At least one of a message indicating a spec of a PV apparatus () and a message indicating a status of the PV apparatus () is standardized between an EMS () and the PV apparatus ().

Management system, management method, control apparatus, and photovoltaic cell apparatus

An EMS () receives at least one of a message indicating a rated output of the storage battery () and a message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery (), from the power storage apparatus ().

Battery monitoring

A PCS comprises a DC/DC convertor that converts a voltage of a DC power input from a solar cell; an inverter that converts the DC power to an AC power; and a controllerthat stops an operation of the DC/AC convertor without stopping the inverter when a condition that stops an output of the solar cell is satisfied.

Power converting apparatus and power converting method

A power control apparatus comprises a conversion unit which is capable of collectively converting DC power output by each of the plurality of power supply apparatuses to AC; and a communication unit which communicates with an external equipment control apparatus in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol. The communication unit notifies the equipment control apparatus of an equipment class of the power control apparatus in addition to notifying the equipment control apparatus of an equipment class of each of the plurality of power supply apparatuses.

Power control apparatus, equipment control apparatus, and method

This system can manage efficient operation control among distributed power sources without impairing their versatility. This power control system includes distributed power sources including a storage cell () and a power generation device () that generates power while a current sensor () detects forward power flow, and a power control device () including a first power converter () that converts AC power from a commercial power grid to DC power and supplies the DC power to the storage cell () during an interconnected operation, a supply unit that supplies power generated by the power generation device () to the storage cell () during an independent operation, and an independent operation switch () opened during the interconnected operation and closed during the independent operation to cause output from the first power converter () to flow in a forward power flow direction through the current sensor ().

Power control system, power control device, and method for controlling power control system

This system can manage efficient operation control among distributed power sources without impairing their versatility. This power control system includes a power generation device () that generates power while a current sensor () detects forward power flow and another distributed power source (), and a power control device () including an output unit () capable of outputting power from the other distributed power source () while the power generation device () and the other distributed power source () are disconnected from the grid. Output from the output unit () allows supply of dummy current to the current sensor (), the dummy current flowing in the same direction as the forward power flow.

A power conditioner system includes a power-generation power conditionerfor connecting a power generation equipmentto a gridand a power-storage power conditionerfor connecting a power storage equipmentto the gridwherein the power conditionerincludes an independent-power-generation output unitfor outputting, separately from power supply to the gridpower based on power of the power generation equipmentand the power conditionerincludes an independent-power-storage output unitfor outputting, separately from power supply to the gridpower based on power in the power storage equipmentThe power conditionersupplies at least one of AC power based on the output of the independent-power-generation output unitAC power based on the output of the independent-power-storage output unitand system power of the gridto an independent output systemhaving a predetermined load.

Information that is no longer valid due to the passage of time is not provided to a user. When a stock price information server acquires updated stock price information from a securities market network, a message that instructs that a predetermined application be started up and to which a term of validity has been attached is sent to a user terminal over a paging channel via an SMS server. When the user terminal receives the message, it determines whether or not the message is within the term of validity, and if it determines that the message is within the term of validity, starts up the instructed application from among a plurality of applications that are stored. The stock price information server then sends to the user terminal the stock price information that is requested by the started up application.
