Abstract

To ensure the electricity storage amount of a power storage device in preparation for the peak period of power consumption when supplying power to a plurality of devices, a power management apparatus includes a controller that controls the plurality of devices that receive a distribution of total power supplied from the power storage device and another power supply, an acquirer that acquires the remaining electric energy of the power storage device, and a determiner that determines whether the remaining electric energy of the power storage device is not more than a first predetermined value. If the remaining electric energy of the power storage device is not more than the first predetermined value, the controller controls the plurality of devices such that the power from the other power supply is distributed to the power storage device.
