  • Publication number: 20250038537
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to control active power of a distributed power source at high speed in a distributed-power-source control system. A central operation unit includes an f-change-rate control parameter operation unit that calculates an f-change-rate control parameter from a simulation result of a response operation unit. A distributed-power-source control apparatus includes an f-change-rate measurement unit that measures an f change rate of an own terminal, an f-change-rate controlled variable operation unit that sets, as an f-change-rate controlled variable, active power corresponding to the f change rate of the own terminal in the f-change-rate control parameter, and a power converter that controls active power output from the distributed power source to a transmission and distribution system, based on an active power controlled variable determined based on the f-change-rate controlled variable.

  • Patent number: 10382090
    Abstract: Provided is a technique that can generate a spread spectrum clock signal in all of an upper-spread mode, a down-spread mode, and a center-spread mode. A spread spectrum clock generator (2) spreads a spectrum of a signal with a predetermined carrier frequency to generate a spread spectrum clock signal under the control of a control unit (13). The control unit includes carrier frequency correction control means (13b). The carrier frequency correction control means shifts the predetermined carrier frequency to generate, from one spread mode, a spread spectrum clock signal of another pseudo spread mode.

  • Patent number: 9832045
    Abstract: The synthetic circuit 16 synthesizes an offset voltage from an offset voltage generator 14 with a signal output from the other end of the first coil 15 and supplies the synthesized signal to the other end of the second coil 18 through an output matching resistor 17. A potential difference detection unit 21 detects a potential difference between both ends of the output matching resistor 17. A comparison circuit 23 outputs an overcurrent detection signal when a voltage value of a detection signal from the potential difference detection unit 21 exceeds a positive or negative threshold voltage. When the overcurrent detection signal is input, a control unit 24 turns off the switching means 19 and forcibly disconnects the synthetic circuit 16 from the output matching resistor 17.
