  • Publication number: 20260163364
    Abstract: A direct-current energy-consuming apparatus, a method and a device for controlling a direct-current energy-consuming apparatus, and a storage medium are provided. The direct-current energy-consuming apparatus includes an energy-consuming resistor, a power module, an inductor and a control module. The inductor is arranged in a branch formed by the energy-consuming resistor and the power module connected in series. The control module is configured to switch off the power module when it is detected that a voltage between two ends of the direct-current energy-consuming apparatus is greater than a first voltage threshold, and switch on the power module, when it is detected that a voltage between two ends of the direct-current energy-consuming apparatus is less than a second voltage threshold, where the two voltage thresholds are determined based on a rated voltage of a corresponding direct-current power transmission system.

  • Patent number: 12132315
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a parameter design method for a series passive impedance adapter applicable to a VSC-HVDC transmission system, to resolve the technical problem that high-frequency resonance may occur when impedance of a VSC-HVDC transmission system is mismatched with that of a sending-end or receiving-end grid. A parameter design goal of the present disclosure is that reactive power consumed by a series passive impedance adapter is not more than A times rated power of a converter, and a loss of the series passive impedance adapter in a fundamental wave is B times the rated power of the converter. The parameter design method for a series passive impedance adapter applicable to a VSC-HVDC transmission system in the present disclosure can realize a positive impedance characteristic within a concerned frequency band and completely eliminate a risk of harmonic resonance.

  • Publication number: 20230097644
    Abstract: An ultrasound-assisted simulated digestion method of a milk protein active peptide and an application thereof in health foods, pertaining to the technical field of intensive processing of dairy products and preparation of health foods. The method firstly employs ultrasonic pretreatment of casein and ?-lactoglobulin, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis with a protease to prepare casein and ?-lactoglobulin polypeptide, and traces the activity of the polypeptide by simulating gastrointestinal digestion, and then simulates absorption by intestinal epithelial cells with Caco-2 cells, to characterize a highly active milk protein polypeptide digested by the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed by the Caco-2 cells simulating absorption by the inner wall of the small intestine. The method has identified five such highly active milk protein polypeptides.

  • Publication number: 20180228664
    Abstract: A line-up of at least three hygiene absorbent articles of different sizes, each article comprising a pair of fasteners separated by a wingspan (W) that can be fastened to a fastening area (44) on the front region of the article so that the front region and the waist region form a waist opening. The fastening area in the front region comprises an innermost pair of fastening indicia (A-A), an outermost pair of fastening indicia (C-C) and preferably at least one intermediate pair of fastening indicia (B-B). The outer waist circumference of the article of a given size matches within 30 mm the inner waist circumference of the article of the next upper size in the line-up, the circumferences being calculated by adding the wingspan and the spacing between the innermost pair or outermost pair of indicia respectively.
