  • Publication number: 20240258810
    Abstract: A generation apparatus acquires a driving plan for an electric mobile body; generates charge and discharge plan candidates for respective batteries; excludes on the basis of the driving plan a charge and discharge plan candidate that involves charge and discharge in a non-connection period in which the electric mobile body is not connected to a power system and a charge and discharge plan candidate that does not fill a supposed battery consumption amount of the electric mobile body in the non-connection period from the charge and discharge plan candidates; calculates an operation cost of the power system for a charge and discharge plan candidate which remains after the exclusion; determines a charge and discharge plan on the basis of the operation cost; and outputs the determined charge and discharge plan.

  • Publication number: 20200074377
    Abstract: A contribution level determination method includes: obtaining, from a first storage device, records of annotation works for each of one or more units of target data for which the annotation works carried out by each of workers that use crowdsourcing have been completed; and calculating work contribution levels for each of worker IDs representing a different one of the workers, in accordance with a predetermined weighting rule stored in a second storage device, by referring to the records. In the calculating of the contribution levels, for each of the one or more units of target data, the work contribution level is calculated using a heavier weight for the worker ID representing a particular worker who carried out the annotation work initially than for the work contribution levels for the worker IDs representing the workers who carried out annotation works after the particular worker, in the order of the annotation works.
