Abstract: A control method applied to a power supply system. The power supply system comprises at least one first power unit and a second power unit, and the at least one first power unit is configured to provide power to an electrical load according to a power provided by a power source. The control method comprises: detecting a load status of the power supply system; when the load status is determined to be a peak load, generating a trigger signal; and in response to the trigger signal, disabling a first-stage converter in the second power unit, and controlling an energy storage capacitor in the second power unit to provide power to the electrical load, wherein the energy storage capacitor is coupled between the first-stage converter and a second-stage converter in the second power unit.

Abstract: An energy storage system converts variable renewable electricity (VRE) to continuous heat at over 1000° C. Intermittent electrical energy heats a solid medium. Heat from the solid medium is delivered continuously on demand. An array of bricks incorporating internal radiation cavities is directly heated by thermal radiation. The cavities facilitate rapid, uniform heating via reradiation. Heat delivery via flowing gas establishes a thermocline which maintains high outlet temperature throughout discharge. Gas flows through structured pathways within the array, delivering heat which may be used for processes including calcination, hydrogen electrolysis, steam generation, and thermal power generation and cogeneration. Groups of thermal storage arrays may be controlled and operated at high temperatures without thermal runaway via deep-discharge sequencing. Forecast-based control enables continuous, year-round heat supply using current and advance information of weather and VRE availability. High-voltage DC power conversion and distribution circuitry improves the efficiency of VRE power transfer into the system.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus obtains, from a battery, information about remaining power in the battery; detects a connection with a power supply apparatus, performs control to supply power from the power supply apparatus instead of from the battery, in a case where the connection with the power supply apparatus is detected; and displays a warning related to the remaining power in the battery when the remaining power in the battery is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, in a case where the electronic apparatus operates using the power from the battery. In a case where the connection with the power supply apparatus is detected, the electronic apparatus displays the warning related to the remaining power in the battery when the remaining power in the battery is less than or equal to a second threshold.
