  By the way, in the event of an emergency such as a power failure, it is assumed that the storage battery is used as an emergency power source and various electric loads in the building are operated by the stored power of the storage battery. Therefore, it is desirable to always ensure a certain amount of electric power (amount of stored electricity) in the storage battery in preparation for such emergency use.

  However, if a certain amount of electricity is stored in the storage battery, the certain amount cannot be used when power is supplied from the storage battery to the electric load. Therefore, there is a possibility that the economic effect due to the use of the stored power cannot be sufficiently obtained.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and makes it the main objective to provide the electric power feeding system of a building which can fully acquire the economic effect by use of stored electric power.

  In order to solve the above problems, a power supply system for a building according to a first aspect of the present invention stores at least one of commercial power supplied from a commercial power source and generated power generated by a solar panel as stored power and stores the stored power. The building storage battery capable of supplying power to the electrical load in the building and the power supply to the electrical load by the building storage battery are controlled so that the storage amount of the building storage battery does not fall below a predetermined lower limit setting value. A power supply system for a building comprising a power supply control means, capable of connecting a vehicle equipped with an in-vehicle storage battery, and capable of supplying stored electric power of the in-vehicle storage battery to the electric load in a state where the vehicle is connected Means for determining whether or not the vehicle is connected to the power supply means, and the vehicle is connected to the power supply means by the connection determination means. If it is determined that there is not, the first set value is set as the lower limit set value, and if it is determined that the vehicle is connected to the power supply means, the lower limit set value is determined from the first set value. And setting means for setting a second setting value that is smaller than the first setting value.

  In a configuration in which power supply means is provided adjacent to (or in the building), when a vehicle is connected to the power supply means, electric power (accumulated power) from a vehicle storage battery (vehicle storage battery) to an electrical load in the building. Electric power) can be supplied. Therefore, in this case, since an in-vehicle storage battery can be used for power supply to an electrical load in the event of an emergency such as a power failure, the minimum amount of electricity stored in the building storage battery should be reduced accordingly. Is possible.

  Therefore, in the present invention, paying attention to this point, the lower limit setting value of the storage amount in the building storage battery is set based on whether or not the vehicle is connected to the power supply means. Specifically, when the vehicle is connected to the power supply means, the lower limit set value is set smaller than when the vehicle is not connected. Thereby, when the vehicle is connected to the power supply means, it is possible to use a large amount of the stored power of the building storage battery, so that it is possible to sufficiently obtain an economic effect by using the stored power.

  Examples of the stored power stored in the building storage battery include inexpensive commercial power (midnight power) supplied from a commercial power source at midnight (night time), and power generated by a solar panel.

  In the building power supply system according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first invention, the power supply means charges the vehicle storage battery with power supplied from at least one of the commercial power supply and the building storage battery. It has a function.

  In the present invention, the power supply means with a charging function capable of charging the vehicle is applied to the first invention. In this case, it is possible to obtain an advantage that the lower limit set value of the amount of power stored in the building storage battery can be reduced by charging the vehicle storage battery using such a charging function.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a building power supply system according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, further comprising an acquisition unit configured to acquire a storage amount of the in-vehicle storage battery. The second set value is set based on the amount of power stored in the in-vehicle storage battery acquired by the acquisition means when it is determined that the connection is established.

  According to the present invention, the second set value (lower limit set value) of the building storage battery is set according to the storage amount of the in-vehicle storage battery. In this case, when the amount of power stored in the in-vehicle storage battery is large, it is possible to use more of the stored power of the storage battery by setting the second setting value (lower limit setting value) of the building storage battery to a smaller value accordingly. Become. This makes it possible to obtain more economic effects from the use of stored power.

  In the building power supply system according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, when the second set value is set as the lower limit set value, the storage amount of the building storage battery is It is characterized by comprising a notification control means for executing a predetermined notification process when it falls below the first set value.

  When the second set value is set as the lower limit set value of the building storage battery (in other words, when the vehicle is connected to the power supply means), the storage amount of the building storage battery falls below the first set value. However, if the vehicle is disconnected from the power supply means during the power supply, the amount of electricity stored in the building storage battery is the lower limit set value (first set value). This will cause a situation in which emergency power is not secured. Therefore, in view of this point, in the present invention, when the second set value is set as the lower limit set value, a predetermined notification process is executed when the storage amount of the building storage battery falls below the first set value. It is said. In this case, when the user cancels the connection of the vehicle, it is possible to take measures such as charging and then releasing until the amount of power stored in the building storage battery is equal to or higher than the first set value. It is possible to avoid a situation where power for time is not secured.

  In a building power supply system according to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the connection determination unit determines that the vehicle is not connected to the power supply unit, and the storage battery of the building When the amount falls below the first set value, the replenishment means for charging the building storage battery until the amount of stored electricity becomes equal to or higher than the first set value is provided.

  As described above, when the vehicle is connected to the power supply means, power can be supplied from the storage battery to the electric load even if the storage amount of the building storage battery falls below the first set value. When the vehicle is disconnected from the power supply means, the amount of electricity stored in the building storage battery is below the lower limit set value (first set value). Therefore, in the present invention, when such a situation occurs, the storage battery is charged by the replenishing means until the amount of power stored in the building storage battery becomes equal to or higher than the first set value. As a result, even if the amount of electricity stored in the building storage battery falls below the lower limit set value (first set value) due to vehicle disconnection, the building storage battery is subsequently charged to secure the amount of electricity stored. It is possible to avoid leaving the power without being secured.

That is, whether or not the commercial power from the commercial power source is supplied to each electric load L in the building 10 is controlled by opening and closing the shut-off device 36.

  Next, a battery control process executed by the controller 45 of the power storage device 20 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the battery control process. This process is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.

  As shown in FIG. 3, first, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the present time is a midnight time zone. If the current time is in the midnight time zone, the process proceeds to step S12 to execute the battery charging process. On the other hand, if the current time is not a midnight time zone, that is, if it is a daytime time zone, the process proceeds to step S13 to execute a battery power supply process. After the process of step S12 or step S13 is complete | finished, this process is complete | finished.

  Next, the battery charging process in step S12 and the battery power supply process in step S13 will be described. First, the battery charging process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the battery charging process.

  As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S <b> 21, it is determined whether the residential battery 21 is fully charged based on the storage amount information from the storage amount sensor 46. When the residential battery 21 is not fully charged, the process proceeds to step S22, and the residential battery 21 is charged. In this case, by closing the shut-off device 38, commercial power (midnight power) is supplied from the distribution board 11 to the residential battery 21. As a result, the residential battery 21 is charged by cheap midnight power. In the midnight time zone, the shut-off device 36 is normally closed, and commercial power (midnight power) is always supplied from the commercial power source to the distribution board 11. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the residential battery 21 is fully charged, the process proceeds to step S23, and the charging of the residential battery 21 is stopped. In this case, the power supply from the distribution board 11 to the residential battery 21 is shut off by opening the shut-off device 38. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  Next, the battery power supply process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing battery power supply processing.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S <b> 31, the storage amount of the residential battery 21 is acquired based on the detection result from the storage amount sensor 46.

  In subsequent step S <b> 32, based on the detection result from the connection detection sensor 29, it is determined whether or not the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27 via the charging cable 28. If the automobile 30 is not connected to the charging device 27, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, the first set value is set as the lower limit set value. Here, when the residential battery 21 is used as an emergency power source, and more specifically, when only the residential battery 21 is used as an emergency power source, the first set value needs to be secured to the battery 21 as a minimum. Is set to a certain amount of electricity stored. The first set value is stored in advance in the storage unit of the controller 45, and the first set value is read from the storage unit and set.

  In step S34, it is determined whether the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is equal to or less than the first set value. When the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is larger than the first set value, the process proceeds to step S35, and the stored power in the residential battery 21 is supplied to each electric load L in the building 10 via the distribution board 11. . In this case, by closing the shut-off device 39, power supply from the residential battery 21 to the distribution board 11 is permitted (implemented).

  In subsequent step S36, the supply of the commercial power from the commercial power supply to each electric load L is stopped. In this case, the power supply from the commercial power source to the distribution board 11 is shut off by opening the shut-off device 36. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  In the previous step S34, when the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is equal to or less than the first set value, the process proceeds to step S37, and power supply to each electric load L is stopped for the stored power of the residential battery 21. In this case, the power supply from the residential battery 21 to the distribution board 11 is shut off by opening the shut-off device 39.

  In the subsequent step S38, commercial power supplied from a commercial power source is supplied to each electric load L via the distribution board 11. In this case, power supply from the commercial power source to the distribution board 11 is permitted by closing the shut-off device 36.

  In step S39, it is determined whether or not the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is smaller than the first set value. If the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is the same as the first set value, this process ends. On the other hand, when the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is smaller than the first set value, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S40, a replenishment process is executed. In the replenishment process, the battery 21 is charged until the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 reaches the first set value. In this case, the power supply from the distribution board 11 to the residential battery 21 is permitted (implemented) by closing the shut-off device 38. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  When it is determined in step S32 described above that the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, the process proceeds to step S41, and a request signal is transmitted from the communication unit 45a to the ECU 33 of the automobile 30. In this case, when this request signal is received by the ECU 33, the ECU 33 transmits the storage amount information of the in-vehicle battery 31 to the controller 45.

  In continuing step S42, the electrical storage amount of the vehicle-mounted battery 31 is acquired by receiving the electrical storage amount information transmitted from ECU33 by the communication part 45a.

  In step S43, the second set value is set as the lower limit set value. Here, the second set value is a value obtained by subtracting the charged amount of the in-vehicle battery 31 from the first set value (second set value = first set value−the charged amount of the in-vehicle battery 31). The value is smaller than the set value. In this step, the first set value is read from the storage unit of the controller 45, the difference between the read first set value and the charged amount of the in-vehicle battery 31 is calculated, and the calculated difference is set as the second set value. To do.

  In step S44, it is determined whether or not the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is smaller than the first set value. If the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is greater than or equal to the first set value, the process proceeds to step S49, and the stored power in the residential battery 21 is supplied to each electric load L in the building 10. In this case, by closing the shut-off device 39, power supply from the residential battery 21 to the distribution board 11 is permitted (implemented).

  In subsequent step S50, the supply of the commercial power from the commercial power supply to each electric load L is stopped. In this case, the power supply from the commercial power source to the distribution board 11 is shut off by opening the shut-off device 36. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  In step S44, when the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is smaller than the first set value, the process proceeds to step S45, and a notification process is executed. In the notification process, by outputting a notification signal to the notification unit 47, the notification unit 47 notifies the user that the amount of power stored in the residential battery 21 has fallen below the first set value. In this case, for example, the notification is performed by outputting a buzzer sound from the notification unit 47. As a result, when the user releases the connection of the automobile 30 to the charging device 27, it is possible to take a countermeasure such as charging after the charge amount of the residential battery 21 is equal to or higher than the first set value and then releasing it. It becomes possible.

  Note that the user can charge the battery 21 for home use by operating an operation unit provided in the power storage device 20, for example. In this case, based on the operation of the operation unit, the shut-off device 38 is closed, and power is supplied from the distribution board 11 to the residential battery 21.

  In continuing step S46, it is determined whether the electrical storage amount of the residential battery 21 is below a 2nd setting value. When the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is larger than the second set value, the stored power in the residential battery 21 is supplied to each electric load L in the building 10 (step S49), and the commercial power from the commercial power source is supplied. Is stopped from being supplied to each electric load L (step S50). Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the amount of electricity stored in the residential battery 21 is equal to or less than the second set value, the process proceeds to step S47, and the supply of the stored power of the residential battery 21 to each electric load L is stopped. In this case, the power supply from the residential battery 21 to the distribution board 11 is shut off by opening the shut-off device 39.

  In the subsequent step S48, commercial power from a commercial power source is supplied to each electric load L. In this case, power supply from the commercial power source to the distribution board 11 is permitted by closing the shut-off device 36. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  When the battery power supply process is performed, the shut-off device 37 is normally closed so that the power generated by the solar panel 15 is always supplied to the residential battery 21. Therefore, when the battery power supply process is performed, the residential battery 21 is always charged by the power generated by the solar panel 15 (except when it cannot generate power, such as in rainy weather).

  As mentioned above, according to the structure of this embodiment explained in full detail, the following outstanding effects are acquired.

  By the way, in the electric power feeding system of the said embodiment, when the motor vehicle 30 is connected to the charging device 27, it becomes possible to supply the electrical storage electric power stored in the vehicle-mounted battery 31 to the electric load L in the building 10. FIG. Yes. Therefore, in such a configuration, if the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, the in-vehicle battery 31 can also be used for power supply to the electric load L in the event of an emergency such as a power failure. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the minimum amount of power storage to be secured.

  Therefore, in the above embodiment, paying attention to this point, it is determined whether or not the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, and based on the determination result, the lower limit setting value of the storage amount in the residential battery 21. It was set. Specifically, when the automobile 30 is not connected to the charging device 27, the first set value is set as the lower limit setting value. When the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, the lower limit setting value is set. As a result, a second set value smaller than the first set value was set. Thereby, when the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, it is possible to use a large amount of the stored power of the residential battery 21, so that it is possible to sufficiently obtain an economic effect due to the use of the stored power. Become.

  Since the charging device 27 capable of charging the automobile 30 is used as a feeding means for feeding the electric load L from the automobile 30 (onboard battery 31), the onboard battery 31 is charged, so that the residential battery 21 can be charged accordingly. It is possible to obtain an advantage that the lower limit set value of the amount of stored electricity can be reduced.

  When the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, the storage amount of the in-vehicle battery 31 is acquired, and the second set value as the lower limit setting value is set based on the acquired storage amount of the in-vehicle battery 31. In this case, when the amount of power stored in the in-vehicle battery 31 is large, it is possible to use more of the stored power of the storage battery by setting the lower limit set value of the residential battery 21 small accordingly. Thereby, it becomes possible to obtain more economic effects by using the stored power.

  When the second set value is set as the lower limit set value, the notification process by the notification unit 47 is performed when the stored amount of the residential battery 21 falls below the first set value. In this case, when the user cancels the connection of the automobile 30 to the charging device 27, it is possible to take measures such as charging before the stored amount of the residential battery 21 is equal to or higher than the first set value and then canceling. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the amount of power stored in the residential battery 21 falls below the first set value (lower limit set value) when the automobile 30 is disconnected. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where emergency power is not secured.

  When it is determined that the automobile 30 is not connected to the charging device 27 and the stored amount of the residential battery 21 is lower than the first set value, the residential battery 21 is stored until the stored amount reaches the first set value. To charge. In this case, even if the storage amount of the residential battery 21 falls below the lower limit set value (first set value) due to the disconnection of the automobile 30, the residential battery 21 is charged thereafter to secure the stored amount. It can be avoided that emergency power is not secured.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

  In the above embodiment, when the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, the second set value (lower limit set value) is set based on the amount of electricity stored in the in-vehicle battery 31, but the electricity storage in the in-vehicle battery 31 is not necessarily performed. There is no need to set the second set value based on the amount. For example, when the automobile 30 is connected to the charging device 27, a predetermined fixed value may be set as the second setting value. However, also in this case, the second set value is set as a value smaller than the first set value.

  In the above embodiment, in the replenishment process (step S40), the battery 21 is charged so that the stored amount of the residential battery 21 becomes the first set value, but the stored amount of the residential battery 21 is the first. The battery 21 may be charged so as to be larger than the set value.

  In the above embodiment, when the second set value is set as the lower limit set value, the notification process (step S45) is performed when the stored amount of the residential battery 21 falls below the first set value. The notification process may not be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the charging device 27 capable of charging the automobile 30 is used as the power supply means, but it is not always necessary to use a power supply means having a charging function. That is, as a power supply means, a power supply unit having only a power supply function for supplying the stored power of the automobile 30 (vehicle battery 31) to the building 10 side may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the residential battery 21 is charged using both the late-night power and the generated power of the solar panel 15, but the residential battery 21 is charged using only one of these powers. You may go.

  In the above embodiment, the shut-off device 36 is provided in the connection portion of the power transmission line 12 with the distribution board 11, and the shut-off devices 37 to 39 are provided in the power storage device 20, but these shut-off devices 36 to 39 are collectively included. You may make it provide in one apparatus (inside a housing | casing). In this case, these shut-off devices 36 to 39 may be provided in the power storage device 20 or may be provided in a device different from the power storage device 20.

  In the above embodiment, a hybrid vehicle is used as the vehicle 30 (vehicle) that supplies power to the building 10 side, but an electric vehicle (EV) may be used. The vehicle that supplies power to the building 10 side is not limited to a passenger car, and may be a truck, a motorcycle, or the like.
