POWER CONNECTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A power connection control system provided with energy provision equipment to be linked to an electric power system, the energy provision equipment that can supply electric power to electrical appliances that a consumer owns, the power connection control system comprising:
- a connection control apparatus that includes an opening/closing device capable of connecting or disconnecting the electric power system and the consumer, and that, when a power outage occurs in the electric power system, disconnects the electric power system and the consumer from each other by the opening/closing device at a command received from the outside; and
a power supply control apparatus that, when the power outage occurs in the electric power system, supplies electric power from the energy provision equipment to the electrical appliances.

Abstract
For each of consumers, a connection control apparatus is provided that includes an opening/closing device capable of connecting or disconnecting an electric power system and a consumer, that, when a power outage occurs in the electric power system, disconnects the electric power system and the consumer from each other by the opening/closing device at a command from an outage management apparatus or the like, and that connects the electric power system and the consumer to each other by the opening/closing device upon receiving a command from the outage management apparatus or the like at the time of restoration from the power outage. A power supply control apparatus supplies electric power from energy provision equipment to electrical appliances during a power outage in the electric power system.

13. A power connection control system provided with energy provision equipment to be linked to an electric power system, the energy provision equipment that can supply electric power to electrical appliances that a consumer owns, the power connection control system comprising:
-
an outage management apparatus that, when a power outage occurs in the electric power system, transmits a parallel-off command to disconnect the electric power system and the consumer from each other and, at the time of restoration from the power outage, transmits a linkage command for linking the electric power system and the consumer to each other; a connection control apparatus that includes an opening/closing device capable of connecting or disconnecting the electric power system and the consumer, and that, when the power outage occurs in the electric power system, disconnects the electric power system and the consumer from each other by the opening/closing device upon receiving the parallel-off command from the outage management apparatus; and a power supply control apparatus that, when the power outage occurs in the electric power system, supplies electric power from the energy provision equipment to the electrical appliances.

14. A power supply control apparatus that supplies electric power from energy provision equipment that can supply electric power to electrical appliances that a consumer owns, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processing section that when a power outage occurs in an electric power system, obtains an amount of electric power providable from the energy provision equipment and power consumption of the electrical appliances, and supplies electric power from the energy provision equipment to part of the electrical appliances with a higher degree of importance within a range in which electric power can be provided from the energy provision equipment, based on the amount of electric power providable from the energy provision equipment and the power consumption of the electrical appliances obtained and degree of importance set for the electrical appliances in advance; a storage section that holds the amount of electric power providable from the energy provision equipment, the power consumptions of the electrical appliances and the degrees of importance set for the electrical appliances in advance; and a communication section that communicates information to or from the energy provision equipment and the electrical appliances. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A connection control apparatus comprising:
-
an opening/closing device that connects or disconnects an electric power system and a consumer; a control device that, when a power outage occurs in the electric power system, disconnects the electric power system and the consumer from each other by the opening/closing device upon receiving a parallel-off command supplied from the outside as a command for disconnecting a consumer accommodated in a power distribution section in which the power outage is occurring; and a communication device that receives the parallel-off command and a linkage command through a predetermined communication line and outputs the commands to said control device. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. An outage management apparatus comprising:
-
a storage section that, when a power outage occurs in an electric power system, holds outage section information provided from the outside and indicating a distribution section where the power outage is occurring, and system consumer accommodation information as information indicating consumers accommodated in the electric power system; a processing section that extracts some of the consumers accommodated in the outage section where the power outage is occurring based on the outage section information and the system consumer accommodation information, transmits to the extracted consumer a parallel-off command for disconnecting the consumer in the outage section from the electric power system and a predicted outage time period input by an operator as a predicted value of an outage time period, and transmits to the consumer in the outage section a linkage command for linking the consumer to the electric power system at the time of restoration from the power outage; and a communication section that, under the control of said processing section, receives the outage section information and the system consumer accommodation information through a predetermined communication line, and transmits the parallel-off command and the linkage command to the consumer accommodated in the distribution section where the power outage is occurring. - View Dependent Claims (19)
