Abstract
According to an embodiment, energy management system includes estimating module, preparing module and controller. Estimating module estimates energy demand of a home, and obtains estimated value of energy demand of home. Estimating module estimates energy generation amount and obtains estimated value of the generation amount. Preparing module prepares discharge strategy, based on the estimated energy demand and generation amount. Discharge strategy maximizes balance obtained by subtracting power purchase loss from power selling profit, by using a push-up effect. The controller controls discharge of the energy storage, based on actual values of the energy demand and the generation amount, and the discharge strategy.
