POWER STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a power storage system which supplies power to a load by connecting the load to a power generation system, a battery, and a grid, the method comprising:
- when a power failure occurs in the grid, determining whether a duration of the power failure between a beginning and an end of the power failure is more than a standard duration;
if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration, determining whether a charging condition of the battery indicates that a state of charge of the battery is equal to or greater than a standard value;
if the duration of the power failure is less than the standard duration or if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration and the state of charge of the battery is equal to or more than the standard value, performing a first power failure returning mode; and
if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration and the state of charge of the battery is less than the standard value, performing a second power failure returning mode.

Abstract
A method of controlling a power storage system for supplying power to a load from a power generation system, a battery, and a grid includes: when power failure occurs in the grid, determining whether duration of the power failure is more than a standard duration; if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration, determining a state of charge of the battery; and when the power failure of the grid has ended, if the duration of the power failure is less than the standard duration or if the state of charge of the battery is equal or more than a standard value, performing a first power failure returning mode; and if the charging condition of the battery is less than the standard value, performing a second power failure returning mode. Accordingly, the power storage system performs a stable operation and prevents lifespan shortening of the battery.

9. A power storage system for supplying power to a load and which connects the load to a power generation system, a battery, and a grid, the power storage system comprising:
-
a battery management system which controls a charging and a discharging of the battery and which determines a state of charge of the battery; and a central controller comprising a duration determination unit which determines a duration of a power failure which occurred in the grid, and, when the power failure in the grid has ended, performs a power failure returning mode selected from multiple power failure returning modes according to the determined duration of the power failure and the determined state of charge of the battery. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program for controlling a power storage system which supplies power to a load by connecting the load to a power generation system, a battery, and a grid, said computer readable recording medium containing instructions for:
-
when a power failure occurs in the grid, determining whether a duration of the power failure between a beginning and an end of the power failure is more than a standard duration; if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration, determining whether a charging condition of the battery indicates that a state of charge of the battery is equal to or greater than a standard value; if the duration of the power failure is less than the standard duration or if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration and the state of charge of the battery is equal to or more than the standard value, performing a first power failure returning mode; and if the duration of the power failure is more than the standard duration and the state of charge of the battery is less than the standard value, performing a second power failure returning mode. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
