Here, when the up button 89A or the down button 89C is pushed, the number displayed in the reversed state is increased or decreased, and when the enter button 89B is pushed, the number is reversed to the number corresponding to the next charging start time. The status display moves. In the same manner, if the up button 89A or the down button 89C is pushed as necessary, the number corresponding to the charge start time can be changed, and if the enter button 89B is pushed, the next charging is completed. The highlighted display moves to the number corresponding to the time.

  Thus, every time the determination button 89B is pressed after appropriately operating the up button 89A or the down button 89C, the time of the charge start time → the minute of the charge start time → the hour of the charge end time → the minute of the charge end time → the discharge The display of the inversion state moves in the order of the start time → the charge start time → the discharge end time → the discharge end time. In the middle of this series of operations, the timer time setting unit 141 sets the timer time. It is determined whether or not each scheduled time displayed on the setting display unit 87L can be stored in the first timer time storage unit 131B.

  Specifically, when the time from the charging start time to the charging end time displayed on the timer time setting display unit 87L overlaps with the time from the discharging start time to the discharging end time, the timer time setting unit 141 It is determined that the time displayed on the timer time setting display portion 87L cannot be set and stored in the first timer time storage portion 131B, the alert control portion 87M is displayed on the display portion 87 by the display portion control means 127, and the enter button 89B is pressed. Does not advance to the next highlighted display when pressed. FIG. 16B shows such a state, and the user inevitably uses the up button 89A or the down button 89C to change the discharge start time from, for example, an incorrect “06” to “13”. It will be corrected correctly.

  On the other hand, if the time from the charging start time to the charging end time displayed on the timer time setting display portion 87L does not overlap with the time from the discharging start time to the discharging end time, the timer times in the order described above. The display of the reversed state in the setting display portion 87L can be advanced. When the determination button 89B is pressed after displaying the minute of the discharge end time in the inverted state, the timer time setting unit 141 uses each time displayed on the timer time setting display unit 87L as the timer setting time as the first timer time. The storage unit 131B is overwritten and updated, and the display on the display unit 87 is returned to the timer setting screen of FIG. Here, when the character “timer 2” is displayed in an inverted state and the determination button 89B is pressed, each time displayed on the timer time setting display portion 87L in the same manner is used as the timer setting time in the second timer time storage portion. 131C can be overwritten and updated, and the display on the display unit 87 similarly returns to the timer setting screen of FIG.

  In the middle of the series of operations, when the charging start time and the charging end time displayed on the timer time setting display unit 87L are the same time, these times are used as the first timer time storage unit 131B and the second timer. Although stored in the time storage unit 131C as the set time, the timer mode control instruction unit 156 determines that charging of the secondary battery 38 at the timer time is not performed (invalidated). Similarly, when the discharge start time and the discharge end time displayed on the timer time setting display unit 87L are the same time, these times are set in the first timer time storage unit 131B and the second timer time storage unit 131C. However, the timer mode control instructing unit 156 determines that the secondary battery 38 is not discharged at the timer time itself. As described above, the user can easily set the charging and discharging at the timer time to be invalid as necessary, so that the secondary battery can be operated at the time desired by the user by operating another charging button 88C or discharging button 88D. 38 can be freely charged and discharged.

  As a feature of the timer time setting screen in FIG. 16B, the timer time is set as one screen displayed on the display unit 87 including a charge start time, a charge end time, a discharge start time, and a discharge end time. If the time from the charge start time to the charge end time and the time from the discharge start time to the discharge end time overlap, the timer time for both the charge time and the discharge time Cannot be set. In this way, the user can immediately obtain information on the time related to charging / discharging in one timer function on one screen, and even if an incorrect time is set, the incorrect time is set as it is. Therefore, the time can be corrected at the same time for both charging and discharging, and an efficient correction regarding the start time and end time of charging / discharging becomes possible.

  FIG. 17 shows a display form of a timer switching setting screen displayed on the display unit 87 under the “timer setting” menu hierarchy. When a specific button of the second operation unit 89 is pushed on the setting screen for timer setting shown in FIG. 16, the display unit control means 127 displays a timer switching setting screen as shown in FIG. Display.

  Actually, on the timer switching setting screen in FIG. 17, in addition to the setting state display unit 87I and the current time display unit 87B, the charging start time of the first timer stored and stored in the first timer time storage unit 131B, Along with the charge end time, the discharge start time, the discharge end time, the charge start time, the charge end time, the discharge start time, and the discharge end time of the second timer stored and stored in the second timer time storage unit 131C. A timer on / off state display part 87N for displaying the on / off state and the on / off state of the second timer is arranged at a suitable position in the display part 87.

  The timer on / off state display part 87N in FIG. 17 is a “timer corresponding to the on state of the first timer so that the user can use the two timer functions individually or both independently. “1 ON”, “Timer 1 OFF” corresponding to the first timer OFF state, “TIMER 2 ON” corresponding to the second timer ON state, “TIMER 2 OFF” corresponding to the second timer OFF state "Is displayed as a character, and one of them is displayed in an inverted state. The display of the inversion state is moved each time the up button 89A or the down button 89C is pushed, and a specific character (for example, “Timer 1 ON”) is displayed in the inversion state. When pressed, each of the first timer and the second timer can be set to valid or invalid corresponding to the display of the inverted state, and can be overwritten and updated in the timer function storage unit 131D.

  Here, when both the first timer and the second timer are set to be usable, the charging time set by the first timer, that is, the time from the charging start time to the charging end time, or the discharging time, that is, the discharging start time. If the time from the discharge time to the discharge end time overlaps the charge time or discharge time set by the second timer, the timer mode control instruction unit 156 gives priority to the charge time and discharge time of the first timer, The power conditioner 42 performs charge / discharge control for the secondary battery 38.

  FIG. 18 shows a display form of the display unit 87 when the “charge time setting” menu is selected. When the “charging time setting” menu is selected by the second operation unit 89 on the menu selection screen shown in FIG. 14 described above, the display control unit 127 sets the charging time by the charging time setting unit 142. A setting screen for setting the charging time as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed on the display unit 87. Actually, on the setting screen of the charging time in FIG. 18, in addition to the setting state display portion 87I and the current time display portion 87B, the charging time setting display portion 87O for displaying the charging time to be set is displayed on the display portion. 87 in place.

  The charging time setting display unit 87O in FIG. 18 displays characters and numbers “1 hour”, “2 hours”, “3 hours”, “4 hours”, and “full charge” as a plurality of settable charging times. One of them is displayed in an inverted state. "Full charge" in this is for setting the charging time until the secondary battery 38 is almost fully charged. Therefore, the setting of the charging time here includes not only the determined time but also the setting of an indefinite time until the secondary battery 38 reaches a certain state. The display of the reverse state moves each time the up button 89A or the down button 89C is pressed, and a specific character or number (for example, “2 hours”) is displayed in the reverse state, and then the enter button 89B is displayed. When is pressed, the charging time is set to 2 hours corresponding to the reverse state, and this can be overwritten and updated in the charging time storage unit 132.

  FIG. 19 shows a display form of the display unit 87 when the “discharge time setting” menu is selected. In the menu selection screen shown in FIG. 14 described above, when the menu for “setting discharge time” is selected by the second operation unit 89, the display unit control means 127 is used to set the discharge time by the discharge time setting unit 143. A setting screen for setting the discharge time as shown in FIG. Actually, on the discharge time setting screen in FIG. 19, in addition to the setting state display portion 87I, the current time display portion 87B, and the alert display portion 87M, the discharge time setting display for displaying the discharge time to be set. The part 87P is disposed at an appropriate position in the display part 87.

  The discharge time setting display section 87P in FIG. 19 displays characters and numbers “1 hour”, “2 hours”, “3 hours”, “4 hours”, and “used up” as a plurality of settable discharge times. One of them is displayed in an inverted state. “Use up” in this is for setting the discharge time until the remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 becomes almost empty. Therefore, the setting of the discharge time here includes not only the determined time but also the setting of an indefinite time until the secondary battery 38 reaches a certain state. The display of the reverse state moves each time the up button 89A or the down button 89C is pressed, and a specific character or number (for example, “2 hours”) is displayed in the reverse state, and then the enter button 89B is displayed. When is pressed, the discharge time is set to 2 hours corresponding to the display of the reverse state, and this can be overwritten and updated in the discharge time storage unit 133.

  FIG. 20 shows a display form of the display unit 87 when the “battery remaining amount setting” menu is selected. When the “remaining battery level setting” menu is selected by the second operation unit 89 on the menu selection screen shown in FIG. 14, the display unit control is performed in order to set the remaining battery level setting value by the remaining battery level setting unit 144. The means 127 causes the display unit 87 to display a setting screen for setting the remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 as shown in FIG. Actually, on the battery remaining amount setting screen in FIG. 20, the setting state display portion 87I, the current time display portion 87B, the remaining amount display portion 87C indicating the remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 at the present time, In addition to the set remaining amount display portion 87D indicating the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 stored and saved in the remaining battery amount storage portion 134, the remaining amount displaying the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 to be set is displayed. The quantity setting display part 87Q is arranged at a proper position in the display part 87.

  The remaining amount setting display section 87Q in FIG. 20 displays “maximum”, “level 5”, “level 4”, “level 3”, “level 2”, “level 1” as a plurality of remaining amount setting values that can be set. In addition, letters and numbers “level 0” (not shown) are displayed here, and one of them is displayed in an inverted state. Among these, “maximum” means a remaining amount set value larger than “level 5”, and “level 0” is almost empty state less than “level 1” (however, it is not completely 0 and the secondary battery 38 is not completely zero). The remaining amount setting value (corresponding to the use lower limit value). The display of the reverse state is moved each time the upward button 89A or the downward button 89C is pressed, and a specific character or number (for example, “level 5”) is displayed in the reverse state. When is pressed, the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 is set to a numerical value corresponding to “level 5”, and this can be overwritten and updated in the remaining battery amount storage unit 134.

  Particularly, here, the remaining amount setting value can be set from a plurality of displays by the second operation unit 88 while viewing the display unit 87. The display unit 87 is configured to simultaneously display the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 and the set remaining amount set value on the remaining amount display unit 87C and the set remaining amount display unit 87D. The set value of the remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 and the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 at the present time can be understood at a glance from the display from the display unit 87 inside the controller 6. In addition, the structure which displays the remaining amount display part 87C and the setting remaining amount display part 87D simultaneously is provided also in the display form of FIGS. 21-26 mentioned later.

  Further, in the discharge time setting screen of FIG. 19, an alert display portion 87M of the characters “discharge to the set remaining amount” is provided on the display portion 87. When the secondary battery 38 is discharged, when the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 reaches the remaining amount setting value set and stored in the battery remaining amount storage unit 134, the setting is stored in the discharge time storage unit 133. This is for informing in advance that the discharge is stopped regardless of the discharge time.

  Next, the operation of each operation mode in the above configuration will be described with reference to the display screen of the display unit 87 shown in FIGS.

  In the state where the operation of the storage battery system 1 is stopped, the power failure switching part 43 and the maintenance switch 44 in the power storage panel 7 which is the main body are both on, and the AC from the system S or the photovoltaic power generation system 21 The electric power is converted into DC power through a path of the first power supply line 8 → the second power supply line 17 → the AC / DC conversion circuit 59, and this DC power is applied to the control power supply circuit 65, and a predetermined operating voltage is applied to the control board 54. Is also applied to the automatic voltage regulators 67 and 68 from the noise filter 66, so that stable DC 12V and DC 24V are generated in the storage battery board 7. In particular, the direct current 12 V from the automatic voltage regulator 67 is supplied to the indoor controller 6 via the operating voltage line 69 as the operating voltage of the controller control means 121. Therefore, the controller control means 121 can recognize the detection signal from the door opening / closing detection unit 124 and the operation signal from the second operation unit 89 even when the operation of the storage battery system 1 is stopped.

  In addition, except for an emergency, the contact 33 in the second distribution board 5 is always off and the contact 34 is always on. Therefore, when the operation of the storage battery system 1 is stopped, the contact from the system S or the photovoltaic power generation system 21 is stopped. AC power is supplied from the first power line 8 to the in-house load L1 connected to the outlet of the first distribution board 4, and from the second power line 17 to the second power supply line 31 in the storage battery panel 7, It is supplied to the in-house load L2 connected to the outlet of the second distribution board 5.

  Here, in order to start the operation of the storage battery system 1 from the stopped state, the door 85 of the controller 6 installed indoors is opened and the operation on / off button 89F is pushed. Then, the controller control means 121 receives an operation signal from the operation on / off button 89F, immediately starts the operation mode (recommended mode) by the recommended mode control instruction section 151, and supports the recommended mode by the display section control means 127. The display form is displayed on the display unit 87. In the recommended mode, the secondary battery 38 is charged / discharged at a charge / discharge start time and end time set in advance, and the recommended mode control instruction unit 151 reads out from the recommended timer time storage unit 131A. Power is supplied through the control line 71 so that the secondary battery 38 is charged or discharged by comparing the charging start time, the charging end time, the discharge start time and the discharge end time with the current time taken from the time measuring unit 122. A charge signal or a discharge signal is sent to the control board 54 of the conditioner 42.

  FIG. 21 shows a display form of the display unit 87 during charging of the secondary battery 38 in the recommendation mode. In the figure, the charge / discharge time display portion 87F includes the charge start, charge end, discharge start, and discharge end times read from the recommended timer time storage portion 131A as “23:00” and “07: 0”, respectively. , “13:00” and “16:00” are displayed. For users who are not familiar with the storage battery system 1, the charging start time and the charging end time preset and stored in the recommended timer time storage unit 131 </ b> A are within a time zone where the electricity charge in the power company managing the system S is low. It is preferable that the discharge start time and the discharge end time are within a time zone when the electricity rate is high.

  When the charge start time read from the recommended timer time storage unit 131A matches the current time taken in from the time measuring unit 122, the recommended mode control instruction unit 151 charges the secondary battery 38 with a predetermined charging current. A charge signal is sent to the control board 54 in the storage battery board 7. If the control board 54 determines that the system S has not failed based on the detection signal from the first relay 75, the control board 54 turns on the switching relay 56 and turns off the switching relay 57. When the charging signal is sent from the AC power, the power converter 53 converts the AC power sent from the system S or the photovoltaic power generation system 21 via the second power line 17 in the storage battery panel 7 into DC power. An appropriate charge command signal is sent to the gate drive circuit 63 while recognizing the actual state of the secondary battery 38 based on a signal sent from the storage battery control unit 39 through the control line 51 so that the secondary battery 38 can be supplied. Supply.

  The gate drive circuit 63 receives this charge command signal and supplies a pulse drive signal having a predetermined pulse conduction width to the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 and the DC / DC conversion circuit 62, respectively. The applied AC power is converted into DC power and output from the DC / DC conversion circuit 62. The storage battery control unit 39 that monitors the state of the secondary battery 38 turns on the switches 48 and 49 unless the storage battery modules MDL1 to MDL6 are abnormal, and the control board 54 also turns on the first switch 77. Since the DC power from the DC / DC conversion circuit 62 is supplied to the secondary battery 38 through the DC line 46, the storage battery modules MDL1 to MDL6 are charged with a predetermined charging current. .

  Similarly, the recommended mode control instruction unit 151 discharges the secondary battery 38 with a predetermined discharge current when the discharge start time read from the recommended timer time storage unit 131 </ b> A matches the current time taken from the time measuring unit 122. Thus, a discharge signal is sent to the control board 54. When a discharge signal is sent from the controller 6, the control board 54 converts the DC power stored in the secondary battery 38 into AC power by the power converter 53 and sends it to the second power supply line 17, from which the first power is supplied. It is sent from the storage battery control unit 39 through the control line 51 so that AC power can be supplied to the residential load L1 via the power line 8 and AC power can be supplied to the residential load L2 via the second feeder 31. An appropriate discharge command signal is supplied to the gate drive circuit 63 while recognizing the actual state of the secondary battery 38 based on the incoming signal.

  Upon receiving this discharge command signal, the gate drive circuit 63 supplies a pulse drive signal having a predetermined pulse conduction width to the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 and the DC / DC conversion circuit 62, respectively, to the DC / DC conversion circuit 62. The applied DC power is converted into AC power and output from the DC / AC conversion circuit 61. Here, as long as there is no abnormality in the storage battery modules MDL1 to MDL6, the switches 48 and 49 are in the on state, and the first switch 77 is also in the on state, so that the DC power from the secondary battery 38 is The voltage is applied to the DC / DC conversion circuit 62 via the DC line 46.

  When the secondary battery 38 is being charged in the recommendation mode by the recommendation mode control instruction unit 151, the display unit control unit 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. 21 is performed. Here, in addition to displaying that the secondary battery 38 is charged from the power supply by the operation display unit 87E, the actual operation of the secondary battery 38 sent from the control board 54 via the control line 71 is shown. The remaining amount information is displayed on the remaining amount display portion 87C, and the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 stored and stored in the remaining battery amount storage portion 134 is displayed on the set remaining amount display portion 87D. During the discharge of the secondary battery 38, only the operation display unit 87E in FIG. 21 switches to a display mode in which power is consumed from the secondary battery 38 to the residential loads L1, L2, for example, as shown in FIG. Change.

  The recommended mode control instructing unit 151 is configured so that the actual remaining charge (charge amount) of the secondary battery 38 sent from the control board 54 via the control line 71 during the transmission of the charge signal is a preset upper limit. A determination is made as to whether or not the battery has reached full charge. Temporarily, it is determined that the actual charge amount of the secondary battery 38 has almost reached full charge until the current time taken from the time measuring unit 122 reaches the charge end time read from the recommended timer time storage unit 131A. Then, in order to stop the charging of the secondary battery 38, the transmission of the charging signal is immediately terminated. Thereby, the overcharge with respect to the secondary battery 38 can be prevented.

  On the other hand, even if the actual amount of charge of the secondary battery 38 does not reach a full charge before the current time reaches the charging end time, when the current time reaches the charging end time, a charging signal is transmitted there. finish. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the secondary battery 38 from being charged with a high electric charge after the midnight power is cheap.

  In addition, the recommended mode control instruction unit 151 sets the actual remaining discharge amount of the secondary battery 38 sent from the control board 54 via the control line 71 during the sending of the discharge signal as a preset lower limit value. It is determined whether or not a predetermined remaining amount is reached. Assuming that the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 has decreased to the set remaining amount until the current time taken from the time measuring unit 122 reaches the discharge end time read from the recommended timer time storage unit 131A. If it judges, in order to stop discharge from the secondary battery 38, transmission of a charge signal will be complete | finished immediately. As a result, adverse effects caused by discharging the secondary battery 38 more than necessary can be eliminated.

  On the other hand, even if the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 does not decrease to the predetermined remaining amount until the current time reaches the discharge end time, when the current time reaches the discharge end time, the discharge signal The delivery is terminated, and an unnecessary discharge from the secondary battery 38 is avoided.

  Note that the recommended mode by the recommended mode control instruction unit 151 described above is effective when the storage battery system 1 is started up and starts a series of operations, and is also a recommended switch during operation in another mode. It is also effective by operating the button 88A. In this case, the timer mode by the timer mode control instruction unit 156 is invalidated so as not to function.

  Next, the timer mode operation by the timer mode control instruction unit 156 will be described. In the timer mode, the secondary battery 38 is charged / discharged at an arbitrarily set charge / discharge start time or end time. This is the timer on / off state display section 87N in FIG. Alternatively, when the determination button 89B is pushed and operated in the state where the second timer is displayed in the on state, the operation becomes valid and the operation starts. At this time, the recommended mode that functioned effectively until then is disabled and does not function.

  When the secondary battery 38 is being charged in the timer mode, the display control unit 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. 22 is performed. Here, in particular, in addition to displaying that the secondary battery 38 is charged from the power supply by the operation display unit 87E, the secondary battery 38 sent from the control board 54 via the control line 71 is displayed. Information about the actual remaining amount is displayed by the remaining amount display unit 87C, and the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 stored and stored in the remaining battery amount storage unit 134 is displayed by the set remaining amount display unit 87D. Further, according to the on / off state read from the timer function storage unit 131D, the charging start, charging end, discharge start and discharge end times corresponding to the on state timer are displayed on the charge / discharge time display unit 87F. For example, in FIG. 22, when the first timer is in the on state, the charge start, charge end, discharge start and discharge end times read from the first timer time storage unit 131B are “12:34” and “15: 34 ”,“ 02:34 ”, and“ 05:34 ”are displayed on the charge / discharge time display portion 87F. Although not shown, only the operation display unit 87E in FIG. 22 consumes power from the secondary battery 38 to the residential loads L1 and L2 as shown in FIG. Switch to display mode.

  In the timer mode, the charging signal and the discharging signal are transmitted at a predetermined timing from the timer mode control instruction unit 156 with exactly the same contents as the above-described recommended mode control instruction unit 151, and two times to the storage battery panel 7. The secondary battery 38 is charged / discharged. This is the same in other modes, and in the future, description of the operation related to charging / discharging of the secondary battery 38 will be omitted as much as possible to avoid duplication.

  If the charge start time and the charge end time set and stored in the first timer time storage unit 131B are the same time, the timer mode control instruction unit 156 does not send a charge signal even if the current time becomes the charge start time. If the discharge start time and the discharge end time set and stored in the first timer time storage unit 131B are the same time so that the secondary battery 38 is not charged, a discharge signal can be sent even if the current time becomes the discharge start time. The secondary battery 38 is not discharged. Then, only the charge start time and the charge end time set at different times, or the discharge start time and the discharge end time are transmitted, and the secondary battery 38 is charged or discharged. The same applies to the charge start time and charge end time, and the discharge start time and discharge end time set and stored in the second timer time storage unit 131C.

  In addition, the timer mode control instruction unit 156 may charge or discharge the secondary battery 38 using the timer time of one or both of the first timer and the second timer set to the on state by the timer time setting unit 141. it can. In particular, when both the first timer and the second timer are enabled and used, the timer mode control instruction unit 156 changes from the ON / OFF state stored in the timer function storage unit 131D to the first timer time storage unit 131B. The charge / discharge start time and discharge time stored in the second timer time storage unit 131C are read out, and a charge signal and a discharge signal are sent to the control board 54 at a predetermined timing. The charge set by the first timer If the time or discharge time overlaps with the charge time or discharge time set by the second timer, the first timer is prioritized and the charge / discharge start time stored and set in the first timer time storage unit 131B A charge signal or a discharge signal is sent to the control board 54 at a predetermined timing only at the discharge time.

  Next, the operation of the charging mode by the charging mode control instruction unit 153 will be described. In order to charge the secondary battery 38 at the user's will, the charge mode is charged during the recommended mode or timer mode operation, regardless of the charge start time or charge end time set in the recommended mode or timer mode. This is performed by pushing the button 88C.

  More specifically, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 uses a normal charging pattern for charging the secondary battery 38 at 0.2 C, for example, as a plurality of charging patterns with different charging rates for the secondary battery 38, and a normal charging pattern. In addition, the charging speed is at least twice as fast, and a quick charging pattern for charging the secondary battery 38 at 0.5 C, for example, is provided. The controller 6 includes a charging time setting unit 142 that sets the charging time of the secondary battery 38 in the normal charging pattern and stores it in the charging time storage unit 132. In the normal charging pattern, the charging time storage unit 132 is provided. In the quick charge pattern, the secondary battery 38 is charged until it is almost fully charged. Then, according to the difference in the operation input of the charging button 88C, for example, when the charging button 88C is pressed once for a short time, reception of a normal charging pattern is instructed among a plurality of charging patterns, and the charging button 88C is pressed once. When a long press operation is performed, reception of a quick charge pattern is instructed among a plurality of charge patterns.

  When the charging mode control instruction unit 153 receives the normal charging pattern in response to the operation instruction of the charging button 88C, the charging signal is sent to the control board 54 in the storage battery panel 7 so as to charge the secondary battery 38 with a predetermined charging current. Starts sending. At the same time, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 reads the charging time set and stored in the charging time storage unit 132, and the scheduled end time of charging corresponding to this charging time becomes the current time counted by the time measuring unit 122. Until the charging signal is transmitted. When the scheduled end time of charging reaches the current time, the transmission of the charging signal is terminated, and the original recommended mode or timer mode is entered. However, when receiving the quick charge pattern by pressing and holding the charge button 88C while charging the secondary battery 38 using the normal charge pattern, the charge mode control instruction unit 153 receives the quick charge pattern, and this quick charge is performed. The secondary battery 38 is charged by the pattern.

  In addition, when the charging mode control instruction unit 153 receives the rapid charging pattern by the operation instruction of the charging button 88C, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 applies the predetermined charging current to the control board 54 in the storage battery panel 7 so as to charge the secondary battery 38. Start sending the charging signal. At the same time, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 continues to send the charging signal until the actual amount of charge of the secondary battery 38 sent from the control board 54 via the control line 71 reaches almost full charge. When the actual charge amount of the secondary battery 38 reaches almost full charge, the transmission of the charge signal is terminated, and the original recommended mode or timer mode is entered.

  In the above-described series of steps, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 uses the detection signal from the first current transformer 15 while the secondary battery 38 is being charged, so that the home load L1, L2 and the storage battery system 1 are included in the home. When the total amount of current consumed in the home is larger than the contract current amount of the home read from the initial setting storage unit 135, charging by the quick charge pattern is not performed. Instead, the secondary battery 38 is charged by the normal charging pattern. Also, even when the acceptance of the quick charge pattern is instructed by operating the charge button 88C, the total current amount in the home is measured, and the total current amount consumed in the home is stored as an initial setting. If it is larger than the contract current amount of the home read from unit 135, charge mode control instruction unit 153 switches to the normal charge pattern to charge secondary battery 38, and conversely, the total current amount is equal to or less than the contract current amount. If the value is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the secondary battery 38 may be charged in a quick charge pattern. As yet another example, even when a quick charge pattern acceptance is instructed by operating the charge button 88C, the total current amount in the home is also measured and the total current amount may be larger than the contract current amount. For example, the charging mode control instruction unit 153 interrupts the charging of the secondary battery 38 according to the quick charge pattern, and when the total current amount becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value that is equal to or less than the contract current amount, The charging of the battery 38 may be resumed. In any case, it becomes possible to control the circuit breaker 11 so that the circuit breaker is not cut off by charging the secondary battery 38 by the quick charge pattern.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described normal charge pattern and quick charge pattern are provided as the plurality of charge modes having different maximum charge currents for the secondary battery 38. However, in these normal charge pattern and quick charge pattern, the secondary battery 38, based on the charging signal from the controller 6, so that the current consumption in the residential premises detected by the first current transformer 15 does not exceed the contract current read from the initial setting storage unit 135 during the charging operation of 38. The charge current to the secondary battery 38 is controlled by the conditioner 42. As a result, it is possible to prevent problems such as the contract breaker 11 dropping while the secondary battery 38 is being charged, and it is possible to control the charging of the secondary battery 38 in consideration of the contract current. In particular, in the quick charge pattern having a maximum charge current larger than that of the normal charge pattern, the secondary battery 38 is charged with the maximum charge current within the set range not exceeding the contract current. The charging time can be prevented from being prolonged more than necessary.

  In the charging operation of the secondary battery 38, in order to prevent the consumption current in the residential premises from exceeding the contract current, when the consumption current exceeds the contract current, for example, by switching the quick charge mode to the normal charge mode, The charge amount of the secondary battery 38 is decreased. Thereby, the charging current to the secondary battery 38 can be controlled so that the consumption current does not exceed the contract current without stopping the charging to the secondary battery 38. In this case, when the consumption current does not exceed the contract current, it is preferable to change again to the quick charge mode in which the charging current is maximized, and the secondary battery 38 is quickly charged, and the current consumption does not exceed the contract current. Thus, it is possible to prevent the charging time of the secondary battery 38 from being prolonged as much as possible.

  As another example, when the current consumption exceeds the contract current, the charging signal transmission may be interrupted, and the charging of the secondary battery 38 may be stopped until the current consumption does not exceed the contract current. Can control the charging current to the secondary battery 38 so that the consumption current does not quickly exceed the contract current.

  The storage unit 123 including the initial set value storage unit 135 is provided on the control board 98 in the controller 6 together with the controller control unit 121 including a CPU and the like. After the controller control unit 121 and the storage unit 123, which are substantial control units of the controller 6, are provided in the same controller 6, the controller control unit 121 quickly reads and calculates the information stored in the storage unit 123. The charge signal and the discharge signal can be sent to the power conditioner 42. As a result, high-speed processing is realized.

  When the normal charging pattern is reached, the display control unit 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. 23 is performed. Here, in particular, in addition to displaying that the operation is in the normal charge pattern by the alert display unit 87M with the characters “in normal operation”, the charge time stored in the charge time storage unit 132 is charged / discharged. It is displayed on the time display part 87F. For example, in FIG. 23, the set charging time is “3 hours”, and charging / discharging time display section 87F displays that charging is performed between “12:34” and “15:34”.

  Next, the operation of the discharge mode by the discharge mode control instruction unit 154 will be described. In order to forcibly discharge the secondary battery 38 at the user's will, the discharge mode does not depend on the discharge start time or discharge end time set in the recommended mode or timer mode. This is performed by pushing the discharge button 88D.

  More specifically, the controller 6 sets the remaining amount setting value of the secondary battery 38 and discharges the discharge time by the battery remaining amount setting unit 144 as a remaining amount setting unit to be stored in the remaining battery amount storage unit 134 and the timer. A timer time setting unit 143 as a timer discharge time setting means set by a start time and a discharge end time, and a discharge button 88D as a button for instructing discharge start are provided. For example, the discharge start time and the discharge end time set and stored in the first timer time storage unit 131B are read out by the unit 151 and the timer mode control instruction unit 156, and the control line is controlled from the control board 54 during the discharge between the discharge times. 71, the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 sent via 71 is set to the remaining amount set value read from the remaining battery amount storage unit 134. Until bottom, while continuing the delivery of the discharge signal, the actual remaining capacity of the rechargeable battery 38 becomes the remaining set value, to terminate the delivery of the discharge signal. This is as described in the recommendation mode and the timer mode.

  On the other hand, the discharge mode by the discharge mode control instructing unit 154 is started by pressing the discharge button 88D, and the discharge time set and stored in the discharge time storage unit 134 is read, and the discharge corresponding to this discharge time is read out. The discharge signal is continuously sent until the scheduled end time reaches the current time counted by the timer unit 122. When the scheduled end time of the discharge becomes the current time, the transmission of the discharge signal is terminated, and the original recommended mode or timer mode is entered.

  That is, in this discharge mode, the discharge button 88D is operated even when the remaining amount is reduced to the remaining amount set value of the secondary battery 38 regardless of the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38. Thus, the secondary battery 38 is forced for a predetermined time until the actual remaining amount reaches the lower limit use limit value after the remaining amount is lower than the remaining amount set value of the secondary battery 38 or the secondary battery 38 is used up. Can be discharged electrically.

  As an exception, when the discharge mode control instruction unit 154 determines that the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 has reached the lower limit use limit value of the secondary battery 38, the discharge mode control instruction unit 154 stores it in the discharge time storage unit 133. Transmission of the discharge signal is stopped regardless of the discharge time set and stored. Further, if the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 has already reached the lower limit use limit value of the secondary battery 38 at the time when the discharge button 88D is operated, the discharge signal itself is not sent. By doing in this way, the bad effect by discharging the secondary battery 38 more than necessary can be prevented.

  In the discharge mode, the display unit control means 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. 24 is performed. Here, in particular, in addition to displaying on the operation display unit 87E that power consumption is being performed from the secondary battery 38 to the in-house loads L1, L2, the discharge time stored and stored in the discharge time storage unit 133 is: It is displayed on the charge / discharge time display part 87F. For example, in FIG. 24, the set discharge time is “3 hours”, and the fact that the discharge is performed between “12:34” and “15:34” is displayed on the charge / discharge time display portion 87F.

  Next, the assist mode operation by the assist mode control instruction unit 155 will be described. In the assist mode, for example, when the amount of power used by the residential loads L1 and L2 temporarily increases in the morning, the secondary battery 38 is discharged only for a predetermined time, and the residential load is discharged from the secondary battery 38. In this mode, the amount of power supplied to L1 and L2 is temporarily increased. This starts when the assist button 88B of the first operation unit 88 is pushed during operation in the recommendation mode or the timer mode.

  More specifically, when the assist mode control instruction unit 155 starts the assist mode, the assist mode control instruction unit 155 does not immediately send a discharge signal to the control board 54 of the storage battery panel 7 but instead of a certain time (for example, 30 minutes) after the assist button 88B is operated. After that, the operation of the assist button 88B is accepted and transmission of the discharge signal is started, and the secondary battery 38 is discharged by continuing to transmit the discharge signal until a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) elapses therefrom. . That is, the amount of power used by the loads L1 and L2 in the house actually increases after a certain time has elapsed since the user got up. Therefore, if the assist button 88B is operated immediately after getting up, the load in the house Necessary electric power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 in accordance with an increase in power consumption of L1 and L2. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the transmission of the discharge signal is terminated, and the original recommended mode or timer mode is entered.

  In the assist mode of the present embodiment, the time when the assist button 88B is operated is stored in the operation time storage unit 136 by the assist mode control instruction unit 155 in the operation time storage unit 136 of the storage unit 123 each time. Based on the time, the secondary battery 38 can be discharged for a predetermined time at a predetermined time. For example, it is assumed that the times of the last three days stored in the operation time storage unit 136 are (am) 7:45, 7:15, and 7:30. The predetermined time in this case may be 7:30, which is the average of the most recent three days, or may be 7:15, which is the time when the assist button 88B is operated earliest. In any case, since the secondary battery 38 is discharged in the assist mode for a predetermined time at the predetermined time based on the operation time of the assist button 88B until then, the amount of power consumed by the loads L1 and L2 in the house is increased. In addition, the necessary power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 without operating the assist button 88B each time.

  During the operation in the assist mode, the current value used in the home (in the residential premises) is measured by the current transformer 15, and the assist mode control instruction unit 155 pushes the assist button 88 </ b> B to use this current value. In order to discharge the secondary battery 38 from when the value exceeds a predetermined value, a discharge signal may be sent for a predetermined time. For example, if the contract current is 50 A and the actual use current value is 20 A, the discharge signal is not sent in the assist mode, and when the predetermined value is 50 A, the discharge signal is sent from there for a predetermined time. Power is supplied from the next battery 38.

  As another example, the assist mode control instructing unit 155 indicates that the use current value detected by the first current transformer 15 has a predetermined value within a predetermined time after the assist button 88B is pressed or by a preset time. If it exceeds, the secondary battery 38 may be discharged. For example, if the actual use current value exceeds 50 A within one hour, which is a predetermined time after the assist button 88B is pressed, a discharge signal is sent only during that time, and the power from the secondary battery 38 is Supply.

  This is in consideration of the fact that the peak of the electric energy used by the loads L1 and L2 in the house does not actually occur immediately after the user wakes up, and the assist mode control instruction unit 155 is provided with such a function. Thus, the necessary power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 after the peak of the amount of power used by the in-house loads L1 and L2 approaches.

  Further, the assist mode control instruction unit 155 having such a function can read the contract power amount set and stored in the initial set value storage unit 135 and discharge the power exceeding the contract power amount from the secondary battery 38. Such a discharge signal is transmitted. As a result, even when the in-house loads L1 and L2 become used power exceeding the contracted electric energy, the secondary battery 38 can be prevented from supplying power to the in-house loads L1 and L2 more than necessary.

  Further, the assist mode control instruction unit 155 in the present embodiment discharges the secondary battery 38 so that 3 kVA, which is a normal rated output, can be discharged when the current value in the home exceeds a predetermined value. It has a function to send a signal. In this way, the electric power necessary for the in-house loads L1, L2 can be supplemented by the rated output of the secondary battery 38 after the peak of the amount of power used by the in-house loads L1, L2 approaches.

  In addition, as a structural feature, the controller 6 of this embodiment is provided with a door 85 as an openable / closable cover that can be opened and closed with respect to the housing 84, and is located inside the door 85 and covered with the door 85. While the second operation unit 89 for various setting functions is provided, the assist button 88B constituting the first operation unit 88 is provided at a location that is not covered by the door 85 even when the door 85 is closed. Therefore, when the amount of power used for the in-house loads L1 and L2 increases, the assist button 88B can be operated immediately without having to bother to open the door 85. Such an effect can be applied to the other buttons of the first operation unit 88.

  In the assist mode, the display control unit 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. Here, in particular, in addition to displaying the power consumption in the assist mode from the secondary battery 38 to the in-house loads L1, L2, the operation display unit 87E displays the discharge time in the assist mode as a charge / discharge time display. This is displayed on the part 87F. For example, in FIG. 25, the discharge time in the assist mode is “1 hour”, and the fact that the discharge is performed between “11:00” and “12:00” is displayed on the charge / discharge time display portion 87F.

  Next, the operation in the power failure independent operation mode by the power failure mode control instruction unit 152 will be described. The power failure self-sustained operation mode is a mode in which when the information indicating that the power failure of the system S has occurred via the control line 71 from the control board 54 side, the operation is automatically started to cause the storage battery system 1 to operate independently.

  As described above, when a transition to the power failure self-sustained operation mode occurs at the time of a power failure, the power failure switching unit 43 is switched to an off state by a control signal from the control board 54, and the storage battery panel 7 having the secondary battery 38 and the system S are linked. To prevent the power from flowing backward to the grid S. In addition, the control board 54 switches the second switch 79 from off to on when charging the secondary battery 38 with AC 100 V supplied from the solar power generation system 18 via the third power supply line 52. Furthermore, in order to apply AC100V from the auxiliary power line 22 to the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 or to supply AC100V from the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 to the residential load L2, the switching relay 56 is turned on. At the same time as switching to OFF, the switching relay 57 is switched from OFF to ON. When a power failure occurs, the power supply through the AC / DC conversion circuit 59 is cut off, but the power from the secondary battery 38 is applied from the operation power supply unit 55 to the noise filter 66 to continue the storage battery control unit 39 or An operating voltage can be supplied to the controller 6.

  The power failure mode control instruction unit 152 acquires information on the power supply amount from the photovoltaic power generation system 21 from the control board 54 via the control line 71 in the power failure independent operation mode. When it is determined that the secondary battery 38 can be charged from the solar power generation system 21, a charging signal is sent to the control board 54, while the house connected from the secondary battery 38 to the second distribution board 5. When it is determined that backup power supply is necessary for the load L2, a discharge signal is sent to the control board 54. When a charging signal is transmitted at the time of a power failure, AC100V from the photovoltaic power generation system 21 is transmitted in the order of the auxiliary power line 22 → the second power line 17 → the third power supply line 52, and is converted into DC power by the power conversion unit 53. Then, it is supplied to the secondary battery 38. Further, when a discharge signal is sent at the time of a power failure, the DC power stored in the secondary battery 38 is converted into AC power by the power converter 53, and from there, the third power supply line 52 → second power supply line 17 → second supply AC 100V is supplied to the residential load L2 via the electric wire 31. However, since the power failure switching unit 43 is in an off state at the time of a power failure, the in-house load L1 connected to the first distribution board 4 is cut off and cannot be used.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the rated output from the secondary battery 38 in the power failure self-sustained operation mode is less than the rated output from the secondary battery 38 in the case of cooperation with the system S, and preferably 2/3 or less. Thus, the discharge control of the secondary battery 38 by the power failure mode control instruction unit 152 is performed. The reason is that the rated output from the secondary battery 38 is reduced at the time of a power failure to enable long-term use with respect to the residential load L2, while the normal operation from the secondary battery 38 is linked to the system S. This is because the rated output can be increased, a large amount of power can be used at once for the residential loads L1, L2, and a large number of peak shifts can be accommodated by using up the secondary battery 38 in a short time.

  In addition, the power failure mode control instruction unit 152 forces the secondary battery 38 even when the remaining amount has decreased to the remaining amount set value of the secondary battery 38 regardless of the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38. Discharge. However, when it is determined that the actual remaining amount of the secondary battery 38 has reached the lower limit use limit value of the secondary battery 38, the sending of the discharge signal is stopped there.

  Thus, while the power failure continues, the power failure mode control instruction unit 152 continues to send the discharge signal until the secondary battery 38 is used up. However, when the power supply from the system S resumes and the power returns, the power failure independent operation The mode ends and the discharge signal transmission stops. Here, the control board 54 switches the power failure switching unit 43 from off to on, links the storage battery panel 7 and the system S, switches the second switch 79 from on to off, AC power is supplied from the third power supply line 19 to the first power supply line 8. Furthermore, in order to apply AC200V from the second power supply line 17 to the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 or to supply AC200V from the DC / AC conversion circuit 61 to the second power supply line 17, a switching relay 56 is provided. At the same time as switching from off to on, the switching relay 57 is switched from on to off, and the operation of the storage battery system 1 is resumed.

  In the power failure operation self-sustained mode, the display control unit 127 controls the display unit 87 so that the display as shown in FIG. 26 is performed. Here, for example, while charging the secondary battery 38 with the electric power from the solar power generation system 21 (“PV”), the power consumption is performed from the solar power generation system 21 to the loads L1 and L2 in the house. Displayed on the operation display section 87E. Moreover, it displays on the alert display part 87M that the storage battery system 1 is interlock | cooperating with HEMS apparatuses, such as the photovoltaic power generation system 21. FIG.

  Further, as a preferable example, in addition to the automatic self-sustained operation that automatically starts the self-sustained operation of the storage battery panel 7 at the time of a power failure as described above, the storage battery panel 7 does not automatically start the self-sustained operation at the time of a power failure. The power failure mode control instructing unit 152 is provided with both operation patterns of manual self-sustained operation for starting the self-sustained operation of the storage battery panel 7 by performing manual operation such as pushing the The storage battery system 1 may be configured so that any one of a self-sustained operation and a manual self-sustained operation can be selected and set. In this case, after switching to automatic self-sustained operation, it is possible to select and set again to manual self-sustained operation in a specific procedure different from normal. It is preferable to select and set automatic self-sustaining operation again in the procedure. The specific procedure that is different from the normal procedure described here includes an operation that is different from the operation of short-pressing or long-pressing only one button 88A to 88D or 89A to 89F, or inputting a password using the buttons 89A to 89F. means. Specifically, for example, when the storage battery system 1 is temporarily turned off and the operation on / off button 89F is pushed while simultaneously pressing the recommendation button 88A and the assist button 88B, or by the operation from the second operation unit 89. When the password is input and the entered password matches the set password stored in advance in the storage unit 132, for example, the power failure operation setting menu can be selected from the display form shown in FIG. do it.

  Next, an initial setting after the storage battery system 1 is installed will be described. After all the storage battery systems 1 are installed in the residential premises, the initial setting values are input and stored using the controller 6 installed indoors. In order to operate the initial setting value setting unit 145, the “initial value setting” menu is displayed in the black and white reversed state in the display form of the display unit 87 shown in FIG. 14, and the enter button 89B is pushed. Good. In order to set the initial setting value by the initial setting value setting unit 145, the first operation unit 88 and the second operation unit 89 are different from normal button operations so that the user cannot easily perform the initial setting value. Or by operating a switch (not shown) arranged in a place where the controller 6 cannot be operated normally.

  The parameters that are set and stored in the initial setting value storage unit 135 using the initial setting value setting unit 145 are the first control setting value that differs for each electric power company that owns the grid S, and for each home that contracts with the electric power company. It is roughly divided into different second control set values.

  Examples of the first control set value include an OVR (overvoltage protection relay) setting value that is the voltage upper limit value of the system S, and an overvoltage protection relay when the actual voltage of the system S rises above the voltage upper limit value of the system S. When the OVR settling time until the system is operated, the UVR (undervoltage protection relay) settling value that is the voltage lower limit value of the system S, or the actual voltage of the system S falls below the voltage lower limit value of the system S, the undervoltage When the UVR settling time until the protection relay is operated, the OFR (frequency increase relay) settling value that is the frequency upper limit value of the system S, or the actual frequency of the system S rises above the frequency upper limit value of the system S, the frequency When the OFR settling time until the ascending relay is operated, the UFR (frequency lowering relay) settling value that is the frequency lower limit value of the system S, or the actual frequency of the system S is lower than the frequency limit value of the system S , The UFR settling time until the frequency lowering relay is operated, the voltage rise restraint set value that is the voltage rise restraint voltage value of the system S, and the time from the end of the power failure to the operation of the storage battery system 1 after the power failure It is a recovery timer setting time after a certain power recovery or a frequency setting value that is a commercial frequency of the system S. Further, examples of the second control set value are values of the contract power amount and the contract current amount respectively determined in each home.

  The initial setting value storage unit 135 stores and saves initial values for each of the above values in advance. If necessary, the initial value can be changed to another value using the first operation unit 88 or the second operation unit 89. It can be changed to. As an example, the initial value of the first control set value is an OVR set value of 115 V, an OVR set time of 1.0 s, a UVR set value of 80 V, and a UVR set time of 1.0 s, The OFR set value is 51.0 Hz or 61.0 Hz depending on the frequency set value, the OFR set time is 1.0 s, and the UFR set value is 48.5 Hz or 58.5 Hz depending on the frequency set value. Yes, the UFR settling time is 1.0 s, the voltage rise suppression settling value is 108 V, the recovery timer settling time after power recovery is 150 s, and the frequency settling value is 50 Hz.

  The initial set value setting unit 145 constitutes the power conditioner 42 as well as the initial set value storage unit 135 of the storage unit 132 provided in the controller 6 for the first control set value and the second control set value. The setting is also stored in the initial setting storage unit 161 of the control board 54. The initial setting storage unit 161 is provided as a backup during maintenance inspection. For example, when one of the control boards 54 and 98 is replaced, the first control remaining in one of the initial setting value storage units 135 and 161 is provided. The set value and the second control set value can be reused.

  Next, the effect | action at the time of the maintenance inspection of the storage battery system 1 is demonstrated. During maintenance and inspection, the operation on / off button 89F is pushed to stop the operation of the storage battery system 1, and then the cutting machine 47 is manually operated to prevent an unexpected electric shock by the storage battery modules MDL1 to MDL6. The serial line 46 is cut. When the detection signal from the cutting machine 47 at this time is sent to the storage battery control unit 39, the storage battery control unit 39 turns off the switches 48 and 49 and disconnects the secondary battery 38 from the system S. Further, the maintenance switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF by the control signal given from the storage battery control unit 39 to the control board 54, and the storage battery panel 7 is disconnected from the system S. From this state, for example, any of the battery cell management modules CMU1 to CMU6 constituting the secondary battery 38 can be replaced as necessary.

  Note that the electrical connection between the second distribution board 5 and the storage battery board 7 is cut off due to the maintenance switch 44 being turned off during maintenance inspection. AC100V cannot be supplied from the panel 5 to the residential load L2 via the storage battery panel 7. Therefore, by using a switching circuit 29 as a switching device provided in the second distribution board 5, the first power supply 17 is not supplied from the second distribution board 5 via the storage battery board 7, but from the AC 200 V of the second power line 17. AC100V can be supplied to the residential load L2 via the electric wire 30. Specifically, this is achieved by operating the operating body 32 to turn the contact 33 from off to on and the contact 34 from on to off, and the house load L2 can be used even during maintenance inspection.

  As described above, the storage battery system 1 of the present embodiment recognizes the state of the secondary battery 38 that receives power supply from the system S together with the in-house loads L1 and L2 in the residential premises, A storage battery control unit 39 that controls the secondary battery 38, a power conditioner 42 as a charge / discharge control unit that controls charge / discharge of the secondary battery 38, and charge / discharge start of the secondary battery 38, for example, And a controller 6 as a setting unit for setting various parameters such as an end time. The power conditioner 42 is driven and controlled by a signal from the controller 6 or the storage battery control unit 39, and a specific input is input to the power conditioner 42. As an apparatus, an assist button 88B is provided. When the assist button 88B is operated, a discharge signal from the controller 6 is displayed. The power conditioner 42 which receives the, has a configuration in which a secondary battery 38 to perform a predetermined time discharge.

  In this case, even when the amount of power used from the system S to the residential loads L1, L2 temporarily increases, the secondary battery 38 is discharged for a predetermined time simply by operating the assist button 88B. Thus, the amount of power supplied to the residential load L2 can be increased. Therefore, even if the contract power amount with the system S is set according to the normal use amount, it is possible to cope with the contract breaker 11 not immediately dropping when the use power increases only in a specific time zone. The storage battery system 1 can be provided.

  Further, when the assist button 88B is operated before the predetermined time elapses, the controller 6 accepts the operation of the assist button 88B and continuously discharges from the secondary battery 38 until the predetermined time elapses. have.

In this case, if the assist button 88B is operated before the predetermined time elapses, the operation of the assist button 88B can be accepted and the secondary battery 38 can be continuously discharged until the predetermined time elapses .

  In addition, the controller 6 includes an operation time storage unit 136 that is a storage unit that stores the time when the assist button 88B is operated, and at a predetermined time based on a plurality of times stored in the operation time storage unit 136. In this case, the secondary battery 38 is discharged for a predetermined time.

  In this case, since the secondary battery 38 is discharged in the assist mode for a predetermined time at a predetermined time based on the operation time of the assist button 88B so far, the power consumption of the residential loads L1 and L2 is increased. Thus, the necessary power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 without operating the assist button 88B each time.

  Further, as a detection unit for measuring a current value used in the home, the first current transformer 15 is provided, and when the assist button 88B is operated, the measured value detected by the first current transformer 15 exceeds a predetermined value. The secondary battery 38 is configured to discharge for a predetermined time.

  In this case, the necessary power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 after the peak of the amount of power used by the residential loads L1 and L2 approaches.

  Instead, the secondary battery 38 is discharged only while the measured value detected by the first current transformer 15 exceeds the predetermined value within a predetermined time after operating the assist button 88B or by a preset time. It is good also as a structure to perform.

  Also in this case, the necessary power can be supplemented from the secondary battery 38 after the peak of the power consumption amount of the in-house loads L1 and L2 approaches.
