Abstract
A power storage device includes a storage battery capable of transferring electric power to and from an external electric power network, a receiver configured to receive an instruction related to transfer of the electric power, and a controller configured to control charge and discharge of the storage battery according to the instruction. The instruction includes a first instruction for requesting switching between short-term charge and discharge from the storage battery to the electric power network, and a second instruction for requesting continuous discharge from the storage battery to the electric power network. The instruction allowed by the controller varies depending on a variable representing a state of charge of the storage battery by a level of a value.
