  • Publication number: 20240097435
    Abstract: A bypass seamless switching apparatus and a method thereof are provided, in which a controller sends a first control signal to control or switch a first relay to on/off state, sends a second control signal to control or switch a second relay to on/off state, and sends a switch signal to control or switch a bypass switch module to on/off state. When the controller is in failure mode or is disconnected, a driving power supply of a bypass circuit provides a driving signal to the bypass switch module to maintain or switch a switch of the bypass switch module to on state, so that the bypass switch module is in short-circuit state or short-circuit protection state, and a bypass side voltage of the bypass switch module is equal to or close to zero voltage, so as to execute bypass function or bypass seamless switching function of the bypass switch module.

  • Patent number: 10103647
    Abstract: A sensorless measurement device for filter capacitor current by using a state observer is provided. The sensorless measurement device comprises a chip, wherein the chip comprises the state observer. The state observer is configured to retrieve a filter-capacitor-voltage actual value and a direct current link (dc-link) voltage of a present sampling time. According to the filter-capacitor-voltage actual value and the dc-link voltage, the state observer is configured to output a filter-capacitor-voltage state variable value, a filter-capacitor-current state variable value, and a disturbance-voltage state variable value of a next sampling time. The filter-capacitor-current state variable value is an average current value without ripples.

  • Patent number: 9614460
    Abstract: A voltage compensating method is applied to a converter for converting a DC voltage into an AC voltage. The converter includes a first switch module, a second switch module, and an inductor. In a first dead time period, detect a first current value related to the inductor. According to the first current value, calculate a second current value and a third current value related to the inductor. According to polarities of the first, second and third current values, determine an output mode of the converter indicating a voltage compensation model after the first dead time period. According to the voltage compensation model, the first current value, and the second current value or the third current value, calculate a voltage compensation value. In a second dead time period, adjust a switching time for the first switch module and the second switch module according to the voltage compensation value.
