Abstract
The power supplying system is provided with: a timing determining unit for determining the timing at which charging and/or discharging of a storage battery, which stores power by being charged and supplies power by being discharged, is to be executed; and a controllable period estimation unit for estimating a controllable period, which is a period of time wherein the timing determining unit is able to determine the timing at which to execute the charging or discharging of the storage battery. The timing determining unit determines the timing at which to execute the charging and/or discharging of the storage battery on the basis of the controllable period.

13. A power control apparatus that supplies electric power to a load via a charger/discharger and controls a plurality of storage batteries into which electric power supplied via the charger/discharger is charged, the power control apparatus comprising:
-
a time period estimation portion that estimates a control-enabled time period of each of the plurality of storage batteries connected to the charger/discharger; a determination portion that, based on the control-enabled time period, determines a timing for performing at least one of charging and discharging of each of the plurality of storage batteries; and a setting portion that sets a recommended discharging time period in which each of the storage batteries should be discharged, wherein each of the plurality of storage batteries is provided in an electric-powered vehicle, based on a time period for which the electric-powered vehicle is intended to be parked, the time period estimation portion estimates the control-enabled time period of each of the storage batteries, the determination portion determines at least part of an overlapping time period between the control-enabled time period and the recommended discharging time period as a discharging timing of each of the storage batteries, and the determination portion performs switching between respective charging timings of the plurality of storage batteries so that the respective charging timings are shifted from each other and switching between respective discharging timings thereof so that the respective discharging timings are shifted from each other. - View Dependent Claims (14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
