The power storage system is installed in, for example, industrial facilities, public facilities, commercial facilities, office buildings, residences, and the like. When the electric power company adopts the electricity bill system by time zone, the electricity bill at night time is set lower than the electricity bill at daytime. For example, the electricity charge from 23:00 to 7:00 on the next day is set cheaper than other time zones. Therefore, the electricity charge can be suppressed by charging the storage battery from the system power supply at night and using the electric power stored in the storage battery during the daytime. From the power company side, the amount of power used will be leveled.
 蓄電池に蓄えられた電力は、系統電源が停電したとき特定負荷(例えば、電灯、エレベータ、コンピュータサーバなど)を動作させるためのバックアップ電源として用いられる。特定負荷は系統電源の停電時にて、優先的に蓄電池または太陽光発電システムから電力供給を受けることができる予め設定された負荷である。本明細書では、それ以外の負荷を一般負荷という。 The electric power stored in the storage battery is used as a backup power source for operating a specific load (for example, a light, an elevator, a computer server, etc.) when the system power supply fails.

 実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100は、系統連系モードまたは自立運転モードのいずれかで運転される。自立運転モードは基本的に、系統電源200の停電時に選択される。 The power storage system 100 according to the embodiment is operated in either the grid connection mode or the independent operation mode. The self-sustained operation mode is basically selected at the time of power failure of the system power supply 200.
 図2は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100の系統連系モードを説明するための図である。系統連系モードでは図2に示すように、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20内の制御回路22は第2スイッチS2をオン、第3スイッチS3をオフに制御し、第4スイッチS4を、第3スイッチ側ではなく系統電源側の端子に接続するよう制御する。系統連系モードでは系統電源200、太陽光発電システム300、蓄電池モジュール10が単一の交流電流路AP(太線参照)を介して導通する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a grid interconnection mode of power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the grid connection mode, as shown in FIG. 2, the control circuit 22 in the storage battery power conditioner 20 controls the second switch S2 to be on, the third switch S3 to be off, and the fourth switch S4 to the third switch side. Control to connect to the terminal on the system power supply side instead. In the grid connection mode, the grid power supply 200, the photovoltaic power generation system 300, and the storage battery module 10 are conducted through a single AC current path AP (see thick line).
 系統連系モードにて蓄電池モジュール10から放電する場合、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の双方向インバータ21は、系統電源200の周波数に同期した周波数および位相で交流電流路APに電流を流す。 When discharging from the storage battery module 10 in the grid connection mode, the bidirectional inverter 21 of the storage battery power conditioner 20 causes a current to flow through the AC current path AP at a frequency and phase synchronized with the frequency of the system power supply 200.
 図3は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100の自立運転モードを説明するための図である。自立運転モードでは図3に示すように、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20内の制御回路22は、第2スイッチS2をオフ、第3スイッチS3をオンに制御し、第4スイッチS4を、系統電源側ではなく第3スイッチ側の端子に接続するよう制御する。自立運転モードでは太陽光発電システム300及び蓄電池モジュール10は系統電源200から電気的に切り離される。 FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a self-sustaining operation mode of power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the self-sustaining operation mode, as shown in FIG. 3, the control circuit 22 in the storage battery power conditioner 20 controls the second switch S2 to be turned off and the third switch S3 to be turned on, and the fourth switch S4 is turned on the system power supply side. Control to connect to the terminal on the third switch side. In the self-sustaining operation mode, the photovoltaic power generation system 300 and the storage battery module 10 are electrically disconnected from the system power supply 200.
 自立運転モードにて蓄電池モジュール10から放電する場合、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の双方向インバータ21は、系統電源200から自立した周波数および位相で交流電流路APに電流を流す。自立運転モードで形成される交流電流路AP(太線参照)には特定負荷500は電気的に接続されるが、一般負荷400は電気的に遮断される。従って停電時に、特定負荷500にのみ、蓄電池モジュール10に蓄えられた電力および太陽光発電システム300により発電された電力を供給できる。 When discharging from the storage battery module 10 in the self-sustained operation mode, the bidirectional inverter 21 of the storage battery power conditioner 20 causes a current to flow from the system power supply 200 to the AC current path AP at a frequency and phase independent from each other. The specific load 500 is electrically connected to the alternating current path AP (see thick line) formed in the self-sustained operation mode, but the general load 400 is electrically cut off. Therefore, the power stored in the storage battery module 10 and the power generated by the solar power generation system 300 can be supplied only to the specific load 500 at the time of a power failure.
 図4(a)-(d)は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100の物理的な構成例を説明するための図である。図1-図3にて点線で囲まれた蓄電システム100の構成部材は、開閉式の扉を備える筐体110に収納される。図4(a)は筐体110を天面110tから見た図を、図4(b)は筐体110を正面110fから見た図を、図4(c)は筐体110を底面110bから見た図を、図4(d)は筐体110を右側面110sから見た図をそれぞれ示す。 FIGS. 4A to 4D are diagrams for explaining a physical configuration example of the power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The components of the power storage system 100 surrounded by a dotted line in FIGS. 1 to 3 are housed in a housing 110 having an openable door. 4A is a view of the housing 110 viewed from the top surface 110t, FIG. 4B is a view of the housing 110 viewed from the front surface 110f, and FIG. 4C is a view of the housing 110 viewed from the bottom surface 110b. FIG. 4D is a view of the housing 110 viewed from the right side 110s.
 筐体110は縦長のボックスであり、筐体110内の下部に蓄電池モジュール10が配置される。本実施の形態では6個の蓄電池モジュール10が縦置きに並べて配置される。図示しないが蓄電池モジュール10の上に、蓄電池管理装置30が配置され、その上に蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20、第1ブレーカB1~第3ブレーカB3が配置される。このように蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の双方向インバータ21は、蓄電池モジュール10より天面側に配置される。なおPVパワーコンディショナ40も筐体110内に設置される設計であってもよい。 The housing 110 is a vertically long box, and the storage battery module 10 is disposed in the lower part of the housing 110. In the present embodiment, six storage battery modules 10 are arranged side by side vertically. Although not shown, the storage battery management device 30 is disposed on the storage battery module 10, and the storage battery power conditioner 20, the first breaker B1 to the third breaker B3 are disposed thereon. Thus, the bidirectional inverter 21 of the storage battery power conditioner 20 is arranged on the top surface side from the storage battery module 10. The PV power conditioner 40 may also be designed to be installed in the housing 110.
 図4(a)に示すように筐体110の天面110tには第1空気孔111が設けられる。第1空気孔111の近傍にインバータファン50が設けられる。インバータファン50は排気ファンであり、双方向インバータ21の近辺の熱い空気を排出する。インバータファン50は、筐体110の下部に設けられる第2空気孔113及び第3空気孔114から導入された空気を吸い上げることで双方向インバータ21を冷却する。 As shown in FIG. 4A, a first air hole 111 is provided in the top surface 110t of the housing 110. An inverter fan 50 is provided in the vicinity of the first air hole 111. The inverter fan 50 is an exhaust fan and discharges hot air in the vicinity of the bidirectional inverter 21.

By using the inverter fan 50 and the storage battery fan 60 in combination, the cooling efficiency of the storage battery module 10 can be increased. In addition, by taking in air from the lower part and exhausting from the upper part, it is possible to expect the effect that the temperature of the battery rises due to the discharge of the storage battery and that the waste heat of the inverter is sent to the upper part by the updraft.

The storage battery fan 60 is arranged in the vicinity of the bottom surface in the housing 110 so that the outside air inlet faces the second air hole 113 and the third air hole 114.
 ヒータ70は、蓄電池ファン60から送出された空気を受け、温風を送出する。本実施の形態ではヒータ70はヒートシンクを備え、蓄電池ファン60の吹出口とヒートシンクが対面するように蓄電池ファン60とヒータ70を構成する。蓄電池ファン60及びヒータ70は蓄電池モジュール10より底面側に設けられる。蓄電池モジュール10を加熱する際、蓄電池ファン60及びヒータ70は両方とも稼働し、第2空気孔113及び第3空気孔114から吸気した空気を温めて放出する。放出された温風は図4(d)に示すように、筐体110内にて底面側から天面側に向けて上昇し、天面に設けられた第1空気孔111から排気される。 The heater 70 receives air sent from the storage battery fan 60 and sends warm air. In the present embodiment, the heater 70 includes a heat sink, and the storage battery fan 60 and the heater 70 are configured so that the air outlet of the storage battery fan 60 and the heat sink face each other. The storage battery fan 60 and the heater 70 are provided on the bottom side of the storage battery module 10. When the storage battery module 10 is heated, both the storage battery fan 60 and the heater 70 are operated to warm and release the air sucked from the second air hole 113 and the third air hole 114. As shown in FIG. 4D, the discharged warm air rises from the bottom surface side to the top surface side in the housing 110 and is exhausted from the first air hole 111 provided on the top surface.

 通信部31は、蓄電池管理装置30と蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20間のパケット通信、蓄電池管理装置30とPVパワーコンディショナ40間のパケット通信を制御する。監視データ取得部32は、蓄電池モジュール10から送信される監視データを取得する。また監視データ取得部32は、温度センサ600から送信される、筐体110の外の気温を示す温度データを取得する。 The communication unit 31 controls packet communication between the storage battery management device 30 and the storage battery power conditioner 20, and packet communication between the storage battery management device 30 and the PV power conditioner 40. The monitoring data acquisition unit 32 acquires monitoring data transmitted from the storage battery module 10. In addition, the monitoring data acquisition unit 32 acquires temperature data indicating the temperature outside the housing 110 transmitted from the temperature sensor 600.

For example, information such as a charging start time at which charging processing from the system power supply 200 to the storage battery module 10 is started and a charging rate thereof is received.
 SOC算出部34は、蓄電池モジュール10から送信される監視データをもとに蓄電池セル11のSOC(残容量)を算出する。SOCの算出方法としてOCV(Open Circuit Voltage)法やクーロンカウント法を用いることができる。 The SOC calculation unit 34 calculates the SOC (remaining capacity) of the storage battery cell 11 based on the monitoring data transmitted from the storage battery module 10. As an SOC calculation method, an OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) method or a Coulomb count method can be used.
 充放電制御部35は、蓄電池モジュール10に充電する場合の充電レートを示す充電設定値を含むパケット信号を、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の制御回路22に送信する。また充放電制御部35は、蓄電池モジュール10から放電する場合の放電レートを示す放電設定値を含むパケット信号を制御回路22に送信する。また充放電制御部35は、制御回路22から、実際に充電された充電値または実際に放電された放電値を含むパケット信号を受信する。蓄電池モジュール10の充電中または放電中、充放電制御部35はパケット信号を制御回路22に定期的(例えば、1秒周期)に送信する。制御回路22は当該パケット信号を受信する度に、実データを含むパケット信号を返信する。 The charge / discharge control unit 35 transmits to the control circuit 22 of the storage battery power conditioner 20 a packet signal including a charge setting value indicating a charge rate when the storage battery module 10 is charged. In addition, the charge / discharge control unit 35 transmits a packet signal including a discharge set value indicating a discharge rate when discharging from the storage battery module 10 to the control circuit 22. Further, the charge / discharge control unit 35 receives a packet signal including a charge value that is actually charged or a discharge value that is actually discharged from the control circuit 22. While the storage battery module 10 is being charged or discharged, the charge / discharge control unit 35 periodically transmits a packet signal to the control circuit 22 (for example, every 1 second). Each time the control circuit 22 receives the packet signal, it returns a packet signal containing actual data.
 発電制御部36は、PVパワーコンディショナ40の制御回路42から、太陽光発電システム300の発電情報を含むパケット信号を受信する。発電制御部36は、発電を制御するための情報を含むパケット信号を制御回路42に送信する。発電制御部36はパケット信号を制御回路42に定期的(例えば、1秒周期)に送信する。制御回路42は当該パケット信号を受信する度に、実データを含むパケット信号を返信する。発電制御部36は、制御回路42からの応答がない場合、パケット信号の送信周期を長くする。例えば、1分周期に変更する。 The power generation control unit 36 receives a packet signal including power generation information of the solar power generation system 300 from the control circuit 42 of the PV power conditioner 40. The power generation control unit 36 transmits a packet signal including information for controlling power generation to the control circuit 42. The power generation control unit 36 transmits the packet signal to the control circuit 42 periodically (for example, every 1 second). Each time the control circuit 42 receives the packet signal, it returns a packet signal containing actual data. When there is no response from the control circuit 42, the power generation control unit 36 lengthens the transmission cycle of the packet signal. For example, the period is changed to one minute.
 温度制御部37は、蓄電池セル11の温度を管理するとともにファン・ヒータ制御部38を制御して、蓄電池セル11の温度を調整する。蓄電池セル11を冷却する場合、ファン・ヒータ制御部38は、蓄電池ファン60及びインバータファン50の少なくとも一方を稼働させる。基本的に蓄電池ファン60を稼働させて、第2空気孔113及び第3空気孔114から吸気した外気を蓄電池セル11に送風して蓄電池セル11を冷却する。その際、インバータファン50を稼働させると外気の導入を促進できる。なおインバータファン50が吸気ファンの場合、インバータファン50を稼働させて蓄電池セル11の上側からも外気を導入できる。 The temperature control unit 37 controls the temperature of the storage battery cell 11 and controls the fan / heater control unit 38 to adjust the temperature of the storage battery cell 11. When cooling the storage battery cell 11, the fan / heater control unit 38 operates at least one of the storage battery fan 60 and the inverter fan 50. Basically, the storage battery fan 60 is operated, and the outside air sucked from the second air hole 113 and the third air hole 114 is blown to the storage battery cell 11 to cool the storage battery cell 11. At that time, when the inverter fan 50 is operated, introduction of outside air can be promoted. When the inverter fan 50 is an intake fan, the inverter fan 50 can be operated to introduce outside air from the upper side of the storage battery cell 11.
 蓄電池セル11を加熱する場合、ファン・ヒータ制御部38は、蓄電池ファン60及びヒータ70を稼働させ、インバータファン50を非稼働に制御する。図4(d)に示すように温風が蓄電池モジュール10の下部から上部に吹き上がることにより、蓄電池セル11の温度を上昇させることができる。この際、インバータファン50を停止させることにより、第2空気孔113及び第3空気孔114からの外気の導入を抑え、ヒータ70で暖められた空気を筐体110の内部で循環させることができる。これにより、ヒータ70の加温効率が向上する。なお、インバータファン50が吸気ファンの場合、インバータファン50を停止させることにより、蓄電池モジュール10の上部側から外気が吹きつけられることを防止できる。蓄電池セル11を加熱する必要がある状況は通常、外気温が低い状態であり、インバータファン50を稼働させていると、蓄電池モジュール10に上から冷気が吹きつけられることになる。 When the storage battery cell 11 is heated, the fan / heater control unit 38 operates the storage battery fan 60 and the heater 70 and controls the inverter fan 50 to be inactive. As shown in FIG. 4D, the hot air blows up from the lower part of the storage battery module 10 to the upper part, whereby the temperature of the storage battery cell 11 can be increased. At this time, by stopping the inverter fan 50, introduction of outside air from the second air hole 113 and the third air hole 114 can be suppressed, and the air heated by the heater 70 can be circulated inside the housing 110. . Thereby, the heating efficiency of the heater 70 is improved. In addition, when the inverter fan 50 is an intake fan, it can prevent that external air is blown from the upper part side of the storage battery module 10 by stopping the inverter fan 50. FIG. The situation in which the storage battery cell 11 needs to be heated is usually a state in which the outside air temperature is low. When the inverter fan 50 is operated, cold air is blown onto the storage battery module 10 from above.
 スイッチ制御部39は、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の制御回路22に制御情報を含むパケット信号を送信し、当該制御回路22を介して、第1スイッチS1~第6スイッチS6、第1ブレーカB1~第3ブレーカB3の制御を行うことができる。スイッチ制御部39は、第8スイッチS8をオフに制御してヒータ70への給電を停止できる。また第9スイッチS9をオフに制御して蓄電池ファン60への給電を停止できる。また第7スイッチS7をオフに制御してインバータファン50への給電を停止できる。なお第7スイッチS7、第8スイッチS8、第9スイッチS9は、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の制御回路22からも制御できる。 The switch control unit 39 transmits a packet signal including control information to the control circuit 22 of the storage battery power conditioner 20, and through the control circuit 22, the first switch S1 to the sixth switch S6 and the first breaker B1 to the first breaker B1. The control of the 3 breaker B3 can be performed. The switch control unit 39 can stop the power supply to the heater 70 by controlling the eighth switch S8 to be off. In addition, the power supply to the storage battery fan 60 can be stopped by controlling the ninth switch S9 to be off. Further, the power supply to the inverter fan 50 can be stopped by controlling the seventh switch S7 to be turned off. The seventh switch S7, the eighth switch S8, and the ninth switch S9 can also be controlled from the control circuit 22 of the storage battery power conditioner 20.
 スイッチ制御部39は、第6スイッチS6をオフに制御して特定負荷500への給電を停止できる。スイッチ制御部39は系統電源200の停電時にて、特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回るとき第6スイッチS6をオフする。この条件で第6スイッチS6をオフする場合、停電時における特定負荷500への給電機会が減る傾向がある。特に夜間に停電した場合、特定負荷500に給電できなくなる。そこで、特定負荷500の消費電力が一定電力を超えた場合に、上述の条件にもとづく第6スイッチS6の制御を実行してもよい。即ち、特定負荷500の消費電力が一定電力以下の場合は、特定負荷500への給電を停止しない。当該一定電力を例えば1kWとすると、太陽光発電システム300の発電に関係なく、1kWを超えない範囲で特定負荷500を使用できる。従って、停電時における特定負荷500への給電機会を増やすことができる。ここで、一定電力の値は、停電時の使用が想定される照明や空調機器の消費電力を考慮して決定することが望ましい。 The switch control unit 39 can stop the power supply to the specific load 500 by controlling the sixth switch S6 to be off. The switch control unit 39 turns off the sixth switch S6 when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the generated power of the solar power generation system 300 at the time of a power failure of the system power supply 200. When the sixth switch S6 is turned off under this condition, there is a tendency that the power supply opportunity to the specific load 500 at the time of a power failure decreases. In particular, when a power failure occurs at night, the specific load 500 cannot be supplied with power. Therefore, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds a certain power, the sixth switch S6 may be controlled based on the above-described conditions. That is, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 is less than or equal to a certain power, the power supply to the specific load 500 is not stopped. If the constant power is 1 kW, for example, the specific load 500 can be used within a range not exceeding 1 kW regardless of the power generation of the solar power generation system 300. Therefore, the power supply opportunity to the specific load 500 at the time of a power failure can be increased. Here, it is desirable to determine the value of the constant power in consideration of the power consumption of lighting and air conditioning equipment that is assumed to be used during a power failure.
 またスイッチ制御部39は系統電源200の停電時にて、特定負荷500の消費電力が、太陽光発電システム300の発電電力に調整電力(正の値)を加えた調整後の発電電力を上回るとき第6スイッチS6をオフしてもよい。この場合も、停電時における特定負荷500への給電機会を増やすことができる。ここで、調整電力の値は、特定負荷500への給電機会の確保と、蓄電池保護のバランスを考慮して決定することが望ましい。 In addition, the switch control unit 39 is the first when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the adjusted generated power obtained by adding the adjusted power (positive value) to the generated power of the photovoltaic power generation system 300 during the power failure of the system power supply 200. The 6 switch S6 may be turned off. Also in this case, the power supply opportunity to the specific load 500 at the time of a power failure can be increased. Here, it is desirable to determine the value of the adjusted power in consideration of securing a power supply opportunity to the specific load 500 and protecting the storage battery.
 またスイッチ制御部39は系統電源200の停電時にて、蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが過放電防止用設定値(例えば10%)を下回ると第6スイッチS6をオフする。過放電防止用設定値は特定負荷500の容量に応じて設定される。特定負荷500の容量が小さいほど、過放電防止用設定値に小さな値が設定される。スイッチ制御部39は、当該二つの条件の両方を満たしたとき第6スイッチS6をオフしてもよいし、一方を満たしただけで第6スイッチS6をオフしてもよい。 Further, the switch control unit 39 turns off the sixth switch S6 when the SOC of the storage battery module 10 falls below a set value for preventing overdischarge (for example, 10%) during a power failure of the system power supply 200. The overdischarge prevention set value is set according to the capacity of the specific load 500. As the capacity of the specific load 500 is smaller, a smaller value is set as the overdischarge prevention set value. The switch control unit 39 may turn off the sixth switch S6 when both of the two conditions are satisfied, or may turn off the sixth switch S6 only when one of the two conditions is satisfied.
 系統電源200の停電時は蓄電システム100は自立運転モードで動作する。従って特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回ると、蓄電池モジュール10の容量が低下していく。蓄電池モジュール10は過放電すると劣化する。 The power storage system 100 operates in the self-sustaining operation mode at the time of power failure of the system power supply 200. Therefore, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the power generation power of the solar power generation system 300, the capacity of the storage battery module 10 decreases. The storage battery module 10 deteriorates when overdischarged.
 蓄電池モジュール10の保護を重視する場合、SOCの値に係わらず特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回った時点で、特定負荷500への給電を停止する。また特定負荷500への給電維持を重視する場合、蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが過放電防止用設定値を下回り、かつ特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回っている場合に特定負荷500への給電を停止する。太陽光発電システム300の発電電力が特定負荷500の消費電力を上回っている場合、蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが回復する方向にあるため第6スイッチS6をオフしない。 When importance is attached to the protection of the storage battery module 10, power supply to the specific load 500 is stopped when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the generated power of the solar power generation system 300 regardless of the SOC value. In addition, when emphasizing the maintenance of power supply to the specific load 500, when the SOC of the storage battery module 10 is below the set value for preventing overdischarge and the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the power generation of the solar power generation system 300 Power supply to the specific load 500 is stopped. When the generated power of the solar power generation system 300 exceeds the power consumption of the specific load 500, the sixth switch S6 is not turned off because the SOC of the storage battery module 10 is in a recovery direction.
 特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回るか否かは、蓄電システム100が放電しているか否かを検出することにより判定できる。自立運転モードでは、特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回る場合、蓄電池モジュール10は放電状態となる。逆に特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を下回る場合、蓄電池モジュール10は充電状態となる。スイッチ制御部39は、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の制御回路22から受信するパケット信号に含まれる情報を参照して、蓄電池モジュール10が放電中か充電中かを特定できる。 Whether or not the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the power generation of the solar power generation system 300 can be determined by detecting whether or not the power storage system 100 is discharged. In the self-sustaining operation mode, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the power generation power of the solar power generation system 300, the storage battery module 10 is in a discharged state. Conversely, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 is lower than the power generation of the solar power generation system 300, the storage battery module 10 is in a charged state. The switch control unit 39 can specify whether the storage battery module 10 is discharging or charging with reference to information included in the packet signal received from the control circuit 22 of the storage battery power conditioner 20.
 また交流電流路に電流センサを設置して、その電流の向きから特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回るか否かを判定してもよい。また交流電流路と特定負荷500との間の電流路に電流センサを設置して、その計測値をもとに判定してもよい。 Alternatively, a current sensor may be installed in the AC current path, and it may be determined whether or not the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the generated power of the photovoltaic power generation system 300 from the direction of the current. Further, a current sensor may be installed in the current path between the AC current path and the specific load 500, and the determination may be made based on the measured value.
 図7は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100による、自立運転モードにおける第6スイッチS6の制御例を説明するためのフローチャートである。監視データ取得部32は、蓄電池モジュール10から蓄電池セルの電圧値などの監視データを取得する(S10)。SOC算出部34は、監視データをもとに蓄電池モジュール10のSOCを算出する(S11)。スイッチ制御部39は、算出されたSOCと過放電防止用の第1設定値を比較する(S12)。SOCが第1設定値以上の場合(S12のN)、ステップS10に遷移する。SOCが第1設定値未満の場合(S12のY)、スイッチ制御部39は蓄電池モジュール10が放電状態であるか否か判定する(S13)。放電状態でない場合(S13のN)、ステップS10に遷移する。放電状態である場合(S13のY)、スイッチ制御部39は第6スイッチS6をオフする(S14)。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a control example of the sixth switch S6 in the self-sustaining operation mode by the power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The monitoring data acquisition part 32 acquires monitoring data, such as a voltage value of a storage battery cell, from the storage battery module 10 (S10). The SOC calculation unit 34 calculates the SOC of the storage battery module 10 based on the monitoring data (S11). The switch control unit 39 compares the calculated SOC with the first set value for preventing overdischarge (S12). When the SOC is equal to or higher than the first set value (N in S12), the process proceeds to step S10. When the SOC is less than the first set value (Y in S12), the switch control unit 39 determines whether or not the storage battery module 10 is in a discharged state (S13). When not in the discharging state (N in S13), the process proceeds to step S10. When it is in a discharging state (Y in S13), the switch control unit 39 turns off the sixth switch S6 (S14).
 監視データ取得部32は、蓄電池モジュール10から蓄電池セルの電圧値などの監視データを取得する(S15)。SOC算出部34は、監視データをもとに蓄電池モジュール10のSOCを算出する(S16)。スイッチ制御部39は、算出されたSOCと復帰用の第2設定値を比較する(S17)。第2設定値は第1設定値より大きな値に設定される。例えば、第1設定値+10%に設定される。 The monitoring data acquisition part 32 acquires monitoring data, such as a voltage value of a storage battery cell, from the storage battery module 10 (S15). The SOC calculation unit 34 calculates the SOC of the storage battery module 10 based on the monitoring data (S16). The switch control unit 39 compares the calculated SOC with the second set value for return (S17). The second set value is set to a value larger than the first set value. For example, the first set value + 10% is set.
SOCが第2設定値以上の場合(S17のN)、ステップS15に遷移する。SOCが第2設定値未満の場合(S17のY)、スイッチ制御部39は第6スイッチS6をオンする(S18)。なお蓄電池モジュール10が放電状態にあることを追加条件としてもよい。また表示装置700に復帰が可能であることを表示し、ユーザが操作部800に復帰指示を入力することを追加条件としてもよい。この場合、スイッチ制御部39は、第6スイッチS6がオフした後にて蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが第2設定値以上になったとき、表示装置700に復帰可能状態であることを表示させる。特定負荷500に電気ストーブなどの放熱機器が含まれる場合、第6スイッチS6のオフにより放熱機器が停止するが、ユーザが放熱機器の停止後に可燃物を放熱機器の近くに置いてしまう可能性がある。ユーザ操作を条件とすることにより、ユーザに給電再開を認識させることができる。 When the SOC is equal to or greater than the second set value (N in S17), the process proceeds to step S15. When the SOC is less than the second set value (Y in S17), the switch control unit 39 turns on the sixth switch S6 (S18). The additional condition may be that the storage battery module 10 is in a discharged state. An additional condition may be that the display device 700 displays that the return is possible and the user inputs a return instruction to the operation unit 800. In this case, when the SOC of the storage battery module 10 becomes equal to or higher than the second set value after the sixth switch S6 is turned off, the switch control unit 39 causes the display device 700 to display that it can be returned. When the specific load 500 includes a heat dissipating device such as an electric heater, the heat dissipating device is stopped by turning off the sixth switch S6. However, there is a possibility that the user may place a combustible material near the heat dissipating device after the heat dissipating device is stopped. is there. By making the user operation a condition, the user can be made aware of the resumption of power supply.
 特定負荷500とすべき負荷はユーザによって選択される。従って、例えばLED照明など自動復帰しても不安全状態にならない特定負荷500のみの場合には、ユーザ操作を条件とする必要はない。ユーザは、運転開始前に表示装置700に表示された設定画面から、予め自動復帰させるか否かを設定できる。この設定が有効になっている場合、SOCが第2設定値以上になると、スイッチ制御部39は第6スイッチS6をオンして、自動で給電を再開させる。なお、運転中に自動・手動復帰設定を変更しても、一度システムの運転を停止して、再起動しない限り反映されない。 The load to be the specific load 500 is selected by the user. Therefore, for example, in the case of only the specific load 500 that does not become an unsafe state even if the LED light is automatically restored, it is not necessary to make a user operation a condition. The user can set in advance whether or not to automatically return from the setting screen displayed on the display device 700 before the start of operation. When this setting is valid, when the SOC becomes equal to or higher than the second set value, the switch control unit 39 turns on the sixth switch S6 and automatically restarts power supply. Note that even if the automatic / manual return setting is changed during operation, it will not be reflected unless the system operation is stopped and restarted.
 蓄電システム100の自立運転が終了するまで(S19のY)、ステップS10~ステップS18までの処理が実行される(S19のN)。なお図7では便宜的に一番下に描いているが、運転終了の判定処理は、どの時点でも実行される。 The processing from step S10 to step S18 is executed until the self-sustained operation of the power storage system 100 ends (Y in S19) (N in S19). Although shown at the bottom in FIG. 7 for the sake of convenience, the operation end determination process is executed at any time.
 図8は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100による、自立運転モードにおける第6スイッチS6以外の構成要素の制御例を説明するためのフローチャートである。監視データ取得部32は、蓄電池モジュール10から蓄電池セルの電圧値などの監視データを取得する(S20)。SOC算出部34は、監視データをもとに蓄電池モジュール10のSOCを算出する(S21)。発電制御部36は、PVパワーコンディショナ40の制御回路42から太陽光発電システム300の発電情報を取得する(S22)。 FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining a control example of components other than the sixth switch S6 in the self-sustaining operation mode by the power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The monitoring data acquisition part 32 acquires monitoring data, such as a voltage value of a storage battery cell, from the storage battery module 10 (S20). The SOC calculation unit 34 calculates the SOC of the storage battery module 10 based on the monitoring data (S21). The power generation control unit 36 acquires the power generation information of the solar power generation system 300 from the control circuit 42 of the PV power conditioner 40 (S22).
 スイッチ制御部39は、算出されたSOCと過放電防止用の第1設定値を比較する(S23)。SOCが第1設定値以上の場合(S23のN)、ステップS20に遷移する。SOCが第1設定値未満の場合(S23のY)、発電制御部36は太陽光発電システム300が発電中であるか否か判定する(S24)。発電状態の場合(S24のN)、ステップS20に遷移する。非発電状態の場合(S24のY)、ファン・ヒータ制御部38はヒータ70を非稼働に制御する(S25)。ヒータ70が稼働している場合は停止させ、稼働していない場合はその状態を維持する。なおファン・ヒータ制御部38は蓄電池ファン60及びインバータファン50も非稼働に制御してもよい。 The switch control unit 39 compares the calculated SOC with the first set value for preventing overdischarge (S23). When the SOC is greater than or equal to the first set value (N in S23), the process proceeds to step S20. When the SOC is less than the first set value (Y in S23), the power generation control unit 36 determines whether or not the solar power generation system 300 is generating power (S24). In the power generation state (N in S24), the process proceeds to step S20. In the non-power generation state (Y in S24), the fan / heater control unit 38 controls the heater 70 to be inactive (S25). When the heater 70 is operating, it is stopped, and when it is not operating, the state is maintained. The fan / heater control unit 38 may also control the storage battery fan 60 and the inverter fan 50 to be inactive.
 SOCが第1設定値未満では蓄電池モジュール10から放電されず、太陽光発電システム300が発電していない状態では蓄電池モジュール10に充電されない。従って蓄電池モジュール10を加熱する必要がない。ヒータ70を非稼働に制御することによりヒータ70の消費電力を低減できる。なお停電時における自立運転モードでは、蓄電池モジュール10及び太陽光発電システム300からの給電が停止した時点で、ヒータ70は稼働できなくなる。ステップS25の処理は、蓄電池モジュール10及び太陽光発電システム300以外から電源を確保できる状況を主に想定している。 If the SOC is less than the first set value, the battery module 10 is not discharged, and the battery module 10 is not charged when the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is not generating power. Therefore, there is no need to heat the storage battery module 10. By controlling the heater 70 to be inactive, the power consumption of the heater 70 can be reduced. In the self-sustained operation mode at the time of a power failure, the heater 70 cannot be operated when the power supply from the storage battery module 10 and the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is stopped. The process of step S25 mainly assumes a situation where power can be secured from other than the storage battery module 10 and the solar power generation system 300.
 発電制御部36は、PVパワーコンディショナ40に送信するパケット信号にスリープモードへの移行指示を含めることにより、PVパワーコンディショナ40をスリープモードに移行させる(S26)。これによりPVパワーコンディショナ40の消費電力を低減できる。なお太陽光発電システム300の発電が停止した後、PVパワーコンディショナ40の制御回路42が、自己判断によりPVパワーコンディショナ40をスリープモードに移行させてもよい。 The power generation control unit 36 causes the PV power conditioner 40 to shift to the sleep mode by including an instruction to shift to the sleep mode in the packet signal transmitted to the PV power conditioner 40 (S26). Thereby, the power consumption of the PV power conditioner 40 can be reduced. In addition, after the electric power generation of the solar power generation system 300 stops, the control circuit 42 of the PV power conditioner 40 may shift the PV power conditioner 40 to the sleep mode by self-determination.
 充放電制御部35は、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20に送信するパケット信号にスリープモードへの移行指示を含めることにより、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20をスリープモードに移行させる(S27)。蓄電池モジュール10からの放電が禁止され、系統電源200からも太陽光発電システム300からも充電されないため、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20をスリープさせる。これにより蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の消費電力を低減できる。 The charging / discharging control unit 35 causes the storage battery power conditioner 20 to shift to the sleep mode by including an instruction to shift to the sleep mode in the packet signal transmitted to the storage battery power conditioner 20 (S27). Since the discharge from the storage battery module 10 is prohibited and neither the grid power supply 200 nor the solar power generation system 300 is charged, the storage battery power conditioner 20 is caused to sleep. Thereby, the power consumption of the storage battery power conditioner 20 can be reduced.
 太陽光発電システム300の発電が再開すると(S28のY)、PVパワーコンディショナ40の制御回路42は、PVパワーコンディショナ40をスリープモードから通常モードに復帰させる(S29)。充放電制御部35は、PVパワーコンディショナ40から受信するパケット信号を参照して太陽光発電システム300の発電再開を検出すると、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20をスリープモードから通常モードに復帰させる(S30)。 When the photovoltaic power generation system 300 resumes power generation (Y in S28), the control circuit 42 of the PV power conditioner 40 returns the PV power conditioner 40 from the sleep mode to the normal mode (S29). When the charge / discharge control unit 35 detects the resumption of power generation of the photovoltaic power generation system 300 with reference to the packet signal received from the PV power conditioner 40, the charge / discharge control unit 35 returns the storage battery power conditioner 20 from the sleep mode to the normal mode (S30). .
 蓄電システム100の自立運転が終了するまで(S31のY)、ステップS20~ステップS30までの処理が実行される(S31のN)。なお図8では便宜的に一番下に描いているが、運転終了の判定処理は、どの時点でも実行される。 The process from step S20 to step S30 is executed until the self-sustained operation of the power storage system 100 ends (Y in S31) (N in S31). In FIG. 8, for the sake of convenience, it is drawn at the bottom, but the determination process for the end of operation is executed at any time.
 図9は、本発明の実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100における、蓄電池管理装置30とPVパワーコンディショナ40間の通信間隔切替処理を説明するためのフローチャートである。PVパワーコンディショナ40がスリープモードの場合(S35のY)、蓄電池管理装置30の通信部31は、蓄電池管理装置30とPVパワーコンディショナ40間の通信頻度を低下させる(S36)。即ち通信間隔を長くする。夜間は通常、PVパワーコンディショナ40がスリープモードになるため通信間隔が長くなる。PVパワーコンディショナ40が通常モードの場合(S35のN)、蓄電池管理装置30の通信部31は、蓄電池管理装置30とPVパワーコンディショナ40間の通信頻度を通常に設定する(S37)。蓄電システム100の運転が終了するまで(S38のY)、ステップS35~ステップS37までの処理が繰り返し実行される(S38のN)。 FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a communication interval switching process between the storage battery management device 30 and the PV power conditioner 40 in the power storage system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the PV power conditioner 40 is in the sleep mode (Y in S35), the communication unit 31 of the storage battery management device 30 decreases the communication frequency between the storage battery management device 30 and the PV power conditioner 40 (S36). That is, the communication interval is lengthened. At night, the PV power conditioner 40 is normally in the sleep mode, so the communication interval becomes longer. When the PV power conditioner 40 is in the normal mode (N in S35), the communication unit 31 of the storage battery management device 30 sets the communication frequency between the storage battery management device 30 and the PV power conditioner 40 to normal (S37). Until the operation of the power storage system 100 ends (Y in S38), the processing from step S35 to step S37 is repeatedly executed (N in S38).
 以上説明したように本実施の形態によれば、系統電源に接続された蓄電システム100に太陽光発電システム300を連携させる際、太陽光発電システム300をPVパワーコンディショナ40を介して蓄電システム100に接続する。即ち、交流出力で蓄電池モジュール10及び系統電源200と接続する。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the solar power generation system 300 is linked to the power storage system 100 connected to the system power supply, the solar power generation system 300 is connected to the power storage system 100 via the PV power conditioner 40. Connect to. That is, it connects with the storage battery module 10 and the system power supply 200 with an alternating current output.
 太陽光発電システム300を、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の直流側に接続することも考えられるが、この場合、太陽光発電システム300の出力範囲が、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の定格範囲内に収まる必要がある。既成の蓄電システム100に太陽光発電システム300を追加する場合、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の定格範囲に収まる太陽光発電システム300を選択する必要がある。また既存の太陽光発電システム300に、既成の蓄電システム100を連携しようとしても不可能となる場合がある。 It is conceivable to connect the photovoltaic power generation system 300 to the direct current side of the storage battery power conditioner 20, but in this case, the output range of the photovoltaic power generation system 300 needs to be within the rated range of the storage battery power conditioner 20. is there. When the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is added to the existing power storage system 100, it is necessary to select the photovoltaic power generation system 300 that falls within the rated range of the storage battery power conditioner 20. Further, it may be impossible to link the existing power storage system 100 to the existing solar power generation system 300.
 太陽光発電システム300を、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の直流側に接続する場合、太陽光発電システム300と蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の間にDC-DCコンバータを設置することも考えられる。この場合、DC-DCコンバータを設置するコストが増大するとともに、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20だけでなくDC-DCコンバータでも変換損失が発生するため、エネルギー効率が低下する。 When the solar power generation system 300 is connected to the direct current side of the storage battery power conditioner 20, it is conceivable to install a DC-DC converter between the solar power generation system 300 and the storage battery power conditioner 20. In this case, the cost for installing the DC-DC converter increases, and conversion loss occurs not only in the storage battery power conditioner 20 but also in the DC-DC converter, so that the energy efficiency is lowered.
 これに対して本実施の形態によれば、PVパワーコンディショナ40を設けることにより、様々な種類の太陽光発電システム300を、出力範囲の制限なく蓄電システム100に接続できる。またDC-DCコンバータが不要であるため、それによるエネルギー効率の低下も回避できる。 On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, by providing the PV power conditioner 40, various types of photovoltaic power generation systems 300 can be connected to the power storage system 100 without limitation of the output range. In addition, since a DC-DC converter is unnecessary, it is possible to avoid a reduction in energy efficiency.
 また自立運転モードにて特定負荷500の消費電力が太陽光発電システム300の発電電力を上回るとき、及び/又は蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが第1設定値を下回るとき特定負荷500への給電を停止する。これにより蓄電池モジュール10の過放電を防止し、蓄電池モジュール10を保護できる。 In addition, when the power consumption of the specific load 500 exceeds the generated power of the photovoltaic power generation system 300 and / or when the SOC of the storage battery module 10 falls below the first set value in the self-sustained operation mode, power supply to the specific load 500 is stopped. . Thereby, the overdischarge of the storage battery module 10 can be prevented, and the storage battery module 10 can be protected.
 以上、本発明を実施の形態をもとに説明した。この実施の形態は例示であり、それらの各構成要素や各処理プロセスの組み合わせにいろいろな変形例が可能なこと、またそうした変形例も本発明の範囲にあることは当業者に理解されるところである。 The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to combinations of the respective constituent elements and processing processes, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention. is there.
[第1の変形例]
 図10、本発明の第1の変形例に係る蓄電システム100を説明するための図である。第1の変形例に係る蓄電システム100は、図1-3に示した蓄電システム100の第5スイッチS5及び第6スイッチS6を省略した構成である。
[First Modification]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a power storage system 100 according to a first modification of the present invention. The power storage system 100 according to the first modification has a configuration in which the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 of the power storage system 100 illustrated in FIG. 1-3 are omitted.
 図1-3に示した蓄電システム100では特定負荷500への給電を遮断するための素子として、第3ブレーカB3と直列に接続された第6スイッチS6を使用した。この構成では上述のように第6スイッチS6をオフ(リレーの場合はオープン)した後、蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが復帰用の第2設定値を上回るとオン(リレーの場合はクローズ)して、自動復帰させることができる。 In the power storage system 100 shown in FIG. 1-3, the sixth switch S6 connected in series with the third breaker B3 is used as an element for cutting off the power supply to the specific load 500. In this configuration, after the sixth switch S6 is turned off (open in the case of a relay) as described above, it is turned on (closed in the case of a relay) when the SOC of the storage battery module 10 exceeds the second set value for return, It can be automatically restored.
 第1の変形例ではスイッチ制御部39は、特定負荷500への給電を停止する際、第3ブレーカB3をクローズさせる。第3ブレーカB3はコイル及び接点を有し、コイルは過電流検出をトリガとして励磁し接点をクローズさせる。また第3ブレーカB3は外部制御により通電される別のコイルを有する。スイッチ制御部39はその別のコイルに電流を流すよう制御することにより、接点をクローズできる。 In the first modification, the switch control unit 39 closes the third breaker B3 when stopping the power supply to the specific load 500. The third breaker B3 has a coil and a contact, and the coil is excited with overcurrent detection as a trigger to close the contact. The third breaker B3 has another coil that is energized by external control. The switch control unit 39 can close the contact by controlling the current to flow through the other coil.
 このように第1の変形例によれば第5スイッチS5及び第6スイッチS6を省略するため蓄電システム100全体のコストを低減できる。またブレーカは一度開くと手動で復帰させる必要がある。即ち、ブレーカがトリップするとブレーカの再投入が必要となる。スイッチ制御部39は、ブレーカを開いた後にて蓄電池モジュール10のSOCが、復帰用の設定値を上回ったとき、表示装置700にブレーカ復帰可能状態であることを表示させる。このように第6スイッチS6にブレーカを使用する場合、復帰の際に必ずユーザの確認作業が必要となり、復帰の際の安全性をより担保できる。なお、第6スイッチS6はリセットスイッチでもよく、その場合、リセットスイッチを押すことで第6スイッチS6がオンされる。 Thus, according to the first modification, since the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are omitted, the cost of the entire power storage system 100 can be reduced. The breaker must be manually reset once it is opened. That is, when the breaker trips, the breaker needs to be restarted. When the SOC of the storage battery module 10 exceeds the set value for return after opening the breaker, the switch control unit 39 displays on the display device 700 that the breaker can be returned. As described above, when the breaker is used for the sixth switch S6, the user's confirmation work is always required at the time of return, and the safety at the time of return can be further secured. The sixth switch S6 may be a reset switch. In this case, the sixth switch S6 is turned on by pressing the reset switch.
[第2の変形例]
 上述したように、蓄電システム100における蓄電池モジュール10に蓄えられた電力は、昼間に使用することによって電力の使用量を平準化するいわゆるピークカットに使用されたり、系統電源200が停電したときのバックアップ電源として使用されたりする。このように、蓄電池モジュール10は、商用電源である系統電源200を補助するために用いられる。
[Second Modification]
As described above, the electric power stored in the storage battery module 10 in the power storage system 100 is used for so-called peak cut to equalize the amount of electric power used by daytime, or backup when the system power supply 200 fails. It is used as a power source. Thus, the storage battery module 10 is used to assist the system power supply 200 which is a commercial power supply.
 太陽光発電システム300も、蓄電池モジュール10と同様に、商用電源である系統電源200を補助するために用いられる。太陽光発電システム300が発電した電力は、蓄電池モジュール10を充電するためにも用いられる。 The solar power generation system 300 is also used for assisting the system power supply 200 which is a commercial power supply, like the storage battery module 10. The electric power generated by the solar power generation system 300 is also used for charging the storage battery module 10.
 太陽光発電システム300における太陽電池310が発電した直流電力は、インバータ41によって交流電力に変換される。この意味で、インバータ41は、太陽電池310が発電した電力を変換する電力変換装置として機能する。 DC power generated by the solar cell 310 in the solar power generation system 300 is converted into AC power by the inverter 41. In this sense, the inverter 41 functions as a power conversion device that converts the power generated by the solar cell 310.
 インバータ41が変換した電力は、上述した交流電流路に供給される。太陽電池310は太陽光を利用して発電するため、太陽電池310の発電量は時間によって変動する。また、太陽光発電システム300は必ずしも蓄電システム100とともに用いられるとは限らず、太陽光発電システム300の存在しないシステムもある。 The electric power converted by the inverter 41 is supplied to the AC current path described above. Since the solar cell 310 generates power using sunlight, the power generation amount of the solar cell 310 varies with time. Further, the solar power generation system 300 is not necessarily used together with the power storage system 100, and there is a system in which the solar power generation system 300 does not exist.
 図1に示すように、太陽光発電システム300は蓄電システム100とは異なるシステムであり、両者の間の連携が重要となる。例えば、太陽光発電システム300の出力がある場合に、蓄電システム100が太陽光発電システム300の出力がないものとして蓄電池モジュール10を放電すると、交流電流路に定格以上の電力が出力されかねない。このため、第2の変形例に係る蓄電システム100は、太陽光発電システム300と共存するか否かの設定と、実際に太陽光発電システム300と通信可能か否かを検出する。以下、第2の変形例に係る蓄電システム100について具体的に説明する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is a system different from the power storage system 100, and the cooperation between the two is important. For example, when there is an output of the solar power generation system 300 and the power storage system 100 discharges the storage battery module 10 assuming that there is no output of the solar power generation system 300, power exceeding the rating may be output to the alternating current path. For this reason, the power storage system 100 according to the second modification detects whether or not the photovoltaic power generation system 300 can coexist and whether or not communication with the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is actually possible. Hereinafter, the power storage system 100 according to the second modification will be specifically described.
 図11は、本発明の第2の変形例に係る蓄電池管理装置130を説明するための図である。第2の変形例に係る蓄電池管理装置130は、図6に示す蓄電システム100において、蓄電池管理装置30に替えて用いられる。このため、第2の変形例に係る蓄電システム100は、蓄電池管理装置130を除き、上述した実施の形態対に係る蓄電システム100と同様の構成を有する。したがって、以下実施の形態に係る蓄電システム100と重複する部分は、省略または簡略化して記載する。 FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a storage battery management device 130 according to a second modification of the present invention. The storage battery management device 130 according to the second modification is used in place of the storage battery management device 30 in the power storage system 100 shown in FIG. For this reason, the power storage system 100 according to the second modification has the same configuration as the power storage system 100 according to the above-described embodiment pair, except for the storage battery management device 130. Therefore, the description overlapping with the power storage system 100 according to the embodiment is omitted or simplified below.
 蓄電池管理装置130は、実施の形態に係る蓄電池管理装置30と同様に、通信部31、監視データ取得部32、ユーザ入力受付部33、SOC算出部34、充放電制御部35、発電制御部36、温度制御部37、ファン・ヒータ制御部38、スイッチ制御部39を備える。蓄電池管理装置130は、上述した太陽光発電システム300と連携するために、使用可否設定部136、使用可否記憶部138、および通知部140をさらに備える。 Similar to the storage battery management device 30 according to the embodiment, the storage battery management device 130 includes a communication unit 31, a monitoring data acquisition unit 32, a user input reception unit 33, an SOC calculation unit 34, a charge / discharge control unit 35, and a power generation control unit 36. A temperature control unit 37, a fan / heater control unit 38, and a switch control unit 39. The storage battery management device 130 further includes an availability setting unit 136, an availability storage unit 138, and a notification unit 140 in order to cooperate with the solar power generation system 300 described above.
 ユーザ入力受付部33は、太陽光発電システム300の使用の設定に対するユーザの指示を、操作部800を介して取得する。ユーザ入力受付部33が取得した指示が太陽光発電システム300の使用の設定を無効とする場合、使用可否設定部136は、インバータ41の使用が無効であることを使用可否記憶部138に格納する。なお、使用可否設定部136は、ユーザ入力受付部33が取得した指示が使用の設定を有効とする場合、太陽電池310が発電した電力を変換する電力変換装置であるインバータ41の使用が有効であることを使用可否記憶部138に格納してもよい。 The user input reception unit 33 acquires a user instruction for setting to use the solar power generation system 300 via the operation unit 800. When the instruction acquired by the user input reception unit 33 invalidates the use setting of the photovoltaic power generation system 300, the availability setting unit 136 stores in the availability storage unit 138 that the use of the inverter 41 is invalid. . In addition, when the instruction acquired by the user input receiving unit 33 validates the use setting, the use permission setting unit 136 can effectively use the inverter 41 that is a power conversion device that converts the power generated by the solar cell 310. Something may be stored in the availability storage unit 138.
 使用可否記憶部138は、インバータ41の使用が有効か無効かの設定を記憶するメモリであり、例えばインバータ41の使用が有効である場合には1、無効である場合には0のように、有効か無効かを示す情報を格納する不揮発性メモリを用いて実現できる。 The usability storage unit 138 is a memory that stores a setting of whether the use of the inverter 41 is valid or invalid. For example, 1 is used when the use of the inverter 41 is valid, and 0 is used when the use of the inverter 41 is invalid. This can be realized by using a non-volatile memory that stores information indicating validity or invalidity.
 通信部31は、インバータ41との通信接続を試みて、インバータ41と接続可能であれば通信を確立する。使用可否設定部136は、インバータ41の使用が無効の設定となっている場合に、通信部31がインバータ41から通信データを受信したときは、使用可否記憶部138が記憶するインバータ41の使用の設定を自動で有効に変更する。これにより、太陽光発電システム300の出力がないものとして蓄電池モジュール10を放電させることによって、交流電流路に定格以上の電力が供給されることを防止できる。蓄電システム100のユーザまたは施工者は、手動で設定変更をすることが省略でき,ユーザビリティが向上する。 The communication unit 31 attempts communication connection with the inverter 41 and establishes communication if connection with the inverter 41 is possible. When the communication unit 31 receives communication data from the inverter 41 when the use of the inverter 41 is disabled, the usability setting unit 136 uses the inverter 41 stored in the usability storage unit 138. Change the setting automatically to enabled. Thereby, it can prevent that the electric power more than a rating is supplied to an alternating current path by discharging the storage battery module 10 as what does not have the output of the solar power generation system 300. FIG. The user or contractor of the power storage system 100 can omit changing the setting manually, and usability is improved.
 太陽光発電システム300が存在する場合、充放電制御部35は、蓄電池モジュール10の放電量を抑制する。このため、太陽光発電システム300が存在しないにも関わらず、インバータ41の使用が有効設定となっている場合には、蓄電池モジュール10から十分に電力を供給することができなくなりうる。また、太陽光発電システム300が存在する場合であっても、夜間等において太陽電池310の発電がない場合には、インバータ41の電源がオフとなって通信部31との通信が切断されることもある。 When the solar power generation system 300 exists, the charge / discharge control unit 35 suppresses the discharge amount of the storage battery module 10. For this reason, even if the photovoltaic power generation system 300 does not exist, when the use of the inverter 41 is set to be effective, it may not be possible to supply sufficient power from the storage battery module 10. Further, even when the solar power generation system 300 exists, when there is no power generation of the solar cell 310 at night or the like, the power of the inverter 41 is turned off and the communication with the communication unit 31 is disconnected. There is also.
 そこで通知部140は、使用可否設定部136がインバータ41の使用を有効設定とした場合において、通信部31がインバータ41との間で所定の時間内に通信が確立できずに通信が断絶している場合、その旨をエラー通知として表示装置700に出力する。これにより、ユーザは太陽電池310の故障など、太陽光発電システム300のトラブルを認識することが可能となる。 Therefore, when the availability setting unit 136 sets the use of the inverter 41 to be valid, the notification unit 140 disconnects the communication because the communication unit 31 cannot establish communication with the inverter 41 within a predetermined time. If so, this is output to the display device 700 as an error notification. Thereby, the user can recognize troubles of the solar power generation system 300 such as a failure of the solar battery 310.
 ここで「所定の時間」とは、夜間等において太陽電池310の発電がないためインバータ41の電源がオフとなって通信部31との通信が切断されているのか、またはインバータ41の故障等の理由で通信部31との通信が切断されているのかを切り分けるために定められた待機時間である。インバータ41の故障等の理由で通信部31との通信が切断されている場合は、何らかの手段を講じない限り、通信部31との間の通信が回復する見込みは少ないと考えられる。一方、夜間等において太陽電池310の発電がないためインバータ41の電源がオフとなって通信部31との通信が切断されている場合であれば、夜明け後にインバータ41の電源がオンとなり、通信部31との間の通信が回復する。そこで、「所定の時間」として一夜の長さ以上の時間を設定すればよく、一例としては24時間である。 Here, the “predetermined time” refers to whether the inverter 41 is turned off and communication with the communication unit 31 is disconnected because there is no power generation of the solar cell 310 at night, or a failure of the inverter 41 or the like. This is a standby time that is set to determine whether the communication with the communication unit 31 is disconnected for the reason. If communication with the communication unit 31 is cut off due to a failure of the inverter 41 or the like, the communication with the communication unit 31 is unlikely to be recovered unless some measure is taken. On the other hand, if the power of the inverter 41 is turned off and communication with the communication unit 31 is disconnected because there is no power generation of the solar cell 310 at night or the like, the power of the inverter 41 is turned on after dawn, and the communication unit Communication with 31 is restored. Therefore, the “predetermined time” may be set to a time longer than the length of one night, and is 24 hours as an example.
 使用可否設定部136は、ユーザ入力受付部33が太陽光発電システム300の使用を無効とすべき指示をユーザから受け取ると、インバータ41の使用を無効の設定とする。例えば太陽電池310の故障など、ユーザが何らかの理由で太陽光発電システム300の使用を無効設定とすることを望む場合に、簡便に設定変更をすることができる。 When the user input reception unit 33 receives an instruction from the user to invalidate the use of the solar power generation system 300, the use permission setting unit 136 sets the use of the inverter 41 to invalid. For example, when the user desires to disable the use of the solar power generation system 300 for some reason, such as a failure of the solar battery 310, the setting can be easily changed.
 上述したように、太陽光発電システム300は必ずしも蓄電システム100とともに用いられるとは限られない。仮に、蓄電システム100の出荷時の初期設定としてインバータ41の使用が有効と設定されていると、太陽光発電システム300が存在しないシステムに蓄電システム100を設置した場合、通知部140は、インバータ41の使用が有効設定であるにも関わらず通信できないため、エラー通知を表示することになる。そのため、第2の変形例に係る使用可否記憶部138は、出荷時の初期設定としてインバータ41の使用は無効と設定されている。これにより、太陽光発電システム300を使用しない場合に蓄電システム100が設置されたときに、通知部140がエラー通知を表示することがなくなる。 As described above, the solar power generation system 300 is not necessarily used together with the power storage system 100. If the use of the inverter 41 is set to be valid as an initial setting at the time of shipment of the power storage system 100, when the power storage system 100 is installed in a system where the solar power generation system 300 does not exist, the notification unit 140 causes the inverter 41 to An error notification is displayed because communication is not possible even though the use of is enabled. Therefore, in the usability storage unit 138 according to the second modification, the use of the inverter 41 is set to be invalid as an initial setting at the time of shipment. Thereby, when the power storage system 100 is installed when the solar power generation system 300 is not used, the notification unit 140 does not display an error notification.
 また、太陽光発電システム300を使用する場合に蓄電システム100を設置した場合、使用可否設定部136は、通信部31がインバータ41から通信データを受信することを契機として、使用可否記憶部138が記憶するインバータ41の使用の設定を自動で有効に変更する。これにより、ユーザまたは蓄電システム100の施工者は、設置時に蓄電システム100の使用設定を変更する手間を省くこともできる。 In addition, when the power storage system 100 is installed when using the solar power generation system 300, the availability setting unit 136 causes the availability storage unit 138 to be triggered by the communication unit 31 receiving communication data from the inverter 41. The stored use setting of the inverter 41 is automatically and effectively changed. Thereby, the user or the installer of the electrical storage system 100 can also save the effort which changes the use setting of the electrical storage system 100 at the time of installation.
 図12は、第2の変形例に係る蓄電池管理装置130における、インバータ41の使用可能設定への自動変更処理の流れを説明するフローチャートである。 FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the automatic change process to the usable setting of the inverter 41 in the storage battery management device 130 according to the second modification.
 使用可否設定部136は、使用可否記憶部138を参照し、電力変換装置であるインバータ41の使用可否設定を確認する(S50)。インバータ41の使用可否設定が有効の場合(S51のY)、ステップS50に戻り、使用可否設定部136は、インバータ41の使用可否設定の確認処理を継続する。 The availability setting unit 136 refers to the availability storage unit 138 and confirms the availability setting of the inverter 41 that is the power converter (S50). When the availability setting of the inverter 41 is valid (Y in S51), the process returns to step S50, and the availability setting unit 136 continues the confirmation process of the availability setting of the inverter 41.
 インバータ41の使用可否設定が無効の場合(S51のN)、通信部31はインバータ41との間の通信が確立できるか否かを検証する(S52)。通信部31がインバータ41から送信されたデータを受信することでデータ通信が確認できた場合(S53のY)、使用可否設定部136は、インバータ41の使用設定を有効化し、使用可否記憶部138に格納する(S54)。使用可否設定部136がインバータ41使用設定を有効化するか、あるいは通信部31がインバータ41から送信されたデータを受信できない場合(S53のN)、本フローチャートにおける処理は終了する。 When the availability setting of the inverter 41 is invalid (N in S51), the communication unit 31 verifies whether communication with the inverter 41 can be established (S52). When the data communication can be confirmed by the communication unit 31 receiving the data transmitted from the inverter 41 (Y in S53), the availability setting unit 136 validates the usage setting of the inverter 41, and the availability storage unit 138. (S54). When the usability setting unit 136 validates the use setting of the inverter 41 or when the communication unit 31 cannot receive the data transmitted from the inverter 41 (N in S53), the processing in this flowchart ends.
 図13は、第2の変形例に係る蓄電池管理装置130における、エラー通知処理の流れを説明するフローチャートである。 FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of error notification processing in the storage battery management device 130 according to the second modification.
 使用可否設定部136は、使用可否記憶部138を参照し、電力変換装置であるインバータ41の使用可否設定を確認する(S60)。インバータ41の使用可否設定が無効の場合(S61のN)、ステップS60に戻り、使用可否設定部136は、インバータ41の使用可否設定の確認処理を継続する。 The availability setting unit 136 refers to the availability storage unit 138 and confirms the availability setting of the inverter 41 that is the power converter (S60). When the availability setting of the inverter 41 is invalid (N in S61), the process returns to step S60, and the availability setting unit 136 continues the confirmation process of the availability setting of the inverter 41.
 インバータ41の使用可否設定が有効の場合(S61のY)、通信部31はインバータ41との間の通信が確立できるか否かを検証する(S62)。通信部31がインバータ41から送信されたデータを所定の時間内に受信できず、データ通信が確認できない場合(S63のN)、通知部140は、インバータ41の使用可否設定が有効であるがインバータ41と通信できないことをエラーとしてユーザに通知する(S64)。 When the availability setting of the inverter 41 is valid (Y in S61), the communication unit 31 verifies whether communication with the inverter 41 can be established (S62). When the communication unit 31 cannot receive the data transmitted from the inverter 41 within a predetermined time and the data communication cannot be confirmed (N in S63), the notification unit 140 uses the inverter 41 availability setting that is valid. The user is notified of the inability to communicate with the terminal 41 as an error (S64).
 通知部140がエラー通知をするか、あるいは通信部31がインバータ41から送信されたデータを受信した場合(S63のY)、本フローチャートにおける処理は終了する。 When the notification unit 140 gives an error notification, or when the communication unit 31 receives data transmitted from the inverter 41 (Y in S63), the processing in this flowchart ends.
 図14は、第2の変形例に係る蓄電池管理装置130における、インバータ41の使用可能設定への手動変更処理の流れを説明するフローチャートである。 FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the manual change process to the usable setting of the inverter 41 in the storage battery management device 130 according to the second modification.
 ユーザ入力受付部33は、太陽光発電システム300の使用可否設定、すなわち電力変換装置であるインバータ41の使用可否設定に関するユーザの指示を待機する(S70)。ユーザ入力受付部33がインバータ41の使用の無効設定を取得しない間(S71のN)、ユーザ入力受付部33は、ステップS70に戻ってユーザの指示の待機処理を継続する。 The user input reception unit 33 waits for a user instruction regarding the availability setting of the photovoltaic power generation system 300, that is, the availability setting of the inverter 41 that is the power converter (S70). While the user input receiving unit 33 does not acquire the invalid setting for using the inverter 41 (N in S71), the user input receiving unit 33 returns to step S70 and continues the standby process of the user instruction.
 ユーザ入力受付部33がインバータ41の使用の無効設定を取得すると(S71のY)、使用可否設定部136はインバータ41の使用設定を無効化し、使用可否記憶部138に格納する(S72)。使用可否設定部136がインバータ41の使用設定を無効化すると、本フローチャートにおける処理は終了する。 When the user input accepting unit 33 acquires the invalid setting for use of the inverter 41 (Y in S71), the usability setting unit 136 invalidates the use setting of the inverter 41 and stores it in the usability storage unit 138 (S72). When the usability setting unit 136 invalidates the use setting of the inverter 41, the processing in this flowchart ends.
 図15(a)-(d)は、通知部140が表示装置700に表示させる表示画面の一例を示す図である。表示装置700は蓄電池管理装置130による制御の下、各種設定画面、蓄電池モジュール10および太陽光発電システム300のステータス情報などを表示する。この意味で、表示装置700は蓄電池管理装置130の表示部として機能する。また、蓄電池管理装置130と表示装置700とを合わせて、太陽光発電システム300の状態を表示する表示装置として機能する。表示装置700は、例えばLCD(Liquid Crystal Display)、LED(Light Emitting Diode)、有機EL(Electro-Luminescence)パネル等、既知の発光素子や表示デバイスを用いて実現できる。 FIGS. 15A to 15D are diagrams showing examples of display screens that the notification unit 140 displays on the display device 700. FIG. The display device 700 displays various setting screens, status information of the storage battery module 10 and the photovoltaic power generation system 300 under the control of the storage battery management device 130. In this sense, the display device 700 functions as a display unit of the storage battery management device 130. The storage battery management device 130 and the display device 700 together function as a display device that displays the state of the solar power generation system 300. The display device 700 can be realized by using known light emitting elements and display devices such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an LED (Light Emitting Diode), and an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) panel.
 図15(a)は、インバータ41の使用設定が有効の場合の表示装置700が表示する画面を示す図である。例えば、使用可否設定部136がインバータ41の使用設定を変更した場合に、通知部140が表示装置700に表示させる変更後の使用設定を示す画面である。 FIG. 15A is a diagram showing a screen displayed on the display device 700 when the use setting of the inverter 41 is valid. For example, when the usability setting unit 136 changes the use setting of the inverter 41, this is a screen showing the changed use setting that the notification unit 140 displays on the display device 700.
 図15(b)は、インバータ41の使用設定が無効の場合の表示装置700が表示する画面を示す図である。使用可否記憶部138は、出荷時の初期設定としてインバータ41の使用は無効と設定されている。図15(b)は、例えば、使用可否記憶部138が初期設定のとき、通知部140が表示装置700に表示させる画面である。 FIG. 15B is a diagram showing a screen displayed on the display device 700 when the use setting of the inverter 41 is invalid. The usability storage unit 138 is set to disable the use of the inverter 41 as an initial setting at the time of shipment. FIG. 15B shows, for example, a screen that the notification unit 140 displays on the display device 700 when the usability storage unit 138 is initially set.
 図15(c)は、インバータ41の使用設定を初期化するか否かの選択をユーザに示す画面例である。ユーザは操作部800を介して、使用可否設定部136にインバータ41の使用設定を初期化するか否かを指示することができる。なお、操作部800を介してユーザ入力受付部33がインバータ41の使用の無効設定を取得すると、使用可否設定部136がインバータ41の使用設定を無効化する。このとき、通知部140は図15(b)に示す画面を表示装置700に表示させる。 FIG. 15C is an example of a screen showing the user whether or not to initialize the use setting of the inverter 41. The user can instruct the usability setting unit 136 via the operation unit 800 whether to initialize the use setting of the inverter 41. Note that when the user input reception unit 33 obtains the invalid setting of the use of the inverter 41 via the operation unit 800, the usability setting unit 136 invalidates the use setting of the inverter 41. At this time, the notification unit 140 causes the display device 700 to display the screen illustrated in FIG.
 図15(d)は、通知部140が表示装置700に表示させるエラー通知画面の一例を示す図である。より具体的に、図15(d)は、インバータ41の使用可否設定が有効の場合において通信部31がインバータ41から送信されたデータを所定の時間内に受信できないときに、通知部140が表示装置700に表示させる画面を示している。 FIG. 15D is a diagram illustrating an example of an error notification screen that the notification unit 140 causes the display device 700 to display. More specifically, FIG. 15D shows the notification unit 140 when the communication unit 31 cannot receive the data transmitted from the inverter 41 within a predetermined time when the availability setting of the inverter 41 is valid. The screen displayed on the apparatus 700 is shown.
 以上説明したように、本発明の第2の変形例によれば、商用電源である系統電源200を補助するための蓄電システム100において、蓄電池モジュール10と太陽光発電システム300との連携の設定を容易にすることができる。 As described above, according to the second modification of the present invention, in the power storage system 100 for assisting the system power supply 200 that is a commercial power supply, the setting of the cooperation between the storage battery module 10 and the solar power generation system 300 is performed. Can be easily.
 なお、本発明の第2の変形例は、系統電源200に接続された蓄電システム100に太陽光発電システム300を連携させる際、太陽光発電システム300をPVパワーコンディショナ40を介して蓄電システム100に接続する。即ち、交流出力で蓄電池モジュール10及び系統電源200と接続することを前提とした。しかしながら、太陽光発電システム300を、蓄電池パワーコンディショナ20の直流側に接続するシステムにおいても、本発明の第2の変形例が適用できることは、当業者であれば容易に理解できることである。この場合、太陽電池310が発電した直流電力を変換するDC-DCコンバータが、本発明における電力変換装置として機能する。 In the second modification of the present invention, when the solar power generation system 300 is linked to the power storage system 100 connected to the system power supply 200, the solar power generation system 300 is connected to the power storage system 100 via the PV power conditioner 40. Connect to. That is, it was assumed that the storage battery module 10 and the system power supply 200 were connected with an AC output. However, those skilled in the art can easily understand that the second modification of the present invention can also be applied to a system in which the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is connected to the direct current side of the storage battery power conditioner 20. In this case, the DC-DC converter that converts the DC power generated by the solar cell 310 functions as the power conversion device according to the present invention.
 上述の実施の形態および各変形例では系統電源に接続された蓄電システム100に太陽光発電システム300を連携する例を説明した。この点、本発明に係る蓄電システムは太陽光発電システム300以外の、再生可能エネルギーをもとに発電する発電装置と連携することもできる。例えば直流出力の、風力発電装置、マイクロ水力発電装置などが該当する。 In the above embodiment and each modification, the example in which the photovoltaic power generation system 300 is linked to the power storage system 100 connected to the system power supply has been described. In this regard, the power storage system according to the present invention can be linked to a power generation apparatus that generates power based on renewable energy other than the solar power generation system 300. For example, a wind power generator or a micro hydroelectric generator with a direct current output is applicable.
