Vehicles are connected to respective receptacles of houses and are capable
of generating commercial AC power to supply the generated electric power
to a power transmission line. The vehicles communicate with a management
server via the houses and the power transmission line. The vehicles
output to the management server such information items concerning the
vehicles as vehicle ID, amount of generated electric power and remaining
amount of fuel. When electric power shortage occurs, the management
server generates a start command and a power generation command for the
vehicles based on the information concerning the vehicles to output the
generated commands to the vehicles.
