  • Publication number: 20230352253
    Abstract: An AC switch that includes a semiconductor switch and a snubber circuit connected in parallel between a first terminal connected to an AC power supply via a circuit breaker and a second terminal connected to a load. The power converter is connected between a power storage device and the second terminal. The current detector detects a current flowing through the AC switch. When the AC power supply is normal, the controller turns on the semiconductor switch. When an open state of the circuit breaker is detected, the controller controls the power converter to supply a current having a phase opposite to that of the current detected by the current detector to flow through the semiconductor switch and supply the AC power to the load. The controller further turns off the semiconductor switch in response to that the amplitude of the current detected by the current detector is 0.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a SCADA web HMI system that can reduce a load for processing input/output signals in a large-scale system. An HMI server apparatus performs three filtering processing. In first filtering processing, in a case where received block data corresponds to a screen currently displayed on a web browser, a set of input/output signals is extracted from the received block data. In second filtering processing, input/output signals each having a value varied from a previous value are extracted from the set of input/output signals extracted in the first filtering processing. In third filtering processing, input/output signals corresponding to display parts arranged in the screen currently displayed on the web browser, are extracted from the input/output signals extracted in the second filtering processing.
