  • Patent number: 11342595
    Abstract: A power consumption control device includes: a storage battery; a heating unit; a storage unit storing a combination of a temperature of the storage battery and a remaining capacity of the storage battery in association with an increase amount in an effective capacity of the storage battery when the storage battery is heated by the heating unit which is supplied with each of the heating powers; a control unit configured to determine a first power which can be charged to the storage battery and to distribute the first power to the storage battery and the heating unit so that the increase amount in the effective capacity of the storage battery is maximized based on the first power, the increase amount for each of heating powers corresponding to the temperature of the storage battery and the remaining capacity of the storage battery, and the heating powers.

  • Publication number: 20190326652
    Abstract: A power supply device for a vehicle includes a battery, an air conditioning device, a battery temperature regulating device, and a control device. The control device includes an air conditioning control part that starts operation of the air conditioning device at an air conditioning start time preset by a user, and a battery temperature control part that sets a battery temperature regulation start time at which operation of the battery temperature regulating device is started based on the air conditioning start time and a battery temperature. Therefore, not only is it possible to alleviate burden on the battery by shortening a state in which both the air conditioning device and the battery temperature regulating device are operating, but it is also possible to eliminate inconvenience for a user to set both the air conditioning start time and the battery temperature regulation start time.
