  • Publication number: 20230068452
    Abstract: A power conversion system is coupled between a power grid and a load. The power conversion system includes a battery, a first converter, a second converter and a DC/DC converter. The first converter is configured to selectively convert an input power from the power grid into a first charging power when the power grid is operated normally. The second converter is configured to convert the input power from the power grid into an output power when the power grid is operated normally. The DC/DC converter is electrically connected between the battery and the second converter. The DC/DC converter is configured to convert a storage power in the battery into a backup power when the power grid is not operated normally.

  • Patent number: 10456625
    Abstract: A sporting apparatus comprises a structure body, an endless belt, an electricity generating unit, a position sensing unit and a modulation unit for continuously outputting electricity as the sporting apparatus is continuously operated. The electricity generating unit transforms kinetic energy, which is transmitted from the endless belt, into electric power. The position sensing unit senses a position of a user on the endless belt so as to generate a sensing signal. The modulation unit includes a DC/AC inverter, a current sensing element, an inductor and a semiconductor switch with a controller. The current sensing element senses an armature current outputted from the electricity generating unit and outputs a signal to the controller. The controller controls the duty ratio of the semiconductor switch to control the armature current, so that the armature current is adjusted according to the sensing signal for controlling the rotation speed of the endless belt.
