- this time limit period T2 is set to a time length corresponding to the magnitude of the planned discharge power amount estimated by the estimation unit 15. Specifically, if the planned discharge power amount is small, the time limit T2 is set to the time limit T2a having a short time length (the start timing of the time limit T2 is delayed). Also, if the planned discharge power amount is large, the time limit period T2 is set to the long time limit time period T2b (the start timing of the time limit period T2 becomes earlier).

As a result, even when the planned discharge power amount is large, the remaining power amount of the storage battery 5 can be sufficiently secured.
- the start timing of the time limit period T2 is set, for example, after 0 o'clock, and is set every day.

If the remaining power amount of storage battery 5 is equal to or less than threshold value K 1 before specific time zone T1, control unit 11 performs discharge prohibition control for prohibiting the discharge of storage battery 5.
- the charge / discharge control device 1 can set the threshold value K1 based on the planned discharge amount in the specific time zone T1 for each home, and comparing the remaining power amount of the storage battery 5 with the threshold value K1 Whether or not it can be determined. That is, when the remaining power of storage battery 5 is equal to or less than threshold value K 1, charge / discharge control device 1 prohibits the discharge of storage battery 5 so that the remaining power of storage battery 5 can cover the planned discharge power. Control can be performed.
- charge / discharge control device 1 can appropriately secure the remaining power amount of storage battery 5 before the specific time zone T1.
- control unit 11 may perform discharge permission control for permitting discharge of storage battery 5 if the remaining power amount of storage battery 5 is larger than threshold value K1 before the specific time zone T1.
- the remaining power amount of the storage battery 5 is effectively used prior to the specific time zone T1.
- the purchase amount of commercial power is suppressed, and the power cost is suppressed.
- the setting unit 12 may increase the threshold K1 as the planned discharge power amount is larger. Thereby, the threshold value K1 is appropriately set.
- the setting unit 12 may further increase the threshold K1 as the current time is closer to the specific time zone T1. Thereby, the charge / discharge control device 1 achieves both utilization of the remaining power of the storage battery 5 (suppression of the purchase amount of commercial power) and securing of the remaining power of the storage battery 5 before the specific time period T1. be able to.
- control unit 11 may start the discharge restriction to perform the discharge prohibition control as soon as the amount of remaining power of the storage battery 5 is equal to or less than the threshold K1 as the planned amount of discharge is larger. Thereby, charge / discharge control device 1 can sufficiently ensure the remaining power of storage battery 5 even when the planned discharge power is large.
- the specific time zone T1 may include a time when the amount of power consumed by the load 7 is a maximum during one day. Thereby, charge / discharge control device 1 can appropriately secure the remaining power amount of storage battery 5 before the specific time period T1 including the time when the load power amount is at the peak.
- the specific time zone T1 may include a time zone in which the unit price of the commercial power supplied to the load 7 is higher than that in the other time zones.
- charge / discharge control device 1 can appropriately secure the remaining power amount of storage battery 5 before the specific time period T1 where the power unit price is relatively high.
