Abstract

According to aspects of embodiments of the present invention, an auxiliary power system includes: a plurality of storage batteries having different charge/discharge characteristics; a receiving unit configured to externally receive a value for instructing to charge/discharge power for charging/discharging the plurality of storage batteries; and a control unit configured to calculate an indicator value indicating a spread degree of distribution of the value for instructing to charge/discharge power and to change one or more of the storage batteries to be charged/discharged from the plurality of storage batteries according to the indicator value.

Claims (21)

1. An auxiliary power system comprising:

a plurality of storage batteries having different charge/discharge characteristics;

a receiving unit configured to externally receive a value for instructing to charge/discharge power for charging/discharging the plurality of storage batteries; and

a control unit configured to calculate an indicator value indicating a spread degree of distribution of the value for instructing to charge/discharge power and to change one or more of the storage batteries to be charged/discharged from the plurality of storage batteries according to the indicator value.

2. The auxiliary power system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of storage batteries comprises:

a first storage battery in which more power charging/discharging is performed with respect to electrical capacitance; and

a second storage battery in which less power charging/discharging is performed with respect to the electrical capacitance than in the first storage battery, wherein the control unit, after comparing a threshold value, based on the indicator value, with the value for instructing to charge/discharge power, is configured to charge/discharge the first storage battery when an absolute value of the value for instructing to charge/discharge power is greater than an absolute value of the threshold value, and to charge/discharge the second storage battery when an absolute value of the value for instructing to charge/discharge power is smaller than an absolute value of the threshold value.

3. The auxiliary power system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control electrical capacitance of each storage battery of the plurality of storage batteries to approximate a target value.

4. The auxiliary power system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to calculate the indicator value according to the value for instructing to charge/discharge power during a control reference period according to an installation condition of the auxiliary power system.

5. The auxiliary power system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to calculate a normal distribution by calculating a standard deviation as the indicator value when applying the value for instructing to charge/discharge power to the normal distribution.

6. The auxiliary power system of claim 5 , wherein the control unit is configured to multiply a deviation value based on the standard deviation and an occurring frequency of the normal distribution to calculate an estimated distribution of an amount of power charged/discharged.

7. An auxiliary power system comprising:

a plurality of storage batteries having different charge/discharge characteristics;

a receiving unit configured to receive generated power data corresponding to an amount of power generated via an external power generation system;

a calculation unit configured to calculate target charge/discharge power data corresponding to a required amount of power charged/discharged based on a predetermined number of recently received pieces of the generated power data and to calculate a probability distribution from a group of the target charge/discharge power data; and

a control unit configured to selectively charge/discharge the plurality of storage batteries based on the probability distribution.

8. The auxiliary power system of claim 7 , wherein the calculation unit is configured to calculate an estimated distribution of the charge/discharge power data of a following second period, and the control unit is configured to selectively charge/discharge the plurality of storage batteries according to the estimated distribution of the charge/discharge power data.

9. The auxiliary power system of claim 8 , wherein the estimated distribution of the charge/discharge power data is calculated by multiplying a deviation value and an occurring frequency of the probability distribution.

10. The auxiliary power system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of storage batteries comprise a first storage battery and a second storage battery, a threshold value is calculated based on state of charge (SOC) values of the first storage battery and the second storage battery and the estimated distribution of the charge/discharge power data, and the control unit is configured to control charge/discharge of the first storage battery and the second storage battery based on the threshold value.

11. The auxiliary power system of claim 10 , wherein a charge/discharge rate of the first storage battery is greater than that of the second storage battery, and

the control unit is configured to charge/discharge the first storage battery when an absolute value of a value of the target charge/discharge power data is greater than an absolute value of the threshold value, and to charge/discharge the second storage battery when an absolute value of a value of the target charge/discharge power data is less than an absolute value of the threshold value.
