Power feed control system and power feed control method
A power feed control system includes: a first drive unit configured to include a first electrically driven device, a first inverter, a first fuel battery system, and a first voltage converter; a second drive unit configured to include a second electrically driven device, a second inverter, a second fuel battery system, and a second voltage converter; a common battery; and a control unit configured to perform control of the first inverter or/and the first voltage converter such that each current value of the first inverter and the first fuel battery system achieves a target value of a first current value that is determined on the basis of the first current value flowing between the first drive unit and the battery and a second current value flowing between the second drive unit and the battery and perform control of the second inverter or/and the second voltage converter such that each current value of the second inverter and the second fuel battery system achieves a target value of the second current value that is determined on the basis of the first current value flowing between the first drive unit and the battery and the second current value flowing between the second drive unit and the battery.
Vehicle
An FCV includes: a driving device that generates traveling power by using at least one of electric power output from an FC system and electric power output from a battery; and a display device that presents a first indicator and a second indicator, the first indicator indicating a remaining amount of electric power to be output from the FC system, the second indicator indicating a remaining amount of electric power to be output from the battery. An amount of electric power that can be output from the FC system when the hydrogen tank is full is larger than an amount of electric power that can be output from the battery when the battery is fully charged. A presentation area of the first indicator is larger than a presentation area of the second indicator.

FLYING OBJECT
To provide a flying object capable of suppressing ignition of a secondary battery due to overcharging. A flying object includes a fuel cell, a secondary battery, a motor, an air resistance increasing device capable of increasing the air resistance, and a control unit. The motor drives a propulsion propeller. The fuel cell, the secondary battery, and the motor are electrically connected. The motor is driven by obtaining power from at least one of the fuel cell and the secondary battery. When the fuel cell generates an amount of power exceeding a power consumption amount, the control unit increases an amount of power supplied to the motor from the fuel cell while increasing the air resistance by operating the air resistance increasing device, and performs a power consumption control to maintain a flight state.

CAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL VEHICLE
The present application discloses a car power supply system and a solid oxide fuel cell vehicle. The car power supply system specifically comprises a first battery, a vehicle control unit (VCU), a lithium battery management system, a solid oxide fuel cell control unit, a second battery, a first relay and a second relay. If a solid oxide fuel cell controlled by the solid oxide fuel cell control unit provided by the present application cannot stop working within a short time, the first relay restores the first battery to power the VCU and the lithium battery management system after a start switch stops power supply by the first battery, so that the solid oxide fuel cell control unit is powered by the second battery to make the cell work normally and realize power off, thereby preventing the problem that the solid oxide fuel cell cannot work due to rapid power failure of the vehicle.
