  • Patent number: 11946485
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure provide an air intake bypass recirculation structure with adjustable air entraining amount and controllable broadband noise which includes main body of the air intake bypass recirculation structure and an air entraining amount adjusting structure. In some examples, an air intake bypass recirculation cavity is formed in the main body of the air intake bypass recirculation structure. An air inlet of an air intake pipe and an air outlet of the air intake pipe are formed in two ends of the main body of the air intake bypass recirculation structure respectively. An airflow inlet of the air intake bypass recirculation structure and an airflow outlet of the air intake bypass recirculation structure are formed in the inner side of the main body of the air intake bypass recirculation structure. The air entraining amount adjusting structure is arranged in the air intake bypass recirculation cavity.

  • Patent number: 11228180
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide for hierarchically distributed voltage regulation and power flow optimization in a power distribution network. According to one embodiment, a regional coordinator system may determine power flow for an autonomous grid (AG) representing a portion of the distribution network based on a set of voltage parameters from nodes in the AG. The set of voltage parameters my include a current voltage magnitude. The regional coordinator system may provide, to a central controller system of the distribution network, one or more power flow parameters based on the determined power flow for the AG.

  • Patent number: 10673232
    Abstract: Node controllers in power distribution networks in accordance with embodiments of the invention enable dynamic frequency control. One embodiment includes a node controller comprising a network interface a processor; and a memory containing a frequency control application; and a plurality of node operating parameters describing the operating parameters of a node, where the node is selected from a group consisting of at least one generator node in a power distribution network wherein the processor is configured by the frequency control application to calculate a plurality of updated node operating parameters using a distributed process to determine the updated node operating parameter using the node operating parameters, where the distributed process controls network frequency in the power distribution network; and adjust the node operating parameters.
