Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a power storage control device and a power storage control method, and further to a program for realizing these. [Background technology]

[0002] Renewable energy generated by solar panels and wind turbines is difficult to control because the amount of power it generates is dependent on the weather. When power generation exceeds demand, it is necessary to find ways to avoid wasting the generated energy.

[0003] When power generation exceeds demand, there are known technologies for sharing surplus power through a power grid (for example, a feed-in tariff system for renewable energy) and for storing the surplus power in a storage battery. Patent Document 1 also discloses a configuration for predicting the generation of surplus power.

[0004] The charging guidance device described in Patent Document 1 includes a surplus prediction value acquisition unit that acquires a predicted surplus value of power that can be used for charging and that is supplied from a private power generation facility using renewable energy, a charging time adjustment unit that adjusts the charging times of multiple electric vehicles based on the predicted surplus value, and a charging time guidance unit that notifies users of multiple electric vehicles to charge at their charging times.As a result, by having multiple users of electric vehicles charge at their charging times, it becomes less likely that a power shortage will occur due to a concentration of charging demand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-158100 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Incidentally, there are cases where a power generation base has surplus power and wants to share this surplus power with an area other than the power generation base. However, if there is no power transmission network between the power generation base and the other area, or if there is a power transmission network but the transmission capacity is small, the surplus power cannot be shared between the power generation base and the other area. Furthermore, even if the power generation base has a storage battery, it cannot store surplus power that exceeds the capacity of the storage battery.

[0007] If surplus electricity could be transported from a power generation base to another area using an electric vehicle or the like, it would be possible to interchange electricity between the power generation base and another area. Thus, if an appropriate electric vehicle could be selected to transport surplus electricity, the surplus electricity could be used more effectively. However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose a configuration for a transport vehicle that transports surplus electricity to an electric vehicle.

[0008] An example of an objective of the present disclosure is to solve the above problem and make it possible to more effectively utilize surplus power. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, a power storage control device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a prediction unit that predicts the generation of surplus power from the power generation device; a selection unit that selects, when the generation of surplus power is predicted, a mobile object that satisfies a predetermined condition from among a plurality of mobile objects that have a storage battery; an instruction unit that instructs the selected mobile object to move to a power supply point where power is supplied from the power generation device to the mobile object; It is equipped with:

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, a power storage control method according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a prediction step of predicting generation of surplus power of a power generation device; a selection step of selecting, when the generation of surplus power is predicted, a mobile object that satisfies a predetermined condition from among a plurality of mobile objects having a storage battery; an instruction step of instructing the selected mobile body to move to a power supply point where power is supplied from the power generation device to the mobile body; It is equipped with:

[0014] (Embodiment) Hereinafter, examples of a power storage control device, a power storage control method, and a program will be described in the embodiments with reference to FIGS.

[0015] [Device configuration] First, the schematic configuration of the power storage control device will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the schematic configuration of an example of the power storage control device.

[0016] 1 is a device for effectively utilizing surplus power of a power generation device 50 (not shown in FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 1, the power storage control device 10 includes a surplus power prediction unit (prediction unit) 11, a selection unit 12, and an instruction unit 13.

[0017] The surplus power prediction unit 11 predicts the generation of surplus power from the power generation device 50. When the prediction unit 11 predicts the generation of surplus power, the selection unit 12 selects a mobile body 60D that satisfies a predetermined condition from among a plurality of mobile bodies 60 (not shown in FIG. 1) that have storage batteries 61. The instruction unit 13 instructs the selected mobile body 60D to move from a current location P0 as a starting point to a power supply point P1 (not shown in FIG. 1) where power is supplied from the power generation device 50 to the mobile body 60D.

[0018] In this way, the power storage control device 10 can supply surplus power of the power generation device 50 to the moving object 60D from the power generation device 50. Therefore, the surplus power is not wasted and can be used more effectively.

[0019] Next, the configuration and functions of the power storage control device will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 9. Fig. 2 is a block diagram specifically showing the configuration of a power storage control system 1 including a power storage control device 10. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the concept of the power storage control system 1.

[0020] 2 and 3, the power storage control device 10 is provided in a power storage control system 1. The power storage control system 1 includes the power storage control device 10, a power generation device 50, and a plurality of mobile objects 60.

[0021] The power generation device 50 is, for example, a facility that supplies power generated by a private power generation facility to power consumers such as factories and homes via a power transmission network. In this embodiment, the power generation device 50 supplies power to power consumers in a predetermined first area D1 (region). The first area D1 includes an area where a power generation source 51 (described later) of the power generation device 50 is installed. Areas other than the first area D1 are referred to as second areas D2. In this embodiment, there may be cases where the power generation device 50 cannot supply power from the first area D1 to the second area D2 via the power transmission network because the power grids are separate and the transmission lines are not connected, or where surplus power cannot be supplied from the first area D1 to the second area D2 due to limitations on transmission capacity.

[0022] The power generation device 50 may include a thermal power generation device, a hydroelectric power generation device, or a nuclear power generation device, or may include a renewable energy source (such as a solar power generation device, a wind power generation device, a wave / tidal power generation device, a geothermal power generation device, or a biomass power generation device) that has a large fluctuation in the amount of power generated due to external environmental factors such as weather conditions. The power generation device 50 may supply power to power consumers via a commercial power grid, or may be a power generation facility installed as a private power generation facility that is not connected to a commercial power grid.

[0023] The power generation device 50 may include a power generation source 51, a power meter 52, an output meter 53, a recording device 54, and a power supply point P1.

[0024] The power generation source 51 generates power by receiving energy from an external source such as a solar cell or a rotating machine. The wattmeter 52 measures the power output by the power generation source 51. The output meter 53 is provided in, for example, a power conditioner, and measures the power output from the power generation device 50 to the outside of the power generation device 50 via a power transmission grid, etc. The recording device 54 records the measurement results of the wattmeter 52 and the measurement results of the output meter 53 in chronological order. The recording device 54 may also record weather information at the time of recording. The power supply point P1 is a point for supplying power generated by the power generation source 51. The power supply point P1 is provided with a connector for supplying power to the mobile object 60. An example of the connector is a connector for electric vehicles. Examples of electric vehicle connector standards include the CHAdeMO standard, the CCS1 standard, and the CCS2 standard. The power supply point P1 may be located within the site where the power generation source 51 is installed, or may be connected to the power generation source 51 via a power transmission network within the first area D1, and the specific location is not limited. The power supply point P1 does not have to be located in one place, but may be located in multiple places within the first area D1, and the user of the mobile object 60 may be able to select a power supply point P1 that is close to the destination to which the user intends to travel.

[0025] The mobile object 60 is a mobile object capable of storing a certain amount of electric power or more, such as an electric vehicle (EV) or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), and in this embodiment, is particularly an EV or a PHEV.

[0026] Each moving object 60 preferably includes a storage battery 61 , a storage battery remaining capacity estimation unit 62 , a movement management unit 63 , a display unit 64 , and an operation unit 65 .

[0027] The storage battery 61 is a power source for a motor (prime mover) that drives the moving body 60, and has a predetermined power storage capacity.

[0028] The battery remaining capacity estimation unit 62 estimates the power remaining in the storage battery 61. The battery remaining capacity estimation unit 62 includes, for example, a thermometer mounted on the mobile object 60, a voltmeter and an ammeter connected to the storage battery 61, a processor that compiles the measurement results of the voltmeter and ammeter, and estimates the remaining capacity of the storage battery 61 according to a predetermined algorithm. Note that various methods for the battery remaining capacity estimation unit 62 to estimate the remaining capacity of the storage battery 61 are well known, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0029] The movement management unit 63 includes at least one of a navigation device 66 including a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device and a log device 67 such as an operation record logger (digital tachograph), and manages and stores the movement of the mobile object 60. The movement management unit 63 stores movement information of the mobile object 60, such as the destination setting history of the mobile object 60 set by the navigation device 66 or the like, and the movement history of the mobile object 60.

[0030] The display unit 64 is an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic display, and displays various information to the driver of the vehicle 60.

[0031] The operation unit 65 is provided to operate the display content of the display unit 64. The operation unit 65 is, for example, a touch panel provided on the display unit 64, and when operated by, for example, the driver of the mobile object 60, outputs a signal to the navigation device 66 requesting route guidance to the desired destination.

[0032] The power storage control device 10 is connected to the power generation device 50 and each mobile object 60 via a network 2 such as the Internet. The power storage control device 10 is used to cause the mobile object 60 to transport surplus power from the power generation device 50 in a first area D1 from the first area D1 to a second area D2. The destination P2 is a destination to which the mobile object 60 transports surplus power from the power generation device 50, and is included in the second area D2. The destination P2 in the second area D2 is equipped with a connector for discharging power from the mobile object 60 via a power grid or directly to an electricity consumer. The connector can be the electric vehicle connector described above. The destination P2 does not have to be in one location, but may be in multiple locations within the second area D2. The user of the mobile object 60 may be able to select a destination P2 that is close to the destination to which the user intends to travel.

[0033] As described above, the power storage control device 10 includes the surplus power prediction unit 11, the selection unit 12, and the instruction unit 13, and may further include the incentive provision unit .

[0034] The surplus power prediction unit 11 predicts the generation of surplus power based on, for example, the contents stored in the recording device 54 of the power generation device 50. The surplus power prediction unit 11 also predicts the generation of surplus power using, for example, information related to the amount of power generated by the power generation device 50, such as past weather information and seasonal information. "Generation of surplus power" refers to, for example, the generation of surplus power between areas without a power transmission network, the generation of surplus power that exceeds the capacity of a storage battery that can store power from the power generation device 50, or the generation of surplus power that exceeds the transmission capacity.

[0035] For example, the surplus power prediction unit 11 may determine that surplus power is occurring when the amount of power generated indicated by the wattmeter 52 is greater than the amount of power output to the power grid indicated by the output meter 53, and may estimate the amount of surplus power from the difference between the readings of the wattmeter 52 and the output meter 53. The surplus power prediction unit 11 may predict the occurrence of surplus power from past time-series power generation amounts stored in the recording device 54. The surplus power prediction unit 11 may estimate that surplus power will occur when the same date and time as when the past surplus power occurred stored in the recording device 54 and current or future weather information obtained via the network 2 is close to the conditions when the past surplus power occurred. The surplus power prediction unit 11 is only required to predict that surplus power is occurring in the power generation device 50, and the specific method for predicting surplus power is not limited.

[0036] The selection unit 12 receives from the mobile body 60 remaining capacity information indicating the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 estimated by the storage battery remaining capacity estimation unit 62, movement information in the movement management unit 63, and vehicle type information of the mobile body 60 stored in the mobile body 60, and based on this information, selects a mobile body 60D that satisfies specified conditions.

[0037] The selection unit 12 may include a candidate setting unit 21, a travel plan prediction unit 22, a current location determination unit 23, a first route prediction unit 24, a first power consumption prediction unit 25, an available capacity prediction unit 26, a power supply capacity prediction unit 27, a second route prediction unit 28, a second power consumption prediction unit 29, a remaining amount prediction unit 30 that predicts the remaining amount B upon arrival at the destination P2 in the second area D2, and a determination unit 31.

[0038] The candidate setting unit 21 selects a candidate 60C for a mobile object 60D that satisfies a predetermined condition from among the multiple mobile objects 60. The mobile object 60 that satisfies the predetermined condition among the candidates 60C is the mobile object 60D. The candidate 60C is a mobile object 60 that is connected to the power storage control device 10 so as to be able to communicate data. The candidate 60C may be selected randomly from among the mobile objects 60 located within a certain distance from the power supply point P1, for example. Alternatively, the candidate setting unit 21 may set the mobile objects 60 as candidates 60C in order of proximity of the current location P0 to the power supply point P1. Alternatively, the selection unit 12 may preferentially set as candidates 60C a mobile object 60 that has previously followed instructions from the instruction unit 13 of the power storage control device 10. The selection unit 12 may select as candidate 60C any mobile object 60 connected to the power storage control device 10, and the specific method for selecting candidate 60C is not limited.

[0039] The candidate setting unit 21 may set, for example, a mobile object 60 whose current location P0 is near the boundary between the first area D1 and the second area D2 as a candidate 60C. In this case, the power consumption of the mobile object 60 required to transport surplus power generated in the first area D1 to the destination P2 in the second area D2 is small.

[0040] The movement plan prediction unit 22 is used to select a candidate 60C that is scheduled to move from a first area D1 to a second area D2 as a moving body 60D. The movement plan prediction unit 22 predicts whether the candidate 60C is scheduled to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 based on information from the movement management unit 63 of the candidate 60C, such as the destination setting history of the navigation device 66 and movement history patterns. The movement plan prediction unit 22 may predict that the candidate 60C is scheduled to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2, for example, by receiving information that the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C is set to move to the second area D2 via the first area D1.

[0041] Furthermore, the movement plan prediction unit 22 may predict whether the candidate 60C plans to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 based on a route that the candidate 60C regularly uses. The method for predicting whether the candidate 60C plans to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 is not particularly limited, and a known method may be used. Note that when selecting the moving object 60D from the candidates 60C, the movement plan prediction by the movement plan prediction unit 22 may be omitted.

[0042] The current location determination unit 23 determines the current location P0 of the candidate 60C. The current location determination unit 23 determines the current location P0 of the candidate 60C from the location information received from the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C, the location information of the candidate 60C obtained from the image capture results of a surveillance camera installed on the road, and the like.

[0043] The first route prediction unit 24 and the first power consumption prediction unit 25 are used to select the moving body 60D taking into account the amount of power consumption (first power consumption W1) required for the moving body 60D to move from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1.

[0044] The first route prediction unit 24 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1 in the first area D1. If there are multiple power supply points P1, the first route prediction unit 24 may predict the route from the current location P0 of the candidate 60C to the closest power supply point P1. A known navigation method using GNSS or the like can be used to predict the route, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0045] The first power consumption prediction unit 25 predicts, as the first power consumption W1, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C travels along the route predicted by the first route prediction unit 24. The first power consumption prediction unit 25 predicts the power consumption of the candidate 60C from vehicle model information received from the candidate 60C or the Internet, and predicts the first power consumption W1 when the candidate 60C arrives from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1, based on the predicted route and power consumption. Note that the first power consumption prediction unit 25 may obtain the predicted value of the first power consumption W1 by having the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C predict the route from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1 and having the candidate 60C predict the first power consumption W1.

[0046] The available capacity prediction unit 26 is used to select a mobile object 60D whose available capacity A of the storage battery 61 when it arrives at the power supply point P1 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value A1. The available capacity prediction unit 26 calculates the available capacity A, for example, as (remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 when fully charged) - {(remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 at the current location P0) - (first power consumption W1)} = available capacity A.

[0047] The available power supply amount prediction unit 27 predicts the power that can be supplied when the candidate 60C is supplied with surplus power at the power supply point P1. The available power supply amount prediction unit 27 receives, for example, the movement history of the candidate 60C and the history of the stay time at a certain location from the movement management unit 63 of the candidate 60C, and predicts the stay time at a certain location, i.e., the available power supply amount at the power supply point P1, from this history. Note that the method for predicting the available power supply amount is not limited and may be a method other than the method described above. The maximum available power supply amount is the available capacity A of the storage battery 61 of the candidate 60C at the time when the candidate 60C arrives at the power supply point P1. Note that the available power supply amount prediction unit 27 may be omitted, and the available capacity A of the storage battery 61 of the candidate 60C at the time when the candidate 60C arrives at the power supply point P1 may simply be used as the available power supply amount of surplus power.

[0048] The second route prediction unit 28 and the second power consumption prediction unit 29 are used to select the mobile body 60D taking into account the amount of power consumption (second power consumption W2) required for the mobile body 60D to travel from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2 to which the surplus power is delivered.

[0049] The second route prediction unit 28 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2 in the second area D2. When there are a plurality of power supply points P1 and a plurality of destinations P2, the second route prediction unit 28 may predict the route from the power supply point P1 that is closest to the current location P0 of the candidate 60C to the destination P2 that is closest to the power supply point P1. A known navigation method using GNSS or the like can be used to predict the route, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0050] The second power consumption prediction unit 29 predicts, as the second power consumption W2, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C travels along the route predicted by the second route prediction unit 28. The second power consumption prediction unit 29 predicts the power consumption of the candidate 60C from the vehicle model information received from the candidate 60C, and predicts the second power consumption W2 when the candidate 60C arrives at the destination P2 from the predicted route and power consumption. Note that the second power consumption prediction unit 29 may acquire the second power consumption W2 by having the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C predict the route from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2 and having the candidate 60C predict the second power consumption W2.

[0051] The remaining capacity prediction unit 30 is used to select a mobile body 60D that is predicted to have a remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 equal to or greater than a predetermined value B1 upon arrival at the destination P2. The remaining capacity prediction unit 30 predicts the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 of the candidate 60C upon arrival at the destination P2. For the storage battery 61 of the candidate 60C, the remaining capacity prediction unit 30 calculates the remaining capacity B upon arrival at the destination P2 as follows: (remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 at the current location P0) - (first power consumption W1 to the power supply point P1) + (available power supply amount) - (second power consumption W2 to the destination P2).

[0052] The determination unit 31 performs various determinations in the selection unit 12. The determination unit 31 selects the candidate 60C, which is predicted to have a remaining capacity B of equal to or greater than a predetermined value B1 when the mobile unit 60 arrives at the destination P2, as the mobile unit 60D.

[0053] The instruction unit 13 displays a predetermined message on the display unit 64 provided on the moving body 60D, for example. The display content displayed at this time will be described later.

[0054] The incentive granting unit 14 is used to grant an incentive to the moving body 60D selected by the determination unit 31. The incentive granted here is not particularly limited, and for example, a coupon such as a discount ticket or a complimentary ticket may be electronically granted to the moving body 60D, or points that can be used equivalent to cash may be electronically granted to the moving body 60D. The incentive may be granted to the moving body 60D or to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet carried by a passenger of the moving body 60D, and the specific granting target is not important.

[0055] [Device operation] Next, an example of the operation of the power storage control device 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 4 and 5. Figs. 4 and 5 are flow charts showing an example of the operation of the power storage control device 10. In the following description, Figs. 1 to 5 will be referred to as appropriate. In addition, in this embodiment, a power storage control method is implemented by operating the power storage control device 10. Therefore, the description of the power storage control method in this embodiment will be replaced by the following description of the operation of the power storage control device 10.

[0056] 4, the surplus power prediction unit 11 of the power storage control device 10 predicts whether surplus power is occurring (step A1). If it is predicted that surplus power is occurring (YES in step A1), the candidate setting unit 21 sets a candidate 60C of the moving body 60 to be the moving body 60D (step A2).

[0057] Next, the movement plan prediction unit 22 predicts whether the candidate 60C has a plan to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 (step A3). If it is predicted that the candidate 60C does not have a plan to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 (NO in step A3), the current candidate 60C is canceled, and the process returns to step A2, where another candidate 60C is selected.

[0058] On the other hand, if it is predicted that the candidate 60C will move from the first area D1 to the second area D2 (YES in step A3), the current location determination unit 23 determines whether the current location P0 of the candidate 60C is the first area D1 or the second area D2 (step A4). If the current location P0 of the candidate 60C is the second area D2 (second area in step A4), the first route prediction unit 24 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1 in the first area D1 (step A5). Next, the first power consumption prediction unit 25 predicts, as the first power consumption W1, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C moves along the route predicted by the first route prediction unit 24 (step A6).

[0059] Next, the available capacity prediction unit 26 predicts the available capacity A of the storage battery 61 when the storage battery 61 arrives at the power supply point P1 (step A7). If the predicted available capacity A is less than a predetermined value A1 (NO in step A8), the current candidate 60C is canceled, and the process returns to step A2 to select another candidate 60C. On the other hand, if the predicted available capacity A is equal to or greater than the predetermined value A1 (YES in step A8), the available power supply amount prediction unit 27 predicts the available power amount that the candidate 60C can supply when it receives surplus power at the power supply point P1 (step A9).

[0060] Next, the second route prediction unit 28 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2 in the second area D2 (step A10). Next, the second power consumption prediction unit 29 predicts, as second power consumption W2, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C moves along the route predicted by the second route prediction unit 28 (step A11).

[0061] Next, the remaining charge prediction unit 30 predicts whether the remaining charge B of the storage battery 61 upon arrival at the destination P2 will be equal to or greater than a predetermined value B1 (step A12). If the remaining charge B of the storage battery 61 upon arrival at the destination P2 is less than the predetermined value B1 (NO in step A12), the current candidate 60C is canceled, and the process returns to step A2 to select another candidate 60C. On the other hand, if the remaining charge B of the storage battery 61 upon arrival at the destination P2 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value B1 (YES in step A12), the determination unit 31 sets this candidate 60C as the mobile unit 60D that satisfies the predetermined conditions (step A13). An example of the flow after the mobile unit 60D is set will be described later.

[0062] Returning to step A4, if the current location P0 of candidate 60C is in the first area D1 (first area in step A4), the determination unit 31 predicts whether or not the current location P0 of candidate 60C is the power supply point P1 (step A14). In this case, the determination unit 31 uses the determination result of the current location determination unit 23. If the determination unit 31 determines that the current location P0 of candidate 60C is not the power supply point P1 (NO in step A14), the process proceeds to step A5, and the steps from step A5 onwards described above are executed.

[0063] On the other hand, if it is determined that the current location P0 of the candidate 60C is the power supply point P1 (YES in step A14), the determination unit 31 sets a flag for specifying the instruction content by the instruction unit 13 (step A15). Then, the processing from step A9 onwards is performed.

[0064] After the determination unit 31 sets the candidate 60C as the moving object 60D that satisfies the predetermined condition through the above process (step A13), the instruction unit 13 instructs the selected moving object 60D to move to the power supply point P1 (step A16). Specifically, the instruction unit 13 causes the display unit 64 of the selected moving object 60D to display as shown in FIG. 6A or 6B. That is, the instruction unit 13 causes the display unit 64 to display the instruction content. FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing an example of the content that the instruction unit 13 causes the display unit 64 of the moving object 60D to display.

[0065] If the flag is not set, the instructing unit 13 causes the display unit 64 to display the information as shown in Fig. 6A. This display includes instructions to move the mobile object 60D from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1 and supply power at the power supply point P1, instructions to move the mobile object 60D from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2 and supply power from the mobile object 60D to the power grid of the second area D2 or the like from the destination P2, and information indicating an incentive to be granted when the instructions are carried out.

[0066] 6B. This display includes instructions to move the mobile body 60D from the current location P0 to the destination P2, instructions to supply power from the mobile body 60D to the power grid or the like in the second area D2 at the destination P2, instructions to move the mobile body 60D to the power supply point P1 in the first area D1 after supplying power to the power grid or the like in the second area D2 and supply surplus power from the power generation device 50 to the mobile body 60D, and instructions indicating an incentive to be granted if the instructions are executed. That is, the instruction unit 13 instructs the selected mobile body 60D to move to the destination P2, return to the power supply point P1, and supply power from the power generation device 50 to the mobile body 60D at the power supply point P1.

[0067] The determination unit 31 determines whether the above-mentioned instruction content has been carried out within a predetermined time (step A17). If the flag is not set, when the determination unit 31 receives from the mobility management unit 63 of the mobile unit 60 or the like information that power has been supplied from the mobile unit 60D to the second area D2 at the destination P2 in the second area D2 (YES in step A17), the incentive granting unit 14 grants the incentive displayed on the display unit 64 to the mobile unit 60D (step A18).

[0068] Also, if the flag is set, when the judgment unit 31 receives from the mobility management unit 63 of the mobile body 60D or the like information that power has been supplied from the mobile body 60D to the second area D2 at the destination P2 in the second area D2, and then power has been supplied from the power generation device 50 to the mobile body 60D at the power supply point P1 in the first area D1 (YES in step A17), the incentive granting unit 14 grants the incentive to the mobile body 60D with the content displayed on the display unit 64 (step A18).

[0069] On the other hand, if the above-mentioned reception is not performed for a certain period of time after the display on the display unit 64 by the instruction unit 13 (NO in step A17), the incentive is not given.

[0070] [Effects of the embodiment] As described above, according to this embodiment, when surplus power from the power generation device 50 is predicted, the mobile object 60D that satisfies predetermined conditions (e.g., steps A3, A8, A12) can be instructed to move to the power supply point P1. This allows the surplus power to be supplied to the consumer via the mobile object 60D without wasting the surplus power.

[0071] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selector 12 selects the moving object 60D by taking into account the first power consumption W1 required for the moving object 60D to move from the current location P0 to the power supply point P1. With this configuration, the selector 12 can select the moving object 60D that can receive more surplus power at the power supply point P1.

[0072] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selector 12 selects the mobile object 60D whose available capacity A of the storage battery 61 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value A1 when the mobile object 60D arrives at the power supply point P1. With this configuration, the selector 12 can select the mobile object 60D that can receive more surplus power at the power supply point P1.

[0073] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selector 12 selects the moving object 60D by taking into account the second power consumption required for the moving object 60D to travel from the power supply point P1 to the destination P2. With this configuration, the selector 12 can select the moving object 60D that can deliver more surplus power to the destination P2.

[0074] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selector 12 selects the mobile object 60D for which the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 is predicted to be equal to or greater than a predetermined value B1 upon arrival at the destination P2. With this configuration, the selector 12 can select the mobile object 60D that can transport a large amount of surplus power to the destination P2.

[0075] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selector 12 selects the moving object 60D that is scheduled to move from the first area D1 to the second area D2. With this configuration, the moving object 60D can transfer surplus power in the first area D1 to the second area D2 while moving from the first area D1 to the second area D2, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

[0076] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when mobile body 60D located at power supply point P1 is selected, instruction unit 13 instructs mobile body 60D to move to destination P2, return to power supply point P1, and supply power from power generation device 50 to mobile body 60D at power supply point P1. With this configuration, mobile body 60D, which is supplied with surplus power while located at power supply point P1, transfers the surplus power to destination P2, and then the surplus power can be stored in mobile body 60D from power generation device 50 again at power supply point P1. This prevents surplus power from being wasted.

[0077] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the instruction unit 13 is configured to display the instruction content on the display unit 64 of the moving body 60D. With this configuration, the instruction content from the instruction unit 13 can be visually recognized by the driver of the moving body 60D.

[0078] An example of a specific configuration of the present disclosure has been described above. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. Note that the following mainly describes differences from the above-described embodiment, and configurations similar to those of the above-described embodiment may be designated by the same reference numerals in the drawings and may not be described repeatedly.

[0079] (Variation 1) In addition to the configuration of this embodiment, as shown in Figures 7A and 7B, the selector 12 may predict whether a candidate 60C that has arrived at destination P2 can return to base P3, and set the candidate 60C that can return to base P3 as a predetermined moving body 60D. Figure 7A is a block diagram specifically showing the configuration of the main parts of Modification 1 of the power storage control device 10. Figure 7B is a flow diagram showing the main parts of an example of the operation of the power storage control device 10 in Modification 1.

[0080] In the first modification, a third route prediction unit 32 and a third power consumption prediction unit 33 are further provided in addition to the components of the power storage control device 10 in the embodiment.

[0081] The third route prediction unit 32 and the third power consumption prediction unit 33 are used to select the mobile unit 60D by taking into account the amount of power consumption (third power consumption W3) required for the mobile unit 60D to travel from the destination P2 to a base P3 set in the navigation device 66, such as the home or workplace.

[0082] The third route prediction unit 32 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the destination P2 to the base P3. If there are multiple destinations P2, the third route prediction unit 32 may predict the route from the destination P2 that is closest to the power supply point P1 to the base P3. A known navigation method using GNSS or the like can be used to predict the route, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0083] The third power consumption prediction unit 33 predicts, as third power consumption W3, the power consumption of candidate 60C when candidate 60C moves along the route predicted by the third route prediction unit 32. The method of predicting the third power consumption W3 by the third power consumption prediction unit 33 is the same as the method of predicting the first power consumption W1 by the first power consumption prediction unit 25. Note that the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 of candidate 60C predicted when candidate 60C arrives at base P3 is, at most, (remaining capacity B of storage battery 61 when arriving at destination P2) - (third power consumption W3).

[0084] In the first modification, the operation is performed according to a flow diagram (FIG. 7B) in which, for example, steps A20 to A23 are added to the flow diagram in the embodiment. After step A12, the determination unit 31 determines whether or not a base P3 is set in the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C (step A20). If the base P3 is set (YES in step A20), the third route prediction unit 32 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take from the destination P2 to the base P3 (step A21). Next, the third power consumption prediction unit 33 predicts, as third power consumption W3, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C travels along the route predicted by the third route prediction unit 32 (step A22).

[0085] Next, the determination unit 31 estimates whether or not there is remaining capacity B in the storage battery 61 when the candidate 60C arrives at the base P3 from the destination P2 (step A23). If the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 when the candidate 60C arrives at the base P3 from the destination P2, estimated by (remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 at the time of arrival at the destination P2) - (third power consumption W3), is greater than zero (YES in step A23), the determination unit 31 selects the candidate 60C as the predetermined moving object 60 (step A13).

[0086] On the other hand, in step A23, if the remaining capacity B of the storage battery 61 of candidate 60C is low and candidate 60C cannot arrive at location P3 from destination P2 (NO in step A23), candidate 60C is canceled, and the process returns to step A2, and the processing from step A2 onwards is repeated.

[0087] If the location P3 is not set in the navigation device 66 of the candidate 60C (NO in step A20), the process skips steps A21 to A23 and proceeds to step A13.

[0088] In the first modification, it is preferable to set an upper limit on the amount of power that can be supplied from the moving body 60D to the destination P2 so that a remaining amount B that allows the moving body 60D to return from the destination P2 to the base P3 is ensured.

[0089] According to the configuration of this modification 1, the moving body 60D can return from the destination P2 to the base P3 more reliably.

[0090] (Variation 2) In addition to the configuration of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, if the amount of power (direct remaining amount B) that can be supplied to destination P2 when candidate 60C arrives at destination P2 directly from current location P0 without passing through power supply point P1 is greater than the amount of power (passing remaining amount B) that can be supplied to destination P2 when candidate 60C arrives at destination P2 from current location P0 via power supply point P1 (direct remaining amount B>time-dependent remaining amount B), the selector 12 does not need to select candidate 60C as moving object 60D. FIG. 8A is a block diagram specifically showing the configuration of main parts of modification 2 of the power storage control device 10. FIG. 8B is a flow chart showing main parts of an example of the operation of the power storage control device 10 in modification 2.

[0091] In the second modification, a fourth route prediction unit 34 and a fourth power consumption prediction unit 35 are further provided in addition to the power storage control device 10 of the embodiment.

[0092] The fourth route prediction unit 34 and the fourth power consumption prediction unit 35 are used to select the moving body 60D taking into account the amount of power consumption (fourth power consumption W4) required for the moving body 60D to travel directly from the current location P0 to the destination P2.

[0093] The fourth route prediction unit 34 predicts the route that the candidate 60C will take directly from the current location P0 to the destination P2. If there are multiple destinations P2, the fourth route prediction unit 34 may predict the route from the current location P0 to the closest destination P2. A known navigation method using GNSS or the like can be used to predict the route, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0094] The fourth power consumption prediction unit 35 predicts, as fourth power consumption W4, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C moves along the route predicted by the fourth route prediction unit 34. The method of predicting the fourth power consumption W4 by the fourth power consumption prediction unit 35 is the same as the method of predicting the first power consumption W1 by the first power consumption prediction unit 25.

[0095] In the second modification, the operation is performed in accordance with a flow diagram (FIG. 8B) in which, for example, steps A30 to A32 are added to the flow diagram in the embodiment. After step A12, the fourth route prediction unit 34 predicts a route that the candidate 60C will take directly from the current location P0 to the destination P2 (step A30). Next, the fourth power consumption prediction unit 35 predicts, as a fourth power consumption W4, the power consumption of the candidate 60C when the candidate 60C moves along the route predicted by the fourth route prediction unit 34 (step A31).

[0096] Next, the determination unit 31 predicts (calculates) whether the amount of power (direct remaining amount B) that can be supplied to the destination P2 when the candidate 60C arrives at the destination P2 directly from the current location P0 is greater than the amount of power (transit remaining amount B) that can be supplied to the destination P2 when the candidate 60C arrives at the destination P2 from the current location P0 via the power supply point P1 (step A32). The determination unit 31 determines whether the direct remaining amount B, i.e., (the remaining amount of the storage battery 61 at the current location P0 of the candidate 60C) - (fourth power consumption W5) is greater than the transit remaining amount B. If the direct remaining amount B is less than or equal to the transit remaining amount B (NO in step A32), the determination unit 31 sets the candidate 60C as the moving body 60D (step A13). On the other hand, if the direct remaining amount B>the detour remaining amount B (YES in step A32), the candidate 60C is canceled, and the process returns to step A2, and the processes from step A2 onwards are repeated.

[0097] According to the configuration of this variant example 2, if a large amount of power consumption is expected for the mobile body 60 when moving from the current location P0 via the power supply point P1 to the destination P2, the mobile body 60 can be excluded from the selection targets, which is preferable in that it reduces energy waste.

[0098] The power storage control device 10 may be provided with both the configuration of the first modification and the configuration of the second modification.

[0099] (Other variations) In the above-described embodiment and modified examples, when selecting candidates (step A2), the candidate setting unit 21 may select the moving body 60 located at the destination P2 as the moving body 60D. In this case, the instruction unit 13 may instruct the moving body 60D to move to the power supply point P1.

[0100] In the above-described embodiment and modified examples, the candidate 60C that moves from the current location P0 to the destination P2, discharges at the destination P2, and then moves toward the power supply point P1 may be selected as the moving object 60D.

[0101] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and modified examples, the configuration in which moving body 60D is selected from candidates 60C has been described in detail, but this is not necessarily the case. The factors to be prioritized when selecting moving body 60D from candidates 60C may be set as appropriate.

[0102] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and modified examples, the instruction content from the instruction unit 13 is displayed on the display unit 64 of the moving body 60D, but this is not necessarily the case. For example, the instruction content from the instruction unit 13 may be displayed on the display unit of a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet carried by an occupant of the moving body 60D, or may be displayed on a logger device provided in the moving body 60D. Furthermore, if the moving body 60D has an automatic driving function, the instruction unit 13 may transmit the instruction content to a CPU that controls the automatic driving of the moving body 60D.

[0103] [program] An example of the program in this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to execute steps A1 to A18, A20 to A23, and A30 to A32 shown in Figures 4, 5, 7B, and 8B. By installing and executing this program in a computer, the power storage control device 10 and the power storage control method can be realized. In this case, the processor of the computer functions as a prediction unit 11, a selection unit 12, an instruction unit 13, and an incentive granting unit 14 and performs processing.

[0104] The program in this embodiment may be executed by a computer system constructed by a plurality of computers. In this case, for example, each computer may function as one of the prediction unit 11, the selection unit 12, the instruction unit 13, and the incentive granting unit 14.

[0108] The CPU 111 loads a program in the embodiment, which is composed of a group of codes and stored in the storage device 113, into the main memory 112 and executes each code in a predetermined order to perform various calculations. The main memory 112 is typically a volatile storage device such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

The input interface 114 mediates data transmission between the CPU 111 and input devices 118 such as a keyboard and a mouse. The display controller 115 is connected to a display device 119 and controls the display on the display device 119.

[0113] The energy storage control device 10 in this embodiment can be realized not by a computer on which a program is installed but by hardware corresponding to each unit, for example, an electronic circuit. Furthermore, the energy storage control device 10 may be partially realized by a program and the remaining unit by hardware.
