Photovoltaic power generation system with storage batteries

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of reducing optimally peak demand for power by using small capacity storage batteries. The present invention was made to provide a photovoltaic power generation system which links with a utility power system, feeds electric power generated by a solar cell device to an inverter in order to convert the electric power into alternating current, and supplies the alternating current to a power consumption section. The photovoltaic power generation system comprises storage batteries for storing electric power and a switch control device for switching to output electric power from the solar cell device to the storage batteries or the inverter. Also the photovoltaic power generation system controls discharge of the electric power stored in the storage batteries with reference to a specific period of high power demand represented by a fluctuation curve of power demand, and supplies the electric power from the storage batteries along with generation power from the solar cell device to the inverter.
