  • Patent number: 9444379
    Abstract: A wind power excitation synchronous generation system having a maximum power determining unit and a control method thereof are disclosed. In this control method, dual input shafts and a single output shaft of a gear transmission mechanism are used, and two kinds of inputted power, such as wind power and servo motor control power, are integrated, so as to allow the output shaft to drive an excitation synchronous generator to generate electric power. In this system, a rotation speed and a phase of a servo motor are controlled, so as to allow the excitation synchronous generator to output the electric power with a frequency and a phase identical to the utility grid.

  • Publication number: 20160121182
    Abstract: This utility model discloses a type of baseball bat that falls within the baseball paraphernalia and is composed of a hitting part and a handle part; the inside of the hitting part is a hollow cavity, and the hitting—part wall body is of unequal wall-thickness construction. Different sections of the hitting part may hit the baseball when hitting. The wall body of hitting part is of an unequal wall-thickness construction, therefore, different resilience effect may be achieved by the hitting part with different wall thickness, the hitting effect of each stroke is different, and the pitch of baseball achieved by baseball bat makes it hard for an attacker to catch the baseball.

  • Patent number: 8853875
    Abstract: A stand-alone wind power generation system and a method for controlling an excitation synchronous generator thereof are provided. In this method, an input wind power is transformed into an electrical power and outputted to a load. With the use of a coaxial configuration, a windmill, a speed-increasing gearbox, the excitation synchronous generator, and a motor are integrated in the same shaft. The output voltage of the generator is stabilized by an excitation field control. With the use of a motor servo control, the speed of generator can be stabilized under a wind disturbance condition. Therefore, the output power and frequency can be stable. A power flow management unit can control battery sets to charge and discharge, so as to accomplish the proposed control method.

    Abstract: A wind power excitation synchronous generation system and a control method thereof are disclosed. In this control method, dual input shafts and a single output shaft of a gear transmission mechanism are used, and two kinds of inputted energy, such as wind energy and servo motor control power, are integrated, so as to allow the output shaft to drive an excitation synchronous generator to generate electric power. In this system, a rotation speed and a phase of a servo motor are controlled, so as to allow the excitation synchronous generator to output the electric power with a frequency and a phase identical to the utility grid. Furthermore, a control circuit for maximum power tracking is used to control an excitation current of the excitation synchronous generator for achieving a stable voltage, the maximum outputted wind energy and the minimum energy consumption of the servo motor.
