  • Publication number: 20230017288
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of electric power system, and more particularly to a topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules, where the topology is composed of a three-phase bridge circuit, half-bridge valve strings, a three-phase filter inductor, and a three-phase grid frequency transformer. The topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules in the present disclosure needs only two half-bridge valve strings, thus greatly reducing the number of the submodules as compared with the conventional MMC structure. When achieving the same high DC voltage output, the present disclosure can improve the power density of the MMC, realize stable three-phase AC output voltage, and further achieve balance of capacitor voltages in the two half-bridge valve strings.

  • Publication number: 20220340690
    Abstract: Provided is a low-molecular-weight holothurian glycosarninoglycan, with the constituent units thereof being a glucuronic acid group, an N-acetaminogalactose group and a fucose group, and a sulfate ester group or acetyl ester group thereof. Glucuronic acid and N-acetaminogalactose are interconnected via ?(1-3) and ?(1-4) glucosidic bonds to form a backbone of a disaccharide repeating structural unit, and a fucose group is connected to the backbone as a side chain. On a molar ratio basis, the ratio of the glucuronic acid group:the N-acetaminogalactose group:the fucose group is 1:(0.8-1.2):(0.6-1.2). In the structure of the low-molecular-weight holothurian glycosaminoglycan, 10-30% of glucuronic acid groups are modified, on the 2-position, with a sulfate ester group, and the rest are hydroxyl groups; and a proportion of 10-30% of fucose groups is modified, on the 2-position, with an acetyl ester group, and the rest are hydroxyl or sulfate ester groups.
