Abstract: Disclosed is a control method for a hybrid parallel integrated power supply. Under the condition of a 2:1 current ratio between a Si-based inverter and a SiC-based inverter, an optimal power ratio between the two inverters is obtained by reducing a power loss of a fundamental wave component on the Si-based inverter. Based on the fitting for effective values of a harmonic current on the Si-based inverter, an optimal switching frequency of the Si-based inverter and a relationship between a minimum harmonic-current conduction loss and a switching loss under the optimal switching frequency are obtained. Zero sequence components of the current are eliminated through rapid switching of the SiC-based inverter, to suppress harmonic waves.

Abstract: A firework lighting device comprises a spherical body, multiple conical elements detachably mounted to the spherical body and a light module mounted inside the spherical body. The spherical body is hollow and formed by assembling two shells and two terminal caps. The light module has multiple light strips respectively extending into the multiple conical elements and emitting light in multiple colors. The spherical body and the conical elements form a shape with a sphere at middle and multiple cones radiating outwardly from the sphere, which looks like fireworks. When turned on, the light strips of the light module light the conical elements up, so the firework lighting device produces a lighting effect resembling fireworks, thereby increasing decoration effects. Also, because the two shells and the two terminal caps of the spherical body are detachable, manufacturing convenience of the spherical body is increased.
