by performing coalitional game theoretical analysis.

A supply information acquisition unit acquires supply information indicating supply energy from a power supply unit. A demand information acquisition unit acquires demand information indicating a demand energy from a power receiving unit and accepting conditions. A first matching unit performs first matching for determining the power supply unit that supplies power to each power receiving unit so as to fulfill accepting conditions of each power receiving unit. A surplus power supply unit determination unit determines a surplus power supply unit, which is the power supply unit having a surplus supply energy. An arbitrary power receiving unit determination unit determines an arbitrary power receiving unit, which is the power receiving unit in which a demand energy is not fulfilled.

Data supply apparatus, system, and method for supplying data to hierarchically-connected data supply destinations

A mobile terminal prompts a user to make a voice message upon detection of an abnormally interrupted call, and records the message. Then, the mobile terminal converts the recorded voice data and a telephone number of a communication partner's terminal into a format suitable for data communication. Next, the mobile terminal transmits the converted data to a mobile data communication relay base station. The mobile data communication relay base station forwards the converted data to a data communication network storage device via a data communication network. A stored message transmitter retrieves the telephone number of the communication partner's terminal from the data communication network storage device and calls the communication partner's terminal via a fixed telephone network. When communication is established between the stored message transmitter and the communication partner's terminal, the stored message transmitter reproduces the voice data retrieved from the data communication network storage device in response to a request from the communication partner's terminal.

Call interruption compensation system

A mobile terminal transmits an N-th authentication key to an authentication server when the mobile terminal has moved from a coverage area under a certain radio access point to a coverage area under another radio access point. The N-th authentication key is generated by applying a hash function to a random number a number of times one smaller than an (N&#x2212;1)th authentication key which was transmitted when the mobile terminal moved to the coverage area under the certain radio access point. Upon receipt of the N-th authentication key from the mobile terminal, the authentication server applies the hash function once to the N-th authentication key, and compares the result with the (N&#x2212;1)th authentication key. Then, the authentication server determines that the authentication is successful when there is a match between both keys.
