Abstract: A combination of materials and processing parameters have been developed for hermetic seals for electrical feedthroughs in high performance applications. A glass-ceramic forms a hermetic seal between a stainless steel shell and a platinum-nickel-based (Pt—Ni) pin alloy for electrical feedthroughs. The glass-ceramic is processed to develop a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) slightly higher than the pin alloy but lower than the stainless steel. The seal system employing the new processing conditions and Pt—Ni-based pin alloy alleviates several problems encountered in previous seal systems and improves the hermetic connector performance.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for group coordinated voltage control of photovoltaic inverters in a low-voltage distribution network, which relates to the technical field of voltage control of a low-voltage distribution network. The photovoltaic inverters are subjected to group coordinated control, and the sequence of groups for participating in voltage control is adjusted according to the VSF of each group. The photovoltaic inverters in the groups perform voltage control by consistency variables, and coordinated control strategies are used between the groups for control. A group with higher voltage sensitivity is preferably used to participate in voltage control, and then a voltage control instruction is sent to other groups, so as to effectively inhibit voltage overlimit, avoid unnecessary active reduction, and achieve strong robustness during load and photovoltaic fluctuation.
