  • Patent number: 9810463
    Abstract: An integrated air conditioning system includes an indirect outdoor air cooler having a first heat exchanger for passing through indoor air as warm air, a second heat exchanger for passing through outdoor air, and piping and a pump for circulating a fluid through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger; an air conditioner having an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser, for passing the indoor air to convert to cold air; a fan for passing the outdoor air through the second heat exchanger and the condenser; and a control device. The control device sets any mode from among a first mode for performing an individual operation of the indirect outdoor air cooler, a second mode for performing an individual operation of the air conditioner, or a third mode for performing a combined operation of the air conditioner and the indirect outdoor air cooler, to a current operation mode.

  • Patent number: 9621023
    Abstract: The present invention whose object is to reduce compensation current at the time when suppressing harmonic distortion caused by harmonic voltage, to reduce capacitance of an inverter, a resonance suppression device configured to suppress resonance which occurs when a power facility such as a wind power generator is connected to a power system includes: an inverter configured to supply alternating current to the power system, the inverter being in parallel with the power facility; a current command value generation unit in which voltage at a connection point between the power facility and the power system is inputted thereto and a current command value is obtained by multiplying, by a transfer function, a harmonic component contained in the voltage at the connection point; and a current control unit configured to control the alternating current outputted from the inverter based on the current command value.

  • Patent number: 9590485
    Abstract: A resonance suppression device, in which power loss and apparatus capacitance are reduced by outputting a compensating current only while a voltage resonance is being generated, and which suppresses resonance generated by connection of a power apparatus to a power system. In one embodiment, the device includes a capacitance change detector that detects a change of an electrostatic capacitance (impedance) connected to the power system. When the resonance detector detects the resonance, a current command value generator generates the current command value on the basis of harmonic components included in a current supplied from the power apparatus to the power system. When the impedance change detector detects a change of the impedance, the current command value generator generates the current command value so as to reduce the compensating current.
