SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18313461 titled 'SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a solar power generation system that includes a solar power generation device, a load device, and a control device. The control device has a switching control unit that starts and stops the power supply to the load device based on the amount of electric energy generated by the solar power generation device. It also includes a number-of-times acquiring unit that keeps track of the number of times the switching control is executed, and a threshold setting unit that adjusts the starting and stopping threshold values based on the number of times the switching control is executed within a predetermined period.
- The solar power generation system includes a solar power generation device, load device, and control device.

Original Abstract Submitted
A solar power generation system includes a solar power generation device, a load device, and a control device. The control device includes a switching control unit for executing switching control for starting power supply to the load device when electric energy generated by the solar power generation device is equal to or larger than a starting threshold value and stopping the power supply to the load device when the electric energy becomes equal to or smaller than a stopping threshold value, a number-of-times acquiring unit for acquiring the number of times of execution of the switching control, and a threshold setting unit for increasing or reducing at least one of the staring threshold value and the stopping threshold value based on whether the number of times of execution acquired by the number-of-times acquiring unit within a first predetermined period has reached a predetermined first upper limit number of times.
