Abstract: A CEMS server includes a control device that executes a notification process of notifying a user of an electrified vehicle of promotion information for promoting charge or discharge, and a storage device that stores a program executable by the control device. The control device executes the notification process in a case where a first condition and a second condition are satisfied. The control device does not execute the notification process in a case where the first condition or the second condition is not satisfied. The first condition is a condition that a destination of the electrified vehicle is a predetermined place at which the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is possible. The second condition is a condition that a request for the charge or discharge is estimated in a period in which the electrified vehicle is present at the predetermined place.

Abstract: When an operation for reserving a rental car is performed on a communication terminal, reservation information is transmitted from the communication terminal to the management server. The management server extracts a reservation period included in the reservation information, issues an incentive based on the reservation period, and notifies the incentive. When the user applies an incentive to the communication device to confirm the reservation, the operation information is sent to the management server, and the management server confirms the reservation. When the reservation confirmation is notified, the communication terminal sets the reservation period as VPP participation period of the electrified vehicles, and transmits the participation information including the information of VPP participation period to HEMS controllers. HEMS controllers register the electrified vehicles as power resources in the period specified by VPP participation period.

Abstract: An electric vehicle management device manages an electric vehicle that is chargeable by an electric power system. The electric vehicle management device performs a state-of-charge (SOC) adjustment process for adjusting the SOC of the traveling electric vehicle based on a prediction value of a market price calculated based on information of a market price of electric power.

Abstract: A vehicle is a vehicle that is capable of participating in demand response (DR) for adjustment of electricity supply-demand balance in an electric power grid. The vehicle includes an MG, an inlet, a battery, and an ECU. The ECU performs SOC lowering control that controls the MG in such a manner that when the vehicle participates in down DR at a travel end point of the vehicle where an electricity facility is installed, a travel end SOC, which is a SOC of the battery at the travel end point, becomes lower than when the vehicle does not participate in down DR at the travel end point.

Abstract: An input device receives an input operation from a user of a vehicle on which a power storage device is mounted. A notification device notifies the user of information. A setting unit sets a usable range of a state of charge of the power storage device, in accordance with a user operation performed on the input device. A charging and discharging control unit controls charging and discharging of an electric power for the power storage device, based on the usable range set by the setting unit. The setting unit calculates an expected range of the usable range, and outputs the expected range to the notification device. Using the expected range, the notification device performs a process of guiding the user so that the usable range is within the expected range.

Abstract: A power management system includes a plurality of power adjustment resources electrically connected to a microgrid MG, and a CEMS server that manages the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server outputs a power adjustment request to the power adjustment resources when suppression of power consumption or consumption of surplus power in the microgrid MG is requested, and gives an incentive to a “responding resource” as the power adjustment resource that performs power adjustment in response to the power adjustment request among the power adjustment resources. The CEMS server increases the incentive more as a deviation of a time period during which the power adjustment is performed by the responding resource, with respect to a time period determined in the power adjustment request is smaller.
