1. An energy management system for managing charging/discharging of a storage battery of a vehicle equipped with the storage battery, comprising:
one or more processor to execute a program; and
one or more memory to store the program which, when it is executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform processes comprising:
managing a schedule for the vehicle to move from a first facility being a facility at which the storage battery is chargeable/dischargeable, to a second facility being a facility at which the storage battery is chargeable/dischargeable; and
creating a first charging/discharging plan being a charging/discharging plan for the storage battery at each of the first facility and the second facility, wherein
the creating the first charging/discharging plan creates the first charging/discharging plan with which the storage battery discharges at the first facility while leaving moving power being power for the vehicle to move from the first facility to the second facility,
the processes further comprising:
managing power unit price information being information including a power unit price at each time of the vehicle at the first facility and the second facility; and
electronically notifying the created first charging/discharging plan to a dedicated controllable application to charge/discharge the storage battery of the vehicle according to the created first charging/discharging plan, wherein
the creating the first charging/discharging plan creates the first charging/discharging plan with which a value obtained by subtracting a total discharging profit generated by a discharge of the storage battery at the first facility and the second facility from a total charging cost generated by a charge of the storage battery at the first facility and the second facility is minimized, based on the power unit price information.
