Title: Innovations of Junqiang Zhou
Introduction
Junqiang Zhou is a notable inventor based in San Jose, CA, who has made significant contributions to the field of power systems and wind turbine control. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of energy systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Systems and methods for distributed power system model calibration." This invention provides a computing device designed to receive event data and model response data associated with a model to simulate. The device is programmed to divide the event data into multiple sets, each containing associated parameters, and transmit these sets to various client nodes. Each client node analyzes its corresponding set of event data to determine updated parameters for the model. The computing device then receives and analyzes these updated parameters to determine at least one adjusted parameter.
Another significant patent is "System and method for wind turbine multivariable control using state dependent quadratic regulator." This system includes a state dependent quadratic regulator (SDQR) control unit and a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) that generates control acceleration commands for regulating wind turbine speed and power. The invention augments an actuator dynamic model with a wind turbine model, which can either be an analytical linearization model or a precomputed linear model. This model is selected based on real-time scheduling operations, ensuring optimal performance during wind turbine operation.
