  • Patent number: 12107421
    Abstract: Described are systems and techniques for extracting frequency and voltage harmonic transients corresponding to individual load events. Such systems and techniques can be used to make electrical loads aware of the operation of other loads in an electric grid. Thus, awareness is achieved using information derived only from a utility voltage waveform at a load. Also described are systems and techniques for incorporating such awareness into load controllers which allows loads to autonomously meet system level objectives in addition to their individual requirements.

  • Patent number: 12095432
    Abstract: The invention discloses a power noise suppression circuit applied to a power system. The power noise suppression circuit comprises at least one power noise to heat converter and at least one anti-power noise transmitted unit. When a power noise within a specific frequency band enters the power noise suppression circuit, the power noise to heat converter converts the power noise to a thermal energy, and the anti-power noise transmitted unit reflects the power noise within the specific frequency band to the power noise to heat converter. Accordingly, the power noise within the specific frequency band can be suppressed and absorbed in the power noise suppression circuit, so as to maintain the stability of the power system.

  • Patent number: 11533036
    Abstract: A radio frequency filtering circuitry includes a first inductor, a second inductor, and a conductive loop. The first inductor receives a first current that induces a second current in the second inductor upon receiving the first current. The first inductor and/or the second inductor induce a third current in the conductive loop. The conductive loop adjusts the third current to reduce a first gain peak of an output signal to correlate to a second gain peak of the output signal.
