Latest Patents
Jintao Zhou holds a patent for a "Generalized pulse width modulation technique for specific inter-harmonics control of the inverters." This disclosure presents a PSR-PWM technique designed for high power active front-end inverters. It aims to dampen specific inter-harmonics that can lead to sub-synchronous resonance in power systems. The technique is particularly relevant due to the strong interactions among wind power converters, photovoltaic converters, FACTS devices, and HVDC transmission systems. These interactions can result in low-frequency oscillations ranging from a few Hz to dozens of Hz, as well as high-frequency oscillations between 300-2000 Hz. Additionally, low-frequency oscillations from 0.6 Hz to 7 Hz are common in the power supply systems of electric locomotives. Such oscillations can disrupt locomotive dispatching systems, especially during large-scale train outages. Furthermore, disturbances in power grid voltage and flicker caused by high-power furnaces and other nonlinear loads are also addressed by this innovative technique.
