Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

At least one of a message indicating a spec of a PV apparatus ( 130 ) and a message indicating a status of the PV apparatus ( 130 ) is standardized between an EMS ( 200 ) and the PV apparatus ( 130 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A management system comprising: a photovoltaic cell apparatus having a solar panel and a power conditioner which converts a power generated by the solar panel; and a control apparatus configured to receive a message having a predetermined format from the photovoltaic cell apparatus in accordance with a predetermined protocol, wherein the control apparatus receives a first message indicating a first rated power in a grid connection state in which the power conditioner is connected to a grid and a second message indicating a second rated power in a self-sustained operation state in which the power conditioner is not connected to the grid, in a state where the first rated power and the second rated power are distinguishable, the first message and the second message being transmitted from the photovoltaic cell apparatus to the control apparatus as the message having the predetermined format. 2. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the control apparatus receives, from the photovoltaic cell apparatus, a message indicating an existence or non-existence of a function of transmitting the first message and the second message, as the message having the predetermined format, before receiving the first message and the second message. 3. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the control apparatus configured to receive a message indicating a maximum output power of the solar panel as the message having the predetermined format. 4. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the control apparatus configured to receive a message indicating the power conditioner is connected to a power grid or the power conditioner is connected to a self-sustain terminal as the message having the predetermined format. 5. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the control apparatus configured to receive a message indicating the power conditioner is one of connected to a power grid and the power conditioner is connected to a self-sustain terminal as the message having the predetermined format.
