Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit that communicates with a mobile terminal (terminal) of a user; and a processor (control unit) that controls the communication unit. When the communication unit has not received deterioration information (battery information) on a battery from the mobile terminal for greater than or equal to a cycle (predetermined period), the processor performs control for obtaining the deterioration information through the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A leasing method includes obtaining first data representing a history of a current that flows in a power storage mounted on a vehicle, obtaining second data representing a history of an amount of accelerator operation in the vehicle, obtaining third data representing a travel distance or a time period of travel of the vehicle, obtaining an accident risk of the vehicle based on the first data, the second data, and the third data, and obtaining a degree of exhaustion of a consumable including the power storage based on the first data, the second data, and the third data, the consumable being provided to the vehicle by lease.

Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information about a degree of degradation of a battery (secondary battery); and a processor (control unit) that calculates a lease fee of the battery using the information about the degree of degradation of the battery. The processor performs suppression processing for suppressing an increase of the lease fee, the increase of the lease fee being based on deterioration of a degree of discharging-caused degradation caused by discharging in response to a request for adjusting a power demand/supply state in a power system (PG).

Abstract: A server includes: a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information of a capacity retention (degree of degradation) of a battery (secondary battery); and a processor (control unit) that calculates a lease fee of the battery using the information of the capacity retention. The processor performs suppression processing for suppressing an increase of the lease fee, the increase of the lease fee being based on deterioration (decrease) of the capacity retention due to an environment in which the electrically powered vehicle is used.

Abstract: A management method for a power storage device includes: when energy management by charging or discharging of a power storage device is requested from an aggregator, determining whether or not requested power for charging or discharging exceeds a predetermined value; when the requested power exceeds the predetermined value, if the aggregator having requested is a registered aggregator, performing charging or discharging of the power storage device in accordance with the request; and when the requested power exceeds the predetermined value, if the aggregator having requested is not the registered aggregator, not performing charging or discharging of the power storage device in accordance with the request.

Abstract: A management method for managing a power storage device includes: when information indicating that an accident has occurred with regard to a target vehicle including a power storage device, obtaining first owner information indicating an owner of the power storage device from a data management device that manages information about a plurality of vehicles including the target vehicle; specifying the owner of the power storage device using the obtained first owner information; and providing, to a terminal of the specified owner of the power storage device, a notification that informs the occurrence of the accident of the target vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel high-efficiency infrared ray heating apparatus enabling concentrated heating of infrared rays to achieve high efficiency and seeking to reduce the size and weight to be usable on a desk, thereby achieving power saving. An infrared condensing side rotation reflector is connected to an infrared emission side rotation elliptic reflector. An infrared ray lamp is arranged in a focal position of the infrared emission side rotation elliptic reflector. The infrared emission side rotation elliptic reflector and the infrared condensing side rotation reflector are configured in such a shape that infrared rays reflected by the infrared emission side rotation elliptic reflector and the infrared condensing side rotation reflector are condensed with concentration on a tip small-diameter portion of the infrared condensing side rotation reflector. In some embodiments, a quartz rod focuses this infrared energy from the loop onto a specimen mounting stand.

Abstract: Thermal treatment equipment for rapidly heating a SiC substrate having a diameter of several inches or larger to a temperature as high as 1200° C. or higher with a high in-plane evenness by heating a peripheral zone of a substrate using high frequency induction and by heating a central zone of the substrate using infrared lamps while the substrate and a stage thereof are covered with a shield plate.

Abstract: A control method of a gas turbine provided with a plurality of combustors each of which has a first stage combustion part effecting diffusion combustion and a second stage combustion part effecting premixed combustion, comprises: monitoring a quantity of state representative of the combustion condition of the combustor or gas turbine, and regarding the combustion condition as being abnormal combustion when the quantity of state exceeds an allowable value and lowering gas turbine load to a predetermined partial load, thereby to continue the operation.

Abstract: A control method of a gas turbine which is provided with a multi can type combustor consisting of a plurality of unit combustors, each of which has a first stage combustion section for diffusion combustion and a second stage combustion section for premix combustion. Combustion states in the first and second stage combustion sections are monitored to take in quantities representative of the combustion conditions as control factors. The combustion in the second stage combustion section is assumed to be abnormal when the taken in quantities exceed an allowable limit and the combustion in the first and second stage combustion sections is changed to independent combustion only in the first stage combustion section when the number of unit combustors, each of which is assumed to be abnormal, exceeds a predetermined number of the unit combustors.
