  • Publication number: 20230122410
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit with selectable working modes is disclosed. Compared with the traditional chip that works in one mode, the DC-DC converter with selectable working modes adds only a mode selection circuit, so that the chip can work in voltage control mode or current control mode. On the one hand, the applications of the chip are more extensive, and on the other hand, when the applications are different, the cost of developing a DC-DC converter with selectable working mode is greatly reduced compared with the traditional DC-DC converter.

  • Publication number: 20230023693
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a test-boost electric power recloser that limits the duration of the test current imposed on the power line to less than two electric power cycles, and preferably less than one electric power cycle, when attempting to reclose into a fault. The test-boost recloser sends a test pulse causing a non-latching close followed by a boost pulse causing a latching close if waveform analysis based on the test close indicates that the fault has likely cleared. The test-boost approach can typically be implemented through a software and calibration upgrade to a conventional single-coil recloser, accomplishing results comparable to a dual-actuator recloser at a much lower cost. The recloser may perform iterative and feedback learning feedback processes to automatically improve its operation over time in response to measured fault and non-fault conditions and its success in predicting whether faults have cleared.

  • Patent number: 11533696
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a method and an apparatus for reducing co-channel interference, and a base station. The method includes: receiving, by a relay eNodeB ReNB, a propagation delay sent by a donor eNodeB DeNB, where the propagation delay is a delay of propagation between the DeNB and the ReNB; and adjusting, based on the propagation delay, timing parameters for sending uplink data and receiving downlink data by the ReNB, where the timing parameters are delays of the ReNB relative to the DeNB. The DeNB is used as a reference for the propagation delay between the DeNB and the ReNB, to delay timing of receiving the downlink data by the ReNB; and advance timing of sending the uplink data by the ReNB.

  • Patent number: 11489365
    Abstract: A smart switch allows distributed generators to “ride through” non-three-phase faults by very quickly detecting a non-three-phase phase fault, locating the fault, identifying the “responsive sectionalizer switches” that will be involved in clearing or isolating the fault, and selecting one of the responsive sectionalizer switches to direct back-feed tie switch operations. The responsive sectionalizer switches trip only the faulted phase(s), and the selected sectionalizer switch instructs a back-feed tie switch to close to back-feed the distributed generators prior to conducting the typical fault response operation. This typically occurs within about three cycles, and is completed before the normal fault clearing and isolation procedures, which momentarily disconnect all three phases to the distributed generators from the normally connected feeder breaker.
