Abstract

Provided is a charging and discharging management device which includes an information acquisition unit which acquires schedule information on movement of a user of an electric vehicle; a power consumption calculation unit which calculates a movement distance of the electric vehicle on the basis of the schedule information, and calculates a necessary electric energy required for moving the electric vehicle from the movement distance; and a charging schedule creation unit which creates a charging schedule for the plurality of electric vehicles so that the total of charging power of the plurality of electric vehicles that are simultaneously charged does not exceed a predetermined threshold value, on the basis of the required electric energy of each electric vehicle calculated by the power consumption calculation unit

Claims (45)

1 . A charging and discharging management device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:

acquiring schedule information on movement of a user of an electric vehicle;

calculating a movement distance of the electric vehicle on the basis of the schedule information;

calculating necessary electric energy required for moving the electric vehicle from the movement distance; and

creating a charging schedule for a plurality of electric vehicles so that the total of charging power of the plurality of electric vehicles that are simultaneously charged does not exceed a predetermined threshold value, on the basis of the required electric energy of each electric vehicle.

2 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises creating the charging schedule so that charging of the electric vehicle is completed before a departure time of the electric vehicle.

3 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.

4 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

correcting the charging amount of the electric vehicle of a certain user on the basis of a use history of the electric vehicle of the user.

5 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises determining an electric vehicle in which a charging amount calculated from the required electric energy and a residual capacity of a storage battery becomes a negative value as an electric vehicle to be discharged.

6 . A method for controlling charging and discharging, comprising:

acquiring schedule information on movement of a user of an electric vehicle;

calculating a movement distance of the electric vehicle on the basis of the schedule information, and calculating necessary electric energy required for moving the electric vehicle from the movement distance; and

creating a charging schedule for a plurality of electric vehicles so that the total of charging power of the plurality of electric vehicles that are simultaneously charged does not exceed a predetermined threshold value, on the basis of the required electric energy of each electric vehicle.

7 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to execute operations comprising:

acquiring schedule information on movement of a user of an electric vehicle;

calculating a movement distance of the electric vehicle on the basis of the schedule information;

calculating necessary electric energy required for moving the electric vehicle from the movement distance; and

creating a charging schedule for a plurality of electric vehicles so that the total of charging power of the plurality of electric vehicles that are simultaneously charged does not exceed a predetermined threshold value, on the basis of the required electric energy of each electric vehicle.

8 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 2 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.

9 . The charging and discharging management device according to claim 2 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

correcting the charging amount of the electric vehicle of a certain user on the basis of a use history of the electric vehicle of the user.

10 . The method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises creating the charging schedule so that charging of the electric vehicle is completed before a departure time of the electric vehicle.

11 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.

12 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

correcting the charging amount of the electric vehicle of a certain user on the basis of a use history of the electric vehicle of the user.

13 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises determining an electric vehicle in which a charging amount calculated from the required electric energy and a residual capacity of a storage battery becomes a negative value as an electric vehicle to be discharged.

14 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.

15 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

correcting the charging amount of the electric vehicle of a certain user on the basis of a use history of the electric vehicle of the user.

16 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises creating the charging schedule so that charging of the electric vehicle is completed before a departure time of the electric vehicle.

17 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , the computer-executable program instructions when executed further causing the computer system to execute operations comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.

18 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , the computer-executable program instructions when executed further causing the computer system to execute operations comprising:

correcting the charging amount of the electric vehicle of a certain user on the basis of a use history of the electric vehicle of the user.

19 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein the creating a charging schedule further comprises determining an electric vehicle in which a charging amount calculated from the required electric energy and a residual capacity of a storage battery becomes a negative value as an electric vehicle to be discharged.

20 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 16 , the computer-executable program instructions when executed further causing the computer system to execute operations comprising:

transmitting an alert to a user of the electric vehicle that is not able to complete charging before the departure time.
