A magnetic bearing controller for controlling a magnetic levitation motor, the magnetic levitation motor including: a rotor; a pair of electromagnets that causes the rotor to levitate by electromagnetic force; an auxiliary bearing that supports a rotating shaft of the rotor when the rotor is stopped; and a rotor position detector that detects the rotor's position in a levitation direction. The magnetic bearing controller includes an operation current generator that generates an operation current value corresponding to a deviation between a position command value and the rotor's position detected by the rotor position detector. The operation current generator is configured to give a predetermined initial value greater than 0 to the operation current value at a start of levitation for causing the rotor in a state where the rotating shaft of the rotor is supported by the auxiliary bearing to levitate and be positioned at a predetermined target position.

Magnetic bearing controller and magnetic bearing control method

A power system of a ship includes a first power storage device, a second power storage device, and a control system. The first power storage device has an energy density higher than that of the second power storage device. The second power storage device has a power density higher than that of the first power storage device. The control system is configured to: as a power generator application, prioritize discharging the first power storage device over discharging the second power storage device, such that base power is continuously supplied to an onboard electrical load connected to an onboard bus; and as a grid stabilization application, prioritize charging/discharging the second power storage device over charging/discharging the first power storage device to compensate for frequency variation or voltage variation of an onboard power grid.

Power system of ship

A contactless power supply system contactlessly supplies electric power from a power transmitting device to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a power receiving unit contactlessly receiving electric power from the power transmitting device, an electrical storage device storing electric power received by the power receiving unit, and a vehicle ECU. The power transmitting device includes a power supply unit, a power transmitting unit contactlessly supplying electric power, supplied from the power supply unit, to the power receiving unit and a matching transformer used to adjust an impedance between the power supply unit and the power transmitting unit. The vehicle ECU is able to output, to the power transmitting device, a command to adjust the matching transformer, and sets an impedance of the matching transformer on the basis of a power transfer efficiency between the power transmitting unit and the power receiving unit while the electrical storage device is being charged.
