  • Patent number: 11644810
    Abstract: A hybrid rendering HMI terminal device (32) is provided with a web browser (321) and an HMI Web Runtime (322). The web browser (321) displays an HMI screen on which a first part and a second part that represent the state of a monitoring target device (7) are arranged. When signal data from the monitoring target device (7) is analog numerical data, a WebGL rendering processing unit (322i) renders the first part associated with the signal data by WebGL rendering. When signal data from the monitoring target device (7) is data other than analog numerical data, an SVG rendering processing unit (322h) renders the second part associated with the signal data by SVG rendering.

  • Publication number: 20230134153
    Abstract: A plurality of UPSs are connected in parallel between an AC power supply and a load. The UPSs each include a first switch connected between the AC power supply and an AC node. During the first power feeding mode, a control device turns on the first switch, and controls a power conversion device so as to receive AC power from the AC node and generate AC power. During a second power feeding mode, the control device turns off the first switch, and controls the power conversion device so as to receive DC power from a power storage device and generate AC power. When the AC power supply recovers during the second power feeding mode, the control device successively switches the plurality of UPSs to the first power feeding mode by successively turning on a plurality of the first switches each of which corresponds to each of the plurality of UPSs.

  • Patent number: 11632035
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a capacitor diagnosis device includes a sensor, a frequency spectrum analysis unit, a frequency component extraction unit, and a diagnosis processing unit. The sensor detects a physical quantity that changes with an current flowing through a capacitor in a power conversion unit (PCU) for converting DC power smoothed by the capacitor connected in parallel to DC link(s) into AC power according to a power running operation. The frequency spectrum analysis unit generates a frequency spectrum based on a detection result of the sensor detected during the power running operation of the PCU. The frequency component extraction unit extracts a component of a specific frequency band related to a frequency depending on a configuration of the PCU based on the frequency spectrum. The diagnosis processing unit diagnoses a state of the capacitor based on at least a magnitude of the extracted component of the specific frequency band.

    Abstract: The insulation deterioration monitoring apparatus comprises a computer on which software is installed. The software causes the computer to execute at least first to fourth processes. In the first process, during stopping of at least one inverter unit, the computer selects one inverter unit out of the stopped inverter units and causes the inverter corresponding to the selected inverter unit to generate a direct current voltage. In the second process, the computer measures the current value of the ground current while the corresponding motor driving inverter generates the direct current voltage. In the third process, the computer records the measured current value of the ground current for each inverter unit in association with the selected inverter unit. Then, in the fourth process, based on the measured current value of the ground current recorded for each inverter unit, the computer analyzes the tendency of insulation deterioration of each inverter unit.
