Abstract

A storage battery system connected to a power system and operative based on a charge/discharge request from an EMS includes: a battery management unit configured to monitor a state of the storage battery; a power conditioning system; a control device configured to receive the charge/discharge request and storage battery information supplied from the battery management unit and to control the power conditioning system based thereon; an on-site monitoring and operating device directly connected to the control device, the on-site monitoring and operating device including a display unit configured to display the storage battery information and an operation unit configured to enable an on-site charge/discharge request to the AC-DC converter to be input. The control device includes an on-site request adjustment unit configured to receive the on-site charge/discharge request and the storage battery information and to determine a charge/discharge command to the power conditioning system based thereon.

Claims (17)

1. A storage battery system connected to a power system and operative based on a charge/discharge request from an energy management system that manages electric power supply/demand of the power system, the storage battery system comprising:

a storage battery;

battery management circuitry configured to monitor a state of the storage battery;

a power conditioning system configured to convert AC power of the power system into DC power and charge the storage battery with the DC power and to convert DC power of the storage battery into AC power and discharge the AC power to the power system;

control circuitry configured to receive the charge/discharge request from the energy management system that manages electric power supply/demand of the power system and receive storage battery information supplied from the battery management circuitry and to control the power conditioning system based on the charge/discharge request and the storage battery information; and

an on-site monitoring and operating device directly connected to the control device, the on-site monitoring and operating device including a display configured to display the storage battery information and operation circuitry configured to enable an on-site charge/discharge request to the power conditioning system to be input, wherein

the control circuitry further includes on-site request adjustment circuitry configured to receive the on-site charge/discharge request and the storage battery information and to determine a charge/discharge command to the power conditioning system based on the on-site charge/discharge request and the storage battery information, and

wherein the control circuitry is configured to override specific values of the charge/discharge request or the on-site charge/discharge request when determining the charge/discharge command to the power conditioning system.

2. The storage battery system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control circuitry is further configured to perform interlock processing upon detection of abnormality of the storage battery system, the interlock processing corresponding to a content of the detected abnormality.

3. The storage battery system according to claim 1 , wherein

the on-site request adjustment circuitry calculates chargeable/dischargeable electric power based on the storage battery information and determines a charge/discharge command to the power conditioning system based on the on-site charge/discharge request by using the chargeable/dischargeable electric power as a constraint condition.

4. The storage battery system according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery management circuitry monitors the state of the storage battery on a constant basis.

5. The storage battery system according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage battery is formed with a plurality of cells arranged in series, and

the display displays voltage states of the respective cells of the storage battery, and a temperature state of the storage battery based on the storage battery information.
