Abstract

Included are a power-generation amount calculating section calculating an expected amount of power-generation being an amount of power generated by a power generating section in the future, for each predetermined period, a power-consumption amount calculating section calculating an expected amount of power-consumption being an amount of power consumed by a power load, for the predetermined period, an excess power period determining section determining an excess power period, an excess power amount calculating section calculating an expected excess power amount, and a charge/discharge control section controlling charge/discharge of a battery so that a remaining amount of the battery at the beginning of the excess power period becomes an amount resulting from subtracting the expected excess power amount from a pre-set charge amount.
