LOAD CONTROLLER, PROGRAM, LOAD CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A load control apparatus (1) is provided with a measurement unit (11) which measures the consumed electric power in load devices (4) and the generated electric power by a power generator (2), and a control unit (10) which controls an operation of hot water supply device (41) on the basis of the measurement result by the measurement unit (11). The control unit (10) predicts the surplus electric power generated in a target period in the future, in a prediction unit (12). A determination unit (13) compares electric power and time necessary after the hot water supply device (41) starts a predetermined process and before completing with the prediction result by the prediction unit (12), determines propriety that the hot water supply device (41) executes the abovementioned process with the surplus electric power in the target period. An execution unit (14) controls an operation of the hot water supply device (41) such that when determination unit (13) determines that the abovementioned process can be executed, transmitting a control signal to the hot water supply device (41) causes the abovementioned process to be started. This can prevent a disadvantage due to the surplus electric power being run out after the load device starts a predetermined process with the surplus electric power and before completing the process.
