DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT DEVICE, DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

The present invention provides a development support device, a development support method, and a computer program. The development support device comprises a reception unit that, after user authentication at a terminal device, receives the selection information about a degradation mechanism for a power storage device from the terminal device; a simulation execution unit that, on the basis of the received selection information, simulates degradation of the power storage device by using the selected degradation mechanism; and a transmission unit that sends the terminal device simulation results from the simulation execution unit or a simulation program that is to be executed when degradation of the power storage device is simulated. 本发明提供一种开发支援装置、开发支援方法以及计算机程序。开发支援装置具备：接收部，在终端装置的用户认证后，从所述终端装置接收与蓄电器件的劣化机理有关的选择信息；模拟执行部，基于接收到的选择信息，利用所选择的劣化机理来模拟蓄电器件的劣化；和发送部，将由模拟执行部模拟的模拟结果或者在模拟所述蓄电器件的劣化时执行的模拟程序发送给终端装置。
