An
electrical energy storage system (20A) that stores electrical energy received from an environmental power generation power source and supplies the
stored energy to an applied
workload includes an input section (N21) that receives electrical energy from the environmental power generation power source. This
system (20A) includes a first
electrical energy storage section (24) having a first storage capacity and a second
electrical energy storage section (25) having a second storage capacity larger than the first storage capacity. The
system also includes an output section (N22) that provides electrical energy from the second electrical
energy storage section (25) to the applied
workload. When the
control circuit section determines and determines that the timing when the first charging condition is satisfied is satisfied, the first electrical
energy storage section (24) is electrically disconnected from the second electrical
energy storage section (25), and the first electrical energy storage section (24) is electrically connected to the input section (N21), and electrical energy is passed from the input section (N21) to the first electrical energy storage section (24). When the
control circuit section determines and determines that the timing when the second charging condition is satisfied is satisfied, the first electrical energy storage section (24) is electrically disconnected from the input section (N21), and the first electrical energy storage section (24) is electrically connected to the second electrical energy storage section (25), and electrical energy is passed from the first electrical energy storage section (24) to the second electrical energy storage section (25).
