POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18453075 titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
A VGI system is a system where electric power is exchanged between a power grid of an electric power utility company and a BEV, and includes multiple BEVs, EVSE, and a management server that manages the exchange of electric power.
- Specific EVSE available to a specific vehicle among BEVs, with the specific vehicle permanently permitted to use the EVSE.
- Management server can temporarily permit use of the specific EVSE by a non-specific vehicle different from the specific vehicle, on condition that the non-specific vehicle exchanges electric power with the electric power utility company.
- Management server can grant an incentive to a user of the non-specific vehicle or a manager of the specific EVSE, on condition that the non-specific vehicle has exchanged electric power with the electric power utility company.

Original Abstract Submitted
A VGI system is a system in which electric power is exchanged between a power grid of an electric power utility company and a BEV, and includes a plurality of BEVs, EVSE, and a management server that manages exchange of electric power. The EVSE includes specific EVSE available to a specific vehicle among BEVs, the specific vehicle being permanently permitted to use the EVSE. The management server performs processing for temporarily permitting use of the specific EVSE by a non-specific vehicle different from the specific vehicle on condition that the non-specific vehicle uses the specific EVSE to exchange electric power with the electric power utility company and performs processing for granting an incentive to a user of the non-specific vehicle or a manager of the specific EVSE on condition that the non-specific vehicle has exchanged electric power with the electric power utility company.
