Power control apparatus and power control method for securing reserve power against power failure

摘要

A power control apparatus and a power control method for efficiently securing reserve power as a precaution against power failure are disclosed. The power control device includes a first communication unit configured to receive power information including power failure information through a power information network, a second communication unit configured to receive reserve power information including remaining power information from a power storage unit for storing reserve power, and a control unit configured to generate charging control information for storing reserve power in the power storage unit based on the power information and the reserve power information and to control storage of the power in the power storage unit.

1. A power control device comprising:
a memory; a power storage unit for storing power; and a power control device configured to: receive power information including power failure information and power demand information of a power consumer, the power failure information including power failure start time information and power failure duration information, the power demand information including the amount of power required by the power consumer per unit time; receive reserve power information including remaining power information from a power storage unit for storing reserve power, the reserve power information including information about the amount of power stored in the power storage unit per unit time; generate power amount information based on the power failure duration information and the information about the amount of power required by the power consumer per unit time; generate charge information based on the power amount information and the remaining power information; generate the charging duration information of the power storage unit based on the charge information and the information about the amount of power stored in the power storage unit per unit time; generate charging start time information based on the power failure start time information and the charging duration information; and control storage of the power in the power storage unit based on charging control information including the power amount information, the charge information, the charging duration information, and charging start time information, wherein, when power failure occurs, a first message for notifying a power failure state, a second message for notifying a state of the reserve power stored in the power storage unit, and a third message for notifying insufficiency of the remaining power are displayed on a display unit, and wherein, when it is determined that the remaining power is insufficient for the expected power failure duration, the third message is displayed on the display unit.
