  • Patent number: 8466573
    Abstract: A wind turbine generator system can regulate the rotational velocity of the wind turbine within an operation range even when the wind velocity suddenly changes and can perform continuous operation of the wind turbine. The wind turbine generator system includes a generator connected to the shaft of the wind turbine and a converter connected to the generator. When the rotational velocity of the wind turbine is within a predetermined range, power outputted from the generator is controlled so as to follow the instruction concerning the generator output given from the wind turbine to the converter. When the rotational velocity of the wind turbine is out of the predetermined range, the power outputted from the generator is controlled without following the instruction concerning generator output given from the wind turbine to the converter.

  • Patent number: 7692119
    Abstract: In the first buffering area provided between the inlet of the furnace and the heating chamber, the ambient gas is blown to the printed circuit board from the lower side of the carrier device, while the ambient gas is sucked in the upper side of the carrier device, thus the outside air is prevented from infiltrating and the ambient gas is prevented from flowing out. Furthermore, the flux is prevented from being attached to the printed circuit board, by installing the flux dropping prevention mechanism in the suction port of the ambient gas.

  • Patent number: 6720753
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a synchronous generator having a converter. A voltage detector detects a terminal voltage of a stator of the synchronous generator. A current detector detects a current flowing through the stator. A rotor position estimating part estimates a rotor position of the synchronous generator from the detected voltage and current. An active power detector detects a active power of the synchronous generator. A reactive power detector detects a reactive power of the synchronous generator or a terminal voltage detector detects an effective value of a terminal voltage of the stator.
