Abstract:
A charge and discharge control apparatus and method are provided. The charge and discharge control apparatus decides multiple discharge time intervals and multiple discharge power values for an energy storage according to a predicted load curve and a peak shaving threshold and decides multiple charge time intervals and multiple charge power values for the energy storage according to the predicted load curve and a customer base line. The peak shaving threshold is between a contracted capacity and a peak value of the predicted load curve. A difference between the peak value and the peak shaving threshold is not greater than a maximum discharge power of the energy storage. The customer base line is between the contracted capacity and a valley value of the predicted load curve. A difference between the customer base line and the valley value is not greater than a maximum charge power of the energy storage.

Claim (Index 7):
