A notebook-sized personal computer representing consumption-side hardware sends electric power data, which indicates an electric power (including voltage, alternating or direct current, cycle and wave shape) suited to the personal computer, to an electric power supply system through a communication line. In the system, the electric power data of the personal computer is analyzed in an allotter, and the allotter sends electric power data, which indicates an electric power required in the allotter, to an electric power supply adapter through a communication line. The electric power supply adapter converts an electric power received from an electric power company into another electric power matching with the electric power data of the allotter and supplies the converted electric power to the allotter through an electric power line. In the allotter, this converted electric power and an electric power supplied from a battery is once converted into another electric power, and this electric power is converted into an electric power matching with the electric power data of the personal computer. The electric power finally obtained in the allotter is supplied to the personal computer through an electric power line. Therefore, the electric power supply system can be widely used for various types of personal computers having different rated electric powers.
