ENERGY APPLICATION SYSTEM, ENERGY APPLICATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An energy application system according to one embodiment of the present invention has an acquisition unit, a prediction unit, and a supply and demand control unit. The acquisition unit acquires information supplied by an unspecified user, the information including current weather conditions and predicted future weather conditions, obtained via a network, inside and outside a management area, and/or condition patterns of the social environment inside and outside the management area. The prediction unit analyzes and evaluates the demand and supply of energy based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and predicts the future demand amount for and/or the power generation amount of energy inside the management area. The supply and demand control unit controls the supply/demand balance of energy inside the management area on the basis of the result predicted by the prediction unit.
