Charging control apparatus, charging system, and charging control method
First Claim
1. A charging control apparatus that controls charging of a plurality of vehicles using a power source, the charging control apparatus comprising:
- an electrical storage that stores supplemental power;
a communicator that receives information relating to requested power demanded from the plurality of vehicles;
a power amount calculator that calculates a total requested power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the received information; and
a controller that controls supply of power to the plurality of vehicles,wherein when the total requested power amount is larger than a second threshold value which corresponds to a sum of a maximum power amount of the power source and the supplemental power of the electrical storage, the controller sets a supply amount of power supplied from the power source and the electrical storage to the plurality of vehicles to be equal to or smaller than the second threshold value.

Abstract
A charging control apparatus (1) that controls charging of a plurality of vehicles connected via a power line is provided with an electrical storage section (41) that stores power supplied from a power source, a communication section that receives information relating to supply power from the plurality of vehicles, a power amount calculation section (43) that calculates a supply power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the information, and a control section that, if the supply power amount exceeds a second threshold value combining a remaining charge amount of the electrical storage section (41) and a contractual power amount, controls supply power for the plurality of vehicles so as to become smaller than the second threshold value.

10. A charging system that performs charging of a plurality of vehicles using a power source, the charging system comprising:
-
a charging control apparatus; and a charging apparatus connected to the charging control apparatus via a power line, wherein; the charging control apparatus includes; an electrical storage that stores supplemental power; a first communicator that receives information relating to requested power demanded by the plurality of vehicles from the charging apparatus and also transmits a control signal to the charging apparatus; a power amount calculator that calculates a total requested power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the received information; and a first controller that generates the control signal to control supply of power to the plurality of vehicles; and the charging apparatus includes; a second communicator that receives the control signal transmitted from the charging control apparatus; and a second controller that controls charging of the plurality of vehicles based on the control signal; wherein when the total requested power amount is larger than a second threshold value which corresponds to a sum of a maximum power amount of the power source and the supplemental power of the electrical storage, the controller sets a supply amount of power supplied from the power source and the electrical storage to the plurality of vehicles to be equal to or smaller than the second threshold value.

11. A charging control method that controls charging of a plurality of vehicles using a power source, the charging control method comprising:
-
storing supplemental power in an electrical storage; receiving information relating to requested power demanded from the plurality of vehicles; calculating a total requested power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the received information; and setting a supply amount of power supplied from the power source and the electrical storage to the plurality of vehicles to be equal to or smaller than the second threshold value, when the total requested power amount is larger than a second threshold value which corresponds to a sum of a maximum power amount of the power source and the supplemental power of the electrical storage.

12. A charging control apparatus that controls charging of a plurality of vehicles from a power source, the charging control apparatus comprising:
-
an electrical storage that stores supplemental power; a communicator that receives information relating to requested power demanded from the plurality of vehicles; a power amount calculator that calculates a total requested power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the received information; and a controller that controls supply of power to the plurality of vehicles, wherein when the total requested power amount is equal to or less than a first threshold value which corresponds to a maximum power amount of the power source, the controller supplies power to the plurality of vehicles only from the power source and not from the electrical storage, when the total requested power amount is larger than the first threshold value and is equal to or less than a second threshold value which corresponds to a sum of the maximum power amount of the power source and the supplemental power of the electrical storage, the controller supplies power to the plurality of vehicles from the power source and the electrical storage, and when the total requested power amount is larger than the second threshold value, the controller sets a supply amount of power supplied from the power source and the electrical storage to the plurality of vehicles to be equal to or smaller than the second threshold value.
