First Claim
1. A power accommodation system comprising:
- a plurality of consumer management apparatuses forming an autonomously controlled grid; and
a power management apparatus that accommodates power among the consumer management apparatuses, wherein the power management apparatus comprises;
a management information storage unit that stores information related to at least one of first and second conditions in such a manner that the at least one condition is associated with each of the consumer management apparatuses, the first condition being a condition under which each of the consumer management apparatuses receives power, the second condition being a condition under which each of the consumer management apparatuses supplies power,a power control unit that supplies or receives power to or from the consumer management apparatuses; and
an information control unit that controls the consumer management apparatuses and the power control unit,when the information control unit detects that a first consumer management apparatus is operating in the first condition, the information control unit requests a second consumer management apparatus operating in the second condition to supply power,the power control unit supplies power supplied from the second consumer management apparatus to the first consumer management apparatus,the consumer management apparatuses each compriseat least one of a distributed power supply that generates power and a load that consumes power, anda controller that controls the distributed power supply, andthe controller controls power supply to the power management apparatus based on a request from the information control unit and received power from the power control unit.

Abstract
A power management apparatus (120) includes management information storage unit (121) capable of storing a condition under which each consumer management apparatus (100) receives power (first condition) and a condition under which each consumer management apparatus (100) supplies power (second condition), power control unit (123) for supplying or received power to or from the consumer management apparatuses (110), and information control unit (122) for controlling the consumer management apparatus (110) and power control unit (123). Each consumer management apparatus (110) includes a distributed power supply (111), a load (112), and control unit (113) that controls the distributed power supply 112. When the information control unit (122) detects that one consumer management apparatus (110) has activated the first condition, it requests another consumer management apparatus (100) activating the second condition to supply power and supplies the power to the first consumer management apparatus (110) via the power control unit (123).

7. A method for accommodating power used in a power accommodation system, the system comprising a plurality of consumer management apparatuses forming an autonomously controlled grid and a power management apparatus that accommodates power among the consumer management apparatuses, the method comprising:
-
detecting, by an information control unit of the power management apparatus, that a first consumer management apparatus is operating in a first condition which is a condition under which each of the consumer management apparatuses receives power; requesting, by the information control unit of the power management apparatus, a second consumer management apparatus operating in the second condition to supply power when the information control unit detects that the first consumer management apparatus is operating in a first condition, wherein the second operating condition is a condition under which each of the consumer management apparatuses supplies power; and receiving, by power control unit of the power management apparatus, the power from the second consumer management apparatus and supplying the power to the first consumer management apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
