A wireless power transmission system is provided which wirelessly transfer electric power from a power transmitter to a power receiver. The wireless power transmission system works to set a capacitance of a primary capacitor of a primary resonant circuit to undergo resonance with a self-inductance of a primary coil at an angular frequency that is an operating frequency. A tertiary capacitor of a tertiary resonant circuit has a capacitance set to undergo resonance with a self-inductance of a tertiary coil. A secondary capacitor of a secondary resonant circuit has a capacitance set to reduce a reactive component of ac power arising from self-inductances and mutual inductances of the primary coil, the secondary coil, and the tertiary coil.

Wireless power transmission system

A power storage device includes a storage battery that stores electric power, a battery management unit that monitors and protects the storage battery, an inverter configured to convert DC power outputted from the storage battery into AC power and outputting the AC power, and convert externally supplied AC power into DC power and supplying the DC power to the storage battery, a liquid storage container that houses therein the storage battery, the battery management unit, and the inverter in a state where surroundings of the storage battery, the battery management unit, and the inverter are filled with a liquid, a temperature adjustment unit that performs heat transfer between the liquid and outside air to adjust a temperature of the liquid to a particular target temperature, and a heat insulating material arranged to surround the liquid storage container.

Power storage device

A power supply unit includes a battery, a motor which is driven by the battery, an electric power converting device which is provided between the battery and the motor, a simulated electric leak generating device which generates an electric leak state between the battery and a vehicle body, and an electric leak detecting device which detects a simulated electric leak. A diagnostic system which performs a diagnosis of operating performance of the electric leak detecting device includes an opening/closing device which connects/disconnects the electric power converting device to/from the battery, and an opening/closing detecting device which detects opening/closing of the opening/closing device and which outputs a result of detection to the simulated electric leak generating device and the electric leak detecting device. When opening/closing of the opening/closing device is detected by the opening/closing detecting device, both generation of a simulated electric leak and detection of an electric leak are retried.
