The line 103 is a line representing the standard deviation of the power consumption in all the incidents that have occurred in the past.

Further, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the average power consumption and the standard deviation for each of the incident types. The usage record data 81 has an item of dispatch incident ID, and the incident data 71 has an item of incident ID and an item of incident type. Therefore, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 can classify the usage record data 81 for each incident type by classifying the usage record data 81 by the item of the dispatch incident ID. As a result, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 can calculate the average power consumption and the standard deviation for each of the incident types.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the power consumption managed by the rechargeable battery management system according to the embodiment. In FIG. 11, the horizontal axis direction represents the power consumption of the firefighter for each incident type, and the vertical axis direction represents the frequency. Line 111 is a line connecting the frequencies of power consumption of firefighters in the incident type of house fire. The line 112 is a line connecting the frequencies of power consumption of firefighters in the incident type of factory fire. Line 113 is a line connecting the frequencies of power consumption of firefighters in the incident type of forest fire. Line 1
Reference numeral 14 is a line connecting the frequencies of power consumption of firefighters in the incident type of commercial facility fire.

For example, the average power consumption of all incident types that occurred in the past is 200 m.
It is Ah, and the average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire is 300m.
Let it be Ah. In this case, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 sets the basic value indicating the influence of the incident type of commercial facility fire on the power consumption.
(Basic value showing the effect of the incident type of commercial facility fire on power consumption)
= (Average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire) / (Average power consumption in all incident types that occurred in the past)
= 300/200
= 1.5
And calculate.

Note that the milliamp-hour (mAh) is a unit of electric charge, not a unit of electric power.
However, in the field of rechargeable batteries, it is common practice to express the charge amount in milliamp-hours (mAh). Although the output voltage of the rechargeable battery is not strictly constant, if it is considered to be substantially constant, the value at milliamp-hour (mAh) and the value of electric energy are directly proportional to each other. Therefore, the value at milliamp-hours (mAh) can be used as a value indicating the amount of electric power.

Further, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 considers the influence of the standard deviation of the power consumption in the incident type. In the embodiment, a safety factor is set in consideration of the influence of the standard deviation of the power consumption in the incident type. The safety factor is a value indicating how much margin is to be provided when calculating the predicted power consumption, and is a fixed value set by the operator. The safety factor is exemplified by 2.0, but the present disclosure is not limited to this.

The standard deviation of power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire is 300mA.
It is assumed that it is h. Earlier, it was assumed that the average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire is 300 mAh. The ratio of the standard deviation of the power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire to the average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire is 1.0. Therefore, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 determines the influence value of the standard deviation of the power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire.
(Effect value due to standard deviation of power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire)
= (Ratio of the standard deviation of power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire to the average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire) + (safety factor)
× (Standard deviation of power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire) / (Average power consumption in the incident type of commercial facility fire)
= 1.0 + 2.0 × 300/300
= 1.0 + 2.0
= 3.0
And calculate.

As a result, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 sets the first coefficient based on the incident type of commercial facility fire.
(First coefficient based on the incident type of commercial facility fire)
= (Basic value showing the effect of the incident type of commercial facility fire on the average power consumption) × (Effect value of standard deviation in the incident type of commercial facility fire)
= 1.5 x 3.0
= 4.5
And calculate.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the first coefficient for each of the incident types such as house fire, factory fire and forest fire, as in the case of the incident type of commercial facility fire.
The maximum value among a plurality of calculated first coefficients may be adopted.

Specifically, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 classifies the places where incidents occur into four, in descending order of population density: city center, urban area, suburbs, and other places. The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 may set a plurality of specific values of the population density as a plurality of boundary values and classify the incident occurrence location by the plurality of boundary values.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the average power consumption and the standard deviation at each of the incident occurrence locations. The usage record data 81 has a dispatch incident ID item, and the incident data 71 has an incident ID item and an incident occurrence location item. Therefore, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 uses the usage record data 81.
By classifying by the item of dispatch incident ID, the usage record data 81 can be classified for each of the incident occurrence locations. As a result, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 can calculate the average power consumption and the standard deviation at each of the incident occurrence locations.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the electric energy managed by the rechargeable battery management system according to the embodiment. In FIG. 12, the horizontal axis direction represents the total power consumption of firefighters at each incident occurrence location, and the vertical axis direction represents the frequency.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the second coefficient based on the location of the incident in the same manner as the first coefficient based on the incident type. For example, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 sets a basic value indicating the influence of the incident occurrence location on the power consumption, which is the central part of the city.
(Basic value showing the effect of the location of an incident on power consumption, which is the central part of the city)
= (Average power consumption at the place where the incident occurred in the city center) / (Average power consumption at the place where all the incidents occurred in the past)
And calculate.

Further, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 determines the influence value of the standard deviation of the power consumption in the place where the incident occurs, which is the central part of the city.
(Effect value of standard deviation of power consumption in the center of the city where an incident occurs)
= (Ratio of the standard deviation of power consumption at the location of the incident in the city center to the average power consumption at the location of the incident in the city center) + (safety factor)
× (Standard deviation of power consumption at the incident occurrence location in the city center) / (Average power consumption at the incident occurrence location in the city center)
And calculate.

As a result, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 sets the second coefficient based on the location of the incident, which is the central part of the city.
(The second coefficient based on the location of the incident, which is the central part of the city)
= (Basic value indicating the effect of the incident occurrence location in the city center on the average power consumption) × (Influence value due to standard deviation in the incident occurrence location in the city center)
And calculate.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the second coefficient for each of the incident occurrence locations, such as urban areas, suburbs, and other locations, in the same manner as the incident occurrence locations in the city center, and a plurality of calculated incident locations. The maximum value in the second coefficient may be adopted. Alternatively, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 may adopt a second coefficient based on the incident occurrence location designated by the administrator in the city center, urban area, suburbs and other places.

Referring to FIG. 9 again, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the third coefficient based on the role of the firefighter in step S204. The third coefficient based on the role of the firefighter is a value representing the influence of the role of the firefighter on the power consumption. The third coefficient based on the role of the firefighter is calculated based on the power consumption of the dispatched firefighter in each of the roles of the firefighter in the incidents that occurred in the past.

In the embodiment, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 classifies the roles of firefighters into engine workers, commanders, rescue workers, and fire extinguishing workers. It should be noted that these roles are examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the average power consumption and the standard deviation in each of the roles of the firefighter. The usage record data 81 has an item of a role at the time of use. Therefore, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 classifies the usage record data 81 by the item of the role at the time of use.
The usage record data 81 can be classified according to each role of the firefighter. As a result, the rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 can calculate the average power consumption and the standard deviation in each of the roles of the firefighter.

In FIG. 13, the horizontal axis direction represents the power consumption of the firefighter for each role of the firefighter, and the vertical axis direction represents the frequency. Line 131 is a line connecting the frequencies of power consumption of firefighters in the role of firefighters, who are engine workers. Line 132 is a line connecting the frequency of power consumption of the firefighter in the role of the firefighter called the commander. Line 133 is a line connecting the frequency of power consumption of the firefighter in the role of the firefighter as a rescue worker. Line 134 is a line connecting the frequency of power consumption of the firefighter in the role of the firefighter, that is, the fire extinguishing worker.

The rechargeable battery replacement management unit 42 calculates the third coefficient based on the role of the firefighter in the same manner as the first coefficient based on the incident type and the second coefficient based on the place where the incident occurred.
