Claim Text:
1. A power management device comprising: one or more processors configured to: calculate a first predicted amount of power demand, the first predicted amount of power demand representing a result of prediction of power demand of a plurality of power consumers on a future date and time; calculate a second predicted amount of power demand, the second predicted amount of power demand being calculated after the first predicted amount of power demand, and representing a result of prediction of power demand of the plurality of power consumers on the future date and time; determine a demand for prompting the plurality of power consumers to adjust an amount of power demand based on the first predicted amount of power demand and the second predicted amount of power demand; issue the determined demand to the plurality of power consumers; and receive acceptances of the issued demand from the plurality of power consumers, wherein the one or more processors are configured to end the reception of the acceptances at a point in time that the amount of power demand adjusted by the issued demands accepted by the plurality of power consumers reaches a difference between the first predicted amount of power demand and the second predicted amount of power demand.
