  • Patent number: 11929621
    Abstract: A power control apparatus for a distributed power supply interconnected with a power system includes: a conversion circuit that performs reverse conversion of converting power supplied from the distributed power supply from direct current to alternating current and outputting the converted power; and a control device that controls the conversion circuit. The control device changes a target value of received power at a power reception point of the power system on the basis of a predicted value of a power generation amount of the distributed power supply and a predicted value of power consumption of a demand facility, and controls an output of the conversion circuit such that the received power at the power reception point becomes a target value.

  • Patent number: 9893331
    Abstract: A battery adhesion-fixation structure includes battery cells, a holder, an adhesive agent, bus bars, and an insulator. The holder includes holder holes for holding the battery cells therein. The adhesive agent adheres the battery cells with the holder within the holder holes. The bus bars electrically connect the battery cells with each other. The insulator intervenes between the bus bars and the holder. The bus bars include a bus-bar hole, and a terminal tab. The bus-bar hole faces face-to-face to an electrode terminal of the battery cells. The terminal tab projects into the bus-bar hole to be electrically connected with the electrode terminal. The insulator includes a face, and a dent opening in the face. The face opposes to the holder. The dent opens in the face, and accommodates the adhesive agent overflown toward the insulator therein.
