  • Publication number: 20100259868
    Abstract: A chip type solid electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element-laminate. In the capacitor element-laminate, a plurality of capacitor elements, each having an anode portion and a cathode portion, are laminated so that the anode portions of the adjacent capacitor elements are disposed in the direction opposite to each other. Anode lead terminals are joined to the bottom faces of the anode portions of the capacitor elements disposed at both ends of the capacitor element-laminate. A cathode lead terminal is joined to the bottom face of the cathode portion of the capacitor element disposed in the center of the capacitor element-laminate. An Electrically insulating exterior resin coats the capacitor element-laminate so as to expose at least a part of the bottom faces of the anode lead terminals and a part of the cathode lead terminal.

  • Patent number: 6882060
    Abstract: A turbine generating apparatus includes a control unit which controls the turbine generating apparatus as follows. During a system connection running mode, a fuel is fed to the gas turbine at a fuel flow rate corresponding to a preset load. The converter prepares a pseudo-system in which a frequency conforms to a set rotational speed of the gas turbine at the preset load, and converts an output of the generator to a direct current in a state that a number of revolutions of the gas turbine is specified by operating the generator synchronously with the pseudo-system. A power to be taken out is controlled depending on a magnitude of a turbine output. The inverter converts a DC voltage output from the converter to an AC voltage by a pulse width modulation at a system voltage and a system frequency so as to keep the DC voltage output from the converter at a predetermined voltage.
