Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power generation planning method for a fuel cell device according to the present disclosure includes: receiving a power generation plan for a fuel cell device; storing the received power generation plan for the fuel cell device; and if a next power generation plan is not received and a remaining period of the stored power generation plan is shorter than a predetermined period, using data of the stored power generation plan to add a power generation plan so that the remaining period of the power generation plan is equal to or longer than the predetermined period.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A power generation planning method for a fuel cell device, the method comprising: receiving a power generation plan for a fuel cell device; storing the received power generation plan for the fuel cell device; and if a next power generation plan is not received and a remaining period of the stored power generation plan is shorter than a predetermined period, using data of the stored power generation plan to add a power generation plan so that the remaining period of the power generation plan is equal to or longer than the predetermined period. 2 . The power generation planning method for a fuel cell device according to claim 1 , wherein data of a last unit period of the stored power generation plan is repeated to make the remaining period of the power generation plan be equal to or longer than the predetermined period. 3 . The power generation planning method for a fuel cell device according to claim 1 , wherein data of a period corresponding to the difference between the predetermined period and the remaining period is retrieved from the stored power generation plan, and the data is added to make the remaining period of the power generation plan be equal to or longer than the predetermined period. 4 . The power generation planning method for a fuel cell device according to claim 1 , the method comprising: receiving first information indicating a selection of either a first power generation planning method in which data of a last unit period of the stored power generation plan is repeated to make the remaining period of the power generation plan be equal to or longer than the predetermined period or a second power generation planning method in which data of a period corresponding to the difference between the predetermined period and the remaining period is retrieved from the stored power generation plan, and the data is added to make the remaining period of the power generation plan be equal to or longer than the predetermined period, wherein either the method of adding the first power generation or the method of adding the second power generation plan is executed on the basis of the first information. 5 . The power generation planning method for a fuel cell device according to claim 1 , the method further comprising: receiving second information indicating not to add the power generation plan, wherein if the second information is received, the power generation plan is not added. 6 . A power generation planning device for a fuel cell device, the power generation planning device comprising: a communicator that receives a power generation plan for a fuel cell device; storage that stores the received power generation plan for the fuel cell device; and a controller that, if a next power generation plan is not received via the communicator and a remaining period of the power generation plan stored in the storage is shorter than a predetermined period, uses data of the power generation plan stored in the storage to add a power generation plan so that the remaining period of the power generation plan is equal to or longer than the predetermined period. 7 . A power generation system comprising: a fuel cell device; and the power generation planning device for a fuel cell device according to claim 6 .
