Diming ZHANG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11848624
    Abstract: This invention proposes a single-vector-based finite control set model predictive control for two parallel power converters, which adopts a centralized control structure to achieve accurate control of overall performance. It establishes predictive models for line currents and three phase-circulating currents and constructs a novel cost function that uses these currents as performance indices to implement the predictive control algorithm based on the proposed predictive models. The invention proposes dynamic weighting coefficients and adjustment principles to improve system control performance. A finite set output signal matrix containing important characteristic information of all alternative vectors is constructed to avoid redundant calculations in each control horizon, reducing computation time during practical implementation.
