Abstract
A power control system includes: an ECU configured to control (i) charging from a power facility to a vehicle and (ii) discharging from the vehicle to the power facility; and a user terminal configured to allow a user to separately set a charging power setting value and a discharging power setting value. When the charging from the power facility to the vehicle is performed, the ECU is configured to control power charged to the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the charging power setting value set by the user using the user terminal. When the discharging from the vehicle to the power facility is performed, the ECU is configured to control power discharged from the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the discharging power setting value set by the user using the user terminal.
Claims7
A power control system configured to control power exchanged between a power facility and a vehicle, the power control system comprising:
- a control device configured to control (i) charging from the power facility to the vehicle and (ii) discharging from the vehicle to the power facility;
- and
- a setting device configured to allow a user to separately set a charging power setting value and a discharging power setting value, wherein
- when the charging from the power facility to the vehicle is performed, the control device is configured to control power charged to the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the charging power setting value set by the user using the setting device, and
- when the discharging from the vehicle to the power facility is performed, the control device is configured to control power discharged from the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the discharging power setting value set by the user using the setting device.
A vehicle configured to exchange power with a power facility, the vehicle comprising:
- a control device configured to control (i) charging from the power facility to the vehicle and (ii) discharging from the vehicle to the power facility;
- and
- a setting device configured to allow a user to separately set a charging power setting value and a discharging power setting value, wherein
- when the charging from the power facility to the vehicle is performed, the control device is configured to control power charged to the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the charging power setting value set by the user using the setting device, and
- when the discharging from the vehicle to the power facility is performed, the control device is configured to control power discharged from the vehicle per unit time to correspond to the discharging power setting value set by the user using the setting device.
