Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A server comprising a processor configured to:

acquire electric power supply information indicating electric energy that is suppliable by each of a plurality of vehicles to outside;

set electric energy to be supplied to a facility by each of the vehicles based on the electric power supply information of each of the vehicles;

cause each of the vehicles to supply electric power based on the electric energy;

acquire vehicle model information indicating a vehicle model of each of the vehicles;

identify the vehicle provided with an electric power generation function using predetermined fuel from among the vehicles based on the vehicle model information;

acquire a remaining amount of the predetermined fuel from the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function;

calculate an electric power generation amount that is able to be generated for each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function based on the remaining amount of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function and the vehicle model information of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function; and

set the electric energy based on the remaining amount of the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function, the electric power generation amount, the vehicle model information, and the electric power supply information.

2. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the processor sets the electric energy based on the electric power generation amount and the electric power supply information such that an electric power supply time during which each of the vehicles supplies electric power is within a predetermined time.

3. The server according to claim 2 , wherein the processor:

sets a refueling order by a supply vehicle that refuels each of the vehicles with the fuel based on the remaining amount of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function; and

outputs the refueling order to each of the vehicles.

4. The server according to claim 3 , wherein the processor:

calculates a consumption rate of the fuel in the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function based on the vehicle model information and the electric power supply information; and

sets the refueling order based on the consumption rate and the remaining amount.

5. The server according to claim 4 , wherein a route order in which the supply vehicle travels is set based on an importance set to the facility.

6. A control device comprising a processor configured to:

acquire electric power supply information indicating electric energy that is suppliable by each of a plurality of vehicles to outside;

set electric energy to be supplied to a facility by each of the vehicles based on the electric power supply information of each of the vehicles;

cause each of the vehicles to supply electric power based on the electric energy;

acquire vehicle model information indicating a vehicle model of each of the vehicles;

identify the vehicle provided with an electric power generation function using predetermined fuel from among the vehicles based on the vehicle model information;

acquire a remaining amount of the predetermined fuel from the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function;

calculate an electric power generation amount that is able to be generated for each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function based on the remaining amount of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function and the vehicle model information of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function; and

set the electric energy based on the remaining amount of the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function, the electric power generation amount, the vehicle model information, and the electric power supply information.

7. The control device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor sets the electric energy based on the electric power generation amount and the electric power supply information such that an electric power supply time during which each of the vehicles supplies electric power is within a predetermined time.

8. The control device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor:

sets a refueling order by a supply vehicle that refuels each of the vehicles with the fuel based on the remaining amount of each of the vehicles provided with the electric power generation function; and

outputs the refueling order to each of the vehicles.

9. The control device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor:

calculates a consumption rate of the fuel in the vehicle provided with the electric power generation function based on the vehicle model information and the electric power supply information; and

sets the refueling order based on the consumption rate and the remaining amount.

10. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein a route order in which the supply vehicle travels is set based on an importance set to the facility.

11. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a processor to:

acquire electric power supply information indicating electric energy that is suppliable by each of a plurality of vehicles to outside;

set electric energy to be supplied to a facility by each of the vehicles based on the electric power supply information of each of the vehicles;

cause each of the vehicles to supply electric power based on the electric energy;
