ELECTRIC POWER INTERCHANGE METHOD, ELECTRIC POWER INTERCHANGE SYSTEM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538403 titled 'ELECTRIC POWER INTERCHANGE METHOD, ELECTRIC POWER INTERCHANGE SYSTEM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves managing electric power supply and demand conditions of consumers through aggregators, creating operation plans for electric-powered vehicles to interchange power between consumers, and transmitting these plans.

  • Electric power supply and demand conditions of consumers are monitored by aggregators.
  • Operation plans for electric-powered vehicles are created based on detected deficits or surpluses in power supply and demand.
  • Power can be interchanged between consumers to address deficits or surpluses.
  • Plans are transmitted to relevant parties for implementation.

Original Abstract Submitted

The method includes obtaining first information including electric power supply and demand conditions of one or more first consumers managed by a first aggregator; obtaining second information including electric power supply and demand conditions of one or more second consumers managed by a second aggregator; when a deficit or surplus in the electric power supply and demand is detected in the one or more first consumers based on the first information, creating an operation plan of the electric-powered vehicle based on the first information and the second information, the moving plan enabling electric power to be interchanged between the one or more second consumers and, among the one or more first consumers, one target consumer detected to have the deficit or surplus and; and transmitting the operation plan created.
