Storing Thermal Energy and Generating Electricity

Because the efficiency of the thermal energy storage technology is inherently restricted, its beneficial use is limited to very particular economic boundary conditions, i.e. a large difference between the value of electricity going into the unit and the value of electricity coming out of the unit. With the reduction in wind power equipment prices and the cost of fossil fuels and / or their combustion products this is occasionally the case for wind power. Wind is a free fuel and the value of wind power when there is too little load demand is essentially zero, and the value of wind power when there is demand is considerable indeed. Under these circumstances, a combination of electrothermal energy storage and combustion of (fossil) fuels as an auxiliary heat source provides for a cost efficient system for storing energy and an economical way of generating electricity.

Drive support apparatus

A drive support apparatus includes: a reliability determiner determining a reliability of a map matching, an area definer defining a determination area to include a cross point between a self-vehicle predicted path and a nearby vehicle predicted path, an intersection node finder determining an intersection node in a travel direction of the self-vehicle based on a high map matching reliability, and a node determiner determining whether the intersection node is found in the determination area. When no intersection node is found in the determination area, a drive support level is suppressed, and when the reliability is low, drive support is provided depending on whether the cross point between the self-vehicle predicted path and the other vehicle predicted path is found. Thus, lack of the drive support in a support-required situation is prevented, while preventing a provision of an unnecessary drive support.
