Abstract:
A battery control device controlling an operation of a battery connected to a power system includes detection means that detects battery-related information that shows a state of the battery, or a voltage of an interconnection point of the power system and the battery, first communication means that transmits a detection result of the detection means to an external device, and receives operation control information to control the operation of the battery from the external device, and control means that controls the operation of the battery, based on a state of the power system and the operation control information received by the first communication means.
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of a power grid becoming unstable due to a sharp increase in demand for electric power, the present invention provides a power control system to control the supply of electric power to a load or a storage battery in which the time period for supplying electric power is regulated. A power control system (101) of the present invention includes a receiving means (102) for acquiring power supply information including the amount of electric power to be supplied to other loads or storage batteries and a time period to supply electric power and, a determining means (105) for determining a time period to supply electric power to the load or storage battery based on the power supply information. Supplying electric power supply to the load or storage battery is performed in the time period determined by the determining means, so as to prevent timing congestion for supplying electric power.
Abstract:
An energy management system and an energy management method enable an improvement of the balance between power supply and demand. A storage battery (52) is connected to a power line (42) that transmits outside power. A storage battery controller (54) receives a control signal indicating a reduced use period during which the consumption of the outside power by a consumer apparatus (43) connected to the power line (42) is to be reduced, acquires an index value that has a correlation with the demand for outside power, and on the basis of the control signal and the index value, adjusts the amount of charging/discharging of the storage battery (52).
