  • Patent number: 9015267
    Abstract: A method for setting addresses of slave devices in a communication network is provided. In the communication network, a master device identifies address-collided slave devices and requests the address-collided slave devices to return their unique identification data. The master device sets addresses of the address-collided slave devices so that each of the slave devices in the communication network has a different address from one another.

  • Patent number: 8773094
    Abstract: An alternating current (AC) line emulator includes an AC power supply and an automatic regulating load. The AC power supply is used for providing an AC line frequency and an AC line voltage. The automatic regulating load is coupled between the AC power supply and a grid-connected power generation system for functioning as a test load of the grid-connected power generation system, and preventing current from reversing to the AC power supply and shutting down the AC power supply. When the grid-connected power system is tested, power consumption of the automatic regulating load is equal to a sum of output power of the grid-connected power generation system and output power of the AC power supply.

  • Publication number: 20120281441
    Abstract: A circuit for converting a direct current voltage into an alternating current voltage includes a buck converter, a resonant DC voltage/DC voltage converter, a DC voltage/AC voltage inverter, and a DC link capacitor. The buck converter generates a DC current according to an input voltage generated by a voltage source operating at an optimal operation point. The resonant DC voltage/DC voltage converter converts the input voltage to a DC voltage according to a switch clock and a resonant frequency determined by a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductance of the resonant DC voltage/DC voltage converter. The DC voltage/AC voltage inverter converts the DC voltage and outputs an AC voltage to an AC power supply network. The DC link capacitor adjusts power outputted by the DC voltage/AC voltage converter to regulate the DC voltage.
