Patent number: 8704493Abstract: This invention offers an battery system that reduces a conversion loss due to a charger to reduce power consumption. The battery system has a solar battery, a battery module, a bypass route to bypass a charger to charge the battery module with DC power generated by the solar battery, and a control unit to control so that the electric power generated by the solar battery is supplied to the battery module through the bypass route when an output voltage of the solar battery is equal to or higher than a first predetermined voltage, that is higher than a terminal voltage of the battery module, and equal to or lower than a second predetermined voltage.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Uehashi, Mamoru Kubo, Koichi Saruhashi, Hajime Shimayama

Patent number: 8541982Abstract: A battery system including an assembled battery, a charge mode for charging the assembled battery and a discharge mode for converting electric energy charged in the assembled battery to AC power having the same or substantially the same frequency as a grid and supplying the AC power to a power supply line through which the grid and a load are connected further including a current detector for detecting current supplied to the load, and a control device for calculating an average power usage of past several days based on current being detected by the current detector, and converting the amount of electric power corresponding to the difference between the average power usage and a power usage based on the current value from the current detector to the AC power from the assembled battery to the load in the discharge mode to supply the AC power to the power supply line.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hajime Shimayama, Koichi Saruhashi

Publication number: 20110204853Abstract: A power storage system controls a charging mode in which an assembled battery including a plurality of battery modules is charged. The assembled battery is charged through a constant current control based on a predetermined current value in the beginning of the charging mode and is charged through a constant voltage in the end of the charging mode. A determination part determines whether an apparatus electrically connected to an electric power line which the power storage system is electrically connected is in active. A controlling part constantly controls the current value for charging the assembled battery in the charging mode. In a case where the determination part determines that the apparatus is not in active, the controlling part sets the constant current value to a first current value at the beginning of a time period in which the charging mode is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hajime Shimayama, Daisuke Hataya

Patent number: 5657640Abstract: An air conditioner for exchanging heat from a refrigerant to the outside and adjusting at least one of room temperature and humidity to desired temperature and humidity and having a 1/f fluctuation function for controlling an air supplying means for supplying conditioned air to the room so as to vary the air supplying amount in multiple levels corresponding to a designated reference air amount and irregularly. A reference air amount of the air supplying means can be designated and there is an air amount control for controlling the air supplying means corresponding to the designated reference air amount, and a fluctuation width designates a fluctuation width (volume of the air amount) corresponding to the air amount designated. When the 1/f fluctuation function is employed, the fundamental functions (coolness, warmness, and so forth) of the air conditioner are improved. In addition, the noise of the air conditioner is reduced and the comfort of the user is improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1995Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hajime Takada, Hajime Shimayama, Minoru Katou
