Abstract
An electric power leveling controller includes an information acquisition unit that acquires information of electric energy consumption from a power consuming device consuming electric energy from the power source and electric energy charged into a power storage device, a storage unit that stores a specific threshold value for each power storage device, and a control unit that causes a first power consuming device to be power-supplied by the power source, causing the power storage device corresponding to the first power consuming device to be charged with a difference between the specific threshold value and the electric energy consumption, causing the power source to supply to a second power consuming device electric energy corresponding to the specific threshold, and causing the power storage device corresponding to the second power consuming device to discharge to the second power consuming device the difference between the electric energy consumption and the specific threshold value.
