POWER MANAGEMENT DEVICE, POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND DEMAND NOTIFYING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A power management device comprising:
- a power demand predicting section configured to calculate a first predicted amount of power demand, the first predicted amount of power demand representing a result of prediction of power demand of a power consumer on a date and time in a future, and a second predicted amount of power demand, the second predicted amount of power demand being calculated after the first predicted amount of power demand, and represent a result of prediction of power demand of the power consumer on the date and time in the future;
a demand control section configured to determine a demand for prompting the power consumer to adjust the amount of power demand on a basis of the first predicted amount of power demand and the second predicted amount of power demand;
a demand issuing section configured to issue the demand determined by the demand control section to the power consumer; and
an acceptance receiving section configured to receive acceptance of the issued demand by the power consumer.

Abstract
A power management device includes a power demand predicting section, demand control section, demand issuing section, and acceptance receiving section. The power demand predicting section calculates a first predicted amount of power demand, representing a result of prediction of power demand of a power consumer on a date and time in a future, and a second predicted amount of power demand, being calculated after the first predicted amount of power demand, and represents a result of prediction of power demand of the consumer on the date and time in the future. The demand control section determines a demand for prompting the consumer to adjust the amount of power demand based on the first and the second predicted amounts of power demand. The demand issuing section issues the demand determined by the demand control section to the consumer. The acceptance receiving section receives acceptance of the issued demand by the consumer.
