  • Internal combustion engine having exhaust gas recirculation loop with catalyzed heat exchanger for steam reformation
    Patent number: 10119500
    Abstract: A method of providing recirculated exhaust to an internal combustion engine. The engine has an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation loop) which may be a high pressure loop, a low pressure loop, or a dedicated cylinder loop. A catalyzed heat exchanger on the EGR loop has a steam reformation catalyst and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger uses hot exhaust gas from the main exhaust line to heat the catalyst. A methane fuel source adds methane to the recirculated exhaust stream before it enters the catalyst, and the catalytic reaction increases the amount of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the recirculated exhaust.

  • A Novel Unified Power Flow Controller and Control Method Thereof
    Publication number: 20180316190
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel Unified Power Flow Controller UPFC and its control method. Supposing that one end of DC converter is connected to the DC transmission line of HVDC converter station or substation and the other end is connected to the DC side of a series converter, the AC output voltage of the series converter can be controlled to regulate the line power of the UPFC for operation in UPFC and SSSC mode. In addition, when the number of transformers and shunt converters is decreased at the shunt side of the UPFC, the HVDC Converter Station can be used to provide active power for the series converter of UPFC, which can effectively reduce operation costs and ensure stable operation of power grid. Therefore, there is a bright application prospect for the invention.
