Abstract: A charge and discharge control method for a charge and discharge element is performed every control cycle from a start time. Electric energy consumption is measured by integrating electric power consumption of a group including one or more charge and discharge elements, as a whole, from the start time to a control time at which one or more control cycles have elapsed. Target electric energy is acquired by integrating target electric power predetermined for the group as a whole from the start time to the control time. A command value is determined based on an average electric energy, which is obtained by dividing an energy difference electric obtained by subtracting the electric energy consumption from the target electric energy. The one or more charge and discharge elements autonomously control their own charge and discharge electric power based on the command value.

Abstract: 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.
