Abstract

A storage battery system connected to a power system includes: a storage battery; a BMU which monitors a state of the storage battery with a first sensor; a PCS which charges the storage battery and discharges from the storage battery with reference to an output value of a second sensor similar in type to the first sensor; and a control device. The control device receives a charge/discharge request and storage battery information supplied from the BMU and controls the PCS based on the charge/discharge request and the storage battery information. An abnormality detection unit of the control device acquires the output value of the second sensor from the PCS, and detects abnormality of any sensor as a result of comparison between the output value of the second sensor and an output value of the first sensor included in the storage battery information.
