Abstract: This positioning configuration design device includes a positioning configuration setting unit that excludes facilities which are likely to be able to be excluded from facilities respectively positioned at a plurality of locations and sets a positioning configuration of the facilities; a feasibility confirmation unit that judges whether predetermined conditions are feasible or not in the set positioning configuration of the facilities; an exclusion candidate list updating unit that registers, in an exclusion candidate list, information of the facilities excluded in the positioning configuration in which the conditions are feasible, a non-excludable list updating unit that registers, in a non-excludable list, information of the facilities excluded in the positioning configuration in which the conditions are not feasible; and a control unit that repeatedly executes confirmation processing including setting of the positioning configuration and judgment of feasibility of the conditions while incrementing the numb

Abstract: This charging device is provided with a charger, a resistor, a ground-side switch, and a determination device. The charger charges a secondary battery that is provided to a vehicle. The resistor is connected in parallel with the charger. The ground-side switch connects the charger and the resistor in an openable/closable manner. The determination device acquires information indicating that the ground-side switch is closed and information indicating that a vehicle-side switch that connects the secondary battery and the charger in an openable/closable manner is open and subsequently determines that the vehicle-side switch is short-circuited when a physical quantity that relates to the electricity of the resistor does not decrease.

Abstract: A charging control device includes a power reception unit, a charging instruction output unit, and a travel instruction output unit. The power reception unit receives power from a power supply device when the power reception unit is present in a power supply area where the power from the power supply device can be supplied. The charging instruction output unit outputs a charging instruction relating to charging of a secondary battery using the power received by the power reception unit. The travel instruction output unit outputs a travel instruction relating to traveling of a vehicle provided with the charging control device. The secondary battery and a travel motor are electrically insulated from each other when the charging instruction output unit outputs a charging start instruction as the charging instruction for the secondary battery, and are electrically connected to each other when the travel instruction output unit outputs a travel start instruction for the vehicle.

Abstract: A charging and discharging control device includes a pantograph point voltage detection unit configured to detect a pantograph point voltage of a vehicle, a charging and discharging control unit configured to charge a power storage device provided in a vehicle when the pantograph point voltage is greater than or equal to a charging voltage threshold value and discharge the power storage device when the pantograph point voltage is less than a discharging voltage threshold value, a load determination unit configured to determine whether an absolute value of load power for the vehicle is less than a load power threshold value, and a charging and discharging control change unit configured to reduce any one of more of the charging voltage threshold value, the discharging voltage threshold value, and charging/discharging impedance when the absolute value of the load power is less than the load power threshold value.
