1. A control apparatus configured to control a plurality of storage batteries provided in a power consumer, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on type, indicative of whether or not each of the plurality of storage batteries is suitable for an auxiliary charge, from each of the plurality of storage batteries; and
a charge and discharge control unit configured to control charge and discharge of each of the plurality of storage batteries on the basis of the information on the type of each of the plurality of storage batteries,wherein the charge and discharge control unit is configured to associate a first storage battery that is suitable for an auxiliary charge with a distributed power source and schedule a compensating mode as an operation mode applied to the first storage battery, when the plurality of storage batteries include the first storage battery and a plurality of power source include the distributed power source, a performance of the first storage battery being not easily deteriorated due to a memory effect,wherein the charge and discharge control unit is configured to, in the compensating mode, control so as to charge the first storage battery by power provided from the distributed power source when power generated by the distributed power source exceeds a consumption power amount of a load apparatus, and control so as to discharge the first storage battery when the power generated by the distributed power source is insufficient to the consumption power amount of the load apparatus,wherein the charge and discharge control unit is configured to associate a second storage battery that is not suitable for the auxiliary charge with a grid power source and schedule a discharging mode as an operation mode applied to the second storage battery, when the plurality of storage batteries include the second storage battery and the plurality of power source include the grid power source, a performance of the second storage battery being easily deteriorated due to a memory effect, andwherein the charge and discharge control unit is configured to, in the discharging mode, control so as not to charge the second storage battery by the power provided from the distributed power source even when the power generated by the distributed power source exceeds the consumption power amount of the load apparatus, and control so as to discharge the second storage battery when the power generated by the distributed power source is insufficient to the consumption power amount of the load apparatus.

12. A storage battery control method applied to a control system that controls a plurality of storage batteries provided in a power consumer, comprising steps of:
-
acquiring information on type, indicative of whether or not each of the plurality of storage batteries is suitable for an auxiliary charge, from each of the plurality of storage batteries; controlling charge and discharge of each of the plurality of storage batteries on the basis of the information on the type of each of the plurality of storage batteries; associating a first storage battery that is suitable for an auxiliary charge with a distributed power source and scheduling a compensating mode as an operation mode applied to the first storage battery, when the plurality of storage batteries include the first storage battery and a plurality of power source includes the distributed power source, a performance of the first storage battery being not easily deteriorated due to a memory effect; in the compensating mode, controlling so as to charge the first storage battery by power provided from the distributed power source when power generated by the distributed power source exceeds a consumption power amount of a load apparatus, and controlling so as to discharge the first storage battery when the power generated by the distributed power source is insufficient to the consumption power amount of the load apparatus; associating a second storage battery that is not suitable for the auxiliary charge with a grid power source and scheduling a discharging mode as an operation mode applied to the second storage battery, when the plurality of storage batteries include the second storage battery and the plurality of power source includes the grid power source, a performance of the second storage battery being easily deteriorated due to a memory effect; and
,in the discharging mode, controlling so as not to charge the second storage battery by the power provided from the distributed power source even when the power generated by the distributed power source exceeds the consumption power amount of the load apparatus, and controlling so as to discharge the second storage battery when the power generated by the distributed power source is insufficient to the consumption power amount of the load apparatus.
