    摘要: In order to extract maximum power from a solar cell, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is performed under ordinary circumstances. If the output current of the solar cell becomes too small, the operating point of the solar cell is caused to fluctuate over a range wider than that of MPPT control at a period longer than that of MPPT control and the output voltage and current of the solar cell is sampled. In a case where it is indicated by power values obtained from the sample voltage values and current values that a plurality of maximal points of power value exist, a voltage value corresponding to a power value indicative of the largest value is set as the operating point of the solar cell.

    摘要: A thermistor element with positive temperature characteristic (PTC) has a planar ceramic member with a positive temperature characteristic of which the thickness is greater at its peripheral part than at the center part, decreasing either gradually or in a stepwise manner. Protrusions may be formed along its periphery. A PTC thermistor is formed with electrodes formed on both main surfaces of such a PTC thermistor, each electrode having a lower-layer electrode all over a main surface and an upper-layer electrode on the lower-layer electrode. The upper-layer electrode has a smaller surface area than the lower-layer electrode such that a portion of the lower-surface electrode is exposed at the periphery. The upper-layer electrodes may be formed at the center parts of the main surfaces, exclusive of the peripheral parts or where the protrusions are formed. The lower-layer electrodes may be mostly of Ni and the upper-layer electrodes mainly of Ag.
