Abstract

A power management system is provided. The power management system includes a battery energy storage system (BESS) configured to obtain a state of charge (SOC) information, the state of charge (SOC) information including a charge state of the battery and a charging control unit configured to control charging or discharging of the BESS. The charging control unit is configured to compare a desired SOC and a measured SOC based on the obtained SOC information, and regulate a charging power value of a battery and a discharging power of the battery to match with the desired SOC, when as a result of comparison, the desired SOC and the measured SOC are different from each other.

Claims

1. A power management system connected to a generator or a battery and supplying power to a load, the power management system comprising:

a battery energy storage system (BESS) configured to obtain a state of charge (SOC) information, the state of charge (SOC) information including a charge state of the battery; and

a charging control unit configured to control charging or discharging of the BESS,

wherein the charging control unit is configured to;

compare a desired SOC and a measured SOC based on the obtained SOC information, and

regulate a charging power value of the battery and a discharging power value of the battery to match with the desired SOC, when as a result of the comparison, the desired SOC and the measured SOC are different from each other, and

wherein the charging control unit is configured to;

raise the charging power value of the battery when a slope of the measured SOC is smaller than a slope of the desired SOC during the charging of the battery, wherein the charging power value of the battery is increased linearly during the charging of the battery, and

decrease the discharging power value of the battery when the slope of the measured SOC is smaller than the slope of the desired SOC during the discharging of the battery, wherein the discharging power value of the battery is decreased linearly during the discharging of the battery.

2. The power management system according to claim 1, wherein the SOC information comprises charging scheduling information on the battery and discharging scheduling information on the battery.

3. The power management system according to claim 2, wherein the charging scheduling information and the discharging scheduling information each varies according to a temperature.

4. The power management system according to claim 1, wherein the charging control unit is configured to enable the desired SOC to be a same as the measured SOC at a time when a charging schedule of the battery ends.

5. The power management system according to claim 1, wherein the charging control unit is configured to further maintain the charging of the battery in a case that the measured SOC does not reach the desired SOC at a time when a charging schedule of the battery ends.

6. The power management system according to claim 1, wherein the charging control unit is configured to enable the desired SOC to be a same as the measured SOC at a time when a discharging schedule of the battery ends.

7. The power management system according to claim 1, wherein the generator is at least one of a sunlight generation device, a wind power generation system, a power station, and a renewable energy source.
