    摘要: Various embodiments provide methods and systems for monitoring and controlling electrical components of an electrical distribution network. In an embodiment, a method, performed by an automated controller, includes receiving values corresponding to electrical parameter(s) associated with multiple connection points in the electrical distribution network, the values being acquired via electrical sensor(s). The method also includes transmitting the values to a local area supervisory controller, upon receiving a measurements-related request. The method further includes receiving a control message from the local area supervisory controller, the control message including predefined conditions and information indicating the automated controller to wait for the predefined conditions to be met between two connection points having a connection point to which a distributed energy resource (DER) is connected. The method further includes controlling an operation of contactor(s) positioned between the two connection points based at least on the predefined conditions.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and methods for energy systems that include one or more modules are configured to connect to a power grid. Each module outputs a respective voltage waveform and/or a current waveform to a load. A controller is configured to periodically cause at least a portion of the one or more modules to output an increased voltage and/or current level at a specified harmonic frequency. An islanding detector is configured to detect, based on an impedance of the grid, when the one or more modules are in an island condition.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods are disclosed for monitoring the operation of an electrical power-transfer system and detecting and handling hazardous and undesirable system states. In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical signal is injected into the electrical power-transfer system. During or after the injection of the electrical signal, an electrical property between a first sensor and a second sensor are measured to obtain a measurement. The electrical power-transfer system is determined to be in a hazardous state based on the measurement, and in response to the determination one or more actions are performed to correct the hazardous state.

    摘要: Provided is a method for detecting overloading of devices for load transfer in an open-loop power grid, including: constructing a power supply tree graph; determining a target device and a standby power supply; determining a target node, a target set, and one or more target subsets; for each of the target subsets, determining nodes in said target subset between which the parent-child relationship is reversed due to the load transfer, and performing overload detection on each device corresponding to one of the nodes or an edge on a path connecting the nodes; and determining two nodes between which a direct parent-child relationship is generated from nonexistence due to the load transfer, and performing overload detection on each device corresponding to a node or an edge on a path connecting a parent node of the two nodes and a common parent node.

    摘要: Systems and methods comprising a metering device located on an electricity distribution grid, the metering device comprising one or more processors and memory. The metering device can detect a drop in characteristic of electricity below a threshold indicating a fault on the electricity distribution grid. The metering device can generate, responsive to the drop in the characteristic of electricity below the threshold, a time series of a rate of change of the characteristic of electricity for a predetermined number of cycles subsequent to the detection of the drop. The metering device can determine, based on a comparison of the time series of the rate of change with a predetermined pattern, a location of the metering device on the electricity distribution grid relative to a location of the fault on the electricity distribution grid.

    摘要: An electronic device and a method for management of power supply in enclosed space is provided. The electronic device determines first information indicating a disruption in a main power supply of a first enclosed space. The electronic device determines second information which indicates a power consumption of one or more electrical appliances in the first enclosed space based on the determined first information. The electronic device further determines third information associated with one or more secondary power supplies in the first enclosed space. The electronic device further applies a trained ML model on the determined first information, the second information, and the third information and determines scheduling information based on the application of the ML model. The electronic device further controls the one or more secondary power supplies to power the one or more electrical appliances, based on the determined scheduling information.
