Abstract

An EMS (200) receives at least one of a message indicating a rated output of the storage battery (141) and a message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery (141), from the power storage apparatus (140).

Claims

1. A management method used in a management system comprising a power storage apparatus which comprises a storage battery which accumulates power, and a control apparatus which communicates with the power storage apparatus, comprising:

a step of transmitting at least one of a message indicating a rated output of the storage battery and a message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery, from the power storage apparatus to the control apparatus.

2. The management method according to claim 1, wherein the message indicating the rated output of the storage battery is a message indicating the rated output in a self-sustained operation state in which the power storage apparatus is disconnected from a grid.

3. The management method according to claim 1, further comprising a step of transmitting a message indicating an existence or non-existence of a function of transmitting the rated output of the storage battery from the power storage apparatus to the control apparatus, before a communication of the message indicating the rated output of the storage battery.

4. The management method according to claim 3, wherein the message indicating the existence or non-existence of the function is transmitted from the control apparatus to the power storage apparatus at a timing of performing an initial settings of the power storage apparatus, a timing of restoration from a power failure, a timing of turning ON a power supply of the power storage apparatus, a timing of turning ON a power supply of the control apparatus, and a timing when it becomes necessary to check settings of the power storage apparatus.

5. The management method according to claim 1, further comprising a step of transmitting a message indicating an existence or non-existence of a function of transmitting number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery from the control apparatus to the power storage apparatus, before a communication of the message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery.

6. The management method according to claim 5, wherein the message indicating the existence or non-existence of the function is transmitted from the control apparatus to the power storage apparatus at a timing of performing an initial settings of the power storage apparatus, a timing of restoration from a power failure, a timing of turning ON a power supply of the power storage apparatus, a timing of turning ON a power supply of the control apparatus, and a timing when it becomes necessary to check settings of the power storage apparatus.

7. A control apparatus which communicates with a power storage apparatus which comprises a storage battery which accumulates power, comprising:

a communication unit which receives at least one of a message indicating a rated output of the storage battery and a message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery, from the power storage apparatus.

8. A power storage apparatus which comprises a storage battery which accumulates power, comprising:

a communication unit which transmits at least one of a message indicating a rated output of the storage battery and a message indicating number of charged and discharged times of the storage battery, to the control apparatus which communicates with the power storage apparatus.
