  • Patent number: 11929621
    Abstract: A power control apparatus for a distributed power supply interconnected with a power system includes: a conversion circuit that performs reverse conversion of converting power supplied from the distributed power supply from direct current to alternating current and outputting the converted power; and a control device that controls the conversion circuit. The control device changes a target value of received power at a power reception point of the power system on the basis of a predicted value of a power generation amount of the distributed power supply and a predicted value of power consumption of a demand facility, and controls an output of the conversion circuit such that the received power at the power reception point becomes a target value.

  • Publication number: 20220416540
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an energy management device 50 of a microgrid S1 which is associated with a power system 1 and is provided with a power storage device 15, the energy management device calculating a target value of received power of the microgrid, the target value optimizing the utilization efficiency of the energy of the microgrid S1, on the basis of power demand prediction in the microgrid S1 by taking, as constraint conditions, the upper and lower limits of the received power of the microgrid S1 and the upper and lower limits of output power of the power storage device.
