- FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a conventional distributed power supply system disclosed in Patent Document 1.
- the distributed power system 103 includes a fuel cell device 104 as a distributed power device, and the fuel cell device 104 is connected to the commercial power system 101 via electric wires.
- the commercial power system 101 is a single-phase three-wire AC power source composed of a U-phase, an O-phase, and a W-phase, and branch lines are extended from the wires corresponding to each phase and connected to the household load 102.

- a voltage sensor 106 for detecting the voltage of the commercial power system 101
- a heater 107 that forms a load is provided.
- a control device 108 for controlling the operation of the system 103, a household load 102, a power integrating meter 109 for integrating the power consumption in the system 103, and various information such as power values and abnormalities in the system 103 are displayed.
- An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 110 serving as display means and notification means is provided.
- Patent Document 1 as the installation direction of the current sensors 105a and 105b, for example, the installation direction in which the current from the commercial power system 101 to the fuel cell device 104 is detected as a positive current is set as the positive installation direction.
- the control device 108 includes a power calculation unit 111, a current sensor installation direction determination unit 112, a non-volatile memory 113, a sign inversion unit 114, and a heater control unit 115.
- the power calculation unit 111 individually calculates the power consumption in each of the U phase and the W phase based on the detection values of the current sensors 105 a and 105 b and the voltage sensor 106.
- the current sensor installation direction determination unit 112 determines the installation direction of the current sensors 105a and 105b with respect to the electric wire.
- the nonvolatile memory 113 is a storage unit that stores the determination result obtained by the current sensor installation direction determination unit 112.
- the sign inversion unit 114 appropriately corrects the positive / negative sign of the power consumption value calculated by the power calculation unit 111 based on the information regarding the installation direction of the current sensors 105 a and 105 b stored in the nonvolatile memory 113.
- the heater control unit 115 controls energization to the heater 107.
- the control device 108 determines the installation direction of the current sensors 105a and 105b when the power is turned on. Specifically, the control device 108 causes the heater control unit 115 to turn on the heater 107 in a non-power generation state where the fuel cell device 104 is not generating power, thereby causing the fuel cell device from the commercial power system 101 via the electric wire. Power is supplied to 104. In this case, since the fuel cell device 104 consumes power, the direction of the current detected by the current sensors 105a and 105b should be fixed, and the power consumption due to the household load temporarily increases. .
- the power calculation unit 111 calculates the power value in each of the U phase and the W phase based on the acquired current value and voltage value.
- the current sensor installation direction determination unit 112 determines the installation direction of the current sensors 105a and 105b, and the nonvolatile memory 113 stores the determination result for each of the U phase and the W phase. To do. This determination is performed as follows.
- the fuel cell device 104 normally, if the fuel cell device 104 is in a non-power generation state, power is supplied from the commercial power system 101 to the fuel cell device 104 by turning on the heater 107 as described above. Therefore, if the installation direction of the current sensors 105a and 105b is correct, a positive current value is detected, and the power value calculated by the power calculation unit 111 is also a positive value. Therefore, in the determination of the installation direction, when the power value calculated by the power calculation unit 111 is a predetermined value (for example, 0 W) or more, it can be determined that it is installed in the forward direction, and when it is less than the predetermined value, the reverse direction is determined. It can be determined that it is installed in Then, determination information (installation direction information) for each of the U phase and the W phase such as the forward direction or the reverse direction is stored in the nonvolatile memory 113.

After that, the control device 108 corrects the power value calculated for the U phase and the W phase by the sign inversion unit 114 (inversion of the sign) based on the installation direction information of the current sensors 105a and 105b. Then, the corrected electric power value is integrated by the electric power integrating meter 109, and the integrated electric power value is displayed and output on the LCD 110.

It becomes constant and the current value cannot be measured.

It is included.
- the difference (I1a-I2) between the detection upper limit value I1a and the measured current value I2 is equal to or greater than the load current value I3. Accordingly, even when the switch 7a is turned on, the current value I4 (I2 + I3) detected by the current sensors 5a and 5b is less than the detection upper limit value I1a, so the permission process (step S5) is executed.

- the difference (I1b ⁇ I2) between the contract upper limit value I1b and the measured current value I2 is less than the load current value I3. Therefore, when the switch 7a is turned on, the current values I5 and I6 detected by the current sensors 5a and 5b become larger than the contract upper limit value I1b. For example, depending on the variation in power consumption in the consumer load 2, the current values I5 and I6 There is a possibility that I6 may exceed the detection upper limit value I1a. Therefore, in this case, a non-permission process (step S6) is executed.
- a detection upper limit value and a contract upper limit value can be adopted as the set upper limit value.
- a predetermined value less than the contract upper limit value is employed. It is also possible. In this case, a value smaller than the contract upper limit value with a margin becomes the determination reference value, so that a more rigorous diagnosis can be determined.
- a predetermined value smaller than any of them may be set as the set upper limit value. Note that the diagnosis propriety determination process when such a predetermined value is set as the set upper limit value I1 is the same as that described with reference to FIGS.
- step S5 As the permission process in step S5, specifically, a process for permitting execution of the current sensor diagnosis process is performed.
- a mode (non-permission processing 1) in which diagnosis determination is repeatedly executed and a result of current sensor diagnostic processing performed in the past are employed as a result of current sensor diagnostic processing.
- a mode (non-permission process 2) is a suitable example.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 8 in the non-permission processes 1 and 2.
- the counter value N1 is incremented by 1 using the counter function provided in the control device 8 (step S10), and it is determined whether or not the counter value N1 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value X (step S11).
- This predetermined value X is the upper limit number of times to repeat the processing after step S1 of the diagnosis availability determination when the difference between the set upper limit value I1 and the measured current value I2 is less than the load current value I3. It can be set in advance.
