  • Patent number: 12136818
    Abstract: A thermal power unit-flywheel energy storage cooperative frequency regulation control method and system is provided, which belongs to the technical field of a power grid. First, a real-time output increment of a thermal power unit is predicted, then a real-time frequency regulation power instruction of a flywheel energy storage system is determined based on the predicted real-time output increment of the thermal power unit, and finally the frequency regulation power instruction of the thermal power unit is determined by a difference adjustment coefficient of a governor and a grid frequency deviation. The thermal power unit and flywheel energy storage system is cooperatively controlled by frequency regulation based on the real-time output increment predicted value of the unit, which realizes self-adaptive adjustment of output of the flywheel energy storage system under dynamic working conditions, and improves the grid frequency stability and operation safety of the thermal power unit.

  • Publication number: 20180310765
    Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a grill configured for quick assembly, a method of partially pre-assembling the grill for shipping from the factory in a container, and a method of assembling the grill when removed from the shipping container. The grill comprises a firebox assembly for mounting on a cart assembly, the cart assembly having first and second support assemblies and at least one linking member interconnecting them. A hinge or pivot in the mid-portion of the linking member divides it into first and second linking member portions, and the opposite ends of the linking member portions are pivotally connected by hinges or the like to the first and second support assemblies. The linking member holds the first and second support assemblies together in a partially pre-assembled state, and the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the two assemblies to be folded for packaging in a shipping container.

  • Patent number: 9211036
    Abstract: A grill comprising a firebox assembly for mounting on a cart assembly, the cart assembly having first and second support assemblies interconnected by at least one linking member. A hinge or pivot in the mid-portion of the linking member divides it into first and second linking member portions, and the opposite ends of the linking member portions are pivotally connected by hinges to the first and second support assemblies. The linking member holds the support assemblies together in a partially pre-assembled state, and the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the two assemblies to be folded for packaging in a shipping container. When removed from the container, the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the support assemblies to be unfolded horizontally to convert the cart assembly to an assembled configuration in which the support assemblies are unfolded to a position suitable for supporting the firebox assembly.

  • Publication number: 20080279507
    Abstract: Fiberoptic connector and adapter assembly includes a fiberoptic connector received within an adapter. The connector has a cover on the connector housing. The cover pivots between open and closed positions to expose or cover, respectively, a optical fiber contained within the connector. Longitudinal guides of the connector are received cooperating with longitudinal guides of the adapter to direct the connector into the adapter in a prescribed alignment. A cam pin is carried on the adapter to engage a cam pin receiving slot on the cover to urge the cover to the open position as the connector is inserted into the adapter.

  • Publication number: 20080048069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibration attenuation/isolation device. An implementation of the invention provides an improved whole-spacecraft vibration attenuation/isolation by separating the vibration load on the spacecraft that arise from the launch vehicle and fairing into longitudinal and lateral components, and effectively attenuates and/or isolates those components. The invention also provides a general method for reducing vibrations in an assembly by using a vibration control device that separates the vibrational forces into perpendicular components that can be separately damped or attenuated.
