When DC power to be supplied from a main power supply device drops and a voltage to be input to a load falls below a predetermined threshold value, a microcomputer controls a switch unit so as to start an ON-operation for supplying the DC power from a sub power supply device to the load, and when the DC power to be supplied from the main power supply device recovers, the microcomputer controls the switch unit so as to start an OFF-operation for restricting the DC power to be supplied from the sub power supply device to the load, restrict supply of the DC power from the sub power supply device to the load so that a voltage to be input to the load does not fall below a predetermined threshold value until a predetermined time has elapsed since start of the OFF-operation, and set supply of the DC power from the sub power supply device to the load to zero after the predetermined time has elapsed.

Power supply system and electricity storage device

The backup power supply apparatus is an apparatus that supplies power to a power-supply target apparatus operating by power supply from an external power source when a power supply state of the external power source is emergency. The backup power supply apparatus includes: a power storage section; a series regulator that is located on a line connecting the power storage section and the power-supply target apparatus; and control circuitry that changes an output voltage of the series regulator in multiple stages in accordance with a change in the power supply state of the external power source and a change in a voltage of the power storage section.

Backup power supply apparatus and backup power supply apparatus controlling method

Provided is a backup power supply that efficiently supplies power under the control of a microcomputer. The backup power supply is charged by a rectifier for generating power of a predetermined voltage, and supplies power to a load device operating with power supplied from the rectifier when the supplied power is insufficient. The backup power supply includes a secondary battery to be charged with power from the rectifier, a control unit for controlling charging and discharging of the secondary battery, and an input/output voltage detection unit for detecting the output voltage from the rectifier. The control unit stops charging of the secondary battery or reduces a charging current flow of the secondary battery when the output voltage drops to a first threshold voltage or less.

Backup power supply device and method for controlling backup power supply device

A backup power supply device to be connected to a conduction path from an external power supply to an external load includes a plurality of secondary batteries connected in parallel, a plurality of charging switches that can individually pass and cut off charging power from the conduction path to the plurality of secondary batteries, and a control device for performing discharging control on the plurality of secondary batteries when the power supply voltage of the conduction path drops below a predetermined power failure detection threshold value. When battery voltages of the plurality of secondary batteries drop below a predetermined charging start threshold value, the control device performs charging control with a time difference set between charging start timings of the secondary batteries.
