Abstract
A server manages plural vehicles each configured to be able to participate in a DR. A first vehicle is able to transmit power through a power cable. A second vehicle is able to transmit power in a non-contact manner while being stationary. A third vehicle is able to transmit power in a non-contact manner while traveling. The server includes a communication device and a processing device. The communication device is able to transmit a DR signal to each of the vehicles. The processing device selects a target vehicle, to which the DR signal is to be transmitted, from the vehicles in accordance with the priority degree for participation in the DR. The processing device sets the priority degree of the first vehicle to be higher than that of the second vehicle, and sets the priority degree of the second vehicle to be higher than that of the third vehicle.
