  • Publication number: 20230314026
    Abstract: An energy-saving control method includes obtaining a demand instruction configured to indicate an energy-saving operation and a performing time slot of the energy-saving operation. The energy-saving operation is determined based on load data of a power grid and is configured to reduce a load of the power grid. The method further includes transmitting a first control message configured to control an authorized device to perform the energy-saving operation in response to detecting that time reaches the performing time slot, and transmitting a second control message configured to control the authorized device to stop performing the energy-saving operation in response to detecting that time is outside the performing time slot.

  • Patent number: 11646663
    Abstract: A start-up routine for a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) gradually increases the duty cycle while reducing an initial dead time to a final optimal dead time for normal operation. Reliability is improved by the larger initial dead time that reduces ringing in switching transistors during low-voltage conditions early in the start-up sequence. Efficiency is improved by reducing the optimal dead time as voltages approach operating levels. The initial dead time is pre-calculated as a function of the input voltage and initial duty cycle. Optimal dead times are pre-calculated as a function of output voltage and output current. The optimal dead time is adjusted for each iteration of a second loop that also increases duty cycle until the target operating output voltage is reached. Pre-calculated dead times are based on the time required to fully charge and discharge parasitic drain-to-source capacitances in the switching transistors in the SMPS circuit.

  • Patent number: 11201991
    Abstract: The invention discloses a binocular robot for bridge underwater detection based on 5G communication. The robot includes a body, a base, a power arm, a video collection component, a communication component and a power component. The underwater part of the bridge may be collected in the form of a video by the configured video collection component, and the robot may be driven by the power component to move underwater. Driven by a first motor, a binocular camera may rotate to observe various orientations underwater, and meanwhile may drive a cleaning component coordinated with an electric top block to wipe the lens of the binocular camera, so that the video information may be collected clearly underwater. Finally, the video information may be transmitted to a worker on the water through the communication component to achieve the effect of remote detection, which saves the underwater detection cost and improves detection efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10211728
    Abstract: Two or more power converters are connected in parallel to supply power current to a joining node through connecting resistors. An output voltage before the connecting resistor in each power converter is sampled and divided by a sampling ratio to generate sampled voltages for each power converter. A current sharing circuit for each power converter receives the local sampled voltage and another sampled voltage from another power converter. The current sharing circuit generates an adjustment voltage that is injected into a feedback loop. The adjustment voltage modifies the output voltage of the power converter, adjusting and balancing the power current delivered by that power converter. Power currents from several power converters are reduced and balanced when the same sampling ratio is used for all power converters. Current hogging by one power converter is prevented.
