[Object] To provide a control apparatus capable of optimum power interchange in the whole of a community including a plurality of customers. [Solution] There is provided a control apparatus including: an acquisition section configured to acquire information regarding consumption of power from a plurality of nodes that store and consume power; and a control section configured to use the information regarding consumption of power to generate data regarding target power storage in each of the nodes, the data being provided to the node.

Control apparatus, control method, and power storage control apparatus

A power control apparatus capable of stable transition of a set voltage is provided. A power control apparatus includes a DC to DC converter connected to a DC bus line, a communication unit that communicates with another power control apparatus, and a control unit that controls power interchange with the other power control apparatus through the DC bus line, in which the control unit controls at least a control mode and a droop rate, the control mode includes a first mode for controlling a voltage of the DC bus line, a second mode for controlling a current flowing through the DC bus line, and a third mode for stopping the power interchange, and when the control mode is shifted from the first mode to the second mode or the third mode, the control unit controls the droop rate to be set to a predetermined value other than 0%.

Power control apparatus and power control method

In one embodiment, there is provided a power interchange system for distributing direct current (DC) electrical power. The power interchange system comprises a plurality of nodes comprising a first node and a second node. The first node comprises a first communication device and a first power source to power the first communication device. The second node comprises a second communication device and a second power source to power the second communication device. The power interchange system further comprises a wired cable connecting the first node and the second node. The wired cable comprises at least one first wire to convey DC power from the first power source of the first node to the second node to power the second communication device or from the second power source of the second node to the first node to power the first communication device.

Power supply device, method of supplying power, and power supply system

According to the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing apparatus, including a first housing, a second housing, having a display section which displays information, in which the display section is reversed between a first position and a second position, a connection section which rotatably connects the second housing with respect to the first housing, a posture detection section which detects any of the four postures of a first posture, a second posture, a third posture, and a fourth posture, and a display control section which controls a display state of the display section in accordance with a detection result of the posture detection section.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method that transitions between multiple postures for controlling a display state

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a power supply control portion that performs control of a power supply; a detection signal emitting portion that, when a connection of an external power source is detected in an operation stand-by state in which power consumption is suppressed and an operation is on stand-by, emits a detection signal only for a certain time period, in accordance with the detection; and a power supply portion that supplies power to the power supply control portion based on the detection signal emitted by the detection signal emitting portion and also stops the power supply to the power supply control portion after a certain time period elapses from the connection in the operation stand-by state.

Information processing apparatus and power supply control circuit

A battery pack includes: an obtaining unit for obtaining computation information for calculating a charge current including temperature information of a battery; a computation unit for computing a charge current for the battery based on the computation information; and a notification unit for notifying a computer of the charge current computed by the computation unit.
