  • Patent number: 10209313
    Abstract: An accumulator and state of charge evaluation method for preparing, during charging and discharging, models for each of deterioration degrees, each representing a relationship between terminal voltage, current and state of charge, for selecting respective models for the times during charging and discharging in accordance with a total charging/discharging amount (Ah), a deterioration degree or an elapsed time of an operation of the accumulator, for further estimating state of charge from current accumulation, and for determining a final state of charge from estimated states of charge including a present state of charge estimated from the models for the times during charging and discharging of the accumulator, while using a time or a total charging/discharging amount (Ah) from a time of full-charging by equal charging of the accumulator up to present time to determine the final state of charge from the plurality of states of charge.

  • Patent number: 9124135
    Abstract: While a control method is established which can maximize the lifetime of an storage battery based on a SOC capable of maximizing the lifetime of the storage battery under a temperature condition and a wind condition at an electricity generation site and on currently known ones of other operational conditions, a control system is constructed which can feedback to an actual wind power generation and storage battery system.

  • Patent number: 8866443
    Abstract: The life of a lead acid storage battery is extended by changing an over-frequency equalized charge interval performed on a lead acid storage battery, in accordance with a transition situation of a state of charge (SOC) of the lead acid storage battery. The lead acid storage battery is also made to be advantageous in terms of cost by reducing the equalized charge with a low degree of urgency to reduce the power and cost for equalized charge, and by reducing the number of stops of a natural energy storage system. A lead acid storage battery and a lead acid storage battery system whose operational management can be easily performed are achieved by a method in which the future timing when the equalized charge is performed can be grasped by people operating the lead acid storage battery.

  • Publication number: 20120038312
    Abstract: The life of a lead acid storage batttery is extended by changing an over-frequency equalized charge interval performed on a lead acid storage batttery, in accordance with a transition situation of a state of charge (SOC) of the lead acid storage batttery. The lead acid storage batttery is also made to be advantageous in terms of cost by reducing the equalized charge with a low degree of urgency to reduce the power and cost for equalized charge, and by reducing the number of stops of a natural energy storage system. A lead acid storage batttery and a lead acid storage batttery system whose operational management can be easily performed are achieved by a method in which the future timing when the equalized charge is performed can be grasped by people operating the lead acid storage batttery.

  • Publication number: 20110196633
    Abstract: There are implemented a method which allows a present state of charge to be precisely estimated not only for a new battery, but also for a lead accumulator that has deteriorated with the lapse of a certain period since first use thereof, and a lead accumulator which can be increased in lifetime and reduced in cost using information on the precisely determined state of charge.
