  • Patent number: 11728652
    Abstract: A regulation process of an electrical distribution network that comprises a main power source, among one or more electrical sources, configured to impose on the network the voltage and frequency of a power circulating on the network to which one or more loads are connected. The process includes, in the event of a variation of one of the frequency or the voltage detected on the network, during a primary regulation, one adjustment step by the main source of the other between the frequency and the voltage, to maintain constant the ratio voltage/frequency.

  • Publication number: 20210104964
    Abstract: Method for controlling a generator comprising an inverter and an electrical energy source, the generator being configured to deliver output electrical values to an electrical distribution grid, the inverter being controlled by a control law, the control law comprising a set of fixed values of parameters for modelling the functioning of a synchronous virtual generator so that the control law is configured to determine at least one target output value that must be delivered by the generator to the electrical distribution grid.

  • Publication number: 20200091720
    Abstract: A method of controlling a generator including an inverter with electronic switches which, controlled on the basis of instantaneous cyclic ratios ?abc, enable the inverter to deliver to an electrical distribution grid an electrical power Pabc at an AC voltage Vabc, termed the source voltage, and an AC current Iabc, termed the source current, the voltage Vabc and current Iabc having a frequency fabc, the inverter being controlled by a control law that includes: a) an integration loop to evaluate a difference ? between the current Iabc and a grid current Ir actually required by the electrical distribution grid; b) a correction loop which, as soon as the difference ? is greater than a difference ?* termed the reference difference, controls the adjustment by the source current inverter of the instantaneous cyclic ratios ?abc so as to reduce the difference ? to a value less than the reference difference ?*.

  • Patent number: 10014800
    Abstract: An electricity generator including a first converter suitable for converting a variation of an energy to be harvested into a corresponding excess of electrical charges. The generator includes a circuit for collecting the excess of electrical charges, the circuit has a first controllable mechanical switch, and a control device for the first switch designed to control the switching of the switch to its closed position when the excess of electrical charges exceeds a first predetermined threshold. The switch is a magnetic switch and the control device comprises a variable magnetic field source which controls the switching of the first switch to its closed position only at the time when the excess of electrical charges exceeds the first predetermined threshold.
