POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM, AND POWER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD AND POWER SUPPLY CONTROL PROGRAM EMPLOYED IN POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A power supply system, comprising:
- a power supply which supplies electric power to a load device;
an electrical storage device which, during stoppage of said power supply, supplies electric power to said load device in place of said power supply; and
a controller which controls the supply of power from said electrical storage device to said load device by monitoring a state of said electrical storage device and detecting an abnormal state of said electrical storage device;
and characterized in thatupon acquiring disaster information predicting stoppage of said power supply, said control device shortens a monitoring period for monitoring the state of said electrical storage device.

Abstract
A power supply system 10 comprises a power supply 100 which supplies power to a load device 200; an electrical storage device 300 which supplies power to the load device 200 in place of the power supply 100 when the power supply 100 is stopped; and a power supply control device 500 which controls the supply of power from the electrical storage device 300 to the load device 200 by monitoring a state of the electrical storage device 300 and detecting an abnormal state of the electrical storage device 300. Upon acquiring disaster information predicting stoppage of the power supply 100, the power supply control device 500 shortens a monitoring period for monitoring the state of the electrical storage device 300, so that the state of the electrical storage device 300 can be reliably monitored during stoppage of the power supply 100, and thereby backup functions can be continued over as long a time period as possible.

7. A power supply control method of a power supply system that has an electrical storage device which, at the time of stoppage of a power supply for supplying electric power to a load device, supplies power to said load device in place of said power supply, and that controls the supply of power from said electrical storage device to said load device by monitoring a state of said electrical storage device and detecting an abnormal state of said electrical storage device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring the state of said electrical storage device with a first monitoring period to monitor the state of said electrical storage device, and detecting an abnormal state of said electrical storage device during normal operation of said power supply; and monitoring the state of said electrical storage device with a second monitoring period shorter than said first monitoring period, and detecting an abnormal state of said electrical storage device upon acquisition of disaster information predicting stoppage of said power supply.

8. A power supply control program of a power supply system that has an electrical storage device which, at the time of stoppage of a power supply for supplying electric power to a load device, supplies power to said load device in place of said power supply, and that controls the supply of power from said electrical storage device to said load device by monitoring a state of said electrical storage device and detecting an abnormal state of said electrical storage device, the program causing a computer to function as:
-
an information acquisition section which acquires disaster information predicting stoppage of said power supply; and an abnormality detection section which monitors the state of said electrical storage device with a monitoring period for monitoring the state of the electrical storage device, and detects an abnormal state of said electrical storage device, and characterized in that said abnormality detection section performs monitoring with a first monitoring period during normal operation of said power supply, and performs monitoring with a second monitoring period shorter than said first monitoring period when said disaster information is acquired.
