  • Patent number: 9395741
    Abstract: Electric-power management system, an area controller transmits, to each of section controllers, information about a target voltage and information about the present voltage, each of the section controllers calculating a difference between the target voltage and the present voltage, received from the area controller, and calculating a power's demand-supply-adjustment request amount based on difference between the information about the voltages, each of facility-equipment controllers transmitting power-reception/power-release capable equipment information to each section controller, being information about a power-reception/power-release capable equipment in a facility into which the facility-equipment controller is installed, the section controller, based on the power-reception/power-release capable equipment information about the equipment, transmitting the equipment's demand-supply-adjustment request amount and the facility-equipment controller transmitting a control signal to the equipment based on the equi

  • Publication number: 20120068660
    Abstract: A battery-used power grid operation method for handling a home-use secondary battery as a virtual battery of medium- to large-scale and for lessening a necessary cell capacity to thereby enable efficient absorption of an output variation of renewable energy-derived electric power is provided. In a power system including electrical household appliances in a house having a renewable power generator, an individual house-installed rechargeable battery or separately central-managed battery, and a control device which measures and controls an output variation of the renewable power generator, those output variations of the renewable power generator occurring with time and due to changes of weather and seasons are absorbed as much as possible by preset-temperature control of the electric household appliances in the house while absorbing the remaining variations by charge/discharge of the battery, thereby lessening an electricity storage capacity required for the variation absorption.

  • Patent number: 4953096
    Abstract: In a distributed system having a plurality of processors connected to a common transmission line, each processor comprises means for registering erroneous programs within the processor, and means for changing modes, so that a program is diagnosed on the basis of a processed result of data accepted from the transmission line and is registered in the erroneous program registration means if it is erroneous, and that the mode change means changes-over the test mode and the on-line mode by reference to the erroneous program registration means and in correspondence with the programs registered in or canceled from the registration means.

  • Patent number: 4837762
    Abstract: In a system which includes of subsystems, and a transmission medium for coupling them, and in which a token is sent to the transmission medium, whereby the transmission medium is occupied; a transmission control method characterized, at least, in that each of the certain subsystems appends a code indicative of a function of certain data to the token and sends the resulting data to the medium, and that the subsystem receiving the data refers to the code indicative of the function of the data, thereby to independently judge whether or not the data is to be accepted into the own subsystem.
