On the other hand, the high-speed charging mode charges the storage battery 62 in a short time with a larger supply power than in the low-speed charging mode.

  The switching between the fast charge mode and the slow charge mode may be performed, for example, by the user operating the input device 56 to designate the fast charge mode or the slow charge mode. By this user operation, the designated mode is displayed on the display device 55. In this case, the charger / discharger 53 receives power of voltage 200V, outputs a low power DC voltage for low speed charging in the low speed charging mode, and high power for high speed charging in the high speed charging mode. The configuration may be such that a direct current voltage is output. Alternatively, the charger / discharger 53 may be configured to enter the high-speed charging mode when the input plug is connected to the 200V outlet 42 and to enter the low-speed charging mode when connected to the 100V outlet 43.

  Furthermore, the charger / discharger 53 can switch the output power in a plurality of stages. Specifically, the output power can be switched according to the low speed charge mode and the high speed charge mode, and the output power can be switched in a plurality of stages even in the high speed charge mode.

  The control device 54 controls the operation of the charger / discharger 53, such as the charging operation for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 by the charger / discharger 53 and the charging operation for the storage battery installed in the house by discharging the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3. To do. Further, the control device 54 is configured to appropriately charge the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode when the high-speed charging mode is selected in a state where the contract power (usage power upper limit value) is set in the house. In addition, the power supply Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the house is controlled.

That is, when the measured value of the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is Pv1 (measured value of the Pv power monitor 52) and the measured value of the supplied power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment is Ph1 (Ph power monitor 51), The input power Pin to the switchboard 12 is
Pin = Ph1 + Pv1
It becomes. Moreover, in the house provided with the electric vehicle charging device 2, when the contract power Pc is set, when the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 exceeds the contract power Pc, the first wiring breaker 21 is interrupted, Power is not supplied. Or, by exceeding the contract power, the charge system changes and the electricity charge becomes high. Therefore,
Pc> Pin
It is necessary to. That is, the upper limit value of the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is set to a predetermined value that is smaller than the contract power Pc.

  Therefore, when the high-speed charging mode is set, the control device 54 performs control so that the supplied power Ph to the house-installed electrical device is reduced. Thereby, even under the condition of Pc> Pin, the storage battery 62 can be charged in the fast charge mode.

  Next, the configuration of the electric vehicle charging device 2 that performs the above operation will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an electric vehicle charging system including the electric vehicle charging device 2 illustrated in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control device 54 includes a control unit 71, a storage device 72, and a communication unit 73. The communication unit 73 may be a remote controller (hereinafter simply referred to as a remote controller) that transmits and receives control signals and the like to and from the house-installed electrical equipment group 82.

  Connected to the control device 54 are a display device 55, an input device 56, a Ph power monitor 51, a Pv power monitor 52, a second wiring breaker group 81, a residential electrical equipment group 82, an outlet group 83, and a charger / discharger 53. ing. When charging the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3, the electric vehicle system 61 mounted on the electric vehicle 3 is connected to the charger / discharger 53.

  The second wiring breaker group 81 represents each of the plurality of second wiring breakers 23 shown in FIG. Each second wiring breaker 23 included in the second wiring breaker group 81 includes a control unit 101, a break driving device 102, and a display device 103. The shut-off drive device 102 performs an operation for shutting off the second wiring breaker 23. The cutoff driving device 102 performs a cutoff operation under the control of the control unit 101 in addition to a normal cutoff operation when the current value flowing through the second wiring breaker 23 exceeds a specified value.

  The house-installed electrical equipment group 82 includes a washing / drying machine 31, an illumination 32, an air conditioner 33, an audio equipment 34, a personal computer 35, a television 36, etc. connected to the plurality of second wiring breakers 23 shown in FIG. Indicates. Each home-installed electrical device includes a communication unit 91, a control unit 92, a storage device 93, and a display device 94.

  The outlet group 83 indicates each of the plurality of 200V outlets 42 and 100V outlets 43 shown in FIG. Each outlet included in the outlet group 83 includes a control unit 111 and a display device 112.

  The electric vehicle system 61 is mounted on the electric vehicle 3 and includes a storage battery 62 and a battery remaining amount measuring unit 63. The battery remaining amount measuring unit 63 measures the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62.

  User input for various settings for the electric vehicle charging device 2 is performed from the input device 56. The control unit 71 of the control device 54 causes the setting made by the input device 56 to be stored in the storage device 72 and displayed on the display device 55.

(Power reduction setting)
Specifically, when the high-speed charging mode is set by a user operation on the input device 56, the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 and the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment and the electric vehicle Is set to be distributed to the charging power Pv.

  Hereinafter, the distribution power to the supplied power Ph is denoted as Phset1, and the distribution power to the charging power Pv is denoted as charging power Pvset1. When the supply power Phset1 is set, the house-installed electrical device can use the input power Pin with the supply power Phset1 as the allowable upper limit value. On the other hand, when the charging power Pvset1 is set, the charger / discharger 53 switches the output power by the control unit 71, and outputs power corresponding to the supplied charging power Pvset1.

  In addition, in order to execute the above-described distribution setting, power consumption reduction setting is performed for each house-installed electric device included in the house-installed electric device group 82. This setting content is stored in the storage device 72.

For example, when the maximum value of the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 that is allowed in view of the contract power Pc is 10 kW, 10 kW of the input power Pin is supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment in a state other than the high-speed charging mode. 7 kW is allocated to the electric power Ph, and 3 to the charging electric power Pv to the electric vehicle.
kW is distributed.

  In contrast, in the fast charge mode, the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical device is reduced according to the user's setting, and 5 kW is distributed as the power supply Ph (supply power Phset1) to the house-installed electrical device. 5 kW is allocated as the charging power Pv (charging power Pvset1) for the automobile. The distribution of the input power Pin in the high-speed charging mode to the supplied power Ph and the charging power Pv can be set in advance by the user operating the input device 56.

  It is not essential to distribute the supply power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle in a state other than the fast charge mode, and the set charge power Pv (charge power Pvset1) is set in the fast charge mode. Any configuration may be employed as long as the power supply Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment is reduced so as to be secured, and that amount is distributed to the charge power Pv supplied to the electric vehicle.

  In addition, it is possible to set a device to be used as an out-of-reduction target or a power consumed at a minimum for the home-installed electrical device for the home-installed electrical device. In this case, even in the high-speed charging mode, the charging power can be set in the power obtained by subtracting the power that cannot be reduced from the contract power. In the high-speed charging mode, control is performed by the outlet unit, the breaker unit, and the home electric appliance so that the device cannot be activated or set to increase the power consumption of the device.

(Content of power reduction)
In the high-speed charging mode, when reducing the electric power Ph supplied to the house-installed electric device, the predetermined electric power may be set to be uniformly reduced for each house-installed electric device. The uniform reduction is limited to household appliances that can be reduced. For example, the temperature setting of the air conditioner, the brightness of the television, the brightness of the LED illumination, the output of the IH, etc. are uniformly reduced by approximately 10% or 20%. Or you may set so that the electric power supplied only to some housing installation electrical equipment may be reduced. For example, in the house-installed electric device shown in FIG. 1, the electric appliances targeted for power reduction can be the lighting 32, the air conditioner 33, the audio device 34, and the television 36. In this case, with respect to the normal setting, the lighting 32 is darkened, the air conditioning 33 is increased in cooling temperature or the heating temperature is decreased, the audio device 34 is decreased in volume, and the television 36 is set in luminance and volume. And so on.

  In this case, in response to a request from the input device 56 operated by the user, the control unit 71 causes the display device 55 to display a user interface for setting a power reduction target electrical device and the content of the power reduction. You may be prompted to input settings.

  As described above, when the power reduction target electrical device and the power reduction content are set by the user's operation on the input device 56, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 stores the setting content as the power reduction content information in the storage device 72. Remember me. In addition, the control unit 71 transmits the power reduction content information from the communication unit 73 to the electric power reduction target electric device in the house-installed electric device group 82.

  In the power reduction target electrical device, when the power reduction content information is transmitted from the communication unit 73, the power reduction content information is received by the communication unit 91. In addition, the control unit 92 of the power reduction target electrical device causes the storage device 93 to store the power reduction content information received by the communication unit 91. The communication between the communication unit 73 and the communication unit 91 may be either wireless communication or wired communication.

  As described above, when the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 receives an instruction to charge the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode in a state where the power reduction content information is taken into the electric power reduction target electric device, the control apparatus 54 performs high-speed operation. Information indicating that charging of the electric vehicle 3 is started in the charging mode is transmitted from the communication unit 73 to the electric power reduction target electric device in the house-installed electric device group 82. In the power reduction target electrical device, when the communication unit 91 receives the information, the control unit 92 reads the power reduction content information from the storage device 93, and the power consumption is reduced according to the power reduction content indicated by the power reduction content information. As described above, the operation of the electric appliance targeted for power reduction is controlled.

  Also, in the fast charge mode, the second wiring breaker 23 (breaker) or the outlet is provided with a cutoff switch so that a new electrical device is not inserted into the outlet and operated, and the cutoff switch is turned off. Further, it may be possible to prevent an increase in power consumption of electrical equipment in the home. In this case, the target of the control for turning off the cutoff switch is the outlet other than the outlet that can supply power with respect to the remaining power consumption in the home and that has the high priority set by the user, or the first outlet. This is a two-wire circuit breaker 23.

  In addition, the structure which provided the interruption | blocking switch (1st FET302, 2ndFET303) in the 2nd wiring breaker 23 is later mentioned based on FIG.

  In this case, for example, if the power capacity of each second wiring breaker 23 is 1.5 kW and the power that can be consumed by the electrical equipment in the home is 1.5 kW or less, the second wiring that is not supplying power is used. You may make it turn off the said interruption | blocking switch with which the circuit breaker 23 or the electrical outlet was equipped. Further, for example, when the charging power setting for the electric vehicle is 5 kW, and only 1.5 kW of power is consumed in the home electric device, 2 of the second wiring breaker 23 having a capacity of 1.5 kW is used. One of the second circuit breaker 23 may be turned off while the other one is in a usable state. In this case, the user can set the priority order of which breaker and each outlet are made available. In addition, the outlet and the breaker are preferably provided with a display function to indicate that they cannot be used due to interruption or restriction (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

(Addition of charging power Pv)
Next, the configuration of the electric vehicle charging device 2 corresponding to a case where an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input from the input device 56 by a user operation in the high-speed charging mode will be described.

  The request for adding the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input by operating the input device 56 when the user desires to further shorten the charging time. The input of the additional request for the charging power Pv is any time point after the high speed charging mode is selected and before the charging of the electric vehicle 3 is started or during the charging in the high speed charging mode. May be done.

  The value after the addition of the charging power Pv when the request for adding the charging power Pv is input, that is, the distribution of the input power Pin 10 kW is, for example, 3 kW as the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical equipment, and the charging power to the electric vehicle Pvset2 is 7 kW. The input of the distribution setting may be performed at any time point before the charging power Pv addition request is input or after the charging power Pv addition request is input. When the distribution setting is input from the input device 56, the control unit 71 stores the setting content in the storage device 72.

(Additional power reduction content)
When a request for adding charging power Pv is input, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 installs the house when the supply power Ph1 to the home-installed electrical device at that time is a request for adding charging power Pv. When the supply power Phset2 to the electric equipment is exceeded, an additional power reduction request is made to the house-installed electric equipment group 82. This additional power reduction request instructs further reduction of the power consumption of the house-installed electrical equipment group 82.

  The request for adding the charging power Pv is a request for increasing the charging power Pvset1 to the charging power Pvset2. In addition, when the supply power Ph1 exceeds the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical equipment when the request for adding the charge power Pv is made, it is input when the charge power Pvset2 is set without reducing the supply power Ph1. This is a case where the power Pin exceeds the upper limit value.

  In response to a request for additional power reduction in the high-speed charging mode, when reducing the power supply Ph to the home-installed electric equipment, as in the case where the fast-charge mode is initially set, Further, it may be set so as to reduce the predetermined percentage uniformly. Alternatively, it is possible to set the priority order of the electric appliances subject to additional power reduction for each electric appliance installed in the household electric appliance group 82 and sequentially reduce the supply power from the highest priority. Good. In addition, when the power consumption of the home-installed electric appliance is uniformly reduced, the reduction amount of the predetermined power consumption is the case where the supply power Phset1 to the home-installed electric appliance in the high-speed charging mode and the further power additional reduction request are met. This corresponds to the difference from the electric power Phset2 supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment.

  For example, when the lighting 32, the air conditioner 33, the audio device 34, and the television 36 are selected as the electric power reduction target electric devices in the residential electric device shown in FIG. 1, these are further selected as the electric power reduction target electric devices. In this case, in the additional power reduction that uniformly reduces the power consumption by a predetermined percentage, settings are made so that the power consumption is further reduced. In this case, the reduction in power consumption may be to turn off the power supply of the electric equipment subject to additional power reduction.

  Further, when the priority order as the electric power reduction target electric device is set by the input from the user input device 56, for example, the air conditioner 33, the audio device 34, the television 36, and the illumination 32 are set in descending order. . The power reduction content in this case also includes a setting to turn off the power, and further reduces the power consumption.

  When performing settings related to additional power reduction, the control unit 71 displays a user interface for setting the additional power reduction target electric device and the power reduction content in response to a request from the input device 56 operated by the user. It may be displayed on the device 55 to prompt the user to input settings.

  As described above, when the electric power addition reduction target electrical device and the power addition reduction content are set by the user's operation on the input device 56, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 uses the setting content as the power addition reduction content information. The data is stored in the storage device 72.

  In the state where the high-speed charging mode is set, the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 monitors the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle by the Ph power monitor 51 and the Pv power monitor 52. Yes. In this state, when a request for additional power reduction is required, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 does not set the priority order as the power additional reduction target electrical device for the power additional reduction target electrical device. Instruct the power consumption to be reduced by a predetermined percentage.

In addition, when a power addition reduction request is required, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 sets the priority as the power addition reduction target electrical device, and sets the power addition reduction target with the highest priority. Read additional power reduction content information for electrical equipment (residential electrical equipment). Then, the read power addition reduction content information is transmitted to the electric power reduction target electrical device with the highest priority.

  The electric power addition reduction target electrical device that has received the electric power addition reduction content information stores the received electric power addition reduction content information in the storage device 93. The control unit 92 reads the power addition reduction content information from the storage device 93 and controls the operation of the electric power reduction target electrical device so that the power consumption is reduced according to the power reduction content indicated by the power addition reduction content information. . As a result, the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electric device is reduced by the amount of power consumption reduction for the electric device subject to additional power reduction of the first priority, and the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle is increased accordingly. Is possible.

  In the control unit 71 of the control device 54, the supply power Ph <b> 1 to the electrical equipment installed in the house is added by reducing the power consumption of the electrical equipment subject to additional power reduction at the highest priority from the value indicated by the Ph power monitor 51. It is determined whether or not a reduction request set value (supply power Phset2) has been reached (additional charge power Pv to the electric vehicle has been secured). As a result, if the set value (supply power Phset2) of the power addition reduction request has not been reached, the power addition reduction target electric device with the second highest priority is similarly instructed to reduce power consumption. This process is repeated for the electric power reduction object to be further reduced in order of priority until the electric power Ph supplied to the electric appliance installed in the house reaches the set value (supply power Phset2) of the electric power addition reduction request.

(Display of fast charge mode status)
In the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, the display device 103, the display device 94, and the display device 112 display a message to that effect during charging of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode. It is supposed to be. The display device 103, the display device 94, and the display device 112 in this case may be, for example, LED lamps that are turned on while the electric vehicle 3 is being charged in the fast charge mode. Thereby, it is known that the power consumption of the home appliance is reduced, the power is cut off, and the like, and the user can be relieved without worrying about the abnormality of the device or the abnormality of the wiring.

  FIG. 4 is a front view showing a second wiring breaker 23 provided with an LED lamp (notification means) 121 as the display device 103 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a 200V outlet 42 or a 100V outlet 43 provided with the LED lamp 121 as the display device 112 shown in FIG.

  The LED lamp 121 of the second wiring breaker 23 is turned on when the electric vehicle 3 is being charged in the high-speed charging mode to that effect from the control unit 71 of the control device 54 in the second wiring breaker group 81. The LED lamp 121 (display device 103) is turned on by the control unit 101. Similarly, the LED lamp 121 of the 200V outlet 42 or the 100V outlet 43 is turned on when the electric vehicle 3 is being charged in the high-speed charging mode. The information is transmitted to the control unit 111, and the control unit 111 turns on the LED lamp 121 (display device 112). In addition, the case where the house installation electric equipment included in the house installation electric equipment group 82 includes the LED lamp 121 as the display device 94 is not illustrated. However, the LED lamp 121 can be similarly provided to each home-installed electric device, and the LED lamp 121 can be controlled in the same manner.

The notification that the user is in the fast charge mode state is not limited to the display by the LED lamp 121 but may be performed by, for example, a notification sound or a sound from a speaker.

(Fast charge remaining time display)
Further, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, the display device 103, the display device 94, and the display device 112 are charged at high speed while the electric vehicle 3 is being charged in the high-speed charging mode. The remaining time of the mode may be displayed. In this case, the display device 103, the display device 94, and the display device 112 display the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode as a clock while charging the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode.

  FIG. 6 is a front view showing the second wiring breaker 23 provided with a time display device (time display means) 122 as the display device 103 shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the television 36 including the time display device 122 as the display device 94 shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a remote control 37 of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 including the time display device 122 as the display device 94 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a 200V outlet 42 or a 100V outlet 43 provided with a time display device 122 as the display device 112 shown in FIG.

  When displaying the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode on each time display device 122 described above, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 calculates the predicted completion time in the high-speed charging mode, and sets the second wiring breaker group 81, the house installation This is transmitted to the electrical equipment group 82 and the outlet group 83. Alternatively, the control unit 71 counts down the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode, and transmits the remaining time to the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric device group 82, and the outlet group 83 for each countdown.

  When the predicted completion time is received from the control unit 71, the control unit 101, the control unit 92, and the control unit 111 of the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical device group 82, and the outlet group 83 are controlled by a clock function provided by them. Then, the estimated completion time is counted down and displayed on the time display device 122. Alternatively, when the remaining time of the high-speed charging mode that is counted down from the control unit 71 is received, the control unit 101, the control unit 92, and the control unit 111 of the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical device group 82, and the outlet group 83 Causes the time display device 122 to display the remaining time received. In the latter case, the control unit 71 may constantly calculate and update the estimated completion time.

  When calculating the predicted completion time of the fast charging mode, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 acquires the remaining power amount information, the charging completion state information, and the charging power Pv information for the electric vehicle of the storage battery 62, and based on these information To calculate the estimated completion time. Regarding the acquisition of each information, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 acquires the remaining power amount information of the storage battery 62 from the battery remaining amount measurement unit 63 of the electric vehicle system 61. The charge completion state information is set in advance by, for example, a user operation on the input device 56 such that the completion of charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode is set to 80% or 60% of the full charge. get. The charging power Pv information for the electric vehicle is preset as charging power Pv information for the electric vehicle in the high-speed charging mode, and is acquired from the storage device 72.

  The notification of the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode to the user is not limited to the display by the time display device 122, and may be performed by, for example, a notification sound or sound from a speaker.

(Charge schedule)
Moreover, in the electric vehicle charging device 2, as described above, the charging completion (upper limit value of the charging amount) of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode is set to 80% or 60% with respect to the full charge, for example, to the user input device 56 A charging schedule can be set by operation. In this case, for example, the charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode is set to 60% of the full charge.
%, And the charging schedule can be set such that the remaining 40% until full charge is charged in the low-speed charge mode.

  When such a charging schedule is set by the user from the input device 56, the charging schedule is stored in the storage device 72. When the control unit 71 receives an instruction to charge the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3, the control unit 71 determines the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62 from the battery remaining amount measurement unit 63 based on the charging schedule stored in the storage device 72. While referencing, the operation of the charger / discharger 53 is controlled so that the high-speed charging mode and the low-speed charging mode are appropriately switched.

(Fast charge mode timer setting)
Moreover, in the electric vehicle charging device 2, charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode may be performed only for a predetermined time set by the user. Also in this case, for example, the charging schedule is set by the user's operation on the input device 56. For example, when the user inputs a setting for charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode for a predetermined time from the input device 56 as the charging schedule, the setting is stored in the storage device 72. In this case, the predetermined time may be set by designating the charging start time and end time.

  As described above, when the predetermined time is set for the charging in the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 71 performs the charging in the high-speed charging mode for the set predetermined time based on the setting stored in the storage device 72. The operation of the charger / discharger 53 is controlled so as to be performed.

  In this case, the charging start time may be displayed on the time display device 122 before the start of charging in the fast charging mode, and the end time of the fast charging mode or the remaining time may be displayed during charging in the fast charging mode. .

(Explanation of basic operation, high-speed charging → addition of charging power Pv, display during high-speed charging, display of remaining time)
In the above configuration, the operation of the electric vehicle charging device 2 will be described below. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a basic operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 following the operation of FIG.

  When the electric vehicle charging device 2 charges the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3, the user turns on the electric vehicle charging device 2. When the power is turned on, the count value n is reset to zero. Next, the charging cable provided in the charger / discharger 53 is connected to the electric vehicle 3 by the user. Thereby, the charger / discharger 53 and the storage battery 62 are connected. In addition, communication between the electric vehicle system 61 and the electric vehicle charging device 2 is possible. It is preferable to connect the storage battery 62 and the charger / discharger 53 after confirming their normal operation and safety by communication.

  In this state, when the electric vehicle charging device 2 receives a charging instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S11), the electric vehicle charging device 2 determines whether the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode or the low-speed charging mode (S12).

  In S12, if the set charging mode is the low speed charging mode, charging in the low speed charging mode is started (S13), and if the charging is completed (S14), the process is terminated.

On the other hand, in S12, if the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode, the stored power in the storage device 72 is referred to, and the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment for the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is referred to. Setting of power and charging power Pv to electric vehicle (Supply power Phset
1, the charging power Pvset1) is confirmed, and the presence / absence of setting of the power reduction target electric device is determined (S15).

  If the electric power reduction target electric device is not set as a result of the determination in S15, the power consumption of each house-installed electric device is uniformly reduced by a predetermined percentage (S16).

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S15, if the distribution setting (supply power Phset1, charging power Pvset1) for the input power Pin and the electric device targeted for power reduction are set, according to the contents of the setting, to the house-installed electric device The input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is distributed so that the supplied power Ph is reduced. In this case, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 instructs the electric power reduction target electric devices of the house-installed electric device group 82 to reduce power consumption (S17). Thereby, in the electric appliance targeted for power reduction, power consumption is reduced according to the preset setting in the case of the high-speed charging mode.

  After the process of S16 or S17, the control unit 71 sets the count value n to n + 1 (S18), and the supply power Ph1 to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value of the supply power Ph. It is determined whether or not there is (S19). The allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution setting value (supply power Phset1) of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin in the fast charge mode.

  As a result of the determination in S19, if the supply power Ph1 is larger than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1), it is determined whether or not the count value n is 2 or less (S20). In this case, the value 2 of n is not limited to 2, but may be set to an appropriate value of 2 or more.

  As a result of the determination in S20, if the count value n is 2 or less, the process returns to S15, and the process of S16 or S17 and the process of S18 are repeated. In the process of S16 or S17 performed again, the reduction amount of the supplied power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment may be the same as the previous value in the sense of confirming the execution result of the process, but slightly larger than the previous value. It is preferable to do.

  After that, if the supply power Ph1 is larger than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1) in the determination in S19 and the count value n is larger than 2 in the determination in S20, the control unit 71 sets the house-installed electricity for the input power Pin. The display device 55 is caused to display a message prompting the user to reset the distribution of the supply power Ph to the device and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle.

  The above display is, for example, “The set value of the charging power Pv for the electric vehicle cannot be changed. Please reset the charging power Pv”. The resetting is intended to request the user to set the direction to decrease the charging power Pv. In addition to the above display, the display content may be notified to the user by voice.

  After the process of S21, the control unit 71 resets the charging power Pv by the user from the input device 56 (distribution of the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle for the input power Pin) (S22), and if there is no input for resetting the charging power Pv by the end of the predetermined time, the process ends. On the other hand, if there is an input for resetting the charging power Pv in S22, the process of S16 or S17 is performed based on the reset value.

  Thereafter, if the result of determination in S19 is that the supplied power Ph1 is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value, the control unit 71 resets the count value n to 0 (S41), and then in S23 of FIG. Charging to 62 is started.

  Here, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, during the charging of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode, that effect is displayed, for example, by turning on the LED lamp 121. In the case of the configuration, the LED lamp 121 is turned on.

  In addition, when the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83 are configured to display the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode while charging the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode, The time display device 122 displays the remaining time in the fast charge mode.

  In this case, as described above, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 calculates the completion prediction time based on the remaining power amount information of the storage battery 62, the charging completion state information, and the charging power Pv information for the electric vehicle, Two-wire circuit breaker group 81, house-installed electrical equipment group 82 and outlet group 83 Alternatively, the control unit 71 counts down the remaining time (predicted completion time) in the high-speed charging mode, and transmits the remaining time to the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric device group 82, and the outlet group 83 for each countdown. . In response to this, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode is displayed on the time display device 122.

  After starting charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S23, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines whether or not the user has input an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode from the input device 56 ( S24). If the result of this determination is that an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode has been input, a process for shifting to the low-speed charging mode is performed (S36), the count value n is reset to 0 (S37), and the process proceeds to S13. Charge in charge mode.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S24, if an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is not input, the control unit 71 determines whether or not an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input from the input device 56 ( S25). This determination may be made before the start of charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode.

  As a result of the determination in S25, if an additional request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is not input, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 continues the charging until the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed, and in the high-speed charging mode. If the charging is completed (S35), the process proceeds to S36, and the subsequent processes are performed. If charging in the high-speed charging mode is not completed in S35, the process returns to S24 and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S25, if an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines whether or not the charging power Pv can be added (S26). . In this determination, when the supply power Ph1 to the home-installed electrical device at that time exceeds the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical device when a request to add the charge power Pv is made, the addition of the charge power Pv is Determined impossible.

  For example, when the charging power Pv1 is 5 kW and the supply power Ph1 is 3.5 kW, and the charging power Pvset2 is 7 kW, the supply power Phset2 is 3 kW under the condition that the upper limit value of the input power Pin is 10 kW. In this case, since the supplied power Ph1 exceeds the supplied power Phset2, it is determined that the charging power Pv cannot be added. On the contrary, when Ph1 is 1 kW, since Ph1 is smaller than Phset2, it is determined that charging power Pv can be added.

The request for adding the charging power Pv is a request for increasing the charging power Pvset1 to the charging power Pvset2. In addition, when the supply power Ph1 exceeds the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical equipment when the request for adding the charge power Pv is made, it is input when the charge power Pvset2 is set without reducing the supply power Ph1. This is a case where the power Pin exceeds an upper limit value (for example, 10 kW).

  As a result of the determination in S26, if it is possible to add the charging power Pv, the charging power Pv is added without additionally reducing the power supply Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment (S27). That is, the charging power Pvset1 is switched to the charging power Pvset2 and is increased. Then, it progresses to S35 and performs the process after it.

  On the other hand, if it is not possible to add the charging power Pv as a result of the determination in S26, it is necessary to further reduce the power supply Ph to the house-installed electrical device. Therefore, the control unit 71 refers to the storage contents of the storage device 72 and whether or not the setting (designation) of the electric power reduction target electric device is performed for the residential electric device in the residential electric device group 82. Is determined (S28).

  As a result of the determination in S28, if the electric power reduction target electric device is not set, the power consumption of each electric device installed in the electric device group 82 is uniformly reduced by a predetermined percentage (S29).

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S28, if the setting of the electric power reduction target electric device is performed, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 performs the power in the order of priority set for the electric power addition reduction target electric device. Instructing additional reduction target electrical equipment (residential electrical equipment) to reduce power consumption. Thereby, the power consumption is additionally reduced in the electric power reduction target electric device.

  In this case, first, the electric power reduction target electric device with the highest priority is instructed to reduce the power consumption, and the electric power consumption is additionally reduced in the electric power reduction target with the highest priority (S30). ). In addition, regarding the said priority, the some electric equipment for electric power addition reduction reduction may be set to one priority (for example, priority order 1st).

  Next, after the process of S29 or S30, the control unit 71 sets the count value n to n + 1 (S31), and the supply power Ph1 to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is an allowable upper limit of the supply power Ph. It is determined whether or not the value is equal to or less than the value (S32). Here, the allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution set value (supply power Phset2) of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin when the charging power Pv is added in the fast charge mode.

  As a result of the determination in S32, if the supplied power Ph1 is larger than the allowable upper limit value (supplied power Phset2), it is determined whether or not the count value n is 2 or less (S33). In this case, the value 2 of n is not limited to 2, but may be set to an appropriate value of 2 or more.

  As a result of the determination in S33, if the count value n is 2 or less, the process returns to S28, and the process of S33 is repeated from the process of S29 or S30. In the process of S29 performed again, the amount of reduction in the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment may be the same as the previous value, but is preferably slightly larger than the previous value. Further, in the process of S30 performed again, the electric power reduction target is instructed to the electric power reduction target device with the second highest priority, and the electric power is added to the electric power reduction object electric device with the second priority. Reduced.

Next, in the determination of S32, if the supplied power Ph1 is equal to or lower than the allowable upper limit value (supplied power Phset2), the charging power Pv can be added, so the charging power Pv is added (S27). That is, the charging power Pvset1 is switched to the charging power Pvset2 and is increased. Then, it progresses to S35 and performs the process after it.

  On the other hand, if the supply power Ph1 is larger than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset2) in the determination of S32 and the count value n is larger than 2 in the determination of S33, the control unit 71 cannot add the charging power Pv. Is displayed on the display device 55. In addition to this, a display device that prompts the user to reset the input power Pin for the distribution of the power supply Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charge power Pv of the electric vehicle (supply power Phset2, charge power Pvset2) is displayed. 55.

  The resetting is intended to request the user to set the direction to decrease the charging power Pv. In addition to the above display, the display content may be notified to the user by voice.

  Next, the control unit 71 determines whether or not the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed in S35, and proceeds to S36 if the charging is completed, and returns to S24 if the charging is not completed. The subsequent processing is repeated.

  When the user changes the distribution (supply power Phset2, charge power Pvset2) between the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical device and the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle with respect to the input power Pin by the display in S34 The changed setting is stored in the storage device 72. Thereafter, the changed setting is reflected in the processing of S26 and S32.

  Here, the transition process to the low-speed charging mode in S36 will be described. In the electric vehicle charging device 2, when the charging mode for the storage battery 62 is switched from the high-speed charging mode (charging priority mode) to the low-speed charging mode (normal charging mode), the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle decreases. Therefore, the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical device can be returned to the state before the high-speed charging mode. Therefore, in the transition process to the low-speed charging mode, when the storage battery 62 reaches the full charge voltage in the high-speed charging mode and the charging is completed, the reduction control of the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electric device is not more than the contract power. The input power Pin is relaxed with the upper limit. The transition process to the low-speed charging mode is not limited to the charging completion state in the high-speed charging mode, but the timer end when the high-speed charging mode is executed by the timer setting or the high-speed charging mode by the user instruction from the input device 56 Even in the case of termination, the same operation is performed when switching from the high-speed charging mode to the low-speed charging mode (normal charging mode).

  Further, regarding the transition from the fast charge mode to the slow charge mode, in the fast charge mode, the full charge is set lower than the original full charge state of the storage battery 62 in order to prevent the overcharge of the storage battery 62. Yes. Therefore, in the electric vehicle charging device 2, after the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed, the charging in the low-speed charging mode is performed to charge the storage battery 62 to the original fully charged state.

  Charging in the low-speed charging mode (normal charging mode) is constant current-constant voltage control (CC-CV control) that is generally performed when charging a lithium ion battery or the like. For example, the charging current at a constant current corresponds to approximately 1 kW of charging power (3 A when the battery voltage is 333 V).

  In the constant voltage control, for example, the amount of charging current is controlled so that the voltage of the storage battery 62 does not exceed the full charge voltage. In the storage battery 62, the battery voltage increases as charging proceeds. For this reason, for example, when 350 V is a full charge voltage, the charging current is gradually decreased so as not to exceed 350 V. Since the storage battery 62 has an internal impedance, when the charging current decreases, the voltage drop due to the resistance decreases, and the battery voltage at the battery terminal decreases. In the constant voltage control, the charging operation is stopped when the charging current becomes small and becomes a predetermined current value or less (for example, 1 A or less).

(Explanation of operation when charging schedule is set)
Next, the operation of the electric vehicle charging device 2 when the charging schedule is set will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation when the charging schedule of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 shown in FIG. 1 is set.

  In FIG. 12, the operations of S51 and S52 correspond to the operations of S11 and S12 of FIG. 10, the operations of S53 and S54 correspond to the operations of S13 and S14 of FIG. 10, and S56 corresponds to the operations of S15 to FIG. This corresponds to the operation of S34 and the operation of S41 of FIG. 10, and S59 corresponds to the processing of S36 of FIG.

  In FIG. 12, when the charging instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 is received (S51), the electric vehicle charging device 2 determines whether the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode or the low-speed charging mode (S52).

  In S52, if the set charging mode is the low speed charging mode, charging is performed in the low speed charging mode (S53), and if the charging is completed (S54), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the set charging mode is the fast charging mode in S52, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 acquires the charging schedule stored in the storage device 72 (S55). This charging schedule is set in advance by the user operating the input device 56.

  Next, the control part 71 of the control apparatus 54 charges the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 by the battery remaining amount measurement part 63 based on the acquired charging schedule (S56).

  Thereafter, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines whether or not the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed (S57). If the charging is completed, the process of shifting to the low-speed charging mode is performed (S59). ), Proceeding to S53, charging is performed in the low-speed charging mode.

  Completion of charging in S57 is determined with reference to the charging schedule. For example, in the charging schedule, if the charging amount for the storage battery 62 is set as when the charging amount with respect to full charging reaches a predetermined percentage (for example, 80% or 60%), the charging amount of the storage battery 62 is When the condition is satisfied, charging is completed.

  In the charging schedule, when the charging time is set, or when the charging start time and end time are set, the charging is performed for the set time or the end time is reached. Sometimes charging is complete.

  In the charging schedule, for example, charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode is set to a predetermined percentage (for example, up to 60%) with respect to full charging, and the remaining% (for example, 40%) until full charging is charged in the low-speed charging mode. It is possible to make settings such as In this case, when the storage battery 62 is charged to a predetermined percentage with respect to full charge, the charging mode for the storage battery 62 is switched from the high-speed charging mode to the low-speed charging mode (S58).

  Thereby, the process of S53 and S54 is performed, and the process ends when the storage battery 62 is fully charged in the low-speed charge mode.

In the electric vehicle charging device 2 of the present embodiment, as described above, in the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode, the power supplied to the house-installed electrical device is reduced compared to the charging operation in the low-speed charging mode, The power supplied to the house-installed electrical device is controlled so that the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 increases. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately charge the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode under the condition where the power usage upper limit value, that is, the contract power is set.

  Further, in the high-speed charging mode, it is possible to reduce the supply power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and charge the charging power Pv at a high speed with a stable constant power without being affected by load fluctuations. Therefore, the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle can be reliably charged, and the charge capacity of the storage battery 62 can be easily measured with little error.

  Further, in the high-speed charging mode, the house-installed electric device is controlled so that the power consumption of the house-installed electric device connected to the distribution board 12 as the power receiving facility is suppressed. Therefore, for example, a flexible control can be performed with respect to the suppression of the power consumption of the electrical equipment installed in the house, such as setting an amount of suppression of the power consumption for each electric device targeted for power reduction.

  In addition, since the user can designate the electric device targeted for power reduction in the high-speed charging mode by operating the input device 56, an appropriate home-installed electric device is set as the electric device targeted for power reduction reflecting the user's wishes. can do.

  In addition, when a request for adding charging power Pv is input from the input device 56, the electric power addition target electric appliance is added according to the priority set in advance by the user until the charging power Pv reaches a value corresponding to the addition request. The electric power reduction target electric device is controlled so that the supplied power is reduced. Thereby, in the high-speed charging mode, when a request for adding the charging power Pv is generated, it is possible to perform control for reducing the power consumption for the electric equipment subject to additional power reduction in accordance with the priority order reflecting the user's wishes.

  Further, the charging operation in the fast charging mode can be executed at the execution time indicated by the setting information stored in the storage device 72. Thereby, the user operates the input device 56 to set the execution time of the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode, so that the electric vehicle charging device 2 performs high-speed charging only for a desired time, for example, a time when the electric vehicle 3 is not used. The storage battery can be charged in the mode.

  Moreover, the information which shows the remaining electric energy which changes with charge of the storage battery 62 is acquired from the electric vehicle 3, and the remaining electric energy of the storage battery 62 reached the value shown by the upper limit value information memorize | stored in the memory | storage device 72. In this case, it is possible to control to end the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode. Therefore, the user operates the input device 56 to set the upper limit value of the charge amount with respect to the full charge of the storage battery 62 so that the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62 becomes a desired amount. 2, the storage battery 62 can be charged.

  Moreover, since it is alert | reported by the LED lamp (notification means) 121 provided in the house installation electric equipment, the 2nd wiring breaker 23, the 200V outlet 42, and the 100V outlet 43 that it is the charge operation state by a high-speed charge mode, The user can easily know that the charging operation state is in the fast charge mode.

  In addition, the time display device (time display means) 122 provided in the house-installed electrical equipment, the second wiring breaker 23, the 200V outlet 42, and the 100V outlet 43 performs charging operation time in the high-speed charging mode and start of the charging operation. A time display relating to the charging operation in the fast charging mode, such as the time or the end time, is performed. Therefore, the user can easily know the time related to the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode by the time display device 122.

  Here, the configuration of the second wiring breaker 23 will be described. FIG. 19 is a circuit diagram showing a configuration of the second wiring breaker 23 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the second wiring breaker 23 includes a switch 301, a first FET (breaking circuit) 302, a second FET (breaking circuit) 303, a current detector 304, a current detection determination circuit 305, and a peeler 306. And an FET drive circuit (cut-off circuit) 307.

  In the second circuit breaker 23, first and second two power supply lines 308 and 309 pass. The input sides of the first and second power supply lines 308 and 309 are connected to the N line (neutral line) and the L1 line or the L2 line of the power supply line 41 passing through the distribution board 12. The output side is connected to a house-installed electrical device (home appliance). The first FET (cutoff circuit) 302 and the second FET (cutoff circuit) 303 are not arranged on the neutral line but are connected to the L1 line or the L2 line.

The switch 301 is provided on the first and second power supply lines 308 and 309 so that the first and second power supply lines 308 and 309 are cut off and conducted by an opening / closing operation. The first and second feeder lines 308 and 309 shown in FIG. 19 are the L1 line and the L2 line shown in FIG. 2, and the neutral line (earth) is connected without being cut off. The first FET 302 and the second FET 303 are provided in series with each other at a position downstream of the switch 301 (residential electrical equipment (home appliance) side) in one of the power feed lines, for example, the first power feed line 308. The current detector 304 is provided on the upstream side (distribution panel side) position of the switch 301 in any one of the feeder lines, for example, the first feeder line 308.

  The peeler 306 opens the switch 301. The opening / closing operation of the switch 301 can also be performed manually.

  The current detection determination circuit 305 controls the peeling device 306 to open the switch 301 when the amount of current flowing through the first feeder 308 detected by the current detector 304 is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount. To do. When the opening / closing operation of the switch 301 is performed, the first and second power supply lines 308 and 309 are cut off, and the power supply to the house-installed electrical equipment connected to the second wiring breaker 23 is cut off.

  The first FET 302 and the second FET 303 make the first power supply line 308 conductive / non-conductive by an on / off operation. In this case, when both the first FET 302 and the second FET 303 are turned on while the switch 301 is performing the closing operation, the first power supply line 308 becomes conductive. Further, when both the first FET 302 and the second FET 303 are turned off, the first power supply line 308 is turned off (cut off).

  The FET drive circuit 307 controls conduction and non-conduction of the first FET 302 and the second FET 303 based on a control signal (ON / OFF signal) from the control device 54.

  Therefore, the current detection determination circuit 305 and the FET drive circuit 307 correspond to the control unit 101 of the second wiring breaker group 81 shown in FIG. 3, and the first FET 302, the second FET 303, and the switch 301 correspond to the cutoff drive device 102. To do.

The configuration including the first FET 302, the second FET 303, and the FET drive circuit 307 illustrated in FIG. 19 may be provided in an outlet (the 200V outlet 42 and the 100V outlet 43 illustrated in FIG. 2). In that case, the outlet includes a power monitoring circuit including a current sensor and a voltage sensor. In addition, a communication function for notifying the control unit 71 of the power consumption for each outlet by receiving the power monitor value and transmitting it to the control unit 71 is provided. Thus, the control unit 71 performs control so as to cut off the power supply to the outlet when the power consumption is newly increased and the supplied power Ph exceeds the set value in the high-speed charging mode.

  As described above, in the high-speed charging mode, the outlet (200V outlet 42, 100V outlet 43) to which the house-installed electrical equipment is not connected, or the second wiring breaker 23 connected only to the outlet is used. The first FET 302 and the second FET 303 may be controlled to be turned off. This is a control for preventing a situation in which the power consumption of the electrical equipment installed in the house is increased by newly connecting an electrical device to a vacant outlet and supplying power from the outlet.

  In this case, the first FET 302 and the second FET 303 are turned off by the FET drive circuit 307 that has received a control signal for turning off from the control unit 71.

  In addition, the control part 71 can be turned off at the time of a high-speed charge mode as a vacant outlet when the power consumption is 0 by the information on the power consumption from an outlet. When the power consumption from the outlet is not 0, the home-installed electrical equipment is connected, so that it is not immediately turned off, and can be controlled to turn off when the supplied power Ph exceeds the set value. .

  Moreover, in the above embodiment, the example which interrupts | blocks for every outlet when the supply electric power Ph exceeded the setting value during the high-speed charge was shown. However, the charging power Pv is reduced so as not to exceed the contract power Pc, and the content that the high-speed charging power is not ensured is transmitted to the display device 55 of the electric vehicle charging device 2 so as to promote the reduction of the power consumption. Also good. In that case, the control unit 71 instructs the charger / discharger 53 to reduce the charging current value. By adopting such control, home appliances are not turned off without the user's knowledge, and even when the power consumption of the appliances temporarily increases, the appliances can be operated stably. Can do. The notification to the user is preferably performed not only by display on the display device 55 but also by alarm sound or voice. In this case, according to the alarm, the user can select and respond to whether to reduce the power consumption of the home appliance or to reduce the set value of the charging power Pv for the electric vehicle 3.

[Embodiment 2]
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment, in the high-speed charging mode, when the power supply Ph to the house-installed electric device is reduced, the power consumption of the individual house-installed electric device is not controlled, but the house install The second circuit breaker 23 to which the electric device is connected is cut off. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the electric vehicle charging device 2 in this case will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the distribution board 12 is provided with a plurality of second wiring circuit breakers 23, and for each second wiring circuit breaker 23, a washing / drying machine 31 as a house-installed electric device, an illumination 32, and an air conditioner 33. The audio device 34, the personal computer 35, and the television 36 are connected. The control signal of the control device 54 is input to each second wiring breaker 23, and each second wiring breaker 23 can be blocked by the control signal.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the control signal instructing the interruption of the second wiring breaker 23 from the control unit 71 of the control device 54 is the second wiring of any of the second wiring breaker groups 81. Input to the circuit breaker 23. In the second wiring breaker 23 to which the control signal is input, the control unit 101 receives the control signal from the control unit 71 and controls to drive the cutoff driving device 102. Thereby, the 2nd wiring breaker 23 is interrupted | blocked. Therefore, the power supply to the house-installed electrical equipment connected to the interrupted second wiring breaker 23 is interrupted.

  In the example of FIG. 1, a configuration in which one home-installed electrical device is connected to one second wiring breaker 23 is shown, but a plurality of home-installed electrical devices are connected to one second wiring breaker 23. May be connected.

(Content of power reduction)
As described above, when the high-speed charging mode is set by the user's operation on the input device 56, the reduction setting of the power supply Ph to the house-installed electrical device is performed. This setting content is stored in the storage device 72. Specifically, for example, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, in the high-speed charging mode, 5 kW is allocated to the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment, and 5 kW is allocated to the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle. .

  In the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment, in the high-speed charging mode, one of the second wiring breakers 23 of the second wiring breaker group 81 is used in order to reduce the electric power Ph supplied to the house-installed electric equipment. The second wiring breaker 23 is cut off. Thereby, the charging power Pv for the electric vehicle for the high-speed charging mode is secured, and the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 can be appropriately charged in the high-speed charging mode.

  The second wiring breaker to be interrupted that is interrupted in the fast charge mode is set by operating the input device 56 by the user. In this case, the user confirms which home-installed electrical equipment is connected to which second wiring breaker 23 and performs setting. In addition, the control part 71 respond | corresponds with the house installation electric equipment connected to the 2nd wiring breaker 23 and the 2nd wiring breaker 23, when the setting of the interruption | blocking 2nd wiring breaker is performed by the user. A user interface for indicating the relationship and designating the second wiring breaker to be interrupted may be displayed on the display device 55. In order to perform this display, the correspondence relationship between the second wiring breaker 23 and the home-installed electrical equipment connected to the second wiring breaker 23 is previously input from the input device 56 by the user and stored in the storage device 72. Is done.

  For example, in the plurality of second wiring breakers 23 shown in FIG. 1, each second wiring breaker 23 to which the air conditioner 33 and the audio device 34 are connected may be set as a second wiring breaker to be blocked.

(Addition of charging power Pv)
Next, the configuration of the electric vehicle charging device 2 corresponding to a case where an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input from the input device 56 by a user operation in the high-speed charging mode will be described.

  The request for adding the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input by operating the input device 56 when the user desires to further shorten the charging time. The input of the additional request for the charging power Pv is any time point after the high speed charging mode is selected and before the charging of the electric vehicle 3 is started or during the charging in the high speed charging mode. May be done.

  The additional amount of the charging power Pv when the request for adding the charging power Pv is input, that is, the distribution of the input power Pin 10 kW is, for example, 3 kW to the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment as in the above-described embodiment. The charging power Pv for the electric vehicle is 7 kW. The input of the distribution setting may be performed at any time point before the charging power Pv addition request is input or after the charging power Pv addition request is input. When the distribution setting is input from the input device 56, the control unit 71 stores the setting content in the storage device 72.

(Additional power reduction content)
When an additional request for charging power Pv is input, the electric power Ph to be supplied to the house-installed electrical device at that time is reduced according to a preset setting in accordance with the request for adding charge power Pv. When the supply power Ph is exceeded, that is, when the input power Pin exceeds the upper limit value, an additional reduction to the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment is required. In this case, in addition to the breaking target second wiring breaker, the additional breaking target second wiring breaker is blocked. In this case, the control part 71 of the control apparatus 54 cuts off sequentially from the thing with a high priority as an additional interruption | blocking object 2nd circuit breaker.

  The priority order of the additional circuit breaker second wiring breaker and the additional circuit breaker second wiring circuit breaker is set by the user operating the input device 56, and the setting content is stored in the storage device 72. For example, in the plurality of second wiring breakers 23 illustrated in FIG. 1, each second wiring breaker 23 to which the television 36 and the washing machine 31 are connected may be set as an additional breaking target second wiring breaker. . The priority order may be the order of the second wiring breaker 23 to which the television 36 is connected and the second wiring breaker 23 to which the washing machine 31 is connected.

  When making settings related to the additional wiring breaker second wiring breaker, the control unit 71 connects to the second wiring breaker 23 and the second wiring breaker 23 in response to a request from the input device 56 operated by the user. The display device 55 displays a user interface for indicating the correspondence relationship with the installed electrical equipment installed in the house, the already set second wiring breaker to be interrupted, and designating the additional second breaking circuit breaker You may make it make it.

  In the state where the high-speed charging mode is set, the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 monitors the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle by the Ph power monitor 51 and the Pv power monitor 52. Yes. In this state, if the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines that additional reduction of the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment is necessary, the control unit 71 shuts off the second wiring breaker that is the highest priority in the priority order. As a result, the electric power Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the house is reduced by the amount of power consumed by the electrical equipment installed in the house connected to the second circuit breaker subject to additional interruption of the highest priority, and the electricity The charging power Pv for the automobile will increase.

  In the control unit 71 of the control device 54, the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment is requested to be reduced by the power supply to the house-installed electrical equipment due to the interruption of the second wiring breaker subject to the first interruption of priority from the value indicated by the Ph power monitor 51. It is determined whether or not the set value has been reached (whether the additional amount of charging power Pv to the electric vehicle has been secured). As a result, if the power supply Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the house has not reached the set value for the additional power reduction request, the second circuit breaker subject to the second highest priority order is shut off. This process is repeated for the additional interruption target second wiring breaker of lower priority in order until the power supply Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the house reaches the set value of the additional power reduction request.

(Display of fast charge mode status and remaining time of fast charge)
Also in the present embodiment, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric device group 82, and the outlet group 83, during charging of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode, The display device 103, the display device 94, and the display device 112, that is, the LED lamp 121, may display that effect. Further, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, the respective display devices 103 are charged during the charging of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode. The remaining time in the high-speed charging mode may be displayed on the display device 94 and the display device 112, that is, the time display device 122. Further, when the circuit breaker is interrupted, it is preferable to display the state in which the circuit breaker is interrupted and the time to be interrupted by the LED lamp 121 and the time display device 122.

(Charge schedule, fast charge mode timer setting)
Further, the charging completion of the storage battery 62 is set to 80% or 60% with respect to the full charge, for example, the charge of the storage battery 62 in the high speed charge mode is set to 60% with respect to the full charge, and the remaining 40% until the full charge is set to the low speed charge mode. In the case of the above-described embodiment, it is possible to set a charging schedule such that charging is performed by charging, and furthermore, a charging schedule can be set so that charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode is performed only for a predetermined time set by the user. It is the same.

(Description of operation)
In the above configuration, the operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 shown in FIG. 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a basic operation of electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 in the present embodiment following the operation of FIG.

  When charging the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 with the electric vehicle charging device 2, the user turns on the electric vehicle charging device 2, and the charging cable provided in the charger / discharger 53 is connected to the electric vehicle. 3 is connected. Thereby, the charger / discharger 53 and the storage battery 62 are connected. In addition, communication between the electric vehicle system 61 and the electric vehicle charging device 2 is possible. It is preferable to connect the storage battery 62 and the charger / discharger 53 after confirming their normal operation and safety by communication.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 13, when the electric vehicle charging device 2 receives a charging instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S101), it determines whether the set charging mode is the fast charging mode or the slow charging mode. Determine (S102).

  In S102, if the set charging mode is the low speed charging mode, charging in the low speed charging mode is started (S103), and if the charging is completed (S104), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in S102, if the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 refers to the storage content of the storage device 72, and the distribution board 12 in the case of the high-speed charging mode. The contents of the distribution setting between the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electric equipment and the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle with respect to the input electric power Pin are confirmed. Further, according to the contents of the distribution setting, the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is distributed so that the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment is reduced. In this case, the control part 71 of the control apparatus 54 interrupts | blocks the interruption | blocking object 2nd circuit breaker of the 2nd wiring breaker group 81 (S105). Along with this, power supply to the house-installed electrical equipment connected to the second wiring breaker to be interrupted is interrupted. As a result, the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle can be increased by the amount by which the power supply to the house-installed electric device is cut off.

  After the process of S105, the control unit 71 determines whether or not the supplied power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph (S106). The allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution setting value (supply power Phset1) of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin in the fast charge mode.

  As a result of the determination in S106, if the supplied power Ph is larger than the allowable upper limit value, the control unit 71 distributes the input power Pin between the supplied power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle. The display device 55 is caused to display a message to prompt resetting.

The above display is, for example, “The set value of the charging power Pv for the electric vehicle cannot be changed. Please reset the charging power Pv”. The resetting is intended to request the user to set the direction to decrease the charging power Pv. In addition to the above display, the display content may be notified to the user by voice.

  After the process of S107, the control unit 71 resets the charging power Pv by the user from the input device 56 (distribution of the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle with respect to the input power Pin. (S108), and if there is no input of resetting of the charging power Pv (resetting of the breaking target second wiring breaker) by the end of the predetermined time, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is an input for resetting the charging power Pv in S108, the process of S105 is performed based on the contents of the resetting.

  In the above-described process, the process may return to S15 (S105) through S18, S19 (S106) and S20 shown in FIG. In this case, the process performed in S105 further shuts off one of the second wiring breakers 23 included in the second wiring breaker group 81 (for example, the second wiring breaker 23 set in advance by the user). It will be a thing.

  Thereafter, if the result of determination in S106 is that the supplied power Ph is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit value, the control unit 71 starts charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S109 of FIG.

  Here, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, during the charging of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode, that effect is displayed, for example, by turning on the LED lamp 121. In the case of the configuration, the LED lamp 121 may be turned on.

  In addition, when the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83 are configured to display the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode while charging the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode, The remaining time in the fast charge mode may be displayed on the time display device 122.

  When displaying the remaining time of the fast charging mode, the control unit 71 of the control device 54, as described above, based on the remaining power amount information of the storage battery 62, the charging completion state information, and the charging power Pv information to the electric vehicle, Completion prediction time is calculated and transmitted to the second circuit breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82 and the outlet group 83. Alternatively, the control unit 71 counts down the remaining time (predicted completion time) in the high-speed charging mode, and transmits the remaining time to the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electric device group 82, and the outlet group 83 for each countdown. . In response to this, in the second wiring breaker group 81, the house-installed electrical equipment group 82, and the outlet group 83, the remaining time in the high-speed charging mode is displayed on the time display device 122.

  After starting charging of the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S109, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines whether or not the user has input an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode from the input device 56 ( S110). As a result of this determination, if an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is input, a process for shifting to the low-speed charging mode is performed (S120), the count value n is reset to 0 (S121), and then the process proceeds to S103 and the low-speed charging mode is entered. Charge in charge mode.

  On the other hand, if the instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is not input as a result of the determination in S110, the control unit 71 determines whether or not an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input from the input device 56 ( S111). This determination may be made before the start of charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode.

  As a result of the determination in S111, if an additional request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle has not been input, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 continues the charging until the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed, and the charging is completed. If (S119), the process proceeds to S120, and the subsequent processes are performed. The process ends. If charging in the high-speed charging mode is not completed in S119, the process returns to S110 and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S111, if an addition request for the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is input, the control unit 71 of the control device 54 determines whether or not the charging power Pv can be added (S112). . In this determination, when the supply power Ph1 to the home-installed electrical device at that time exceeds the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical device when a request to add the charge power Pv is made, the addition of the charge power Pv is Determined impossible.

  The request for adding the charging power Pv is a request for increasing the charging power Pvset1 to the charging power Pvset2. In addition, when the supply power Ph1 exceeds the supply power Phset2 to the home-installed electrical equipment when the request for adding the charge power Pv is made, it is input when the charge power Pvset2 is set without reducing the supply power Ph1. This is a case where the power Pin exceeds an upper limit value (for example, 10 kW).

  As a result of the determination in S112, if the charging power Pv can be added, the charging power Pv is added without additionally reducing the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment (S113). That is, the charging power Pvset1 is switched to the charging power Pvset2 and is increased. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S119, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is not possible to add the charging power Pv as a result of the determination in S112, it is necessary to further reduce the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment. Therefore, the control unit 71 refers to the storage contents of the storage device 72, and when adding the charging power Pv in the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 71 supplies the electric power Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment with respect to the input power Pin and the electric vehicle. The contents of the distribution setting with the charging power Pv (supply power Phset2, charging power Pvset2) are confirmed. Furthermore, according to the content of the distribution setting, the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is distributed so that the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment is additionally reduced.

  In this case, the control part 71 of the control apparatus 54 interrupts | blocks an additional breaking object 2nd circuit breaker in the order of the preset priority (S114). Specifically, first, the second circuit breaker subject to additional interruption of the first priority is shut off. Thereby, the power consumption for the house-installed electric device connected to the blocked additional second interruption circuit breaker is reduced. In addition, regarding the said priority, the some additional wiring breaker 2nd circuit breaker may be set to one priority (for example, priority order 1st).

  Next, after the process of S114, the control unit 71 sets the count value n to n + 1 (S115), and the supply power Ph1 to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value of the supply power Ph. It is determined whether or not (S116). Here, the allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution set value (supply power Phset2) of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin when the charging power Pv is added in the fast charge mode.

  If the result of determination in S116 is that the supplied power Ph1 is greater than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset2), it is determined whether or not the count value n is 2 or less (S117). In this case, the value 2 of n is not limited to 2, but may be set to an appropriate value of 2 or more.

As a result of the determination in S117, if the count value n is 2 or less, the process returns to S114, and S114
From the process of S117, the process of S117 is repeated. In addition, in the process of S114 performed again, the 2nd priority interruption | blocking 2nd wiring breaker of priority is cut off.

  Next, if it is determined in S116 that the supplied power Ph1 is equal to or lower than the allowable upper limit value (supplied power Phset2), the charging power Pv can be added, so the charging power Pv is added (S117). That is, the charging power Pvset1 is switched to the charging power Pvset2 and is increased. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S119, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, if the supply power Ph1 is larger than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset2) in the determination in S116 and the count value n is larger than 2 in the determination in S117, the control unit 71 cannot add the charging power Pv. Is displayed on the display device 55. In addition to this, a display device that prompts the user to reset the input power Pin for the distribution of the power supply Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charge power Pv of the electric vehicle (supply power Phset2, charge power Pvset2) is displayed. 55.

  The resetting is intended to request the user to set the direction to decrease the charging power Pv. In addition to the above display, the display content may be notified to the user by voice.

  Next, the control unit 71 determines whether or not the charging in the high-speed charging mode is completed in S119. If the charging is completed, the control unit 71 proceeds to S120 and performs the subsequent processing. On the other hand, if the charging is not completed, the process returns to S110 and the subsequent processing is repeated.

  In addition, when the user changes the distribution (supply power Phset2 and charge power Pvset2) of the power supply Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle for the input power Pin by the display in S118 The changed setting is stored in the storage device 72. Thereafter, the changed setting is reflected in the processes of S112 and S116.

(Explanation of operation when charging schedule is set)
In the present embodiment, the operation of electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 when the charging schedule is set is as described in FIG. In this case, the operation in S56 in FIG. 12 corresponds to the operation in S105 in FIG. 13 to S116 in FIG.

  In the electric vehicle charging device 2 of the present embodiment, as described above, in the case of the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode, as in the case of the charging operation in the low-speed charging mode, as in the case of the electric vehicle charging device 2 of the above-described embodiment. The electric power supplied to the electric appliance installed in the house is controlled so that the electric power supplied to the electric appliance installed in the house is reduced and the electric power charged in the electric vehicle is increased. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately charge the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode under the condition where the power usage upper limit value, that is, the contract power is set.

  Moreover, in the control which suppresses the power consumption of the house-installed electric equipment in the high-speed charge mode, the second wiring breaker 23 is cut off. Therefore, in the high-speed charge mode, the power consumption of the house-installed electric equipment is simple. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, the user can designate the interruption target wiring breaker in the high-speed charging mode by operating the input device 56 while confirming the house-installed electric device connected to the second wiring breaker 23. Thereby, an appropriate second wiring breaker 23 can be set as a breaking target wiring breaker reflecting the user's wishes.

In addition, when a request for adding charging power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 is input from the input device 56, additional blocking is performed in accordance with a priority set in advance by the user until the charging power Pv reaches a value corresponding to the request for addition. The target second wiring breaker is sequentially cut off. Thereby, in the high-speed charging mode, when an additional request for the charging power Pv is generated, the additional interruption target second wiring breaker can be interrupted according to the priority order reflecting the user's wishes.

[Embodiment 3]
Still another embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an electric vehicle charging system including the electric vehicle charging device according to the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, an electric vehicle charging device 201 shown in FIG. 15 is provided instead of the electric vehicle charging device 2 shown in FIG. The electric vehicle charging device 201 includes a control device 202 instead of the control device 54 shown in FIG. 3, and the control device 202 further includes a control unit 203 instead of the control unit 71 shown in FIG.

  In addition, the electric vehicle charging device 201 includes a schedule management device 204 that manages a use schedule (hereinafter referred to as an electric vehicle use schedule) of the user's electric vehicle 3. The schedule management apparatus 204 may be a personal computer that operates by an application program for schedule management, for example. Other configurations of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 201 are the same as those of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 2 described above.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the schedule management device 204 stores, for example, a scheduled date, a departure time, and a destination where the user uses the electric vehicle 3 as an electric vehicle use schedule. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an electric vehicle use schedule stored in the schedule management device 204 shown in FIG.

  When charging of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode is instructed from the input device 56, the control unit 203 determines the planned travel distance of the electric vehicle 3, the power consumption rate of the electric vehicle 3, and the remaining battery level of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3. From the charging time, the amount of electric power charged to the storage battery 62 required for the electric vehicle 3 to travel the planned travel distance is calculated. Next, based on the calculation result, a distribution between the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electric device and the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle is calculated for the input electric power Pin in order to secure the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle. Furthermore, according to the calculation result, the electric power Ph for charging the electric vehicle is secured, and the electric power Ph supplied to the electric appliance installed in the house is controlled so that the electric power Ph supplied to the electric appliance installed in the house is reduced. Further, the charger / discharger 53 is controlled so that the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 is charged for the determined charging time by the distributed charging power Pv to the electric vehicle.

  Here, the planned travel distance of the electric vehicle 3 is a round-trip distance from the current position where the electric vehicle charging device 201 is installed to the “destination” with reference to the electric vehicle use schedule of the schedule management device 204. it can. In addition, the specific distance may be acquired from a website published on the Internet. Or you may acquire from the car navigation system 205 with which the electric vehicle system 61 is equipped, or the internet. Alternatively, the control unit 203 itself may have a distance calculation function. Alternatively, the user may input by operating the input device 56.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the car navigation system 205 specifies a position on the map of the electric vehicle 3 on which the car navigation system 205 is mounted by a GPS (global positioning system) function, and is set by the user. The electric vehicle 3 is guided to the destination. For this purpose, the car navigation system 205 includes a display device 211, an input device 212, a map data storage device 213, a position measurement unit 214, a travel distance calculation unit 215, a history information storage device 216, and a display control unit 217.

  The input device 212 is used for inputting various information such as a destination and route conditions by the user. The position measurement unit 214 refers to the map data stored in the map data storage device 213 and specifies the position of the electric vehicle 3 on the map by the GPS function.

  The travel distance calculation unit 215 calculates the travel distance of the electric vehicle 3. The history information storage device 216 stores history information such as the transition of the remaining battery level as the electric vehicle 3 travels and the travel distance calculated by the travel distance calculation unit 215 measured by the battery remaining amount measurement unit 63. Remember.

  The display control unit 217 displays map data from the map data storage device 213, position information of the electric vehicle 3 measured by the position measurement unit 214, travel distance of the electric vehicle 3 calculated by the travel distance calculation unit 215, and the like. Based on this, guidance information for guiding the running of the electric vehicle 3 is displayed on the display device 211.

  The power consumption rate (km / kW) of the electric vehicle 3 can be calculated from information stored in the history information storage device 216 of the car navigation system 205. For example, it can be calculated from the transition of the remaining battery level and travel distance associated with travel of the electric vehicle 3 as history information stored in the history information storage device 216. Alternatively, the user may input the power consumption rate of the electric vehicle 3 by operating the input device 56.

  The remaining battery level of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 can be acquired from the remaining battery level measuring unit 63 of the electric vehicle system 61.

  The charging time can be calculated as the charging time from the current time to the departure time indicated in the electric vehicle usage schedule. Alternatively, the charging time may be input by the user operating the input device 56.

  In the distribution of the input power Pin, the control unit 203 sets, for example, the round trip distance from the current position to “destination” as the planned travel distance, the planned travel distance is 100 km, the power consumption rate is 10 km / kWh, and the remaining power of the storage battery 62 The charging power Pv to the electric vehicle when the amount is 2 kW and the charging time is 1 hour (current time is 12:00, departure time is 13:00) is obtained.

  The electric energy of the storage battery 62 required for the electric vehicle 3 to travel the planned travel distance is 10 kW from the planned travel distance: 100 km and the power consumption rate: 10 km / kW. Moreover, the charge amount (power amount) to be supplemented to the storage battery 62 is 8 kW from the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62: 2 kW. Therefore, the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle is 1 hour at 8 kWh. The charging power Pv for the electric vehicle may be directly input by the user operating the input device 56.

  From the above results, when the input power Pin is 10 kW, the control unit 203 determines that the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment is 2 kW and the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle between 12:00 and 13:00. The input power Pin is distributed so that becomes 8 kW. Furthermore, the supply power Ph to the house-installed electric device is controlled so that the supply power Ph to the house-installed electric device becomes 2 kW. Note that the configuration for controlling the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment to be 2 kW is that the power consumption of the house-installed electrical equipment in the house-installed electrical equipment group 82 is directly as described in the above embodiment. Any of the structure to control or the structure to control interruption | blocking of the 2nd wiring breaker 23 of the 2nd wiring breaker group 81 may be sufficient.

(Description of operation)
In the above configuration, the operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 201 of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a basic operation of electric vehicle charging apparatus 201 shown in FIG. 15 in the present embodiment.

  When charging the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 with the electric vehicle charging device 201, the charging cable provided in the charger / discharger 53 is connected to the electric vehicle 3 by the user. Thereby, the charger / discharger 53 and the storage battery 62 are connected. In addition, communication between the electric vehicle system 61 and the electric vehicle charging device 201 is possible.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 18, when the electric vehicle charging apparatus 201 receives a charge instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S201), it determines whether the set charge mode is the fast charge mode or the slow charge mode. Determine (S202).

  In S202, if the set charging mode is the low-speed charging mode, charging in the low-speed charging mode is started (S203), and if the charging is completed (S204), the process ends.

  On the other hand, in S202, if the set charging mode is the fast charging mode, the control unit 203 of the control device 202 causes the scheduled travel distance of the electric vehicle 3, the power consumption rate of the electric vehicle 3, and the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3. Each information of the remaining battery level and the charging time is acquired (S205).

  Next, the control unit 203 calculates the amount of charge power to the storage battery 62 necessary for the electric vehicle 3 to travel the planned travel distance (S206).

  Next, from the calculation result in S206, the distribution of the supply power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 with respect to the input power Pin to secure the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 is performed. Is calculated (S207). The calculation result is stored in the storage device 72.

  Next, the control unit 203 of the control device 202 sets the charger / discharger 53 and the second wiring breaker group 81 or the house-installed electric device group 82 so that charging in the high-speed charging mode is performed for the set charging time. Control is performed (S208). The content of the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode in S208 corresponds to the processing from S15 in FIG. 10 to S31 in FIG. 11 or the processing from S105 in FIG. 13 to S116 in FIG. Further, the process of S210 corresponds to the process of S33 of FIG.

  For example, in S208, when performing the processing from S15 in FIG. 10 to S31 in FIG. 11, the control unit 203 refers to the storage content of the storage device 72 and houses the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 The distribution setting between the electric power Ph supplied to the installed electric device and the charging electric power Pv to the electric vehicle is confirmed, and the presence / absence of setting of the electric device targeted for power reduction is determined (S15).

  Next, the control unit 203 performs the process of S16 or S17 as described above according to the determination result in S15.

  After that, the control unit 203 proceeds to S23 and proceeds to S23 when the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit of the supply power Ph (S19). Charging to 62 is started. The processing after S23 is as described above. In this case, the allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution set value of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin for securing the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 calculated in S207 of FIG. is there.

  On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S15 to S20, if the supplied power Ph is not less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value in the determination of S19, the control unit 203 applies the input power Pin to the house-installed electrical equipment as described above. The display device 55 is prompted to reset the distribution of the supplied power Ph and the electric vehicle charging power Pv (S21).

  After the process of S21, the control unit 203 resets the charging power Pv by the user from the input device 56 (distribution of the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle with respect to the input power Pin. (S22), and if there is no input for resetting the charging power Pv by the end of the predetermined time, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if there is an input for resetting the charging power Pv in S22, the process of S16 or S17 is performed based on the reset value. As a result of the determination in S19, the supplied power Ph is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value. If it becomes, the control part 203 will progress to S23 of FIG. 11, and will start the charge with respect to the storage battery 62 by a high-speed charge mode.

  In S208, when performing the processing from S105 of FIG. 13 to S116 of FIG. 14, the control unit 203 refers to the storage contents of the storage device 72 and houses the input power Pin to the distribution board 12. The contents of the distribution setting between the electric power Ph supplied to the installed electric equipment and the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle are confirmed. Further, according to the contents of the distribution setting, the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is distributed so that the power supply Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical equipment is reduced. In this case, the control part 203 of the control apparatus 54 interrupts | blocks the interruption | blocking object 2nd wiring breaker of the 2nd wiring breaker group 81 (S105).

  After that, the control unit 203 proceeds to S109 and proceeds to S109 when the supply power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit of the supply power Ph (S106). Charging to 62 is started. The processing after S109 is as described above. In this case, the allowable upper limit value of the supplied power Ph is a distribution set value of the supplied power Ph from the input power Pin for securing the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle 3 calculated in S207 of FIG. is there.

  On the other hand, as a result of the processing of S105 to S108, if the supplied power Ph does not fall below the allowable upper limit value in the determination of S106, the control unit 203 applies the input power Pin to the house-installed electrical equipment as described above. The display device 55 is prompted to reset the distribution of the supplied power Ph and the electric vehicle charging power Pv (S107).

  After the process of S107, the control unit 203 resets the charging power Pv by the user from the input device 56 (distribution of the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electric equipment and the charging power Pv to the electric vehicle with respect to the input power Pin. (S108), and if there is no input of resetting of the charging power Pv (resetting of the breaking target second wiring breaker) by the end of the predetermined time, the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if there is an input for resetting the charging power Pv in S108, the process of S105 is performed based on the resetting contents, and if the result of determination in S106 is that the supplied power Ph is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value, Control part 203 progresses to S109 of Drawing 14, and starts charge to storage battery 62 by high-speed charge mode.

In the electric vehicle charging apparatus 201 according to the present embodiment, in the case of the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 203 acquires information indicating the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 from the electric vehicle 3 and Each piece of information indicating the planned travel distance, power consumption rate, and charging time of the automobile 3 is acquired. And based on these acquired information, the charge amount of the electric vehicle 3 required per charge time is calculated, and the electric power Ph supplied to a house installation electrical apparatus is set so that this charge amount can be ensured. Therefore, the electric power Ph supplied to the house-installed electrical device is controlled to be a set value. As a result, as the charging power Pv for the electric vehicle 3, it is possible to secure the amount of power necessary for the electric vehicle 3 to travel the planned travel distance. Moreover, about the electric power Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in a house, a situation where it is unnecessary reduced can be prevented.

[Embodiment 4]
Still another embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the electric vehicle charging device 421 is provided in the residential power receiving facility 1.

  The configuration shown in FIG. 20 is different from the configuration shown in FIG. 1 in that the distribution board 12 further includes a fourth wiring breaker 25, and a charger / discharger 401 is connected to the fourth wiring breaker 25. The point is that a household stationary storage battery 402 is connected to the discharger 401, and a battery remaining amount measuring unit 403 that measures the remaining power amount of the household stationary storage battery 402 is provided. Note that the charger / discharger 401, the household stationary storage battery 402, and the battery remaining amount measuring unit 403 are included in the electric vehicle charging device 421.

  The fourth wiring breaker 25 has the same configuration as the second wiring breaker 23 and the third wiring breaker 24, and is connected to the power supply line 41 as shown in FIG. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific configuration of the distribution board 12 shown in FIG.

  That is, the fourth wiring breaker 25 is connected to the L1 line and the L2 line of the feeder line 41. As a result, AC power of 200 V is input to the fourth wiring breaker 25.

  The charger / discharger 401 has the same configuration as that of the charger / discharger 53, and performs an operation of charging the household stationary storage battery 402 by converting AC power supplied via the fourth wiring breaker 25 into DC power. Moreover, the direct-current power supplied from the household stationary storage battery 402 is converted into alternating current power, and the operation | movement supplied to the feeder line 41, ie, house installation electric equipment (home appliance), is performed. Note that charging by the charger / discharger 401 for the home stationary storage battery 402 is performed during a period in which the home stationary storage battery 402 is not discharged in a mode other than the high-speed charging mode. As this period, for example, a time zone in which power consumption at home is low, particularly a time zone in which midnight power with a low charge can be used is preferable.

  As with the control device 54 shown in FIG. 1, the control device 411 charges the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 by the charger / discharger 401 and charges the storage battery installed in the house by discharging the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3. The operation of the charger / discharger 401 such as the operation is controlled. In addition, the control device 411 charges the home stationary storage battery 402 by the charger / discharger 401, and supplies power to the power supply line 41, that is, a house-installed electrical device (home appliance) by discharging the home stationary storage battery 402. The operation of the charger / discharger 401 such as a supply operation is controlled. Further, the control device 411 properly charges the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode when the high-speed charging mode is selected in a state where the contract power (use power upper limit value) is set in the house. In addition, the power supply Ph supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the house is controlled.

In the present embodiment, since AC power can be supplied from the home stationary storage battery 402 to the charger / discharger 401, the charging power Pv of the electric vehicle, the power supply Ph supplied to the electric equipment installed in the house, and the discharging of the charger / discharger 401 The relationship between the power Pb and the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is
Pin = (Ph−Pb) + Pv
It becomes. In addition, in the relationship between the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 and the contract power Pc,
Pc> Pin
Is the same.

  In the above equation, the input power Pin is constant, and Ph-Pb is the power (supplied power Phset1) that is distributed from the input power Pin to the home-installed electrical equipment. Therefore, in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the supply power Phset1 to the house-installed electrical equipment by the amount of the discharge power Pb of the charger / discharger 401, and the reduction amount, that is, the amount of the discharge power Pb of the charger / discharger 401. The charging power Pvset1 for the electric vehicle can be increased. In the present embodiment, discharging from the home stationary storage battery 402 is possible up to a state where the remaining power amount is 20% (lower limit value) with respect to the fully charged state of the home stationary storage battery 402, for example.

  FIG. 22 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an electric vehicle charging system including the electric vehicle charging device 421 illustrated in FIG. The configuration of FIG. 22 is different from the configuration shown in FIG. 3 in that the electric vehicle charging device 421 further includes a charger / discharger 401, a home stationary storage battery 402, and a battery remaining amount measuring unit 403. Furthermore, the control unit 412 of the control device 411 controls the operation of the charger / discharger 401 based on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 from the battery remaining amount measuring unit 403.

  In the above configuration, the operation of the electric vehicle charging device 421 of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 421 shown in FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 421 following the operation of FIG. 23 corresponds to the operation of FIG. 10, and the operation of FIG. 24 corresponds to FIG.

  When the power of the electric vehicle charging device 421 is turned on by the user, the control unit 412 of the control device 411 resets the count value n to 0, and when the charging cable is connected to the electric vehicle 3 by the user, charging / discharging is performed. Electric appliance 53 and storage battery 62 are connected. In addition, communication between the electric vehicle system 61 and the electric vehicle charging device 421 becomes possible.

  When the electric vehicle charging device 421 receives a charging instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S11), the electric vehicle charging device 421 determines whether the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode or the low-speed charging mode (S12).

  In S <b> 12, if the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 412 acquires information on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 from the battery remaining amount measuring unit 403. Further, the control unit 412 refers to the storage contents of the storage device 72 and sets the distribution of the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 between the electric power Ph supplied to the home-installed electrical equipment and the electric power Pv charged to the electric vehicle. The contents of (supplied power Phset1, charging power Pvset1) are confirmed (S301).

  Next, the control unit 412 calculates the charging time until the charging of the storage battery 62 is completed from the charging power Pvset1 and the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S302). Further, the amount of electric power that can be discharged from the home stationary storage battery 402 is calculated, and by calculating the amount of power divided by the charging time calculated in S302, the discharge power Pb from the home stationary storage battery 402 is determined and discharged. (S303).

  For example, when the charging power Pvset1 is 5 kW, the charging time is 3 hours, and if the amount of electric power that can be discharged from the home stationary storage battery 402 is 6 kWh, 6 kW is divided by 3 hours, and the discharging power Pb is 2 kW. The state of charge (remaining power amount) of the home stationary storage battery 402 after 6 kWh discharge is set so that the remaining amount is 20%.

  Next, the control unit 412 determines whether or not the supply power Ph1 measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than an allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1) of the supply power Ph (S304). In this case, the supply power Ph1 is a value obtained by subtracting the discharge power Pb. If the result of this determination is YES, the process proceeds to S23 in FIG. 24, and charging in the fast charge mode is started. On the other hand, if the determination result in S304 is NO, the process proceeds to S15 and the subsequent processing is performed.

  If the determination result in S304 is NO, the control unit 412 determines whether or not the power reduction target electric device is set (S15).

  As a result of the determination in S15, if the power reduction target electrical device is not set, the power consumption of each home-installed electrical device is uniformly reduced by a predetermined percentage based on the preset setting (S16).

  On the other hand, if the electric power reduction target electric device is set as a result of the determination in S15, refer to the contents of the distribution setting (supply power Phset1, charging power Pvset1) for the input power Pin confirmed in S301. The input power Pin to the distribution board 12 is distributed so that the supply power Ph to the installed electrical equipment is reduced. In this case, the control unit 412 of the control device 411 instructs the electric power reduction target electric devices in the house-installed electric device group 82 to reduce power consumption (S17).

  In addition, about operation | movement of the control part 412 in S13-S14 of FIG. 23, S18-S22, and S307, except the point which stops the discharge from the household stationary storage battery 402 in S307, and returns to S301 from FIG. As described above.

  Thereafter, if the result of determination in S19 is that the supplied power Ph1 is less than or equal to the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1), the control unit 412 starts charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S23 of FIG. .

  Regarding the determination as to whether or not discharge from the home stationary storage battery 402 is possible, the control unit 412 determines whether discharge from the home stationary storage battery 402 is possible based on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 acquired in S301. Determine. This determination is possible if the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 exceeds 20% of the full charge, and is determined to be impossible if it is 20% or less. For example, when the remaining amount is 50%, 30% up to 20% can be used as the discharge power. When the remaining amount is 30%, 10% can be discharged.

  Further, when the home stationary storage battery 402 can be discharged, the discharge time and the discharge power Pb at the discharge time may be set based on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402. The discharge time may be set appropriately by the user or the control unit 412.

  When the discharge by the discharge power Pb from the home stationary storage battery 402 is performed, the discharge power Pb is supplied as the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment. Therefore, the power consumption of the home appliance can be reduced by the amount of the discharge power Pb.

  After starting charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S23, the control unit 412 determines whether or not an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is input from the input device 56 by the user (S24). As a result of this determination, if an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is not input, the control unit 412 sets the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 to the lower limit value based on the measurement result of the remaining battery level measurement unit 403. It is determined whether it has been reached (S305).

  As a result of the determination in S305, if the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 has not reached the lower limit value, the process proceeds to S25, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S305, the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 has reached the lower limit (the remaining power amount is 20% of the full charge), and the home stationary storage battery is connected via the charger / discharger 401. When the discharge power Pb from 402 is being supplied to the house-installed electrical device, the process proceeds to S36. In S36, a transition process to the low-speed charging mode is performed, and the charger / discharger 401 is stopped after the high-speed charging is stopped. Thereby, the supply of the discharge power Pb from the home stationary battery 402 is stopped (S306).

  If the supply of the discharge power Pb in S306 is stopped before the stop of the high-speed charging mode, the distribution power (supply power Phset1) from the input power Pin to the house-installed electrical equipment is There is a possibility that the input power Pin exceeds the contract power Pc by returning to the state where the discharge power Pb is not supplied. Accordingly, the high-speed charging mode is terminated first in the process of S36, and after the supply of the discharge power Pb is stopped in S306, the process proceeds to charging in the low-speed charging mode of S13. Thereby, there is no fear of Pc <Pin, and it is possible to normally shift to the low-speed charging mode.

  Note that the operation of the control unit 412 in S25 to S35 and S37 of FIG. 24 is as described based on FIG.

  Other operations of the electric vehicle charging device 421 of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing another operation of the electric vehicle charging apparatus 421 shown in FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the operation of the electric vehicle charging device 421 following the operation of FIG. 25 corresponds to the operation of FIG. 13, and the operation of FIG. 26 corresponds to FIG.

  When the user turns on the electric vehicle charging device 421 and the charging cable is connected to the electric vehicle 3, the charger / discharger 53 and the storage battery 62 are connected. In addition, communication between the electric vehicle system 61 and the electric vehicle charging device 421 becomes possible.

  When the electric vehicle charging device 421 receives a charging instruction for the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S101), the electric vehicle charging device 421 determines whether the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode or the low-speed charging mode (S102).

  In S <b> 102, if the set charging mode is the high-speed charging mode, the control unit 412 acquires information on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 from the battery remaining amount measuring unit 403. In addition, the control unit 412 refers to the storage contents of the storage device 72 and supplies power Ph to the home-installed electrical equipment and the electric power to the electric vehicle with respect to the input power Pin to the distribution board 12 in the high-speed charging mode. The contents of the distribution setting with the charging power Pv (supply power Phset1, charging power Pvset1) are confirmed (S401).

  Next, the control unit 412 calculates the charging time until the charging of the storage battery 62 is completed from the charging power Pvset1 and the remaining power amount of the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 (S402). Furthermore, the amount of electric power that can be discharged from the home stationary storage battery 402 is calculated, and by calculating the amount of power divided by the charging time calculated in S402, the discharge power Pb from the home stationary storage battery 402 is determined and discharged. (S403).

Next, the control unit 412 determines whether or not the supply power Ph1 measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1) of the supply power Ph (S404). In this case, the supply power Ph1 is a value obtained by subtracting the discharge power Pb. If the result of this determination is YES, the process proceeds to S109 in FIG. 26, and charging in the fast charge mode is started. On the other hand, if the determination result in S404 is NO, the process proceeds to S105, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  If the determination result in S404 is NO, the control unit 412 inputs to the distribution board 12 according to the distribution setting contents (charging power Pvset1, supply power Phset1) for the input power Pin in the high-speed charging mode. The electric power Pin is distributed. In this case, the control part 412 interrupts | blocks the interruption | blocking object 2nd wiring breaker of the 2nd wiring breaker group 81 (S105). Along with this, power supply to the house-installed electrical equipment connected to the second wiring breaker to be interrupted is interrupted. As a result, the charge power Pv to the electric vehicle can be increased by the amount by which the power supply to the house-installed electric device is cut off.

  After the process of S105, the control unit 412 determines whether or not the supply power Ph1 to the house-installed electrical equipment measured by the Ph power monitor 51 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit value (supply power Phset1) of the supply power Ph ( S106).

  If the result of this determination is YES, the process proceeds to S109 in FIG. 26, and charging in the fast charge mode is started. On the other hand, if the determination result in S404 is NO, the discharge from the home stationary battery 402 is stopped, and the display device 55 is prompted to reset the charging power Pvset1 and the supply power Phset1 (S407). .

  After the processing of S407, the control unit 412 determines whether or not the user has reset the charging power Pv (resetting the charging power Pvset1 and the supply power Phset1) from the input device 56 (S108), and a predetermined time has elapsed. If there is no input of resetting of the charging power Pv (resetting of the second wiring breaker to be interrupted) by the time, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is an input for resetting the charging power Pv in S108, the process of S105 is performed based on the contents of the resetting.

  In the above-described process, the process may return to S15 (S105) through S18, S19 (S106) and S20 shown in FIG. In this case, the process performed in S105 further shuts off one of the second wiring breakers 23 included in the second wiring breaker group 81 (for example, the second wiring breaker 23 set in advance by the user). It will be a thing.

  Thereafter, if the result of determination in S106 is that the supplied power Ph1 is equal to or less than the allowable upper limit (supply power Phset1), the control unit 412 starts charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S109 of FIG. .

  The operation of the control unit 412 in S103 to S104 of FIG. 25 is as described based on FIG.

  Regarding the determination as to whether or not discharge from the home stationary storage battery 402 is possible, the control unit 412 determines whether discharge from the home stationary storage battery 402 is possible based on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 acquired in S401. Determine. This determination is possible if the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 exceeds 20% of the full charge, and is determined to be impossible if it is 20% or less.

  Further, when the home stationary storage battery 402 can be discharged, the discharge time and the discharge power Pb at the discharge time may be set based on the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402. The discharge time may be set appropriately by the user or the control unit 412.

When the discharge power Pb from the home stationary battery 402 is performed, the discharge power Pb is supplied as the supply power Ph to the house-installed electrical equipment. Therefore, the power consumption of the home appliance can be reduced by the amount of the discharge power Pb.

  After starting charging the storage battery 62 in the high-speed charging mode in S109, the control unit 412 determines whether or not an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is input from the input device 56 by the user (S110). As a result of this determination, if an instruction to change to the low-speed charging mode is not input, the control unit 412 sets the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 to the lower limit value based on the measurement result of the remaining battery level measurement unit 403. It is determined whether it has been reached (S405).

  As a result of the determination in S405, if the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 has not reached the lower limit value, the process proceeds to S111, and the subsequent processing is performed.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in S405, the remaining power amount of the home stationary storage battery 402 has reached the lower limit (the remaining power amount is 20% of the full charge), and the home stationary storage battery is connected via the charger / discharger 401. When the discharge power Pb from 402 is supplied to the house-installed electrical device, the process proceeds to S120. In S120, a transition process to the low-speed charging mode is performed, and the charger / discharger 401 is stopped after the high-speed charging is stopped. Thereby, the supply of the discharge power Pb from the home stationary battery 402 is stopped (S406).

  In this case, the distribution power (supply power Phset2) from the input power Pin to the house-installed electrical equipment returns to the state where the discharge power Pb is not supplied, and the input power Pin may exceed the contract power Pc. There is. Therefore, after finishing the high-speed charging mode, the process proceeds to charging in the low-speed charging mode of S103 through the processes of S406 and S121.

  The operation of the control unit 412 in S111 to S120 in FIG. 26 is as described based on FIG.

  As described above, the configuration of the electric vehicle charging device 421 of the present embodiment can be applied to the electric vehicle charging device of each embodiment described above.

  As described above, in the electric vehicle charging device 421 according to the present embodiment, in the case of the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode, the discharge power Pb from the home stationary storage battery 402 is supplied to the house-installed electric device via the charger / discharger 401. It comes to supply. Therefore, the power of the home appliance can be reduced by the amount of the discharge power Pb. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately charge the storage battery 62 of the electric vehicle 3 in the high-speed charging mode under the condition where the power usage upper limit value, that is, the contract power is set.

  In the above embodiment, the charging operation based on the charge priority operation is described as the charging operation based on the fast charge mode. However, the configuration of the electric vehicle charging devices 2, 201, 421 that perform the charging operation by the charge priority operation is not limited to the electric vehicle charging device that can select the charging operation in the high-speed charging mode and the charging operation in the low-speed charging mode.
