Abstract: In a predetermined interval, electric power that is generated by power-source equipment is charged to a storage device and the amount of electric power that is accumulated in the storage device is reported from a communication device to a device that is provided to an electric power provider or a consumer. After the passage of a predetermined time interval, the amount of electric power that was previously reported to the device that is provided to the electric power provider or the consumer is discharged from the storage device and supplied to the electric power distribution system.
