There are provided a sodium-sulfur battery system suitable for shifting the peak of an electric power line, and a method of operating the sodium-sulfur battery system and an electric power line system using the sodium-sulfur battery system. In a sodium-sulfur battery system comprising a battery module having a sodium-sulfur battery contained in a thermal insulation container, an amount of peak-shift of an electric power line, which can be performed by the battery module, is calculated using a daily load characteristic of the electric power line and a discharge characteristic of the battery module, and an allowable amount of heat generation in battery and an allowable amount of discharge, and discharge of the battery module is controlled using the calculated result. The peak-shift of an electric power line can be effectively performed without deteriorating the reliability of the sodium-sulfur battery, and the efficiencies of the sodium-sulfur battery system and an electric power line system using the sodium-sulfur battery system can be kept high.

A recess is formed in one of the principal surfaces of an N-type substrate of GaAs. Through the liquid phase growth technique, a silicon-doped N-type GaAs layer is formed on the one of the principal surfaces and on the surface of the recess and a silicon-doped P-type GaAs layer is continuously formed on the N-type GaAs layer. The liquid-phase-grown GaAs layers are so cut that the PN junction between the layers may be exposed on a plane.

An electric power system effective for load leveling includes an electric power meter which measures the power that is charged from a generating facility into an electric power storing secondary battery via ac/dc converters, and also measures the discharged power that is supplied from the electric power storing secondary battery to a load via the ac/dc converters. A processing unit is provided which calculates a difference of an electric power fee from the quantity of charged power and quantity of discharged power measured by the electric power meter and respective unit prices of electric power, and then calculates the price for using the electric power storing secondary battery based on the electric power fee. The processing unit may be installed either on a manufacturer/lender's side or on an electric power consumer's side.
