Title:
CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM, AND NATURAL ENERGY GENERATION APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/112454
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A secondary cell is caused to operate efficiently in response to the weather. A control apparatus (10) for controlling the charging and discharging of a secondary cell (20) connected to an electrical generation device for generating electricity using natural energy, wherein the apparatus is equipped with: a control unit (13) for controlling the charging and discharging of the secondary cell (20) so that a target charging rate, which is the target charging rate for the secondary cell (20), is maintained; an estimation unit (11) for estimating the amount of electric power generated using the electrical generation device after a prescribed amount of time has elapsed, on the basis of weather predictions affecting the amount of electric power of the electrical generation device; and a charging rate change unit (12) for changing the target charging rate when the difference between the amount of electric power generated after a prescribed amount of time has elapsed estimated by the estimation unit (11), and the current amount of electric power of the electrical generation device, is determined to be larger than a prescribed value.
