Claim 3:
4. A server that manages a plurality of power adjustment resources electrically connected to a power grid, wherein
the plurality of power adjustment resources include a plurality of fuel cell electric vehicles that each supplies electric power to the power grid,
the plurality of fuel cell electric vehicles each executes a refresh process that removes an oxide film formed on a platinum catalyst electrode of a fuel cell by causing the fuel cell to increase generated electric power to exceed prescribed electric power for a time period of approximately several hundred milliseconds to several seconds,
the server includes:
a processor; and
a memory that stores a program executed by the processor, and

the processor adjusts execution timings of the refresh process in the at least one fuel cell electric vehicle during power supply to the power grid such that the refresh process is repeated without any overlap of the execution timings in the plurality of fuel cell electric vehicles.
