Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power control apparatus includes: a control unit that controls discharged power of a first battery and discharged power of a second battery; and a power acquisition unit that acquires a total power to be supplied from the first and second batteries to a load device connected to the first and second batteries. The control unit: in a first period, changes the discharged power of the first battery according to a change in the acquired total power, and changes the discharged power of the second battery toward a first direction in which the discharged power of the second battery approximates the discharged power of the first battery; and, in a second period after the first period, changes the discharged power of the second battery according to the change in the acquired total power, and changes the discharged power of the first battery toward a second direction opposite the first direction.
