First, with reference to FIG. 1, a service (hereinafter referred to as "this service") that can be realized by a power supply system (see FIG. 2 described later) to which a server according to an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention is applied. This section provides an overview of (calling).
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of this service that can be realized by a power supply system to which a server according to an embodiment of an information processing apparatus of the present invention is applied.

This service is a service that contributes to the supply of emergency energy, etc.
In other words, this service is useful in emergencies such as when the power supply is cut off due to an earthquake or flood caused by heavy rain, and specifically, it is a service that is useful for equipment that has one or more loads that use AC power. When it is determined that the first amount of electricity that is constantly supplied to the apartment (here, apartment 5) is not available, the second amount of electricity is preset within a range that is smaller than the first amount. In order to supply electric power (first amount of electric power > second amount of electric power) to a part of the one or more loads, the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the automobile 4 is used as a power source and is discharged to the charging/discharging device 2A. This is a service that contributes to the supply of emergency energy to the equipment (apartment 5) by executing discharge control to bring out its functions.

In addition, in this service, during normal times other than emergencies such as those mentioned above, a charging instruction is given to a vehicle 4 equipped with an on-board storage battery 4A from the charging/discharging device 2A of the charging/discharging stand 2. It is also a service that contributes to the charging of the automobile 4 by executing charging control that causes the charging/discharging device 2A to perform a charging function in such a case.

Therefore, according to this service, in the above-mentioned emergency, one or more loads in the condominium 5 are discharged through the charging/discharging device 2A of the charging/discharging stand 2 using the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the automobile 4 as a power source. This has the effect of being able to supply power to a portion of it.
Moreover, according to this service, an effect is achieved in that during normal times, the automobile 4 equipped with the on-board storage battery 4A can be charged by supplying power from the charging/discharging station 2.

Here, the car 4 is a car (vehicle) that can be charged by external power supply, that is, a car equipped with an on-board storage battery 4A, which uses a motor as a drive source, and drives each of the motor and engine. This applies to cars that are sourced from vehicles. In other words, this applies to a car (electric vehicle) that is powered by electricity and is equipped with the on-board storage battery 4A.

In addition, in FIG. 1, an electric vehicle (EV) owned by an individual such as a private person is taken as an example of the vehicle 4, but the vehicle 4 is not limited to this, and may also be an electric vehicle owned by a company. do. Furthermore, the automobile 4 may include, for example, an EV shared car.
In addition, the on-vehicle storage battery 4A is not particularly limited as long as it has a chargeable/dischargeable function. The on-vehicle storage battery 4A is configured to include a plurality of battery cells, a bus bar that electrically connects them, various sensors, their wiring, etc., and is called a battery module.

The charging/discharging stand 2 includes a charging/discharging device 2A and a storage battery 2B.
The charging/discharging device 2A is configured to be able to supply electric power to and charge the automobile 4 equipped with the on-vehicle storage battery 4A in response to the above-mentioned charging instruction. Further, the charging/discharging device 2A is configured to be able to supply power to a part of one or more loads of the condominium 5 using the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the automobile 4 as a power source in the above-mentioned emergency. be done.

The storage battery 2B is provided in order to use a power source other than the on-vehicle storage battery 4A as a power source for a part of the one or more loads described above.
Although the storage battery 2B in this service is not particularly limited, a so-called EV reuse battery is adopted so as to contribute to reducing the environmental load (described later with reference to FIG. 6).

As some of the above-mentioned 1 or more loads include (but are not limited to) elevators, water pumps, lighting (light circuits, etc.), and outlet equipment, since the equipment is shown in condominium 5 in Figure 1. ).
The one or more loads are those that require alternating current power.
The above-mentioned second amount corresponds to the amount set so that a part of one or more loads can be operated for a preset predetermined time (for example, 72 hours, which will be described later).

Particularly in condominium 5, the operation of elevators is essential because vertical movement of elderly people and those in need of care becomes difficult in the event of an emergency (disaster). In addition, water pumps are also required to operate, as drinking water is also essential for the continuation of life. Therefore, this service can be said to be a useful service.

In this service, the one or more loads mentioned above are monitored and controlled by, for example, the condominium management device 3. In this service, when a signal indicating an emergency is received from an emergency device such as an elevator, the discharge control described above is executed using the signal as a trigger.

Note that the charging/discharging stand 2 is not limited to the combination of the charging/discharging device 2A and the storage battery 2B as shown in FIG. 1, and may be, for example, only the charging/discharging device 2A.
Furthermore, although not shown in FIG. 1, the charging/discharging stand 2 may further include something that functions as another power source, such as a solar power source.

In terms of priority as a power source in this service, the on-vehicle storage battery 4A is placed first, the storage battery 2B is placed second, and the other power sources mentioned above are placed third.

The charging/discharging stand 2 has a charging function and a discharging function.
The charging function is a function of supplying direct current power to the on-vehicle storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4 to charge it.
Further, the discharging function is a function of converting power supplied from a DC power source (on-vehicle storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4) into AC power and discharging the AC power.

The outline of this service has been explained above with reference to FIG. According to this service, it is possible to provide technology that contributes to the supply of emergency energy, etc. That is, according to this service, the disaster response capability of the condominium 5 (equipment (building)) can be strengthened by utilizing the car 4 equipped with the on-board storage battery 4A.

As a supplement to the above-mentioned strengthening of disaster response capabilities, it is important to carry out renovations in preparation for securing power in the event of a large-scale disaster, with an eye on the spread of electric vehicles (EVs). (predetermined time set in advance) is assumed. This service is necessary to secure such time. This service is also necessary for the LCP (Life Continuity Plan) of Apartment 5 and the BCP (Business Continuity Plan) of the office building and factory.

Although there are attempts to use emergency generators as an emergency power source in the event of a large-scale disaster, the supply time of emergency generators is only 30 to 60 minutes. In order to make up for this shortage and ensure sufficient power for elevators and water supply, it is extremely beneficial to provide a technology that utilizes the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the car 4, such as this service.

The charging/discharging stand 2 is effectively a combination of a charging/discharging device 2A and a storage battery 2B, or a combination of other power sources such as a solar panel. The charging/discharging stand 2 has the advantage of not only being able to handle peak cuts, but also that the storage battery 2B does not require fuel deterioration (for example, deterioration of fuel in an emergency generator) or periodic test runs.

In this service, as shown in FIG. 1, the facility is an apartment building 5, but securing power in the event of a large-scale disaster as described above is also beneficial for office buildings and factories. Therefore, this service can target various facilities.

This service can secure power for, for example, 72 hours using the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the automobile 4.

As an example, in this service, we conducted an experiment in which the on-board storage battery 4A was charged to 100% and the elevator was operated until the remaining capacity reached 10%, and the elevator was able to operate continuously for about 15 hours. There is. Additionally, in an experiment with this service, the elevator was operated at a low speed of 30 meters per minute, and was able to operate the elevator over 400 times from the first floor to the sixth floor.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a description will be given of the configuration of a power supply system that realizes the provision of the above service, that is, a power supply system to which a server according to an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention is applied.

Further, the removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage section 18 in the same manner as the storage section 18.

Although not shown, the charging/discharging stand 2 (control unit of the charging/discharging device main body) and the condominium management device 3 in FIG. 2 can also have basically the same hardware configuration as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, a description of the hardware configurations of the charging/discharging stand 2 and the condominium management device 3 will be omitted.

Various types of processing for providing the service shown in FIG. 1 can be executed through cooperation between various hardware and various software that constitute the power supply system shown in FIG. 2, including the server 1 shown in FIG. 3.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server of FIG. 3 in the power supply system of FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the CPU 11 of the server 1, a charging control section 51, a discharging control section 52, and a monitoring section 53 function.
Further, in one area of the storage unit 18 of the server 1, a charging control information DB 71, a discharging control information DB 72, and a monitoring information DB 73 are provided.

When the charging/discharging device 2A gives a charging instruction to charge the automobile 4 equipped with the on-vehicle storage battery 4A, the charging control unit 51 executes charging control to cause the charging/discharging device 2A to perform a charging function. do.
Note that information related to charging control is stored in the charging control information DB 71.

When it is determined that the first amount of power that is constantly supplied to equipment having one or more loads that uses AC power is not available, the discharge control unit 52 controls a range in which the amount is smaller than the first amount. In order to supply a second amount of power preset within the vehicle to a part of the one or more loads, the charging/discharging device 2A is caused to exhibit a discharging function using the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the vehicle 4 as a power source. Executes discharge control.
Note that information related to discharge control is stored in the discharge control information DB 72.

By functioning the charging control unit 51 and discharge control unit 52, they not only contribute to charging the car 4 equipped with the on-board storage battery 4A, but also supply emergency energy to the equipment (apartment 5). can contribute to

The above-mentioned equipment is equipment in an apartment complex that includes elevators, water pumps, lighting, and outlet equipment as part of its load. Specifically, it is an apartment complex such as condominium 5. Furthermore, the facilities are not limited to the above-mentioned apartment complex (condominium 5, etc.), but also include office buildings and factories.
The second amount is preset so that at least a portion of the elevator, at least a portion of the water pump, at least a portion of the lighting, and at least a portion of the outlet equipment are operable within a preset predetermined time. shall be the amount.

Further, the discharge control unit 52 executes discharge control so as to supply power to each of the plurality of loads according to preset priorities.
Thereby, although there are many types of loads attached to the apartment 5, power can be supplied with priority given. For example, it is possible to give priority to loads such as emergency lighting in buildings and water pumps.

Further, the discharge control unit 52 executes discharge control using the storage battery 2B installed in advance as a power source together with or in place of the on-board storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4.
This allows the power supply time to be extended.

Further, the discharge control unit 52 sequentially sets the on-vehicle storage battery 4A, the storage battery 2B, and other power sources (for example, solar panels) as power sources in order of priority and executes discharge control.
This makes it possible to determine the order in which power is to be provided with priority. Here, power can be provided first from the on-vehicle storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4, then from the storage battery 2B, and then from the solar panel.

Further, the discharge control unit 52 executes discharge control according to a preset power consumption pattern (described later) during a preset predetermined time.
As a result, if the target value is to maintain the power supply for 72 hours after a power outage, for example, instead of simply supplying a constant amount of power over time, for example, the server 1 can automatically control the power supply by switching to the power outage control mode. A predetermined desired power consumption pattern can be adopted.

Further, the discharge control unit 52 divides a preset predetermined time into N stages (N is an integer value of 2 or more), and divides the predetermined time into N stages (K is an integer value of 1 to N). During the time period, discharge control is performed so that the entire power capacity of the power source including the on-board storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4 does not fall below a threshold value preset for the K stage.
As a result, the following control can be performed, for example, in order to continue power supply for the above-mentioned 72 hours (3 days). That is, on the first day (within 24 hours), the lower limit is set to the first threshold value (for example, 70%) of the total power capacity, and on the second day, the lower limit is set to the second threshold value (for example, 30%). The power capacity can be controlled so as not to be completely consumed (for example, so as not to become 0% on the first day). With such control, for example, people who require wheelchairs, elderly people, etc. can continue to use elevators and the like even after the second day after a power outage.

Furthermore, when at least some of the equipment and one or more loads are notified of an emergency, the discharge control unit 52 disables the first amount of power that is constantly supplied to the equipment. After making a judgment, execution of discharge control is started.
Accordingly, when information (signal) indicating an emergency is received from an emergency device such as an elevator, for example, via the condominium management device 3, power supply can be started using this as a trigger.

The monitoring unit 53 monitors at least the amount of discharge when the charging/discharging device 2A (charging/discharging stand 2) is performing its discharging function and the remaining amount of the storage battery. The monitoring unit 53 monitors the remaining amount of power of the on-vehicle storage battery 4A and the storage battery 2B mounted on the automobile 4 as the storage batteries.
Note that information related to discharge amount monitoring and remaining amount monitoring is stored in the monitoring information DB 73.
The monitoring unit 53 allows the total amount of power to be monitored by remote monitoring.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, an example of charging and discharging provided by this service will be described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of charging and discharging provided by the service of FIG. 1 to which the server with the functional configuration of FIG. 4 is applied.

During normal times shown in step S1 in FIG. 5, when a charging instruction is given from the charging/discharging device 2A of the charging/discharging stand 2 to the vehicle 4 equipped with the on-board storage battery 4A, the server 1 starts charging/discharging. Charging control is executed to cause the device 2A to exhibit a charging function.
Thereby, the automobile 4 equipped with the on-vehicle storage battery 4A can be charged by supplying electric power from the charging/discharging stand 2.

In the emergency shown in step S2 in FIG. 5 (for example, in an emergency (disaster) where the power supply is cut off due to an earthquake or flood caused by heavy rain), the server 1 uses the on-board storage battery 4A installed in the vehicle 4. As a power source, it performs discharge control to cause the charging/discharging device 2A to exhibit a discharging function.
This corresponds to the case where it is determined that the first amount of power that is constantly supplied to equipment with one or more loads that uses AC power (here, condominium 5) cannot be supplied, and the first amount of power is It is possible to supply a second amount of power (first amount of power>second amount of power) that is preset within a range smaller than the amount of power to a part of the one or more loads.

An example of the flow of using the reusable battery will be described with reference to FIG. 6.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of using reused batteries related to storage batteries of charging and discharging stations provided by this service of FIG. 1.

This service makes secondary use of batteries (battery modules (vehicle storage batteries 4A)) that have high residual performance even after being used in the car.
Reused batteries are utilized in three ways: Recover, Rsfabricate, and Reuse. Utilizing reused batteries contributes to reducing environmental impact. Note that the reused battery may be connected to the charging/discharging stand 2.

For remanufacturing, as shown in FIG. 6, after disassembling the battery module (in-vehicle storage battery 4A) into battery cells 4B, a new package 4C with a different voltage and capacity can be created.

An example of a model plan provided by the service shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a model plan provided by the service shown in FIG. 1.
According to the model plan shown in FIG. 7 (model plan for continuing life by securing power supply in the event of a disaster using EV), it can be seen that the required power (52.68 kW) is within the available power (54 kW).
According to this service, even in the event of a power outage due to a large-scale disaster, it is possible for residents who require power for residential equipment to continue living for 72 hours (three days).

This makes it possible to determine the order in which power is to be provided with priority. Electric power can be provided first from the on-vehicle storage battery 4A mounted on the automobile 4, then from the storage battery 2B, and then from the solar panel.

Furthermore, the discharge control means executes the discharge control according to a preset power consumption pattern during a preset predetermined time.
be able to.
As a result, if the target value is to maintain the power supply for 72 hours after a power outage, for example, instead of simply supplying a constant amount of power over time, for example, the server 1 can automatically control the power supply by switching to the power outage control mode. A predetermined desired power consumption pattern can be adopted.

Furthermore, the discharge control means
Divide the preset predetermined time into N stages (N is an integer value of 2 or more),
In the time period of the Kth stage (K is an integer value from 1 to N), the entire power capacity of the power source including the first storage battery is at a threshold value preset for the K stage. performing the discharge control so as not to fall below;
be able to.
As a result, control can be performed to continue power supply for, for example, the above 72 hours (3 days).

Further, a monitoring means (for example, the monitoring unit 53 in FIG. 4) that monitors at least the amount of discharge when the discharge function of the charging/discharging device is being performed and the remaining amount of the first storage battery.
It is possible to further include the following.
This allows the server 1 to remotely monitor the total amount of power.

Furthermore, the discharge control means
If an emergency is notified from at least some of the equipment and the one or more loads, it is determined that the first amount of power that is constantly supplied to the equipment is not possible, and the discharge control is performed. start running,
be able to.
Accordingly, when information (signal) indicating an emergency is received from an emergency device such as an elevator, for example, via the condominium management device 3, power supply can be started using this as a trigger.
