POWER STORAGE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A power storage system comprising:
- a battery apparatus;
a power converter that is provided between the battery apparatus and a load and that can control power supplied from the battery apparatus to the load; and
a battery monitoring circuit that detects an abnormality in the battery apparatus,wherein when an abnormality in the battery apparatus is detected by the battery monitoring circuit, the power converter supplies power stored in the battery apparatus to the load or to an internally provided internal load at or below a current value or power value that is set in advance, or alternatively, at a current value or power value that the load demands, within a range that does not exceed an upper limit that is set in advance.

Abstract
An object is to improve safety. Provided is a power storage system including a battery apparatus 1; a power converter 2 provided between the battery apparatus 1 and a load 3 and that can control power supplied from the battery apparatus 1 to the load 3; and a battery monitoring circuit 4 that detects an abnormality in the battery apparatus 1. When an abnormality in the battery apparatus 1 is detected by the battery monitoring circuit 4, the power converter 2 supplies power stored in the battery apparatus 1 to the load 3 or to an internally provided internal load at or below a current value or power value that is set in advance, or alternatively, at a current value or power value that the load 3 demands, within a range that does not exceed an upper limit that is set in advance.
