Abstract
Provided is a power equalization device capable of equalizing the power supplied to a manufacturing line from outside even in the case where a plurality of materials are simultaneously processed at different locations. For this purpose, the power equalization device has a power demand prediction function of predicting power consumption expected when a plurality of materials are simultaneously processed at different locations of a manufacturing plant or manufacturing line of a metallic material, and a power equalization control function of causing a power storage device to make the manufacturing plant or the manufacturing line perform discharging in the case where power consumption predicted by the power demand prediction function exceeds a prescribed value, so that power supplied to the manufacturing plant or the manufacturing line from an external power system becomes not more than the prescribed value.
