Title: Hirofumi Nakata: Innovator in Power Source Management
Introduction
Hirofumi Nakata is a notable inventor based in Nara, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of power source management, holding a total of 9 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and reliability of dispersed power sources in commercial power systems.
Latest Patents
One of Nakata's latest patents is an output suppressing method for a plurality of dispersed power sources and a dispersed power source managing system. This invention addresses the output suppression control of multiple dispersed power sources linked to a high-voltage-to-low-voltage transformer. The method eliminates the partiality of output suppression among these power sources, preventing cost increases. When the voltage at a power receiving point exceeds the upper limit, the power conditioner suppresses the output to store surplus power in a storage battery. It then transmits an output suppression start signal to a management unit, which sends a command signal to other power sources to suppress their outputs and store surplus power. This coordinated approach allows for a more efficient use of storage batteries.
