FLEXIBLE VOLTAGE TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM
Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a modular power transformer are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a matrix power transformer including a plurality of block assemblies each including a plurality of transformer modules, each transformer module including a primary winding coupled to an input and a secondary winding coupled to an output, the inputs of each transformer module in one block assembly being coupled together and the outputs of each transformer block being coupled together. One of the secondary windings includes a plurality of taps structured to be selectively coupled to the output of the associated transformer module assembly or another secondary winding of the associated module assembly.
Switching regulator overload detector
A method, apparatus, and device provide for the detection of the adequacy of the current sourcing capability of a power source. The current sourcing capability of the power source is dynamically detected by sampling comparison values obtained during one or more sampling sub-windows and determining a sample density of comparison values. In response to the sample density of comparison values crossing a selectable density threshold, an insufficient-supply indication is generated.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING A TAPPED TRANSFORMER TO GENERATE VOLTAGE SAGS
A device includes a three phase supply input including a first phase input, a second phase input, and a third phase input. The device further includes a three phase supply output including a first phase output, a second phase output, and a third phase output. The device further includes a three-phase wye-connected auto-transformer having windings including a first winding, a second winding, and a third winding. At least one of the windings is rated for at least a maximum line to line voltage of the three phase supply input. The other two windings are rated for at least a maximum line to neutral voltage of the three phase supply input. One or more of the windings of the three-phase wye-connected auto-transformer are configured to be tapped to generate a voltage sag output as the three phase supply output.
Voltage monitoring control device and voltage monitoring control method
A centralized voltage control device connected to a first local voltage control device adjusting the control amount every second cycle such that a voltage of a transformer-type voltage control apparatus is maintained within a range between voltage upper and lower limit values updated every first cycle and a second local voltage control device adjusting the control amount of a reactive-power-modified voltage control apparatus every third cycle, wherein the centralized voltage control device includes a load and power-generation-amount estimation unit estimating a load and power-generation-amount distribution every first cycle under condition of a mean load and mean power generation, condition of a minimum load and maximum power generation, and condition of a maximum load and minimum power generation, a voltage-fluctuation-band estimation unit estimating a voltage fluctuation band, an optimal-voltage-distribution determination unit determining a control target value of the first local voltage control device, and a voltage upper-and-lower-limit-value determination unit.
Damping hinge structure and foldable electronic device
The present disclosure provides a damping hinge structure and a foldable electronic device. The damping hinge structure includes a housing, a shaft that is mounted in the housing and includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, an actuating structure that is mounted on the shaft between the first end and the second end and enclosed in the housing and is configured to drive the shaft to rotate relative to the housing, and a damping structure configured to damping rotation of the shaft driven by the actuating structure.
System and method for regulation of voltage on an electrical network
An electric power system including an on-load tap changing (OLTC) transformer is provided. The OLTC transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. A portion of the at least one primary winding and at least one of the secondary windings are inductively coupled to each other. Further, the electric power system includes at least one on-load tap changer coupled to the at least one primary winding or the at least one secondary winding of the OLTC transformer.
