    Abstract: In a management device that manages a power storage module in which a plurality of cell blocks in which a plurality of cells are connected in parallel are connected in series, a voltage detector detects a voltage of each of the plurality of cell blocks connected in series. The controller calculates a change value of a voltage of each of the plurality of cell blocks for a certain period of time, integrates absolute values of calculated voltage change values for each of the cell blocks, and determines presence or absence of a cell block including a separated cell that is electrically separated based on an integration value of voltage changes for each of the plurality of cell blocks.

    Abstract: Provided is a controller configured: to calculate, among voltages detected from a plurality of cells, a voltage difference between the voltage detected from one cell of the plurality of cells, the one cell to be detected, and a representative voltage at each of a first time and a second time, the representative voltage based on the voltage detected from at least one cell of the plurality of cells, the at least one cell to be compared; and when a discrepancy between the voltage difference at the first time and the voltage difference at the second time is equal to or more than a threshold, to determine that an abnormality has occurred in the one cell to be detected. The controller refers to a state-of-charge versus open-circuit-voltage (SOC-OCV) curve of the one cell to be detected in accordance with a state-of-health (SOH) of the one cell to be detected, so as to estimate an SOC as initial capacitance reference of the one cell to be detected in correspondence to the voltage detected from the one cell to be detected. The controller introduces a linear function using an SOC as initial capacitance reference as an input variable, using an OCV as an output variable, and having a predetermined inclination, and applies the SOC as initial capacitance reference of the one cell to be detected that the controller has estimated to the linear function, so as to derive an OCV. Then, in place of the voltage detected from the one cell to be detected, the controller uses the OCV that the controller has derived, so as to calculate the voltage difference at the first time and the voltage difference at the second time.
