    摘要: The present invention relates to a current multiplier primarily in the field of power conversion. The invention relates to a controlled current multiplier with a resonant winding to assist with, for example, power conversion. In particular, but not solely, the invention may broadly consist in a current multiplier comprising: a primary winding associated with a power source; a secondary winding associated with a load; a resonant winding associated with a capacitance; and a control means for controlling an output of the secondary winding to the load, the control means associated with the primary or resonant winding. This allows, for instance, control of the high current output to be placed on a low current winding.

    摘要: A demand side electric power supply management system is disclosed. The system comprises an islanded power system having a point of coupling to a supply grid. The islanded power system supplies a plurality of electric loads, each of which is associated with a load controller to control the maximum power demanded by that load. A measuring means associated with the point of coupling measures the total power transfer between the grid and the islanded system, and a system controller monitors the measured power transfer relative to a set point and provides a control signal to a plurality of load controllers. Each load controller receives substantially the same control signal and determines the maximum power which the or each load associated with the load controller is allowed to draw from the islanded power system based on information contained in the control signal.

    摘要: The present application relates to the detection of moving vehicles and other objects, in particular though not exclusively for the application of switching stationary charging pads for moving electric vehicle charging. There is provided an electric vehicle detecting apparatus for switching a charging pad for charging a vehicle transmitting a locating signal, the apparatus comprising two sensors separated in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and a detector arranged to detect the vehicle by comparing the locating signals received by each of the two sensors.
