Duty cycle based AC power control with reduced voltage fluctuations

Duty cycle based AC power control with reduced voltage fluctuations

A duty cycle based AC power control method reduces objectionable voltage fluctuations at a frequency that causes "flicker" by shifting the frequency of actuations of controlled devices to frequencies significantly greater than and/or less than the flicker sensitive frequency. The frequency...

description A duty cycle based AC power control method reduces objectionable voltage fluctuations at a frequency that causes "flicker" by shifting the frequency of actuations of controlled devices to frequencies significantly greater than and/or less than the flicker sensitive frequency. The frequency of actuations may be redistributed (1) by segmenting the devices to provide approximately equal power requirements per actuation, (2) by providing one-half cycle actuation pulses rather than one cycle actuation pulses, and/or (3) by spacing the actuations evenly over a given time period and forcing the aggregate demand to follow a slowly rising/falling envelope. The result is the minimization of power distribution at the flicker frequency.
