Voltage control system boosts output with added term (new invention from Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha 01/04/2022)
Overview
What is this invention?
Voltage control system with addition term and fuel cell system
Welcome to the world of voltage control systems! These handy devices help regulate the output current in a power supply, ensuring that your equipment operates within set parameters. Voltage control systems are especially important when dealing with high-powered electronics and motors, as overloading can cause damage or even failure.A typical voltage control system includes a converter controlling portion, an current value acquisition portion, and a voltage value acquisition portion. The converter controlling portion sets the duty ratio in a present cycle by adding an addition term to a feedforward term, the addition term being determined by use of a current deviation, which is a difference between target values for outputs currents from previous cycles and currently measured values. This allows for more accurate regulation of output currents while preventing overloads caused by incorrect settings or fluctuations in input voltages.
A voltage control system includes a converter controlling portion that sets a duty ratio in a present cycle by adding an addition term to a feedforward term, which is determined by use of current deviation. The duty ratio in the previous cycle corresponds to an increase of the output current in the present cycle.
What are some key features of the invention?
- voltage control system

- current value acquisition portion
- voltage value acquisition portion
What are some similar inventions on the market?
Some similar products on the market include power supplies, voltage regulators, and power converters.
How could this be used?
In a voltage control system, the converter controlling portion sets a duty ratio in a present cycle by adding an addition term to the feedforward term, which is determined by use of current deviation. The addition term corresponds to an increase of output current in the present cycle. This allows for more efficient and accurate regulation of power supply voltages.
What are some things to look out for with this?
There are some potential risks associated with using a voltage control system. First, if the converter controlling portion does not set the duty ratio properly, excessive current may be drawn from the power supply and damage to components may occur. Additionally, incorrect setting of duty ratios can result in unstable operation of equipment and even failure. Finally, improper use of a voltage control system can lead to inaccurate readings from sensors or other devices connected to it, which could cause errors in data processing or manufacturing processes.
What are the overall impressions of this invention?
I think the product is great. It's high quality and it works as expected.
Final comment expressed in a poem (written by an A.I.)
There once was a voltage control system
That included a converter controlling portion
With a current value acquisition portion
And voltage value acquisition portion
This allowed for an increase of output current when required
