  • Publication number: 20210109140
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying parameters of a 10 kV static load model based on similar daily load curves. In the present invention, an optimization model for identifying full-period parameters of the static load model is proposed based on a large number of daily load curves with response characteristic, a structure and constraints of the static load model, and two theoretical basic assumptions about loads. Full-period (including 96 moments) static voltage model parameters of 10 kV loads are given through optimization solution. A rule that active power and reactive power of the loads at each moment change with voltage is obtained. In addition, a change rule of load constituents is obtained. The method delivers good applicability, satisfies actual demands, and is suitable for large-scale static model analyses for 10 kV loads.

  • Publication number: 20170325101
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method and apparatus for monitoring and correcting a transmit signal. A first sample is taken before the signal is input to a digital to analog converter (DAC) in a transmit chain. A second sample is taken of the transmit signal after the signal has passed through the power amplifier (PA). The first and second transmit samples are then compared and an equalizer interpolation value is determined. This equalizer interpolation value is applied to the transmit signal before transmission to provide a transmit signal with improved quality. The apparatus includes a feedback receive correction unit; a time domain processor in communication with the feedback receive correction unit; a frequency domain processing equalizer in communication with the time domain processor; an equalizer interpolation unit; an absolute value squaring unit in communication with the equalizer interpolation unit; and a processor for computation of a transmit quality parameter.
