    Abstract: A power management device includes a control unit that controls a converter capable of bidirectionally converting between an external bus voltage and an internal bus voltage in a first power feeding system. When an amount of stored electric power of the first power feeding system is less than a first storage threshold value, the control unit sets a target value of the external bus voltage to a first power reception target value corresponding to a first transmission power value in a first power transmission request transmitted to an upper power management device. When the amount of stored electric power exceeds a second storage threshold value, the control unit sets the target value of the external bus voltage to a first power transmission target value corresponding to a second transmission power value in a second power transmission request received from a second power feeding system.

    Abstract: A power management device includes: a first determination unit that determines whether or not an execution condition for executing cell balancing for equalizing states of charge of a plurality of battery cells included in a storage battery connected to a direct current (DC) bus via a converter is satisfied; and a control unit that performs cell balancing execution control for causing a battery management device managing the storage battery to execute the cell balancing when the execution condition is satisfied. The control unit changes a target voltage of the converter so that a state of charge of the storage battery becomes a state in which the battery management device starts the cell balancing in the cell balancing execution control.

    Abstract: A DC power supply system includes: nodes to connect to a DC bus and constitute a DC grid with the bus; a power management apparatus that manages the power demand of the entire grid; and a starter device that makes the nodes start up and connect to the bus one by one in an order in a state where the bus is down to start up the entire grid. The starter device supplies start-up power through a power supply line to start up each node. The starter device diagnoses nodes to be diagnosed selected from among the nodes before supply of the power to determine the abnormality from a response with respect to a diagnostic signal supplied to the nodes through the start-up power supply line. When the node diagnosed is determined to be normal, the starter device supplies the start-up power thereto and connects it to the bus.

    Abstract: A power management device includes a control unit that switches an operation mode of a power feeding system by controlling a converter capable of bidirectionally converting between an internal bus voltage and an external bus voltage. The control unit sets the power feeding system to a power reception mode by setting a target value of the external bus voltage in the converter to a first target value when the amount of stored electric power is less than a first storage threshold value. The control unit sets the power feeding system to a power transmission mode by setting the target value to a second target value that is larger than the first target value when the amount of stored electric power exceeds a second storage threshold value that is larger than the first storage threshold value and a measured value of the external bus voltage exceeds a transmission threshold value.

    Abstract: A power feeding system includes a direct current (DC) bus for supplying DC power, a renewable energy power generation device connected to the DC bus, a first converter connected to the DC bus and converting a bus voltage supplied to the DC bus into a load voltage supplied to a load device, a storage battery, a second converter provided between the storage battery and the DC bus and capable of bidirectionally converting the bus voltage and a battery voltage of the storage battery, and a power management device controlling the second converter to charge and discharge the storage battery. The power management device controls the second converter to change the bus voltage based on difference power obtained by subtracting load power supplied to the load device from supply power supplied to the DC bus, the supply power including generated power generated by the renewable energy power generation device.
