Abstract

This invention provides a power consumption estimation system, power consumption estimation device, power consumption estimation method, and program that can accurately determine the power consumption of other vehicles based on information on vehicles whose power consumption is known. [Solution] The control unit 11 of the power consumption estimation device 10 includes a data acquisition unit 111 and a power saving estimation unit 113. The data acquisition unit 111 acquires a reference power consumption measured by a measuring device of the new train, acquires the first rated output value of the new train, and acquires the second rated output value of the target train. The power saving estimation unit 113 estimates the power consumption of the target train by multiplying the reference power consumption by the ratio of the second rated output value to the first rated output value.
