  • Patent number: 11646141
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a valve portion and a solenoid portion. The valve portion has a sleeve and a valve body. The solenoid portion includes a tubular coil portion, a magnetic yoke having a side surface portion and a bottom portion, a columnar plunger, a shaft, a stator core having a core shaft hole for sliding the plunger in the axial direction, and a base portion having a base shaft hole. In a radial thickness of the sleeve, a thickness of a part corresponding to an end outer peripheral surface is smaller than a thickness of a sliding portion of an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve, which is a portion on which the valve body slides.

  • Publication number: 20230011647
    Abstract: A solenoid valve has a valve portion and a solenoid portion. The valve portion includes a sleeve and a spool. The solenoid portion includes a yoke, a plunger, a stator core, and a base portion. The base portion includes a first inner diameter portion, a second inner diameter portion, and a connection surface that connects the first inner diameter portion and the second inner diameter portion to each other in a radial direction. The first inner diameter portion is fastened to a first outer peripheral surface of the sleeve. The second inner diameter portion is arranged radially outside a second outer peripheral surface of a magnetic attraction core. The base portion is in contact with the yoke. The connection surface and a sleeve end surface of the sleeve adjacent to the solenoid portion in the axial direction are spaced from each other in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20220128166
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a valve portion and a solenoid portion. The valve portion has a sleeve and a valve body inserted into the sleeve. The solenoid portion includes a stator core having a magnetic attraction core, a sliding core, a magnetic flux passage suppressing portion that suppresses the passage of magnetic flux between the sliding core and the magnetic attraction core, a magnetic yoke, a coil portion, a plunger, and a magnetic tubular base portion. The base portion is fastened to a first outer peripheral surface of an end on the solenoid portion side in the axial direction of the sleeve, is arranged outside a radial direction of a second outer peripheral surface of the end on the valve portion side in the axial direction of the magnetic attraction core, and comes into contact with the yoke inside the yoke.

  • Patent number: 10404073
    Abstract: A power generation facility operation device includes an opportunity loss calculator for calculating a power generation opportunity loss value, (a loss value resulting from losing the power generation opportunity when output of the power generated from a power generation facility is reduced according to a request for provision of reserve power desired by an electric power provider), a reserve power incentive calculator for calculating a reserve power incentive value, (a value equivalent to an incentive obtained by the electric power producer from the electric power provider by output control being performed in the power generation facility and the reserve power being supplied to the electric power provider, and a reserve power plan calculator for calculating a plan of the reserve power that the power generation facility is to secure in order to keep the power generation opportunity loss value below the reserve power incentive value.

  • Publication number: 20180364694
    Abstract: Analysis of a natural energy power source linked to many locations requires an extremely large amount of computation time, so the calculation time is shortened by means of a reduction. However, the determination as to whether each natural energy power source can be reduced is not made in accordance with grid accident conditions, so the analytical precision of a grid reduction model is low.

  • Patent number: 8970058
    Abstract: For reducing a storage capacity of a storage battery system and an installation cost at a constant-output control type of wind power plant, a wind power generation control device sets as a planned generation power value PT: an average wind generated power value PA, when a current battery charging rate SOC of the storage battery system is within the range of the upper and lower limit values of the targeted battery charging rate range SOCT (S12); a value obtained by multiplying a positive constant greater than 1 to the said PA, when the current battery charging rate SOC is above the upper limit value of the said SOCT (S14): and a value obtained by multiplying a positive constant less than 1 to the said PA, when the current battery charging rate SOC is below the lower limit value of the said SOCT (S15).
