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 supply apparatus includes: an air path having an inlet and an outlet; a fan that is disposed in the air path and produces a flow of air from the inlet to the outlet; a first pipe having an end that forms a first supply port through which to supply hydrogen gas to the air path; a flow control device that is attached to the first pipe and adjusts a flow rate of the hydrogen gas; and a hydrogen gas sensor, disposed downstream of the fan or the end in a direction of flow of the air that detects a concentration of the hydrogen gas in the air path, where the end is disposed between the fan and the outlet or between the fan and the inlet in the air path.
