摘要:
A power control system controls electric devices so as to consume a power generated by a self-generated power facility using a natural energy, which is provided with a surplus power detection unit that detects the surplus portion of power generated by the self-generated power facility, and a device control unit that controls the operation of a plurality of electric devices. When the surplus power detection unit detects the surplus power, the device control unit controls one or more of a plurality of electric devices to perform predetermined operations so as to consume the surplus power.

A power distribution system includes a direct current (DC) power source and an appliance selection unit for selecting one or more appliances that can be operated with an available power of the DC power source. The power distribution system further includes a display unit for displaying results of selection by the appliance selection unit.

In an energy storage system, power from at least one of a solar cell, a commercial AC power source, and a storage battery is supplied to load devices. In the daytime, under the condition that an amount of power generated by the solar cell is less than an amount of power consumed by the load device, the discharge from the storage battery to the load device is permitted or prohibited if the charge level of the storage battery is higher or is not higher than the reference charge level. The discharge from the storage battery which makes the charge level of the storage battery lower than the reference level is permitted at night.

Disclosed is an electric power supply system which has: a common power source which stores and supplies a power via a local power grid; and a distributed power source which supplies a power to buildings and a surplus to the common power source. The electric power supply system further includes a first power meter measuring the amount of power supplied from a commercial power source, a second power meter measuring the amount of power received from and supplied to the common power source via the local power grid, and a distribution control device which distributes a power from the common power source to the area based on the amounts of power as measured by the first power meter and the second power meter.

A controller includes a method storage part, an execution part and a selection part. The method storage part is configured to store reduction methods for reducing amounts of electric powers to be consumed, which are made to correspond to branch circuits or load apparatuses individually. The execution part is configured to execute limitation of the amounts of electric powers to be consumed. The selection part is configured to make a user select the reduction methods to be stored in the method storage part. The execution part is configured to present, in response to a reduction request, to the user, the reduction methods according to a correspondence table stored in the method storage part. The selection part is configured to make the user select, from a plurality of predetermined reduction methods, the reduction methods to be stored in the method storage part and made to correspond to the branch circuits or the load apparatuses individually.

A demand measurement unit measures demand power of a load, and a power generation measurement unit measures power generated by a solar cell. A threshold storage unit stores a discharge control threshold value for remaining amount (amount of remaining power) of a storage cell, which is used to determine whether to discharge the storage cell. When the demand power is larger than the generated power, a command unit creates a control command to control discharge of the storage cell based on a result of comparison between the remaining amount of the storage cell and the discharge control threshold value and transmits the control command to a control unit of a power conditioner. In this event, when the remaining amount of the storage cell is larger than the discharge control threshold value, the command unit gives a control command to discharge the storage cell. A threshold setting unit variably sets a value of the discharge control threshold value, and updates the discharge control threshold value in the threshold storage unit every time the value is changed.

The power management system includes: a power management device for managing power to be used by multiple power loads; and a large power-using power load. The large power-using power load is defined as a power load which shows a power consumption larger than a difference between allowable power and an upper limit power smaller than the allowable power when operating at a maximum power consumption. The power management device calculates remaining available power available for the large power-using power load, from the total power consumption of the multiple power loads and the upper limit power, and notifies the remaining available power to the large power-using power load. The large power-using power load starts to operate under a condition that its power consumption is equal to or less than the remaining available power notified by the power management device.
摘要:
In a management device, a state determination table in a first storage portion indicates correspondence relationships in which target achievement levels are respectively associated with combinations with division periods and ranges of amount of power. An action table in a second storage portion indicates correspondence relationships with operations for making an execution portion perform and the target achievement levels. A first extraction portion extracts, from the state determination table, a target achievement level corresponding to a combination with a division period including a date acquired by a date acquisition portion and a range of amount of power including the amount of consumed power acquired by a power acquisition portion. A second extraction portion extracts, from the action table, an operation corresponding to the target achievement level extracted by the first extraction portion. An execution control portion controls the execution portion to perform the operation extracted by the second extraction portion.
