  • Patent number: 10270332
    Abstract: According to the overload current limiting method for a voltage source converter, when a pole control system receives a water-cooling overload current limiting instruction, an active and reactive instruction are changed at the same time according to a specified slope, so that an absolute value of an arm current of the converter decreases in a fixed slope, and can be ensured that active power and reactive power fall to zero at the same time, and a water-cooling load limiting aim of the converter can be achieved by reducing the arm current. After a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction received by the pole control system is cancelled, a current value of the active power and the inactive power remain unchanged. When a water-cooling overload power limiting instruction is received again, decrease continues on the basis of current power values until the power falls to zero.

  • Patent number: 10218184
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting multiple inverter stations from entering a passive control mode in an island state. The method includes dividing inverter stations into groups in advance; a principle for group division is dividing inverter stations whose alternating-current sides are connected to each other through an alternating-current line in a normal running condition into a group; priorities of the inverter stations are preset in each group to tune relevant fixed values of the inverter stations for island detection; a tuning principle is that an inverter station with a higher priority has a more sensitive relevant fixed value, and an island state is more easily detected for the corresponding inverter station; an inverter station for which an island state is detected can enter a passive control mode only when all the other inverter stations with priorities higher than the priority of the inverter station in the group send enabling signals.

  • Patent number: 10184122
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions and kits for using a transposase and a transposon end for generating extensive fragmentation and 5?-tagging of double-stranded target DNA in vitro, then using a DNA polymerase for generating 5?- and 3?-tagged single-stranded DNA fragments without performing a PCR amplification reaction, wherein the first tag on the 5?-ends exhibits the sequence of the transferred transposon end and optionally, an additional arbitrary sequence, and the second tag on the 3?-ends exhibits a different sequence from the sequence exhibited by the first tag. The method is useful for generating 5?- and 3?-tagged DNA fragments for use in a variety of processes, including processes for metagenomic analysis of DNA in environmental samples, copy number variation (CNV) analysis of DNA, and comparative genomic sequencing (CGS), including massively parallel DNA sequencing (so-called “next generation sequencing).

  • Publication number: 20180219380
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a passive islanding to grid-connection switching method for a VSC HVDC transmission system. When the VSC HVDC transmission system in an island operation state, whether the VSC HVDC transmission system enters an grid-connection state is determined by detecting whether an overcurrent phenomenon has occurred in a converter valve-side three-phase alternating-current or a converter bridge arm current, and detecting a change status of an alternating-current side voltage. The system is controlled to switch from an island operation control mode to a grid-connection control mode. At a moment of switching, the online control mode is smoothly switched to by changing a power instruction and performing phase tracking on a current grid voltage, so that continuous operation of the system is maintained.
