Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known an indoor environment adjusting device for adjusting the indoor environment of a plant cultivation greenhouse in order to maintain the growth environment of plants in the plant cultivation greenhouse in a more appropriate state.

流電源による商用電源電力Pcによって得ている。This indoor environment adjusting device has a plurality of air conditioners as an adjusting device for adjusting the temperature in the greenhouse for plant cultivation to an appropriate temperature, and its driving power is obtained by the commercial power source power Pc from the commercial AC power source. ing.
【０００４】特に、植物工場に代表される最近の植物栽
培温室にあっては、室内環境調整装置により高度な室内
環境制御が行なわれており、このような室内環境で育成
される植物の生命は電気エネルギーで支えられていると
言える。Particularly in a recent plant cultivation greenhouse represented by a plant factory, a high degree of indoor environment control is performed by an indoor environment adjusting device, and the life of plants grown in such an indoor environment is It can be said that it is supported by electric energy.

はない上に、これ以上の信頼性向上も望めない。[0005] By the way, since the occurrence of a power failure is inevitable in the AC commercial power supply for supplying the electric energy, a plant that has been carefully cultivated will die due to a power failure of only a few minutes during a long cultivation period of several months. Considering this, the commercial AC power supply as a supply source is not sufficiently reliable, and further improvement in reliability cannot be expected.
【０００６】そこで、このような植物栽培温室のバック
アップ電源として太陽電池を利用することにより、交流
商用電源の停電時においても電力の供給を可能とするこ
とが考えられる。Therefore, it is conceivable to use a solar cell as a backup power source for such a greenhouse for plant cultivation so that power can be supplied even during a power failure of the AC commercial power source.

ことができる。When a solar cell is used, the driving power is supplied through an uninterruptible power supply (CVCF) into which both the photovoltaic power Ps and the commercial power Pc are input, and the commercial AC power fails. Even when the solar power Ps is supplied, it is possible to ensure the continuous operation of the air conditioner, which is indispensable for the growth management of plants in the plant cultivation greenhouse.

The driving power, which is the sum of the above, usually does not exceed the maximum output power Pmax of the uninterruptible power supply, and when the commercial AC power fails, the photovoltaic power Ps and the maximum output power Pmax of the uninterruptible power supply are The lesser of the two cannot be exceeded.

安定して行えないという問題点があった。However, the photovoltaic power Ps, which is the power supplied at the time of power failure of the commercial AC power supply, varies greatly depending on the irradiation of sunlight on the solar cell (usable power). , If multiple air conditioners are operating at the same time but the generated power is too small to cover the required power, not only will the operation become unstable, but continuous operation will not be possible, so the adjustment of the indoor environment will be stable. There was a problem that I could not do it.

あった。Further, even when the commercial AC power supply is in a healthy state (other than when the commercial AC power supply is out of power), the maximum output power Pmax of the uninterruptible power supply is the rated power consumption of all air conditioners connected to the uninterruptible power supply. There is also a problem in that a large-capacity uninterruptible power supply, which is extremely expensive, is required to construct a practical system.

In addition, it is possible to operate the adjusting device appropriately in accordance with the available power to be supplied to stably adjust the indoor environment, and to create a practical system without the need for a large-capacity uninterruptible power supply.
