Abstract

Lower-level information processing devices (-to-) obtain parameters used for estimating power consumption in accordance with the statuses of electric devices (-to-), estimate the power consumption of the electric devices (-to-) on the basis of the parameters, and transmits the estimated value of the estimated power consumption to an upper-level information processing device (). The upper-level information processing device () determines an assignment of distribution of supply and demand on the basis of the power supply-demand capacity in a predetermined power network and the estimated value of the power consumption and transmits the determined assignments to the lower-level information processing devices (-to-). The lower-level information processing devices (-to-) controls the operations of the electric devices (-to-) on the basis of the assignment of distribution of supply and demand.
