  • Patent number: 9876350
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a power supply system which effectively utilizes a power storage unit and also limits degradation of the power storage unit. [Solution] A power supply system (1) is provided with: a power storage unit (2) for charging supplied electric power and supplying the charged electric power by means of discharge; and a power storage unit controller (3) for controlling the discharging of the power storage unit (2). The power storage unit controller (3) sets a discharge period during which the power storage unit (2) can be discharged. Furthermore, during the discharge period, the power storage unit controller (3) determines the electric energy to be supplied by means of the discharging of the power storage unit (2) during the remaining discharge period on the basis of the remaining discharge period and the electric energy that can be discharged by the power storage unit (2).

  • Patent number: 9685824
    Abstract: Power supply stand output to the portable device is adjusted according to the power adjustment signals. Maximum power supply stand output is limited to a power output threshold value. The portable device compares the power received from the power supply stand to the required power. When the received power is lower than the required power, the portable device sends a power adjustment signal to the power supply stand, which is an increase-power-request signal. When the received power is greater than the required power, the portable device sends a decrease-power-request signal to the power supply stand. The power supply stand adjusts output and limits it to the power output threshold value. When continuous output of increase-power-request signals from the portable device is detected over a preset time period, a foreign object is determined to be on the power supply stand.

  • Patent number: 9222984
    Abstract: [Objective] To provide a power supplying system wherein the timing at which a storage unit conducts capacity learning is made to be more suitable. [Solution] A power supplying system supplies power to loads provided within a facility, and is provided with: a power storage unit that stores power by being charged, and supplies power by being discharged; and a capacity measurement unit that measures the remaining capacity of the power storage unit by executing a complete charging and a complete discharging of the power storage unit, in sequence. The capacity measurement unit obtains the operation schedule of the facility, and determines the timing at which the complete charging and the complete discharging of the power storage unit are to be conducted, on the basis of the operation schedule.

    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a power supply system which effectively utilizes a power storage unit and also limits degradation of the power storage unit. [Solution] A power supply system (1) is provided with: a power storage unit (2) for charging supplied electric power and supplying the charged electric power by means of discharge; and a power storage unit controller (3) for controlling the discharging of the power storage unit (2). The power storage unit controller (3) sets a discharge period during which the power storage unit (2) can be discharged. Furthermore, during the discharge period, the power storage unit controller (3) determines the electric energy to be supplied by means of the discharging of the power storage unit (2) during the remaining discharge period on the basis of the remaining discharge period and the electric energy that can be discharged by the power storage unit (2).

  • Publication number: 20100288627
    Abstract: An atomizing apparatus (10) includes a housing (12), and a tank (40) accumulates tap water inside the housing. By electrolyzing the tap water by the electrolysis electrodes (120p, 120m), the water in the tank becomes electrolyzed water. At the first operation after a shortage of water state in the tank is detected, an initial electrolysis operating time is set to 20 minutes (step S210). In a case of not an operation after the shortage of water state but a restart of a normal operation, the initial electrolysis operating time is set to 5 minutes (step S224).
