Abstract: A power system includes: a storage battery; a water electrolyzer; a fuel cell that generates electricity using hydrogen supplied from a hydrogen reservoir that stores hydrogen generated by the water electrolyzer; a detector that detects whether there is a person in a building; and a controller that performs at least one of first control and second control. The first control determines a priority between the storage battery and the water electrolyzer, to which electric power is supplied from a power generation device using renewable energy, based on information detected by the detector. The second control determines a priority between the storage battery and the fuel cell, from which electric power is supplied to a power load provided in the building, based on the information detected by the detector.

Abstract: A power supply system includes: a hydrogen generation device that uses electric power to generate hydrogen; a hydrogen storage device that stores hydrogen generated by the hydrogen generation device; a fuel cell system that uses hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage device to generate electric power; a power storage device; and a control device executing at least one of first control and second control based on an electricity expense, the first control controlling a first ratio between electric power to be supplied from a natural energy power generation device to the hydrogen generation device and electric power to be supplied from the natural energy power generation device to the power storage device, the second control controlling a second ratio between electric power to be supplied from the power storage device to a load and electric power to be supplied from the fuel cell system to the load.

Abstract: A hydrogen system includes: a generator which generates hydrogen-containing gas; a storage which stores the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the generator; a first gas passage which connects the generator and the storage; a housing which houses the generator, the storage and the first gas passage; a second gas passage in which the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the first gas passage to an outside of the housing flows; a first valve provided to the second gas passage; a third gas passage in which the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the storage to the outside of the housing flows; a second valve provided to the third gas passage; and a controller which opens at least one of the first valve and the second valve.

Abstract: A hydrogen system including: a hydrogen production apparatus that produces hydrogen; a hydrogen storage apparatus that stores produced hydrogen; a first flow path, wherein hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen production apparatus flows into the hydrogen storage apparatus through the first flow path; a second flow path, wherein hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen storage apparatus flows into a hydrogen-using apparatus through the second flow path; a casing that houses the hydrogen production apparatus, the hydrogen storage apparatus, the first flow path and at least part of the second flow path; a third flow path, wherein hydrogen discharged from at least one of the hydrogen production apparatus, the hydrogen storage apparatus, the first flow path and the at least part of the second flow path flows outside the casing through the third flow path; a first valve provided in the third flow path; and a controller that opens the first valve.
