His work primarily focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of subsea power distribution systems.
Latest Patents
One of Xiaodong Liang's latest patents is a passive harmonic filter for power distribution systems. This invention involves a subsea power distribution system that includes a three-phase AC power source and multiple variable frequency drives. The inputs of these drives are connected to the AC power source, while electric motors are connected in series to the outputs of each variable frequency drive. The passive harmonic filter system is designed to connect in parallel with the variable frequency drives to the AC power source. This filter system comprises multiple harmonic filters, each tuned to a specific harmonic frequency. Each harmonic filter includes several sub-filters, with each sub-filter containing a reactor connected in series to a main capacitor and one or more detuning capacitors. The design ensures that each harmonic filter is tuned to a different specific harmonic, with sub-filters also tuned to the same respective harmonic, allowing for an equal sharing of the kVAR load among the sub-filters.
