Abstract:
In some embodiments, a system may include at least one voltage controller. At least one of the voltage controllers may assess, during use, an occurrence of a predetermined condition. In some embodiments, the system may include an at least first capacitor. The at least first capacitor may be coupled to at least one of the voltage controllers such that at least one of the voltage controllers engages the at least first capacitor to supply additional current when the predetermined condition occurs. When the increase in current is no longer required the at least first capacitor may be disengaged. The at least first capacitor may be charged when disengaged until a predetermined capacity.

Abstract:
A DC power system capable of serving all electrical end-use applications such as maintains normal lighting conditions by lighting fixtures requiring DC electrical power as well as other DC compatible loads. A power control and conversion device receives AC electrical power from a public utility or similar AC source and converts AC power to DC power and delivers low voltage DC electrical power to lighting fixtures or any DC compatible end-use. An alternative DC power source or sources may be connected to the device and within the device combined with the converted source in service to the load. A standby rechargeable battery serves as an alternative DC source and may be provided to maintain power during line power outages. Optionally, an alternative DC power source such as a photovoltaic DC electrical power source may be connected to the power control device, to provide DC electrical power proportionally to the DC loads. In a further embodiment, a variety of power sources may be connected to the power device such as a gas driven cogenerator unit to supply DC electrical power. This device may also serve in a stand alone application without AC line grid supplies.

A wireless inductive charging system having a DC power source (10) and a DC/AC inverter (12) being fed by the DC power source (10) and generating an AC charging signal. A primary coil (L p ) is fed by the AC charging signal and transmits a wireless charging signal to a secondary coil (L s ) of a device to be charged (20). A space harmonic elimination stage (19) is provided which is configured to eliminate harmonics from the AC charging signal generated by the DC/AC inverter (12) before feeding the primary coil (L p ). The DC/AC inverter (12) and the space harmonic elimination stage (19) are located within an EM shielded structure (11).
Abstract:
In many power electronics systems, there is an intermediate DC-link stage for facilitating the power processing of different sources to their loads. A device called a plug-and-play ripple pacifier (RP) directly plugged into the DC-link, and actively removes undesired DC-link ripple, thereby eliminating the reliance on electrolytes capacitors for stabilizing the system and remove ripple. Importantly, the use of this device is non-invasive to the operation of its host systems, and requires no modification of existing hardware. It is suitable for the protection of DC utilities/systems and can also be used as a direct replacement of ripple-canceling E-Caps in power converters device.
