Claim 14:
15. A control method for a hydrogen system that produces hydrogen by first power generated by a renewable-energy power generator and second power supplied from a power grid, the method comprising:
a first setting step of setting, in a demand-response request period in advance, a baseline indicating a first power consumption amount of the second power to be consumed when there is no request of demand response;
a second setting step of setting an actual power consumption amount obtained by reducing a reduced power amount from the first power consumption amount in advance, when the demand response for reducing the first power consumption amount in the request period is requested; and
a controlling step of controlling a power amount of the second power in the request period based on the actual power consumption amount, wherein
the second setting step sets the actual power consumption amount in a range in which the hydrogen system is able to achieve a target amount of hydrogen to be produced in a first period that includes the request period and is longer than the request period.
