Power demand management apparatus and power demand management system
First Claim
1. A power demand management apparatus comprising:
- a hardware schedule holding section that holds a power restriction schedule indicating a device on which a mobile robot is to perform power restriction, in association with a power restriction execution time;
a hardware movement instructing section that transmits, via a network, movement instructions to the mobile robot such that, prior to the power restriction execution time indicated in the power restriction schedule held by the schedule holding section, the mobile robot moves to an area in which is arranged the device on which the power restriction is to be performed at the execution time; and
a hardware restriction instructing section that transmits, via the network, power restriction instructions to the mobile robot, the power restriction instructions for causing the mobile robot to perform the power restriction on the device at the execution time according to the power restriction schedule held by the schedule holding section.
