Residential electric power storage system
A residential electric power storage system includes a lead-in wire, a distribution line, an electric power storage device, a voltage sensor sensing a voltage of the lead-in wire, a current sensor sensing a current charged to the electric power storage device through the distribution line and an electric power adjustment unit adjusting electric power charged to the electric power storage device through the distribution line; and a controller controlling the electric power adjustment unit. If the lead-in wire has voltage smaller than a threshold voltage, the controller controls the electric power adjustment unit to match the current that is charged to the electric power storage device to a command value to provide current control, whereas if the lead-in wire has voltage larger than the threshold voltage, the controller controls the electric power adjustment unit to match the voltage of the lead-in wire to a command value to provide voltage control.
1. A residential electric power storage system, comprising:
a lead-in wire extending from a commercial power supply system connected to an electric power generation device;
a distribution line connected to said lead-in wire for supplying an electrical load of a residence with electric power;
an electric power storage device configured to be capable of supplying said electrical load with electric power;
a voltage sensor sensing a voltage of said lead-in wire;
a current sensor sensing a current charged to said electric power storage device through said distribution line;
an electric power adjustment unit provided between said electric power storage device and said distribution line and adjusting electric power charged to said electric power storage device through said distribution line; and
a controller controlling said electric power adjustment unit,
if said lead-in wire has voltage smaller than a threshold voltage, said controller performing current control controlling said electric power adjustment unit to match the current that is charged to said electric power storage device to a command value, whereas if said lead-in wire has voltage larger than said threshold voltage, said controller performing voltage control controlling said electric power adjustment unit to match the voltage of said lead-in wire to a command value.
2. The residential electric power storage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
said distribution line is configured to be capable of supplying a charging electric power to a battery mounted in an automobile; and
if said lead-in wire has voltage larger than a threshold value, and when said current sensor senses a current larger than a threshold current and said battery also has an electrically chargeable state, said controller performs said voltage control to electrically charge said electric power storage device and also electrically charge said battery.
3. The residential electric power storage system according to claim 2 , wherein said controller performs said voltage control to prevent said lead-in wire from reaching a stopping voltage where said electric power generation device compulsorily stops from generating electric power.
4. The residential electric power storage system according to claim 1 , wherein said controller performs said voltage control to prevent said lead-in wire from reaching a stopping voltage where said electric power generation device compulsorily stops from generating electric power.
