Patent number: 9946275Abstract: The power management system includes: a power management device for managing power to be used by multiple power loads; and a large power-using power load. The large power-using power load is defined as a power load which shows a power consumption larger than a difference between allowable power and an upper limit power smaller than the allowable power when operating at a maximum power consumption. The power management device calculates remaining available power available for the large power-using power load, from the total power consumption of the multiple power loads and the upper limit power, and notifies the remaining available power to the large power-using power load. The large power-using power load starts to operate under a condition that its power consumption is equal to or less than the remaining available power notified by the power management device.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Takehara, Kenji Nakakita, Hitoshi Nomura, Fumitaka Ogasawara, Erina Nagae

Patent number: 9927824Abstract: A controller includes a request acquisition unit that receives an operation permission request from a device, a calculation unit that calculates margin electric power derived from measurement by a measurement unit and an upper limit electric power, and a suppression unit that instructs the device to lower electric power consumption. When the margin electric power is less than the required electric power, the controller suppresses electric power consumption in devices in lower priority order stored in a priority storage unit within the suppression unit, such that electric power consumption increase in the management area may remain within the margin electric power. Then the controller issues the requesting device permission-or-denial for the operation, from the calculation unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Nakakita, Kiyotaka Takehara, Yasuhiro Yanagi, Hitoshi Nomura, Akiko Takamiya
