Abstract:
A coordinated control method for a distribution network with DER and EV and coordinated control system thereof includes acquiring information from at least one DER controller, at least one EV controller and/or at least one load controller; calculating P/Q references and/or circuit breaker control commands for the DER, the EV and the load based on active/reactive power balance, voltage and/or frequency requirement; allocating the references and/or the control commands to the DER, the EV and the load based on their locations and available capacity; and outputting the allocated references and/or control commands to the DER, the EV and the load. The solutions minimize negative impacts from DER and EVs and maintain a controllable voltage and frequency stabilization.
Abstract:
A method and computer program product are provided for selecting switching cells for voltage contribution in a phase arm of a multilevel converter, a cell selecting control device for a multilevel converter and a multilevel converter. The cell selecting control device and multilevel converter includes a balancing control element that obtains a reference voltage for the phase arm, obtains a measurement of the current running through the phase arm and selects cells for contributing to an AC voltage output from the multilevel converter based on the reference voltage and the magnitude of the phase arm current.
Abstract:
A control system may include a plurality of terminal boards. Each of the plurality of terminal boards may at least include a power pin. The definition of the power pin on at least one of the plurality of terminal boards may be different from the definition of the power pin on another one of the plurality of terminal boards. Thus, if the at least one of the plurality of terminal boards is connected to a wrong input/output module, the input/output module will not get a process power supplied via the power pin on the terminal board. Therefore, a wrong input/output signal will not be transferred, and the input/output module will not be damaged even if a higher process voltage is provided by a wrong terminal board.
Abstract:
A hybrid transformer core includes a first yoke of amorphous steel and a second yoke of amorphous steel. The hybrid transformer core further includes at least two limbs of grain-oriented steel extending between the first yoke and the second yoke. The first end of each one of the at least two limbs is coupled to a first surface of the first yoke in a first connection plane and wherein a second end of each one of the at least two limbs is coupled to a second surface of the second yoke in a second connection plane. The first surface in all directions along the first connection plane extends beyond the first end of each one of the at least two limbs. The second surface in all directions along the second connection plane extends beyond the second end of each one of the at least two limbs.
Abstract:
A device for indicating the state of an electrical switching apparatus includes a movable contact arranged movable between a first and a second position. The device includes at least one protruding contact element arranged on the movable contact, at least one contact pin arranged in the close vicinity to the movable contact such that said contact element abuts the contact pin when the movable contact is in the first position and said contact element is at a distance from the contact pin when the movable contact is in the second position. The contact element and the contact pin form an electrical switch and a detector arrangement configured to detect when said electrical switch is closed and by that detect when the movable contact is in the first position.
Abstract:
An exemplary method for engineering a Distributed Control System (DCS) having at least one Input/Output device and at least one controller that are communicatively connected. A user is prompted to request an application type and select a variant from one or more variant options, at least one device is identified from a plurality of devices available in the DCS, selecting at least one function block including function fragments from a library based on the user input, instances of function fragments are created and at least one instance of function fragments is arranged based on the at least one identified device from the plurality of devices and configuring the at least one identified device based on the created instances of function fragments. The selected solution variant option is determined from the arranged function fragments and changes are made dynamically to satisfy one or more identified DCS conditions.

A design of a protection relay, and interface with an operator of a protection relay, are disclosed. The protection relay can include a base relay for measurement of line current and for generation of a trip signal, a base Human Machine Interface (HMI) for user specifying of a base setting of an operating parameter of the protection relay, and an optionally active Human Machine Interface (HMI) unit having a processing unit to manage plural activities with controlled power consumption.
Abstract:
Stripping structure strips insulation from ends of a plurality of leads of a lead bundle. Each lead includes a conductor member coated with the insulation. The structure includes a housing having wall structure defining a stripping chamber, an inlet in fluid communication with the stripping chamber, and an outlet in fluid communication with the stripping chamber. A cover has an opening for receiving an end of the lead bundle in a sealing manner so that the leads thereof are received in the stripping chamber. Chemical stripping solution is in communication with the inlet. When the lead bundle is received through the opening with the leads in the stripping chamber and when the chemical stripping solution is provided though inlet and in the stripping chamber, the chemical stripping solution strips the insulation from the conductor members, with the stripping solution along with stripped insulation exiting through the outlet.
Abstract:
Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses for a ZVT ZCT resonant converter with a variable resonant tank are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a bidirectional resonant converter comprising an input/output terminal, a switching device coupled with the input/output terminal, a resonant circuit coupled with the switching device and including a variable inductor, an output/input terminal coupled with the resonant circuit, and a DC biasing circuit operatively coupled with the variable inductor. The variable inductor comprises a toroidal core, a first winding wound around the toroidal core and coupled with the switching device and the output/input terminal, a second core structured to overlap a portion of the toroidal core, and a second winding wound around the second core and coupled with the DC biasing circuit. The DC biasing circuit is controllable to vary the inductance of the variable inductor by saturating a portion of the toroidal core.
