  • Patent number: 10128694
    Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a plurality of storage cells connected in series. Each storage cell comprises a storage element that stores a charge, a container that houses the storage element, a reception antenna capable of receiving power transmitted from a transmission antenna of a feeding facility provided in a wireless power transfer system, and a charging control circuit that charges the storage element using the power received by the reception antenna. The plurality of storage cells are charged concurrently and wirelessly, and therefore charging can be performed on all of the storage cells without overcharging or undercharging.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: VOLVO TRUCK CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 7409276
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine (1) which constitutes a prime bar of a vehicle and an electricity storage device (10) serving as a main power source of the rotary electric machine (1) and composed of a plurality of capacitor modules (11) in which a plurality of capacitor cells make one set are provided. A hybrid control unit (3) which comprises a means for calculating assigned voltages of the capacitor modules, a means for calculating an average value of the assigned voltages of the capacitor module, and a means for equalizing the assigned voltages of the capacitor modules based on the average value. By restricting a difference among the assigned voltages of the capacitor modules (11), it is possible to fully utilize a capacity of the electricity storage device (10).
