  • Patent number: 11501371
    Abstract: This invention provides a distributed energy transaction matching method based on energy network constraints and multiple knapsack model. First, it considers the matching between financial market transactions and actual energy network scheduling, then generates security constraints on the results of distributed transactions. Next, it designs a multiple knapsack model for peer-to-peer distributed transactions, which can meet the common quotation needs of users or producers who issue transactions and achieve efficient matching under energy network security checks. Finally, the model is verified based on the blockchain Ethereum smart contract test verification. This method provides new ideas for the connection between distributed energy trading and actual physical dispatch, proposes an inclusive and efficient matching model for the point-to-point distributed trading market, which has great reference value for the connection between distributed energy trading and actual conditions.

  • Publication number: 20210295227
    Abstract: This invention involves a multi-energy distributed transaction and smart contract design method based on the Ethereum private chain. This method includes the following steps: 1) Setting the genesis node of the smart contract as an administrator node, while other nodes as user nodes; 2) Distinguishing system functions and account permissions between administrator nodes and user nodes. Only administrator nodes can add or delete the types of tradable energy in the blockchain through the energy switch function; 3) The user realizes multiple energy transactions at the same time, and the smart contract matches the information released by users based on the market supply and demand situation. This invention can effectively solve the problems of the centralization of the current energy trading system and insufficient security protection. At the same time, it provides an effective solution to the current limited development of blockchain technology in the field of multi-energy trading.

  • Patent number: 11047751
    Abstract: A method for checking the design of locking assemblies is provided. A pressure on each contact surface and a torque that can be transferred by a spindle and a bushing after locking assemblies are locked are calculated. The calculated torque is compared with the designed maximum transferable torque to calculate a torque safety coefficient. Based on a minimum fit clearance, a resultant stress of components is calculated and is compared with a yield strength of the material of the components to calculate a strength safety coefficient of the components. A pre-tightening force of the bolts is obtained according to a given pre-tightening moment of the bolts. A maximum equivalent stress of the bolts is calculated to obtain a safety coefficient of the bolts. This method is able to be applied to the manufacturing of the locking assemblies.

  • Patent number: 9143964
    Abstract: UEs are adapted to facilitate detection and handling of deconstructive impacts of default weight factors employed before downlink and uplink synchronization is achieved in closed-loop transmission diversity communications. According to one example, a UE may receive transmissions sent using a default weight factor for transmission diversity. The UE may determine whether the default weight factor is causing a deconstructive impact on signal-to-interference ratio estimates for the received transmissions. When it is determined that the default weight factor is causing the deconstructive impact on the signal-to-interference ratio estimates for the received transmissions, the UE may employ an alternate closed-loop transmission diversity (CLTD) mode. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
