  • Publication number: 20170366011
    Abstract: A system and a control method of a mobile micro-grid are provided. The mobile micro-grid system includes a renewable energy source and a non-renewable energy source which are in a container. The control method includes supplying the renewable energy source as a primary power supply to an external load; and determining whether the electricity of the renewable energy source is sufficient. If the electricity of the renewable energy source is sufficient, then the renewable energy source provides electricity to the external load; if the electricity of the renewable energy source is not sufficient, then the renewable energy source and non-renewable energy source provide electricity to the external load. If an external power source, which is a renewable-energy-type power source, is connected to the mobile micro-grid system, then the renewable energy source and external power source work as the primary power supply.

  • Patent number: 9832581
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an audio player and a processing unit. The processing unit includes a detection module, a timer module, and a control module. The detection module is used to detect an output volume produced currently when the audio player produces sound and to determine whether the output volume conforms to a volume control standard. The timer module is signally connected with the detection module and used to calculate the cumulative time during which the output volume produced by the audio player conforms to the volume control standard when the output volume conforms to the volume control standard and to determine whether the cumulative time equals the control time. The control module is signally connected with the timer module and used to control the audio player to decrease the volume of an output sound or to stop outputting sound when the cumulative time equals the control time.
