Power supply and demand leveling system
First Claim
1. A power supply and demand leveling system, comprising:
- a plurality of electricity consumers supplied with electricity from electricity utilities through distribution lines, and whose electric vehicles are arbitrarily parked and connected to the distribution lines;
a power supply/demand condition judging device into which power supply/demand conditions of the electricity consumers are individually entered, and which judges from the entered information a total power supply/demand condition of the electricity consumers as a whole;
a battery capacity judging device into which capacities of batteries installed in the electric vehicles being parked, which will be usable after the batteries are charged/discharged, are individually entered from the electricity consumers, and which judges a total usable capacity from the entered information;
a charge/discharge command setting device into which an individual power supply/demand condition of the electricity consumers and a total power supply/demand condition of the electricity consumers as a whole are entered from the power supply/demand condition judging device, into which an individual usable capacity of the batteries and a total usable capacity of all the batteries are entered from the battery capacity judging device, sets charge/discharge commands required to prevent a fluctuation in power supply and demand of the electricity consumers as a whole and an imbalance of power supply and demand between the electricity consumers and level power supply and demand, with respect to the batteries of the electric vehicles on the above information, and outputs the preset charge/discharge commands to the respective electricity consumers; and
a charge/discharge controller that is provided to each of the electricity consumers and implements charge/discharge controls on the batteries according to the charge/discharge commands entered from the charge/discharge command setting device,wherein a usable capacity of a battery entered from an electricity consumer is determined based on a difference between a maximum capacity of the battery and a capacity required to drive the electric vehicle as desired by a user.

Abstract
The invention judges a total power supply/demand condition of the electricity consumers 2 as a whole according to an individual power supply/demand condition of electricity consumers 2, judges a total usable capacity of all batteries 17 according to a usable capacity of the batteries 17 of electric vehicles 10 parked at electricity consumers 2, obtains required charge/discharge amounts of all the batteries 17 according to a result of comparison of the total power supply/demand condition of the electricity consumers 2 as a whole with the total usable capacity of all the batteries 17, subjects the batteries 17 to charge/discharge controls according to the required charge/discharge amounts, the power supply/demand conditions of the electricity consumers 2, and the usable capacities of the batteries.
