Title: Volker Hussennether: Innovator in Power Converter Technology
Introduction
Volker Hussennether is a notable inventor based in Nuremberg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of power converter technology, holding a total of 7 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods for controlling and operating power converters, particularly those that utilize line-commutated systems.
Latest Patents
Hussennether's latest patents include a "Power converter arrangement and control method therefor." This invention describes a method for controlling a converter assembly that features a line-commutated converter. The converter has an alternating voltage terminal that can connect to an alternating voltage network via a phase conductor. Additionally, the converter assembly includes a switch module branch arranged serially in the phase conductor, which contains a series circuit of switch modules. These modules can generate bipolar voltages that add up to a branch voltage. The connection voltage to a point between the switch module branch and the converter is controlled by adjusting the amplitude of a positive sequence component of the branch voltage.
Another significant patent is the "Method for operating a power converter." This method involves operating a thyristor-based line-commutated multi-phase power converter connected to a multi-phase AC voltage network. A series circuit of modules is arranged for each phase, which includes electronic switching elements and an electric energy storage device. The phases' voltages are monitored, and if an undervoltage is detected, the system generates an additional voltage to temporarily increase the affected phase's voltage.
