Electric power from the electric power plant 111 and electric power from the battery pack 300A are supplied to the customer side electric power system 113 through the electric power network 116. The battery pack 300B can store electric power supplied to the customer side electric power system 113. Similarly to the electric power converter 118, the electric power converter 122 includes a converter, an inverter, a transformer and the like. Thus, the electric power converter 122 can perform conversion between direct current and alternate current, conversion between alternate currents of frequencies different from each other, voltage transformation (step-up and step-down) and the like. Therefore, the electric power converter 122 can convert electric power supplied to the customer side electric power system 113 into electric power that can be stored in the battery pack 300B.
Note that the electric power stored in the battery pack 300B can be used, for example, for charging a vehicle such as an electric vehicle. Also, the system 110 may be provided with a natural energy source. In such a case, the natural energy source generates electric power by natural energy such as wind power and solar light. In addition to the electric power plant 111, electric power is also supplied from the natural energy source through the electric power network 116.
Examples will be described below. The embodiments are not limited to the following examples.
