Proposed is a synchronous control method for a power conversion unit. The method allows the synchronous characteristic of a conventional generator to be emulated, the implementation of said method being based on a traditional current controller and on the control voltage generated. By defining a virtual electromotive force and the system control voltage, the method implements a synchronisation structure to maintain the stability of the system and generate a synchronous compensation current, thereby promoting the stability of the frequency and the voltage at the point of common coupling of the power conversion unit. The method also enables control and adjustment of the basic parameters of the system, inertia, the damping factor and the virtual impedance value, allowing the mains voltage and frequency to be improved and supported dynamically.

The present invention provides a system for manipulating matter by means of two acoustic confocal vortex beams (2, 3). More specifically, the invention relates to a system formed by at least one acoustic emitter that generates the vortex beams (2, 3) such that their topology charge and frequency differ. The superposition of the two beams (2, 3) produces an acoustic field (8) that winds helically along an axial axis (z), wherein the field structure rotates about the axis according to time and at a controllable frequency, which is given by the difference in the frequencies of the confocal beams. The uses of the invention include the manipulation of matter at an adjustable frequency, allowing it to be rotated, attracted and pushed, and also particle trapping and transverse-wave generation inside solid materials having configurable frequency and polarisation.
