A charge-discharge control system is provided in which each of a plurality of charge-discharge elements autonomously controls charging-discharging. The charge-discharge control system includes an external control device that broadcasts a control signal to the charge-discharge elements that perform charging-discharging; and an authentication device that permits charging-discharging of each of the charge-discharge elements. The charge-discharge elements having received the control signal transmit, to the authentication device, a permission request signal, which is based on the received control signal. The authentication device having received the permission request signal determines whether the permission request signal is a permission request signal based on the control signal received by the charge-discharge elements, and the authentication device connects a power line for performing charging-discharging to the charge-discharge elements if the authentication device determines that the permission request signal is the permission request signal based on the control signal received by the charge-discharge elements.
