A power management system includes an output facility configured to output output power with environment additive value and a consumption facility. The system further includes: a first receiver configured to receive, from the output facility, a message including an information element indicating the output power, a second receiver configured to receive, from the consumption facility, a message including an information element indicating consumption power consumed by the consumption facility, and a controller configured to identify the output power occupied in the consumption power and identify alternative power corresponding to a power loss, based on the power loss occurring on a power path from the output facility to the consumption facility. The controller is configured to identify the environment additive value corresponding to the output power occupied in the consumption power without based on the power loss.

Power management system, method and server having consumption facility for receiving power from output facility

A power management method comprises a step A of transmitting a first message from a power management server to a local control apparatus according to a first protocol. The power management server manages a facility connected to a power grid. The local control apparatus is provided in the facility. A communication between the local control apparatus and an equipment provided in the facility is performed according to a second protocol different from the first protocol. The step A includes a step of transmitting the first message in a manner capable of identifying a control for the local control apparatus and a control for a target equipment which is the equipment designated by the power management server.

Power management method, power management server, local control apparatus and power management system

A management system includes a power conversion device converting power output from a distributed power source and a management device. The management device includes a transmitter transmitting to the power conversion device a command requesting a state of the power conversion device. The power conversion device includes a transmitter transmitting to the management device a response command including a property indicating a state of the power conversion device in response to the command. The property includes output suppression information on output suppression of the distributed power source based on output suppression specified by a provider.

A management system includes an equipment and a management device. The management device includes a transmitter that transmits a first command to the equipment to instruct an operation of the equipment. The equipment includes a controller that controls an operation of the equipment according to the first command, and a transmitter that transmits a response command containing a property indicating a state of the equipment to the management device. A property of the first command includes a variable property indicating a variable that can be changed by an operation of the equipment. The controller keeps a variable indicated by the variable property without any change when the operation instructed by the first command is kept continuous. The transmitter provided in the equipment transmits the response command containing a specific value as the variable property to specify whether the operation is performed according to the first command.

Management system, management method, equipment, and management device

A management system includes a management apparatus; and a power conversion apparatus configured to convert, at least one of output power from a distributed power source and input power into the distributed power source, into AC power or DC power. The management apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive a power control message controlling the power conversion apparatus, from an external server of a business operator that manages a power system to which the distributed power source is connected; and a transmitter configured to transmit the power control message to the power conversion apparatus, and the power conversion apparatus is configured to operate without following the power control message in a predetermined state.

A power management method includes a step A of transmitting a first message from a power management server to a local control apparatus according to a first protocol, and a step B of transmitting a second message from the local control apparatus to an equipment according to a second protocol different from the first protocol. The second message corresponds to control content for the equipment instructed by the first message and includes an information element of the second protocol corresponding to an information element of the first protocol.

A communication apparatus comprises a first communication unit configured to receive, from an external server, an output suppression message instructing output suppression of a dispersed power source; and a second communication unit configured to perform communication of a predetermined message having a predetermined format with a power management apparatus that manages power of an equipment installed in a consumer's facility. The output suppression of the dispersed power source is performed in accordance with the output suppression message by a conversion apparatus that converts DC power output from the dispersed power source to AC power. The predetermined format includes an information element capable of storing at least one of first information and second information, the first information being related to a communication status with the conversion apparatus, the second information being related to an acquisition status of the output suppression message. The second communication unit is configured to transmit, to the power management apparatus, the predetermined message including at least one of the first information and the second information as an information element.

A terminal apparatus is provided that makes it easy to determine whether or not data once saved can be deleted. When data included in a memory is output to an external equipment of the terminal apparatus, output history data including an output destination, an output day and time, and an output section is generated/updated while being correlated with the data. Then, if required, an output history of the data can be displayed based on the output history data after the output of the data.

Terminal apparatus with data output capability

On transition of a 1x system from a standby state in which standby processing is performed to out of service state in an SHDR mode, the standby processing for the 1x system using a receiver unit (RX) is halted and, when an instruction to switch from a call through an EVDO system using a transmitter-receiver unit (RX/TX) and/or the receiver unit (RX) to a call through the 1x system using the transmitter-receiver unit (RX/TX) during the halt state is detected, a system detection process for detecting the 1x system is performed by using the receiver unit (RX).
