Now referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, when the process in the flowchart is started, the ECU 300 obtains information on the house 1000 side from the external control unit 800 via the communication units 870 and 370 in Step SI 1.
  • the obtained information includes information on: 1) whether PCS 900 is present in the house 1000 or not; 2) whether the PCS 900 can receive DC discharge or not (whether the DC power path is dedicated for charge of an on-vehicle battery or not); 3) whether the PCS 900 can receive AC discharge or not (whether the AC power path is dedicated for charge of the on-vehicle battery or not); 4) whether an emergency outlet is present in the house or not, or similar information.
  • Step S12 the ECU 300 determines whether the PCS 900 is present at the house side or not, based on the obtained information. For example, the house with the constitution illustrated in FIG. 5 is determined that the PCS 900 is present in Step SI 2, and the process proceeds to Step SI 3.
  • Step SI 3 the ECU 300 determines whether the PCS .900 can receive DC discharge or not, based on the obtained information. Even if the PCS 900 includes the DC connector 901, the PCS 900 may have a specification chargeable only to the on- vehicle battery 110.
  • Step SI 3 when it is determined that the PCS 900 can receive the DC discharge, the process proceeds to Step SI 4.
  • the ECU 300 conducts the relay 707 in FIG. 1, stops the inverter 201 , separates the relay 211, or performs similar control.
  • Step SI 3 if it is determined that the PCS 900 cannot receive the DC discharge, the process proceeds to Step S 16.
  • Step S 16 the ECU 300 determines whether the PCS 900 can receive AC discharge or not, based on the obtained information. Even if the PCS 900 includes the AC connector 410, the PCS 900 may have a specification chargeable only to the on- vehicle battery 110.
  • Step SI 6 when it is determined that the PCS 900 can receive the AC discharge, the process proceeds to Step S I 7.
  • Step SI 6 when it is determined that the PCS 900 cannot receive the AC discharge, the process proceeds to Step S 18.
  • Step S12 the ECU 300 determines whether an emergency outlet is present at the house side or not, based on the information obtained in Step SI 1. For example, the house with the constitution illustrated in FIG. 5 is determined that the emergency outlet is absent in Step SI 5, and the process proceeds to Step SI 8. The house with the constitution illustrated in FIG. 6 is determined that the emergency outlet is present in Step SI 5, and the process proceeds to Step SI 7.
  • Step SI 7 to perform discharge using the AC path, the ECU 300 separates the relay 707 in FIG. 1 , operates the inverter 201, couples the relay 211, or performs similar control.
  • Step SI 8 discharge from the on-vehicld battery 110 is not performed.
  • the power supply device for a vehicle of Embodiment 1 can obtain information regarding specifications of an external device coupled over communications and can discharge the external device with optimum aspect.
  • Embodiment 1 in the case where the house and the vehicle are coupled with both the DC power path and the AC power path, in particular, like the case where a combo connector of SAE J 1772 standard is used, which path should be selected for discharge is clarified.
  • FIG. 9 is a flowchart for describing a second process of selecting AC discharge and DC discharge in the discharge control performed by the ECU 300.
  • the ECU 300 first obtains a failure situation of the PCS 900 at the house 1000 side from the external control unit 800 via the communication units 870 and 370 in Step S31.
  • the obtained information includes information on presence/absence of a failure in the DC/DC converter 902, presence/absence of a failure in the DC/AC converter 904, or similar information.
  • Step S32 the ECU 300 determines whether the DC/DC converter 902 is faulty or not . based on the obtained information.
  • the process proceeds to Step S36 and DC discharge is performed. Since DC discharge can output electric power of the on- vehicle battery 110 without conversion into alternating current, the number of conversions is small. Therefore, DC discharge is efficient and is preferentially selected.
  • Step S33 the process proceeds to Step S33.
  • Step S33 the ECU 300 determines whether the DC/ AC converter 904 is faulty or not, based on the obtained information.
  • the process proceeds to Step S35 and AC discharge is performed.
  • AC discharge is less efficient than DC discharge; however, the AC discharge is selected because electric power of the on-vehicle battery 110 can be supplied to the PCS 900.
  • the process proceeds to Step S34.
  • the ECU 300 does not perform discharge from the on-vehicle battery 110.
  • Embodiment 2 in the case where the house and the vehicle are coupled with both the DC power path and the AC power path, in particular, like the case where the combo connector of SAE J 1772 standard is used, which path should be selected for discharge is clarified.
  • Embodiment 3 simultaneously performs AC discharge and DC discharge in case of a power failure.
  • a commercial power supply is not supplied to the house side. This tends to cause shortage of electric power; therefore, it is designed that the maximum electric power can be supplied from the vehicle.
  • FIG. 10 is a flowchart for describing a process of determining whether the AC discharge and the DC discharge are simultaneously performed or not in the discharge control performed by the ECU 300. Now referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 10, after starting the process of this flowchart, first, communications are attempted to the communication unit 870 at the house 1000 side, and it is determined whether the communication unit 870 responds to it or not in Step S51.
  • Step S51 When the communication unit 870 responds in Step S51 , the process proceeds to Step S54 and control is returned to the main routine. On the other hand, when there is no response in Step S51, it is determined that a power failure occurs in the house 1000, and the process proceeds to Step S52. For example, if the communication unit ' 870 obtains its power supply from the commercial power supply, a power failure causes the communication unit 870 to stop responding.
  • Step S52 the ECU 300 determines whether an emergency power feeding command is input or not.
  • the user inputs the emergency power feeding command from the operating unit (not illustrated).
  • This operating unit may not be dedicated for input of the emergency power feeding command. Any operating unit may be employed as long as discharging the ECU 300 in the vehicle is allowed with the operating unit employed for another function.
  • a vehicle may be constituted such that striking a vehicle start switch (a start button) repeatedly inputs the emergency power feeding command.
  • Step S55 if the emergency power feeding command is not input, the process proceeds to Step S55 and discharge is not performed.
  • the emergency power feeding command is input in Step S52, the process proceeds to Step S53.
  • the ECU 300 conducts the relays 211 and 707 in FIG. 1 to operate the inverter 201.
