Abstract: A steam turbine is provided with an electric motor, a plurality of controller units, a status storing unit, and a master controller. The electric motor drives a regulating valve for controlling the opening and closing of a steam passage in which steam supplied to a turbine body is circulated.

Abstract: Within a range of a second limit current (±I_adj_max) set based on the performance of a secondary battery (140), a charging and discharging control device (170) determines an upper limit value (I_adj_limit) or a lower limit value (?I_adj_limit) of a state of charge (SOC) adjustment current (I_adj) in accordance with load power (required power and regeneration power) of a vehicle (100). Using an adjustment logic determined based on these limit values of the SOC adjustment current (I_adj), the charging and discharging control device (170) also determines the SOC adjustment current (I_adj) corresponding to an actually measured SOC value of the secondary battery (140).

Abstract: Adjustment values, including a station stop time or a departure interval, are set for each vehicle. Next, the set adjustment values and a traveling pattern are used to calculate the power consumption by and regenerative power from each vehicle when in operation for each time point. Next, the total vehicle power at each time point is calculated by subtracting the total regenerative power from braking vehicles from the total power consumption by powering vehicles one a per time point basis. Next, a positive value or a negative value is extracted from the total vehicle power at each time point. Next, an evaluation value is calculated using the absolute value of the total of the extracted values. Next, adjustment values that produce the smaller evaluation value are identified.
