Abstract: Provided is a vertical axis turbine with which blade lift is further increased, the use efficiency of the wind energy and the like is further improved, and initial motion is easy and reliable. One aspect of the present invention includes: a plurality of blades 20 that are connected to a rotation axis 11, have a blade span in the direction of the rotation axis 11 and a chord length in the rotation direction of the rotation axis 11, and are formed such that the distance thereof from the rotation axis 11 changes in a logarithmic spiral form from a blade tip 91 toward a blade root 92; small, so-called vortex generators 50 disposed on the blade surfaces; and so-called winglets 60 provided at the blade tips. Arms 30B connecting the blades 20 and the rotation axis 11 are also in a spiral or logarithmic spiral form and are formed in an airfoil shape so as to provide a sub-blade effect.

Abstract: A first profile of each of resources in which information about characteristics of the resources when creating negawatts by controlling operation of the resources and decreasing electric power consumption of the resources or creating posiwatts by increasing the electric power consumption of the resources, and information about contract content between an aggregator and a relevant consumer are described, and a first control scenario for each electric power trading form in which control content of the resources to decrease the electric power consumption is described are stored; a resource group composed of a plurality of resources is generated by combining the resources so that the negawatts or posiwatts which satisfy conditions of a trading target electric power product can be created, on the basis of the first profile of each resource; a control scenario is selected; and each of the resources constituting the generated resource group is controlled accordingly.
