  • Patent number: 9496763
    Abstract: A driving unit includes a stator, a housing including a tubular section to accommodate the stator, a cover coupled to the housing to block an upper opening of the tubular section, and a bent wire rod defined by a wire to press the stator against the tubular section, the bent wire rod being arranged between a top surface of the stator and a rear surface of the cover while being compressingly deformed along an axis of the stator. The bent wire rod has an annular or substantially annular shape with an opened portion when seen along the axis, and includes projections projecting upward along the axis and depressions projecting downward along the axis being arranged alternately and successively. An elastic force from the bent wire rod causes the stator to receive a downward force along the axis. The stator is pressed against the tubular section to hold the stator in the housing.

  • Publication number: 20160218543
    Abstract: The electric power loss at the time of charging/discharging storage batteries is reduced. An electric power system control device maintains a balance of power supply and demand of an electric power system by controlling charging/discharging of a storage battery, and includes a frequency detection unit; a frequency prediction unit which predicts the frequency from the frequency calculated by the frequency detection unit and history data of power generation/load supply-demand data. A charging/discharging amount determination unit sets a charging/discharging amount corresponding to a value lower or higher than the frequency of the electric power system predicted by the frequency prediction unit within a range not exceeding a lower or higher limit value of the frequency and determines the charging/discharging amount of the storage battery based on the value. And, a control command unit transmits a control command to the storage battery based on a result of the charging/discharging amount determination unit.
