Current power electronics technologies often provide either AC or DC power separately, limiting applications that require both simultaneously, such as in electric precipitators or ozone generation. Conventional methods for combining AC and DC signals lack flexibility and efficiency. This invention addresses these limitations by introducing an apparatus capable of generating an AC Superimposed DC (ACsDC) signal from a single AC or DC power source, offering flexible control over both AC and DC components in the signal, thereby enhancing versatility and efficiency in various industrial applications.
- AC and DC integration: This technology integrates AC and DC components flexibly from a single power source. It also enables precise control over AC and DC magnitudes in the generated signal.
- Efficient Signal Generation: It utilizes isolation transformers and electronic converters for efficient signal generation. It also enhances versatility for applications requiring combined AC and DC power, from electric precipitators to high-power transmission systems.
Currently at the stage of testing and evaluating the basic concept and confirming the basic formulation for realistic end-use representation.
