Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Storage battery unit is a storage battery unit which is connected to PCS. Storage battery unit includes: storage battery module that includes a plurality of electric cells; first terminal which is connectable to PCS, and capable of outputting electric power from storage battery module to PCS; and second terminal which is connectable to external device, and capable of outputting electric power from storage battery module to external device without passing through PCS.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A storage battery unit which is connected to a power conditioner, the storage battery unit comprising: a storage battery module that includes a plurality of electric cells; a first terminal which is connectable to the power conditioner, and capable of outputting electric power from the storage battery module to the power conditioner; a second terminal which is connectable to an external device, and capable of outputting electric power from the storage battery module to the external device without passing through the power conditioner; a control unit that detects a predetermined state, wherein in a first state, only the first terminal out of the first terminal and the second terminal is capable of outputting electric power from the storage battery module, the first state being a state before the control unit detects the predetermined state, and in a second state, the second terminal is capable of outputting electric power from the storage battery module, the second state being a state after the control unit has detected the predetermined state. 2. The storage battery unit according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit: sends information on the storage battery module to the power conditioner before detecting the predetermined state; and controls an output of electric power from the storage battery module via the second terminal after detecting the predetermined state. 3. The storage battery unit according to claim 1 , wherein in the second state, only the second terminal is capable of outputting electric power from the storage battery module.
