Abstract
An operation control device for use in an electric power supply system for supplying electric power from one electric power source to a plurality of electric power consuming systems, which can determine based on an outside signal whether or not the electric power consuming systems can proceed to operations includes an output electric power detecting unit for detecting electric power outputted by the electric power source; and a comparison control unit for comparing a detected value of the output electric power detecting unit with a preset reference value to output a comparison signal indicative of a result of the comparison as the outside signal to be supplied to the plural electric power consuming systems. The comparison signal indicating an inoperable state when the detected value exceeds the reference value, whereby the electric power consuming systems are permitted to proceed to steps of their operations or stand by. As a result, a plurality of electric power systems can be efficiently administered in consideration of a total electric power consumption amount.
