Abstract

A cooling device according to the present invention comprises: a heatsink in which a plurality of fins are installed upright on a base plate and a flow path is formed between the fins; a fan that causes a main air stream to flow into the flow path; and a plasma actuator that discharges electricity between electrodes separated by a plate-shaped dielectric body and generates an induced flow. The plasma actuator is such that the main face of the dielectric body and the main faces of the fins are disposed upstream of the heatsink in the flow direction of the main air stream so as to be parallel to each other, and the flow direction of the induced flow is set to be the same as the flow direction of the main air stream; and therefore it is possible to provide a cooling device which is inexpensive due to machining of a heatsink not being necessary, and which can improve cooling efficiency by the thinning a boundary layer near the fins.

Abstract

This charge/discharge control method is for a charge/discharge element (EV1, EV2) and is conducted in every control cycle (ts) from a start time point (t0). The method involves measuring a power consumption amount obtained by integrating the power consumption of the whole group including one or more of the charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2) from the start time point (t0) to a control time point (t1, t2,...) at which one or more of the control cycles (ts) have elapsed. A target power amount (Ptarget) is obtained by integrating a target power that is predetermined for the whole group, from the start time point (t0) to the control time point. The method involves: determining a command value (Pev(t)) on the basis of an average power amount obtained by dividing, by the control cycle (ts), a differential power amount (ΔE(t)) obtained by subtracting the power consumption amount from the target power amount; and broadcasting the same to the one or more charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2). Each of the one or more charge/discharge elements that has received the command value (Pev(t)) autonomously controls own charge/discharge power on the basis of the command value (Pev(t)).

First data indicating inter-area operations of electric vehicles 30 located in areas A-D corresponding respectively to the plurality of microgrids 20A to 20D is used to identify a second area from which the largest number of electric vehicles 30 move to a first area corresponding to a first microgrid for which the predicted supply-demand gap is smaller than a threshold value. The electric vehicles 30 located in the second area are each encouraged to move to the first area and discharge the secondary battery thereof.

Abstract

In a power system that supplies electric energy to a load group including at least a first power reception element and a second power reception element via a power supply base, the power reception control method and the power reception control device of the present invention control first element reception power that is the power received by the first power reception element. All element signals are obtained that indicate a difference power obtained by subtracting the present value of the total transmission power from the maximum value of the total transmission power to be transmitted to the whole of the load group via the power supply base. When changing second element reception power received by the second power reception element, another element signal corresponding to the second element reception power after being changed is obtained and the difference power is changed. The first element reception power is changed on the basis of the difference power after being changed and the priority of the first power reception element.

Abstract

[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a means which enables the achievement of excellent battery performance by suppressing a short circuit in a lithium precipitation type lithium secondary battery that uses a component containing sulfur, while being provided with a negative electrode collector that contains copper. [Solution] The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery which is provided with a power generation element that comprises: a positive electrode that is obtained by arranging a positive electrode active material layer, which contains a positive electrode active material that is capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ions, on the surface of a positive electrode collector; a negative electrode which comprises a negative electrode collector that contains copper, wherein lithium metal is precipitated on the negative electrode collector during charging; and a solid electrolyte layer which contains a solid electrolyte, while being interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. With respect to this lithium secondary battery, the positive electrode active material contains elemental sulfur, or alternatively, the solid electrolyte layer contains a sulfide solid electrolyte; an ion conductive reaction inhibition layer, which has lithium ion conductivity and inhibits a reaction between the lithium metal and the solid electrolyte, is provided on the negative electrode collector-side surface of the solid electrolyte layer; and a layer that contains copper sulfide and has a thickness of 100 nm or less is present between the ion conductive reaction inhibition layer and the negative electrode collector.

Abstract

This information processing method and information processing device involve: generating, on the basis of point cloud data, a cluster comprising ranging points, mutual distances of which are within a prescribed distance; and detecting the moving direction of ranging points included in the cluster in a period from a first timing to a second timing. A case where the height of ranging points, included in the cluster, from a road surface where a vehicle is traveling is at a prescribed height or lower at at least one of the first timing and the second timing is defined as an altitude condition, a case where the position of the ranging points, included in the cluster, projected onto the road surface is aligned along the moving direction at said at least one timing is defined as an alignment condition, and a case where a difference between a first distance to the cluster at the first timing and a second distance to the cluster at the second timing is of a prescribed value or lower is defined as a deviation condition. When main conditions comprising the altitude condition, the alignment condition, and the deviation condition are all determined to be satisfied, the cluster is identified as a curbstone on the road surface.
