Original Abstract Submitted
An energy management system is disclosed. In the system, a mode identification unit identifies whether a microgrid is in a grid connection mode or in an isolated operation mode. A prediction unit predicts, during the grid connection mode, an amount of demand for electric power in the microgrid and an output amount of renewable energy. The prediction is performed for a case where the grid connection mode is continued and for a case where the grid connection mode is switched to the isolated operation mode. A planning unit creates a facility operation plan for the microgrid to be applied to the grid connection mode and the isolated operation mode. A display I/F unit displays, on a display device in the grid connection mode, operation information representing operation of the microgrid during the isolated operation mode.
