<Connection of engine generator 1>
Next, the connection of the engine generator 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
The engine generator 1 is connected to a commercial power source P, an emergency load La, and an instantaneous voltage drop (hereinafter, instantaneous drop) compensation load Lb. The engine generator 1 includes an engine E, a generator G, a power storage device 60 having an uninterruptible function, electromagnetic contactors 75 and 75, and a power failure detector 64. When the power failure detector 64 detects a power failure, the engine generator 1 switches the power supply from the commercial power source P to the power generator G by switching the electromagnetic contactors 75 and 75, and the emergency load La and the instantaneous drop. Electric power is supplied to the compensation load Lb.

  The emergency load La is a load that allows a power failure or a voltage drop for about 10 to 40 seconds. The emergency load La corresponds to a lighting fixture, an air conditioning facility, or the like. The instantaneous drop compensation load Lb is a load that does not allow even an instantaneous voltage drop. The instantaneous drop compensation load Lb corresponds to a personal computer, a bank ATM, or the like.

  The power storage device 60 includes a path 61 from the power source side that is the commercial power supply P or the generator G to the load side that is the instantaneous voltage compensation load Lb, a path 63 that bypasses the path 61, and a path 62 that extends from the EDLC 13 to the path 61. It is equipped with. The path 61 connects the circuit breaker 19, the high-speed semiconductor switch 68, and the circuit breaker 20 in series in this order from the power supply side to the load side. In the path 62, the bidirectional power converter 66, the transformer 24, and the circuit breaker 21 are connected in series in this order from the EDLC 13 toward the load side, and the high-speed semiconductor switch 68 and the circuit breaker 20 in the path 61 are connected. Connected between. The path 63 is provided outside the power storage device 60 and is connected to the load side from the circuit breaker 20 via the circuit breaker 18 from the power supply side to the load side.

  The power storage device 60 includes the EDLCs 13 and 13 and a power storage control device 16 as a control unit that controls power supply and charge / discharge of the EDLCs 13 and 13. The power storage control device 16 includes a bidirectional power converter 66, a high-speed The semiconductor switch 68 and the circuit breakers 18 to 21 are connected. When the power storage control device 16 detects the instantaneous power drop of the path 61 by the high-speed semiconductor switch 68, the bidirectional power converter 66 supplies the power supply direction of the path 62 from the EDLC 13 to the instantaneous drop compensation load Lb. Has a switching function.

The power supply method of the engine generator 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows four power supply methods of the engine generator 1 such as commercial power supply, EDLC power supply, generator power supply, and commercial power supply (during maintenance).
Usually, the power feeding method is commercial power feeding. In the commercial power supply, the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the commercial power supply side is closed and the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the engine generator 1 side is opened (the connection between the engine E and the generator G and the emergency load La is disconnected), Electric power is supplied from the commercial power source P to the emergency load La. Further, as the commercial power supply, the power storage control device 16 opens the circuit breakers 18 and 21 and closes the circuit breakers 19 and 20, and supplies power from the commercial power supply P to the voltage sag compensation load Lb via the path 61. . At this time, the power storage device 60 does not perform the charging / power feeding operation, but may turn on the circuit breaker 21 and charge the EDLC 13 from the commercial power supply P via the paths 61 and 62.

  When a power failure occurs or when the voltage is lower than the allowable low voltage, the power supply method is changed from commercial power supply to EDLC power supply. When the power storage control device 16 detects an instantaneous power drop in the path 61 by the high-speed semiconductor switch 68 as EDLC power feeding, the bidirectional power converter 66 changes the power supply direction of the path 62 from the EDLC 13 to the instantaneous compensation load Lb. In order to supply electric power, the circuit breaker 19 is opened and the circuit breakers 20 and 21 are closed.

  Next, when the power failure detector 64 detects a power drop later than the high-speed semiconductor switch 68, the power supply method is changed from EDLC power supply to generator power supply. In generator feeding, the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the commercial power supply side is opened, the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the engine generator 1 side is closed, and the engine E and the generator G and the emergency load La are connected. Power is supplied to the emergency load La. In the generator power supply, the power storage control device 16 closes the circuit breakers 19, 20, and 21, and supplies electric power from the generator G to the instantaneous drop compensation load Lb via the path 61 by driving the engine E. Further, the power storage control device 16 charges the EDLC 13 from the generator G via the paths 61 and 62.

  When maintenance is performed on power storage device 60, the power supply method is commercial power supply (during maintenance). In commercial power supply (maintenance), the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the commercial power supply side is closed and the electromagnetic contactor 75 on the engine generator 1 side is opened, and power is supplied from the commercial power supply P to the emergency load La. The power storage control device 16 closes the circuit breaker 18, opens the circuit breakers 19, 20, and 21, supplies power from the commercial power source to the voltage sag compensation load Lb via the path 63, and supplies power to the power storage device 60. To prevent the flow.

By configuring in this way, even when there is a power failure, the engine generator 1 performs the EDLC power supply before the generator power supply as an uninterruptible function, so that the power failure detector 64 detects the power failure and the engine While E is activated, the power storage device 60 can supply power to the instantaneous drop compensation load Lb. In this way, even when a power failure occurs, power is always supplied to the instantaneous drop compensation load Lb.
Furthermore, the power storage device 60 is also provided with a path (not shown) that bypasses the junction of the high-speed semiconductor switch 68 and the path 61 and the path 62 on the load side of the circuit breaker 20 and connects to the power source side of the circuit breaker 21. It becomes an electric power supply path at the time of failure of the electrical storage device 60 or overvoltage of commercial power.
