POWER STORAGE CONTROL APPARATUS, DIRECT-CURRENT POWER SYSTEM, AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A power line interface is electrically connectable to a direct-current power system including a power line. A voltage sensor measures a first voltage value of direct current flowing through a power line. A bidirectional DC-DC convertor circuit is electrically connected to the power line interface. A controller receives the first voltage value measured by the voltage sensor and a power charge or discharge command value indicating an amount of power to charge the battery or an amount of power to be discharged from the battery, and controls the bidirectional DC-DC converter circuit based on the first voltage value and the power charge or discharge command value. The bidirectional DC-DC convertor circuit controls the first voltage value to approximate to a prescribed voltage value, and a current value of a direct current flowing between the bidirectional DC-DC converter circuit and the power line to approximate to a prescribed current value.
