AVAILABILITY PREDICTION APPARATUS FOR ELECTRIC POWER STORAGE DEVICE
First Claim
1. An availability prediction apparatus for an electric power storage device of an electric power system that executes an electric power transfer control using the electric power storage device, the availability prediction apparatus comprising:
- an access section that accesses a storage section storing a plurality of availability specified periods occurred before a present time associated with respective frequencies of the availability specified periods and acquires the availability specified periods and the respective frequencies of the availability specified periods from the storage section, the availability specified periods being available periods or unavailable periods, wherein, during the available periods, the electric power storage device is available for the electric power transfer control, and during the unavailable periods, the electric power storage device is unavailable for the electric power transfer control; and
a prediction section that executes a prediction process in order to predict at least one target availability specified period to be occurred within a prediction term based on the availability specified periods and the respective frequencies of the availability specified periods acquired by the access section, the prediction term beginning at the present time and ending at a time later than the present time by a predetermined term,wherein the prediction section includes;
a correlating section that correlates the availability specified periods acquired by the access section with a plurality of candidate periods included in the prediction term; and
a selection section that specifies and selects one of the candidate periods having a highest occurrence probability, which is correlated with one of the availability specified periods having a highest frequency,wherein the prediction section sets the one of the candidate periods having the highest occurrence probability as the target availability specified period, andwherein the electric power transfer control is executed within the electric power system based on the target availability specified period.

Abstract
An availability prediction apparatus includes an access section that accesses a storage section and a prediction section. The storage section stores availability specified periods occurred before a present time associated with respective frequencies of the availability specified periods, and the access section acquires the availability specified periods from the storage section. The prediction section predicts at least one target availability specified period within a prediction term, which begins at the present time and ends at a time later than the present time by a predetermined term. The prediction section includes a correlating section that correlates the availability specified periods with candidate periods included in the prediction term, and a selection section that specifies and selects one of the candidate periods having a highest occurrence probability as the target availability specified period.
