1. An air-conditioning system comprising:
a refrigerant circuit configured to perform a refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant circuit connecting a compressor, a utilization-side heat exchanger that performs air conditioning of an indoor space, and a thermal storage heat exchanger,
the air-conditioning system being configured to execute a first operation in accordance with a reduction command to reduce commercial power consumption in a whole of the air-conditioning system, the first operation allowing the utilization-side heat exchanger to perform air conditioning using the thermal storage heat exchanger as a heat source, and
the air-conditioning system including a power reduction section configured to perform a first control in synchronization with timing of a start of the first operation, the first control making the commercial power consumption in the whole of the air-conditioning system equal to or lower than a first value,
the power reduction section including
the compressor, and
an electronic controller configured to control, in the first control, the compressor such that the commercial power consumption in the whole of the air-conditioning system is made equal to or lower than the first value,
in the first control, the electronic controller being configured to control the compressor such that an air-conditioning capacity of the utilization-side heat exchanger is brought to be equal to a required capacity while making the commercial power consumption equal to or lower than the first value.
