  • Publication number: 20250096822
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and method for using a cellular communication chain integrated with RFID wireless communication to communicate with an external RFID tag and a cellular wireless base station. A front end circuit can receive a first RF signal as input and can provide, as output, a processed first RF signal for wireless communication via a cellular network and be a low-band signal. An RFID circuit can generate a second RF signal for wireless communication with an RF identifier tag. A switch circuit or one or more toggle switches can be configured to route the processed first RF signal for transmission via an antenna for the wireless communication via the cellular network and route the second RF signal for transmission via the antenna for the wireless communication with the RF identifier tag.

  • Patent number: 12234806
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a frequency support method, device and wind farm for a wind farm and belongs to the technical field of new energy power generation and grid connection. In the frequency support method, a state that can reflect a frequency modulation capability of a wind turbine is designed, measured, and recorded as a consistency factor of frequency modulation. Each wind turbine is controlled to exchange the consistency factors with two adjacent wind turbines. Each wind turbine combines its own consistency factors with the consistency factors of two adjacent wind turbines to generate consistent added power through a PI link and adjusts real-time frequency modulation output based on the consistency added power. In this way, the states of the wind turbines in the wind farm are similar during the frequency support process, so that a reasonable distribution of frequency support power is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20250043566
    Abstract: A method of retrofitting a building exterior with an insulation and cladding construction has a multitude of steps. One step involves placing rigid panel insulation members to certain areas of the building exterior. A subsequent step involves spraying polyurethane insulation foam to certain areas of the building exterior. And yet another step involves spraying cladding over the rigid panel insulation members placed at the building exterior, and involves spraying the cladding over the previously-sprayed polyurethane insulation foam. The sprayed cladding cures in-place and, once cured, constitutes a continuous and monolithic cladding exterior construction over the placed rigid panel insulation members and over the sprayed polyurethane insulation foam.

  • Publication number: 20240392747
    Abstract: A control method, a control device and a wind farm system for a wind turbine frequency support are provided. The control method includes the following: calculating a comprehensive inertia power value by using a wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient when a frequency accident occurs in the wind farm; obtaining a real-time rotational speed of each wind turbine to calculate a state factor that changes in real time, where each wind turbine adjusts a state reference power value of its own by exchanging the state factor with a neighboring wind turbine; and determining instantaneous stator power of each wind turbine by using a MPPT part corresponding to the rotational speed, the comprehensive inertia power value, and the state reference power value, so as to control each wind turbine to perform frequency support until a predetermined frequency support time is reached.

  • Publication number: 20240063830
    Abstract: The solution can provide a switch-configurable diplexer architecture for dual-band communication. A first diplexer can have a first band for an interlink connection between an access point and a device and a second band for an intralink connection between the device and a second device. The first band and the pass band can be separated by a first gap. A second diplexer can have a third band for the first interlink and a fourth band for the intralink. The third band and the fourth band can be separated by a second gap. The first band and the third band, as well as the second band and the fourth band, can partially overlap. A processor can identify that the access point has selected, for the interlink connection, a first channel corresponding to the second gap and determine, responsive to the identification, to use the second diplexer for the intralink connection.
