In a management system, a management apparatus includes a detector configured to detect an operating status of a piece of electric equipment installed in a house, and a transmitter configured to transmit, to a first management server, operation information of the operating status detected by the detector. The first management server includes a receiver configured to receive the operation information from the management apparatus, and a calculator configured to calculate a responsivity index based on operation information of a piece of specific electric equipment among a plurality of the pieces of electric equipment, the responsivity index indicating a possibility that a user of the piece of electric equipment is capable of responding to an external request.

Management system and management method

An equipment management system comprises a gateway apparatus having an interface configured to receive an operation command for operating an equipment, a first database configured to store first information allowed access from the gateway apparatus, a second database configured to store second information prohibited access from the gateway apparatus, and a controller configured to allow access to the first database from the gateway apparatus and prohibit access to the second database from the gateway apparatus. The second information includes equipment information collected from a control apparatus controlling the equipment.

Equipment management system and equipment management method

Provided is a cogeneration system that includes a plurality of fuel cell devices capable of supplying heat and power to a heat load and a power load and a control device connected to the fuel cell devices. The control device determines an operation mode on the basis of at least one of a heat demand value and a power demand value. The control device controls a power generation efficiency and a heat recovery efficiency by controlling the fuel cell devices on the basis of the operation mode determined.

Cogeneration system for controlling fuel cell devices based on operation mode

Power management apparatuses, power management systems, and power management methods for controlling power of a storage cell so as to allow appropriate compliance with requests from both the power supply side and the consumer side. A power management apparatus is provided in a consumer facility and includes a controller that manages the amount of stored electricity. The controller divides the amount of stored electricity at least into a first domain and a second domain and manages the domains, where the first domain is a domain in which to perform long-term control and the second domain is a domain in which to perform short-term control during power management in the consumer facility.
