[Figure 3] 10 is an example of a screen output to an output unit in the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Conventionally, a plurality of storage batteries have been operated to generate revenue by buying and selling electricity. The degree of deterioration of a storage battery changes depending on the charging and discharging status. Therefore, for efficient operation of the storage battery, for example, the charging and discharging of the storage battery (the degree of deterioration) may be controlled. In particular, when managing multiple storage batteries, it is necessary to appropriately control the charging and discharging of multiple storage batteries (the degree of deterioration), which can make schedule management difficult. The charge and discharge (degree of deterioration) of the storage battery is controlled by switching the mode (deterioration promotion mode) related to how deterioration is controlled depending on the purpose of operation of the storage battery, for example.

[0011] The technology of the present disclosure is used, for example, to allow a user to grasp information regarding the deterioration of multiple storage batteries.

[0012] A display control device 1, a display control method, and a display control program according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0013] (Display control device 1) 1 is a block diagram showing a specific example of the configuration of a display control device 1 according to this embodiment. The display control device 1 includes a communication unit 10, an input unit 20, a display unit 30, a storage unit 40, and a control unit 50.

[0014] The communication unit 10 is a communication device. The communication unit 10 may be configured as, for example, a network interface. The communication unit 10 communicates data with other devices via a network in accordance with the control of the control unit 50. The communication unit 10 may be a device that performs wireless communication or a device that performs wired communication.

[0015] The input unit 20 is configured using existing input devices such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, tablet, etc.), buttons, a touch panel, etc. The input unit 20 is operated by a user when inputting the user's instructions to the display control device 1. The input unit 20 may be an interface for connecting the input device to the display control device 1. In this case, the input unit 20 inputs an input signal generated in the input device in response to the user's input to the display control device 1. The input unit 20 may be configured using a microphone and a voice recognition device. In this case, the input unit 20 acquires an acoustic signal generated by the user's speech, performs voice recognition on the words spoken by the user, and inputs character string information of the recognition result to the display control device 1. The voice recognition process may be performed by the control unit 50. The input unit 20 may be configured in any way as long as it is capable of inputting the user's instructions to the display control device 1.

[0016] The display unit 30 displays information in a form that can be recognized by the user. The display unit 30 may be an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The display unit 30 may be configured as a touch panel integrated with the input unit 20.

[0017] The storage unit 40 is configured using a storage device such as a magnetic hard disk drive or a semiconductor storage device. The storage unit 40 stores data used by the control unit 50. The storage unit 40 stores data required when the control unit 50 performs processing.

[0018] The control unit 50 is configured using a processor P such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory M (main storage device). As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 50 functions as a calculation means 51 and a display control means 52 by the processor P executing a program (display control program). The program may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include portable media such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, a CD-ROM, and a semiconductor storage device (e.g., an SSD: Solid State Drive), as well as storage devices such as a hard disk or semiconductor storage device built into a computer system. The program may be transmitted via a telecommunications line.

[0019] The calculation means 51 calculates information to be described later based on various types of information about the battery (details will be described later).

[0020] The display control means 52 displays various pieces of information about the battery stored in the storage unit 40 and the calculation results calculated by the calculation means 51 on the display unit 30, for example, as a table image 100. The display control means 52 may also function as a notification means 52b.

[0021] The display control means 52 in the display control device 1 of this embodiment displays on the display unit 30 first deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of the first storage battery, together with second deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery.

[0022] An example of information displayed on the display unit 30 by the display control means 52 in the display control device 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the numerical values ​​shown in FIG. 3 are merely tentatively set for the purpose of explanation and do not necessarily correspond to actual numerical values.

[0023] FIG. 3 is an example of an image that the display control means 52 displays on the display unit 30. The image may change, for example, when the change means 52a changes information (details will be described later). The image may change, for example, when the information is updated. The information shown in FIG. 3 or information for calculating the information shown in FIG. 3 may be associated and stored in the storage unit 40. In this case, the display control means 52 may read out this information from the storage unit 40 and display it on the display unit 30. The calculation means 51 may calculate other information based on the information read out from the storage unit 40.

[0024] In the following description, a case will be described in which information about three storage batteries, namely, a first storage battery, a second storage battery, and a third storage battery, is displayed; however, the number of storage batteries is not limited as long as there is more than one. Information about two storage batteries may be displayed on the display unit 30, or information about four or more storage batteries may be displayed on the display unit 30. Furthermore, the specific display format of the various information is not limited to the images shown in the drawings.

[0025] Here, "corresponding and displaying information" means that the information is displayed in a form that allows the user to recognize the correspondence between the information. "Coordinating and displaying information" may mean, for example, as in the illustrated example, displaying information in the same column or row in the table image 100 displayed on the display unit 30. Note that this information may be based on information received by the communication unit 10, may be based on information stored in the storage unit 40, or may be information calculated by the calculation means 51 based on information stored in the storage unit 40. The display control means 52 displays this various information on the display unit 30 as described above.

[0026] According to the display control device 1 (display control means 52) of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage battery identification information 110, the accelerated deterioration mode information, the usage information 140, the revenue information 150, the deterioration information 160, the deterioration progress degree information 170, the time period information 180, and the manufacturer information 190 are associated with each other and displayed on the display unit 30. In the display control device 1 of this embodiment, the display control means 52 is only required to display, on the display unit 30, first accelerated degradation mode information indicating the accelerated degradation mode of at least the first storage battery, together with second accelerated degradation mode information indicating the accelerated degradation mode of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery, and is not limited to displaying all of the above information on the display unit 30. The information displayed by the display control means 52 may be part of the above information.

[0027] The battery identification information 110 is information for identifying a storage battery. The battery identification information 110 may be, for example, an ID assigned to each storage battery. In this embodiment, a battery ID consisting of four letters is assigned to each storage battery. In this embodiment, the first storage battery is assigned the ID "AAAA" as the first storage battery identification information 110, the second storage battery is assigned the ID "BBBB" as the second storage battery identification information 110, and the third storage battery is assigned the ID "CCCC" as the third storage battery identification information 110. The battery identification information 110 is not limited to a battery ID consisting of four letters as long as it allows the user to identify the storage battery. The battery identification information 110 may be stored in the storage unit 40.

[0028] The operation of a storage battery may change depending on the time of day. Therefore, the display control device 1 of this embodiment has a configuration that allows information about the operation of the storage battery to be confirmed for each time period.

[0029] The time period information 180 is information indicating a time period. For example, the time period information 180 may indicate a time obtained by dividing one day (24 hours) into several hour intervals. In this embodiment, the time period information 180 divides one day (24 hours) into four time periods. The time period information 180 may divide one day (24 hours) evenly into a plurality of time periods, or may divide the day (24 hours) unevenly as in this embodiment. The time period information 180 may be set, for example, taking into consideration the times when the demand and supply of electricity change.

[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, first time zone information 181 indicating the first time zone is displayed as "0:00-4:00", second time zone information 182 indicating the second time zone is displayed as "4:00-12:00", third time zone information 183 indicating the third time zone is displayed as "12:00-18:00", and fourth time zone information 184 indicating the fourth time zone is displayed as "18:00-0:00".

[0031] As a result, in this embodiment, the deterioration promotion mode information, usage information 140, revenue information 150, deterioration information 160, and deterioration progress degree information 170, which will be described later, are displayed in association with each of the four time periods, from the first time period to the fourth time period.

[0032] The accelerated degradation mode information indicates information relating to a mode (accelerated degradation mode) in controlling the degradation of a storage battery. The accelerated degradation mode information may include information indicating a mode (accelerated degradation mode) in controlling the degradation of a storage battery and the usage intensity of the storage battery. For example, the accelerated degradation mode information in this embodiment includes operation mode information 120 and usage intensity information 130. The accelerated degradation mode information is required to include at least the operation mode information 120, and does not necessarily have to include the usage intensity information 130.

[0033] The operation mode information 120 is information that indicates the mode (accelerated degradation mode) itself in controlling the degradation of the storage battery. As the operation mode information 120, for example, any of "profit priority" indicating a profit priority mode, "degradation level adjustment" indicating a degradation level adjustment mode, and "use up" indicating a use up mode may be displayed. Details of the profit priority mode, the degradation level adjustment mode, and the use up mode will be described later. The accelerated degradation modes are not limited to the above three types, and may be two or four or more types, or may include other modes. Details of these modes will be described later.

[0034] The operation mode information 120 may be determined by a suggestion by the EMS, by the user, or by the user selecting an accelerated degradation mode suggested by the EMS. The determined operation mode information 120 may be changed by the user. When the operation mode information 120 is changed by the user, the information displayed on the display unit 30 may be changed by the change means 52a.

[0035] An EMS (Energy Management System) is a system for monitoring energy use and improving operational efficiency. For example, if the EMS targets a single factory, the EMS can be applied to, for example, efficient operation (e.g., optimal operation) of factory demand, power generation by generators, and battery charging and discharging. Furthermore, if the EMS targets a power storage station or power plant, the EMS can be applied to efficient operation (e.g., optimal operation) of batteries (demand during charging, supply during discharging). For example, if the EMS targets power sources and consumers in a specific area, the EMS can be applied to efficient operation (e.g., optimal operation) of the amount of electricity demand and supply in that area. Introducing an EMS can, for example, improve the efficiency (e.g., optimize) of each of the above-mentioned operations. As a result, it may be possible to reduce costs compared to not introducing an EMS.

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, "profit priority" is displayed as first operation mode information 121 indicating the accelerated deterioration mode of the first storage battery, "use up" is displayed as second operation mode information 122 indicating the accelerated deterioration mode of the second storage battery, and "adjust deterioration level" is displayed as third operation mode information 123 indicating the accelerated deterioration mode of the third storage battery.

[0037] The display control means 52 of this embodiment causes the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first time zone information 181 indicating the first time zone, and also causes the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second time zone information 182 indicating the second time zone.

[0038] 3, the first storage battery, the second storage battery, and the third storage battery are all operated in the same accelerated degradation mode from the first time slot to the fourth time slot. Therefore, first operation mode information 121 for the first storage battery is displayed as "profit priority" from the first time slot to the fourth time slot, second operation mode information 122 for the second storage battery is displayed as "use up" from the first time slot to the fourth time slot, and third operation mode information 123 for the third storage battery is displayed as "adjusted degradation level" from the first time slot to the fourth time slot. For example, if the accelerated degradation mode changes for the same storage battery in any of the first time slot to the fourth time slot, some or all of the operation mode information 120 corresponding to the first time slot to the fourth time slot may be different.

[0039] The usage intensity information 130 is information indicating the usage intensity of the storage battery. The usage intensity information 130 may be, for example, information indicating the level of usage intensity of the storage battery. In this embodiment of the storage battery, the usage intensity information 130 indicates the level of usage intensity of the storage battery on a 10-level scale. Specifically, the usage intensity information 130 in this embodiment indicates the level of usage intensity with "Level 1" being the lowest usage intensity and "Level 10" being the highest usage intensity.

[0040] The usage intensity information 130 may be any information that allows a user to recognize the usage intensity of the storage battery. The usage intensity is defined, for example, by the number of times (number of cycles) that the storage battery is repeatedly charged and discharged per unit time. For example, a high usage intensity of the storage battery may indicate a high number of cycles per unit time, and a low usage intensity of the storage battery may indicate a low number of cycles per unit time. For example, the usage intensity may be defined by the magnitude of the C rate in addition to or instead of the number of cycles. The C rate is the ratio of the discharge current value to the storage battery capacity, and represents the battery's discharge characteristics (current magnitude, discharge capacity, and allowable current).

[0041] The usage intensity information 130 may be determined by the EMS, may be determined by the user, or may be determined by the user selecting a usage intensity suggested by the EMS. The determined usage intensity information 130 may be changed by the user. When the usage intensity information 130 is changed by the user, the information displayed on the display unit 30 may be changed by the change means 52a.

[0042] Even when the same storage battery is operated for the same period of time, the degree of deterioration after the lapse of time varies depending on the intensity of use. Therefore, the degree of deterioration of the storage battery varies depending on the deterioration promotion mode and intensity of use in which the storage battery is operated. Note that, as will be described in detail later, the degree of deterioration indicates the current level of performance when the performance of a new (undegraded) battery is taken as 100%. Specifically, for example, if the degree of deterioration of a battery is 60%, this indicates that the battery has 60% of the performance it had when it was new.

[0043] Next, the three deterioration promotion modes (profit priority mode, deterioration degree matching mode, and use-up mode) will be described.

[0044] The profit-first mode is a mode in which the EMS formulates a plan and operates the storage battery with the usage intensity of the storage battery at its maximum as long as it increases the profit from the operation of the storage battery. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the first storage battery operated in the profit-first mode in all four time periods from the first time period to the fourth time period has usage intensity information 130 of Level 10 (maximum intensity) in all four time periods from the first time period to the fourth time period.

[0045] The profit-priority mode may be a mode in which the profit from the operation of the storage battery is maximized. Therefore, the storage battery operated in the profit-priority mode does not necessarily have to be operated at maximum intensity. For example, even when the storage battery is operated in the profit-priority mode, if it is predicted that the profit will be maximized by setting the storage battery usage intensity to Level 5 and using the storage battery for a long period of time, taking into account the progression of deterioration of the storage battery and the predicted profit, the storage battery may not be operated at maximum intensity, but may be operated at Level 5.

[0046] The profit may be, for example, an expected profit when the storage battery is operated by the EMS.

[0047] The deterioration level matching mode may be, for example, a mode in which the EMS formulates a plan and operates the storage battery so that the storage battery matches the deterioration level of the other storage batteries, or, for example, a mode in which the storage battery is operated so that the deterioration level of the storage battery matches the deterioration level of the storage battery with the highest deterioration level (performance) among multiple storage batteries. When operating the storage battery so that the deterioration level matches the deterioration level of the other storage batteries, the storage battery (target storage battery) whose deterioration level is to be matched may be, for example, designated by the user, may be automatically determined by the EMS or the like, or may be selected by the user from storage batteries automatically proposed by the EMS or the like.

[0048] For example, if the deterioration level of a storage battery operated in the deterioration level matching mode is relatively low compared to the deterioration level of the target storage battery, the usage intensity of the storage battery operated in the deterioration level matching mode is set to a level lower than the usage intensity of the target storage battery. In the example shown in Fig. 3, the third storage battery is operated in the deterioration level matching mode in all four time periods, from the first time period to the fourth time period, and is set to match the deterioration level of the first storage battery (target storage battery). Therefore, the usage intensity of the third storage battery is set lower than the usage intensity of the first storage battery in all of the first time period to the fourth time period. The deterioration level matching mode allows a storage battery to match the deterioration level of other storage batteries, making it possible to update batteries all at once, for example, when the time for replacement of the storage batteries approaches. In this way, updating batteries all at once can make the update work more efficient. .

[0049] For example, if the level of deterioration of a storage battery operated in the deterioration level matching mode during a certain time period is relatively high compared to the level of deterioration of the target storage battery, the usage intensity of the storage battery operated in the deterioration level matching mode during that time period is set to a level higher than the usage intensity of the target storage battery.

[0050] For example, if the degree of deterioration of a storage battery operated in the deterioration degree matching mode becomes equal to the degree of deterioration of the target storage battery during a certain time period, the storage battery operated in the deterioration degree matching mode may continue to be operated at the same usage intensity as the target storage battery, and for example, the user may be notified by the notification means 52b that the degree of deterioration of the storage battery operated in the deterioration degree matching mode becomes equal to the degree of deterioration of the target storage battery during a certain time period.

[0051] Note that being notified to the user may mean, for example, displaying information in a pop-up format on the display unit 30, or highlighting the information displayed on the display unit 30. The specific form of highlighting is not limited, but may be, for example, displaying the information in a different color, or displaying the information in bold. Furthermore, for example, the user may be notified of the change in information by sound.

[0052] The deterioration level adjustment mode may be, for example, a mode in which the EMS formulates a plan and operates the storage battery so as to adjust the storage battery to a set deterioration level. When operating the storage battery to adjust to a set deterioration level, the deterioration level may be determined and set by the user, may be determined and set automatically by the EMS or the like, or may be selected and set by the user from storage batteries automatically proposed by the EMS or the like. The deterioration level matching mode allows the storage batteries to be adjusted to a set deterioration level, making it possible to differentiate the deterioration levels of multiple storage batteries, for example. By differentiating the deterioration levels of multiple storage batteries, it is possible to stagger the replacement times of the storage batteries and adjust the number of storage batteries to be replaced at one time. This eliminates the need to arrange for a large number of replacement batteries at once, making the replacement work easier.

[0053] The use-up mode is a mode in which the EMS formulates a plan to use up the battery by actively using and degrading the battery (using it until it reaches a predetermined level of degradation). Therefore, the use-up mode may be a mode in which the battery is operated at maximum usage intensity. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the second battery is operated in the use-up mode in all four time periods, from time period 1 to time period 4. Therefore, the second battery is set to operate at maximum intensity (Level 10) in all four time periods, from time period 1 to time period 4. By operating the storage battery in the use-up mode, for example, it is possible to prioritize the use and use up of storage batteries with a short lifespan that have already deteriorated and are scheduled for replacement. This allows, for example, the deteriorated storage battery to be replaced with a new storage battery, enabling efficient operation of the storage battery.

[0054] For example, if the degradation level of a storage battery operated in a disposable mode becomes 0% at a certain time, the notification means 52b may notify the user that the degradation level of the storage battery operated in a disposable mode will become 0% at a certain time (the storage battery will be fully used up).

[0055] The use information 140 is information indicating the use of the storage battery. The usage information 140 may be information indicating the usage of electricity, which is the usage of electricity operated by charging and discharging the storage battery, for example. The types of usage of electricity of the storage battery are not limited, but examples include (1) trading in the supply and demand adjustment market, (2) buying and selling in the hourly market, (3) trading in multiple markets (e.g., trading as primary control reserve or secondary control reserve), (4) using for imbalance control, (5) buying and selling in the wholesale (spot) market, (6) earning income through FIP, (7) earning income through environmental value, (8) using for peak shifting function, (9) using for bilateral trading, and (10) using for self-consignment. The usage information 140 of this embodiment is the usage of electricity, and the type displayed is one of the above usages (1) to (10).

[0056] The display control means 52 of this embodiment causes the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first use information 141 indicating the use of the electricity charged and discharged by the first storage battery, and also causes the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second use information 142 indicating the use of the electricity charged and discharged by the second storage battery.

[0057] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , first use information 141 indicating the use of the first storage battery displays "primary control reserve" during the first and second time slots, indicating that the battery is traded as primary control reserve, and displays "multiple markets" during the third and fourth time slots, indicating that the battery is traded in multiple markets. Second use information 142 indicating the use of the second storage battery displays "bilateral trading" during the first time slot, indicating that the battery is traded bilaterally, displays "imbalance control" during the second time slot, indicating that the battery is used for imbalance control, displays "self-consignment" during the third time slot, indicating that the battery is used for self-consignment, and displays "wholesale market" during the fourth time slot, indicating that the battery is traded in the wholesale market. Third use information 143 indicating the use of the third storage battery displays "imbalance control" during the first to fourth time slots, indicating that the battery is used for imbalance control.

[0058] Next, the power applications (1) to (11) will be described.

[0059] The supply and demand adjustment market mentioned in (1) above is a market for adjustment capacity. The supply and demand adjustment market is a market for procuring the adjustment capacity necessary to adjust the balance between supply and demand of electricity. The supply and demand adjustment market publicly solicits adjustment capacity. Owners of power sources (for example, batteries or power generation facilities) can bid in the supply and demand adjustment market, and if they win, they have the right to supply electricity as adjustment capacity. If a power source owner wins a bid for adjustment capacity and the adjustment capacity is activated, the power source owner will supply electricity as adjustment capacity. Even if a power source owner wins a bid for adjustment capacity, the power source owner will not supply electricity as adjustment capacity if the adjustment capacity is not activated. When a power source owner wins a bid for adjustment capacity, the power source owner will receive income based on the amount of electricity used for the adjustment capacity they have won. Furthermore, when the adjustment capacity is activated and the power source owner supplies electricity as adjustment capacity, the power source owner can earn profits by selling electricity to the adjustment capacity market (income based on the amount of electricity supplied).

[0060] The pre-hour market in (2) above is a market where trading is possible up to one hour before actual supply and demand, for example. The Organization for Cross-regional Coordination of Transmission Operators (OCCTO) is an organization that consolidates plans from each electric utility. OCCTO receives trading plans, and also receives power generation plans, corresponding sales plans, and demand plans, corresponding procurement plans. However, in the actual supply and demand side, there may be discrepancies between the actual power generation and demand volumes and the trading plans sent to OCCTO, resulting in discrepancies between the actual sales and procurement volumes and the sales and procurement plans. Such a difference (imbalance) occurs, for example, due to a breakdown in power generation equipment. Specifically, the following shortage imbalance and surplus imbalance occur in the actual supply and demand section. When power generation decreases, actual sales decrease. The difference between the actual decreased sales volume and the sales plan becomes a shortage imbalance. When power generation increases, actual sales volume increases. The difference between the actual increased sales volume and the sales plan becomes a surplus imbalance. When demand increases, the actual procurement volume increases. The difference between the actual increased procurement volume and the procurement plan becomes a shortage imbalance. When demand decreases, the actual procurement volume decreases. The difference between the actual procurement volume and the procurement plan becomes a surplus imbalance. When such surplus or shortage imbalances occur, the marginal costs incurred by the former general electric utility to make the final adjustments will be borne by the customer (electric utility) as the imbalance unit price and imbalance cost. Note that the shortage imbalance charge and surplus imbalance charge are calculated, for example, according to the method determined by the Electricity and Gas Market Surveillance Commission. Customers (electric power companies) need to strive to minimize such imbalances, so if an imbalance is expected to occur and trading is possible, for example, in the pre-hours market described below, they will attempt to trade in the pre-hours market in order to resolve the imbalance.

[0061] The above (3) trading electricity in multiple markets may include, for example, trading electricity in different markets such as a spot market and a balancing market. Also, trading electricity in multiple markets may include, for example, trading electricity as primary and secondary control reserves in a balancing market (trading electricity as different products in the same market).

[0062] The imbalance control related to (4) above, for example, adjusts the timing of generating an imbalance. Specifically, for example, while predicting the imbalance price, when the imbalance price is high (when there is a tight supply-demand situation and there is a shortage of electricity in the grid), a surplus is generated and electricity is supplied to the grid. On the other hand, when the imbalance price is low (when there is a surplus of electricity in the grid), a shortage is generated and the surplus electricity is taken from the grid, and the surplus is not output.

[0063] Regarding (5) to (7) above, for example, in relation to the buying and selling of electricity, the EMS formulates a buying and selling plan for the next day by noon the day before and sends it to OCCTO. When electricity is bought and sold in accordance with this plan, it is bought and sold in the spot market described in (5) above. When the electricity is sold on the market, if the electricity is generated based on renewable energy, the FIP (Feed-In Premium) described in (6) above is added to the regular electricity price. The FIP is a value added to electricity generated by renewable energy. This added value may be, for example, a subsidy from a public institution such as a national or local government. When electricity is generated from renewable energy sources, the generated electricity carries the environmental value described in (7) above. This environmental value can be traded, for example, in an environmental value trading market (e.g., a non-fossil value trading market) that is different from the electricity market.

[0064] The peak shift function according to (8) above is a function related to the formulation of a plan. The peak shift function is a function that carries out leveling of the supply and demand of electricity. When the peak shift function carries out leveling of the demand for electricity, for example, the demand for electricity during a time period with high demand (e.g., daytime electricity consumption) is allocated to the demand for electricity during a time period with low demand (e.g., nighttime electricity consumption). The allocation of the demand for electricity is achieved, for example, by changing the time period during which a rechargeable battery is charged. When the peak shift function carries out leveling of the supply of electricity, for example, the supply of electricity during a time period with high supply is allocated to the supply of electricity during a time period with low supply. The allocation of the supply of electricity is achieved, for example, by changing the time period during which a power generation facility generates electricity.

[0065] The bilateral transaction referred to in (9) above refers to a form of transaction in which a power generation company and a retailer trade directly without going through the wholesale market.

[0066] The self-transportation referred to in (10) above refers to the transmission of electricity generated from a power generation facility owned by the company in a remote location to the company's own facility where the electricity is consumed, for use by the company.

[0067] The usage information 140 may be determined by the EMS, may be determined by the user, or may be determined by the user selecting a usage suggested by the EMS. The determined usage information 140 may be changed by the user. When the usage information 140 is changed by the user, the information displayed on the display unit 30 may be changed by the change means 52a.

[0068] The revenue information 150 indicates the expected revenue from operating the storage battery. The revenue information 150 may be an amount calculated by the calculation means 51 based on, for example, information on the power usage of the storage battery (usage information 140), information on past operation results, etc.

[0069] The display control means 52 of this embodiment associates the first deterioration promotion mode information with first revenue information 151 indicating the revenue from the use indicated by the first use information 141 and displays them on the display unit 30, and also associates the second deterioration promotion mode information with second revenue information 152 indicating the revenue from the use indicated by the second use information 142 and displays them on the display unit 30.

[0070] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, "● yen" is displayed as first revenue information 151 indicating the expected revenue of the first storage battery, "● yen" is displayed as second revenue information 152 indicating the expected revenue of the second storage battery, and "● yen" is displayed as third revenue information 153 indicating the expected revenue of the third storage battery.

[0071] The amount of the expected profit changes depending on, for example, the operation of the storage battery. For example, the profit information 150 may be updated to the latest information by the calculation means 51 calculating the expected profit of the storage battery at regular intervals. The profit may be calculated by the calculation means 51 based on a plan that the EMS has made based on the operation mode information 120, the usage intensity information 130, and the usage information 140.

[0072] Deterioration information 160 indicates the current degree of deterioration of the battery. Deterioration information 160 may be, for example, information that allows a user to recognize the degree of deterioration of the battery. The degree of deterioration indicated by deterioration information 160 may be expressed, for example, as a deterioration degree. The deterioration degree indicates the current performance level when the performance of a new (undeteriorated) battery is taken as 100%. Specifically, for example, if the deterioration degree of a battery is 60%, this indicates that the battery has 60% of the performance it had when new. The deterioration degree can be used, for example, to estimate the usable life of the battery if the battery continues to be used as it is currently.

[0073] More specifically, the performance of a storage battery may be indicated by, for example, its State of Health (SOH). The SOH is a measure of how well a storage battery performs compared to its original specifications when new, and indicates the ratio of the capacity of a fully charged battery when new to the capacity of a fully charged battery when degraded.

[0074] The SOH may be calculated by the calculation means 51 based on, for example, the original specifications of the storage battery when it was new, which are stored in the storage unit 40, and the current and future power storage capacities of the storage battery.

[0075] The degree of deterioration indicated by the deterioration information 160 may be calculated by the calculation means 51 based on the storage capacity of the storage battery in a certain time period and the storage capacity of a new battery, for example, based on the information on the storage capacity of the storage battery stored in the memory unit 40, with the storage capacity being the performance of the storage battery.

[0076] 3, in this embodiment, first deterioration information 161 indicating the degree of deterioration (deterioration level) of the first storage battery is displayed as "95%" in the first time slot, "85%" in the second time slot, "75%" in the third time slot, and "65%" in the fourth time slot. Second deterioration information 162 indicating the degree of deterioration (deterioration level) of the second storage battery is displayed as "35%" in the first time slot, "25%" in the second time slot, "15%" in the third time slot, and "5%" in the fourth time slot. Third deterioration information 163 indicating the degree of deterioration (deterioration level) of the third storage battery is displayed as "50%" in the first time slot, "49%" in the second time slot, "48%" in the third time slot, and "47%" in the fourth time slot.

[0077] The deterioration level changes depending on the deterioration of the battery as it is used, for example. For example, the deterioration information 160 may be updated to the latest information by having the calculation means 51 calculate the deterioration level of the battery at regular intervals.

[0078] The degradation progress level information 170 is information indicating the degree of degradation of the storage battery. In this embodiment, the degradation progress level information 170 is information indicating the degree of degradation progress (degradation progress level) in a certain time period. The degradation progress level information 170 may be, for example, a numerical value indicating a prediction of the degree of degradation progress, or may be, for example, a numerical value indicating a predicted value of the amount of change in the market value of the storage battery as the degradation of the storage battery progresses. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 3 , "10% (10,000 yen)" is displayed for the first time period as the first degradation progress level information 171 (predicted value) for the first storage battery. This indicates that the degradation level of the first storage battery progresses by 10% in the first time period and that the cost due to the change in the market value of the storage battery due to the degradation in the first time period is 10,000 yen. The degradation progress level information 170 is not limited to the above, as long as it allows the user to recognize the degree of degradation of the storage battery. The above numerical value is an example, and the progression of the degradation level in the first time period may be approximately 0.01%, for example.

[0079] The display control means 52 of this embodiment causes the display unit 30 to display, in association with each other, first deterioration promotion mode information (operation mode information 120, usage intensity information 130) and first deterioration progress degree information 171 indicating the degree of deterioration of the first storage battery operated in the deterioration promotion mode indicated by the first deterioration promotion mode information, and also causes the display unit 30 to display, in association with each other, second deterioration promotion mode information and second deterioration progress degree information 172 indicating the degree of deterioration of the second storage battery operated in the deterioration promotion mode indicated by the second deterioration promotion mode information.

[0080] The rate at which storage batteries deteriorate may differ depending on the manufacturer, even if they are operated at the same intensity. The manufacturer information 190 is information indicating the manufacturer of the storage battery. The manufacturer information 190 may be any information that allows the user to recognize the manufacturer of the storage battery.

[0081] The display control means 52 of this embodiment causes the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first manufacturer information 191 indicating the manufacturer of the first storage battery, and also causes the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second manufacturer information 192 indicating the manufacturer of the second storage battery.

[0082] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, "Manufacturer A" is displayed as first manufacturer information 191 indicating the manufacturer of the first storage battery, "Manufacturer B" is displayed as second manufacturer information 192 indicating the manufacturer of the second storage battery, and "Manufacturer C" is displayed as third manufacturer information 193 indicating the manufacturer of the third storage battery.

[0083] The manufacturer information 190 may be, for example, the name of the manufacturer, or may be, for example, the type or model number of the storage battery.

[0084] (Display control method) The display control method of this embodiment includes a display control step, a change step, and a notification step. Note that the display control method only needs to include at least the display control step, and does not necessarily need to include the change step and the notification step.

[0085] In the display control step of this embodiment, the storage battery identification information 110, deterioration promotion mode information (operation mode information 120, usage intensity information 130), usage information 140, revenue information 150, deterioration information 160, deterioration progress degree information 170, time zone information 180, and manufacturer information 190 are displayed in association with each other on the display unit 30.

[0086] In the display control step, it is sufficient that first accelerated degradation mode information indicating the accelerated degradation mode of at least the first storage battery is displayed on the display unit 30 together with second accelerated degradation mode information indicating the accelerated degradation mode of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery, and it is not limited to displaying all of the above information on the display unit 30. The information displayed on the display unit 30 in the display control step may be a part of the above information, or may include information other than the above information.

[0087] In the display control step of this embodiment, a table image 100 shown in FIG. 3 is output. The detailed description of each piece of information above may be the same as that of the display control device 1, and therefore will be omitted here.

[0088] In the change step, information displayed on the display unit 30 is changed. In the change step, for example, information displayed on the display unit 30 is changed based on information changed in accordance with user input. Specifically, for example, if the usage intensity of the storage battery is changed by user input, usage intensity information 130 indicating the changed usage intensity is displayed on the display unit 30 in the change step. For example, if the accelerated degradation mode of the storage battery is changed by user input, operation mode information 120 indicating the changed accelerated degradation mode is displayed on the display unit 30 in the change step. For example, if the usage information 140 of the storage battery is changed by user input, usage information 140 indicating the changed power usage is displayed on the display unit 30 in the change step. For example, if at least one of the operation mode information 120, usage intensity information 130, and usage information 140 of the storage battery is changed by user input, and the expected revenue calculated by the calculation means 51 is changed, revenue information 150 indicating the changed revenue is displayed on the display unit 30 in the change step. For example, if at least one of the operation mode information 120, the usage intensity information 130, and the usage information 140 of the storage battery is changed by a user input, and the deterioration level calculated by the calculation means 51 is changed, then in the change step, deterioration information 160 indicating the deterioration level after the change is displayed on the display unit 30. For example, if at least one of the operation mode information 120, the usage intensity information 130, and the usage information 140 of the storage battery is changed by a user input, and the degree of progression of the deterioration level calculated by the calculation means 51 is changed, then in the change step, deterioration progress degree information 170 indicating the degree of progression of the deterioration after the change is displayed on the display unit 30.

[0089] In the notification step, the information is notified. In the notification step, for example, the information may be displayed in a pop-up format on the display unit 30, or the information displayed on the display unit 30 may be highlighted. The specific form of the highlighting is not limited, but for example, the information may be displayed in a different color, or the information may be displayed in bold.

[0090] In the notifying step, in response to the information being changed in the changing step, the changed information may be displayed on the display unit 30 as a notification that can be recognized by the user.

[0091] As described above, the display control device 1 of the present disclosure includes a display control means 52 that causes the display unit 30 to display first deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of a first storage battery, together with second deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery. The degree of deterioration of a storage battery changes depending on the charging and discharging status. Therefore, for efficient operation of the storage battery, for example, the charging and discharging of the storage battery (the degree of deterioration) may be controlled. In particular, when managing multiple storage batteries, it is necessary to control the charging and discharging of each storage battery (the degree of deterioration). The charging and discharging of the storage battery (the degree of deterioration) is controlled by switching the mode (deterioration promotion mode) that determines how deterioration is controlled, for example, depending on the purpose of the storage battery's operation. With the above configuration, the user can grasp at a glance the accelerated degradation mode of the first storage battery and the accelerated degradation mode of the second storage battery. This allows the user to easily understand in what accelerated degradation mode the multiple storage batteries are being operated. This allows the user to easily check information related to control of the degree of degradation of the multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using the storage batteries.

[0092] In addition, the first deterioration promotion mode information may include first usage intensity information 131 indicating the intensity of deterioration promotion for the first storage battery, and the second deterioration promotion mode information may include second usage intensity information 132 indicating the intensity of deterioration promotion for the second storage battery. With this configuration, the user can grasp the intensity of accelerated deterioration of the first storage battery and the intensity of accelerated deterioration of the second storage battery. Therefore, the user can grasp the accelerated deterioration mode of the first storage battery and the accelerated deterioration mode of the second storage battery at a glance, and by checking the intensity of accelerated deterioration of each of the first storage battery and the second storage battery, the user can grasp the degree of progression of deterioration of the multiple storage batteries. Therefore, the user can easily check information related to control of the degree of deterioration of the multiple storage batteries in relation to power operation using the storage batteries.

[0093] In addition, the display control means 52 may cause the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first time zone information 181 indicating the first time zone, and may cause the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second time zone information 182 indicating the second time zone. The accelerated degradation mode of the storage batteries may be changed for each specific time period. With the above configuration, the user can grasp at a glance the accelerated degradation mode of the first storage battery and the accelerated degradation mode of the second storage battery, and can reliably grasp the accelerated degradation mode of the first storage battery in the first time period and the accelerated degradation mode of the second storage battery in the second time period. This allows the user to grasp the accelerated degradation mode for each time period. Therefore, the user can easily check information regarding control of the degree of degradation of multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using storage batteries.

[0094] In addition, the display control means 52 may cause the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first use information 141 indicating the use of the electricity charged and discharged by the first storage battery, and may cause the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second use information 142 indicating the use of the electricity charged and discharged by the second storage battery. With this configuration, the user can be sure to understand the accelerated deterioration mode of the first storage battery and the use of the power charged and discharged in that mode, as well as the accelerated deterioration mode of the second storage battery and the use of the power charged and discharged in that mode. Therefore, the user can easily check information related to the control of the degree of deterioration of multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using storage batteries.

[0095] In addition, the display control means 52 may cause the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with the first revenue information 151 indicating the revenue from the use indicated by the first use information 141, and may cause the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with the second revenue information 152 indicating the revenue from the use indicated by the second use information 142. With this configuration, the user can be sure to understand the accelerated deterioration mode of the first storage battery and the revenue from the use of the power charged and discharged in that mode, as well as the accelerated deterioration mode of the second storage battery and the revenue from the use of the power charged and discharged in that mode. Therefore, the user can easily check information related to the control of the degree of deterioration of multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using storage batteries.

[0096] In addition, the display control means 52 may cause the display unit 30 to display, in association with each other, the first deterioration acceleration mode information and first deterioration progress degree information 171 indicating the degree of deterioration of the first storage battery operated in the deterioration acceleration mode indicated by the first deterioration acceleration mode information, and may cause the display unit 30 to display, in association with each other, the second deterioration acceleration mode information and second deterioration progress degree information 172 indicating the degree of deterioration of the second storage battery operated in the deterioration acceleration mode indicated by the second deterioration acceleration mode information. With this configuration, the user can reliably grasp the accelerated degradation mode of the first storage battery and the degree of degradation of the first storage battery in that mode, and can also reliably grasp the accelerated degradation mode of the second storage battery and the degree of degradation of the second storage battery in that mode. Thus, the user can easily check information related to control of the degree of degradation of multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using storage batteries.

[0097] Furthermore, the manufacturer of the first storage battery and the manufacturer of the second storage battery may be different. Storage battery capacity (rated capacity) and the degree of deterioration may differ depending on the manufacturer. With the above configuration, even if the storage batteries are from different manufacturers, the user can easily grasp information regarding the degree of deterioration of the storage batteries.

[0098] In addition, the display control means 52 may cause the display unit 30 to display the first deterioration promotion mode information in association with first manufacturer information 191 indicating the manufacturer of the first storage battery, and may cause the display unit 30 to display the second deterioration promotion mode information in association with second manufacturer information 192 indicating the manufacturer of the second storage battery. With this configuration, the user can easily know the manufacturer of the first storage battery and the manufacturer of the second storage battery, and thus the user can easily check information related to controlling the degree of deterioration of multiple storage batteries in relation to the operation of power using the storage batteries.

[0099] The display control method disclosed herein includes a display control step of displaying on a display unit 30 first deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of a first storage battery together with second deterioration promotion mode information indicating the deterioration promotion mode of a second storage battery different from the first storage battery.
