Abstract:
A switching device including a breaker electrically connectable to an electrical conductor, and an at least partially electrically conductive housing to which the breaker is mounted, the housing having an outer surface. The breaker includes an electrically conductive first contact and an electrically conductive second contact, the second contact being movable and in relation to the first contact and in relation to the housing, and when the first and second contacts are in contact the breaker is in a closed position, and when the first and second contacts are separated the breaker is in an open position. The switching device is arranged to provide a current path between the breaker and the electrical conductor, and the housing houses a guiding member for operating the second contact, the guiding member being movable in relation to the housing, wherein the guiding member includes a biasing assembly.
Abstract:
Exemplary controllers in a system are associated with technical entities and are configured to selectively execute tasks in a primary mode when the controllers interact with the associated technical entities with respect to the tasks, and to execute tasks in a secondary mode when the controllers do not interact with the associated technical entities with respect to the task. The system distributes task instructions of a first task to a first controller that is configured to execute the first task in the primary mode, and to distribute the task instructions of the first task to a second controller that is configured to execute the first task in the secondary mode. The system distributes task instructions of a second task to the second controller that is configured to execute the second task in the primary mode.
Abstract:
A gas insulated switching device with a gastight housing, with switching elements mounted in the housing, having an optical window on which an external camera can be positioned outside the housing on a support element in such, that the contacts and/or the contact positions of one or more switches can be displayed by this camera on a display screen, and with a switchable light source, which illuminates the area the camera is focused on to display the contact positions of one or more switches, as well as a camera system having the switching device. For easier and more cost effective use of a camera system, considering that direct optical control of specific switch positions are often not desired, the camera may be portable and/or positionable only temporarily, and the support element and the camera itself are provided with complementary elements for temporarily positioning the portable camera to the support.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitoring and management of a power distribution system are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving sensory measurement data captured by a mobile inspection device during an inspection of power distribution system elements in a power distribution system. The method further includes processing the received sensory measurement data to derive fault identification data that indicates a fault condition existing in one or more of the power distribution system elements and utilizing the derived fault identification data to update a network model of the power distribution system.
Abstract:
A method recognizes wear of a flow meter, involving measuring a baseline of a characteristic of the flow meter, operating under operating conditions, as a configuration, over a calibration period; forming an average value of the baseline, and defining a reference value, an upper limit, and a lower limit, based on the average value, and cyclically measuring the baseline of the characteristic, in a measuring over a measuring period, during wear-causing operation of the flow meter; forming the average value; comparing this average value to the upper and lower limits; and issuing a warning signal when the upper limit is exceeded or when the lower limit is fallen below.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments relate to a method for adapting graphic representation on a user interface of a computer user station for the graphic representation of data of an industrial processing plant. Input signals received on or at the computer user station result in a size change of the graphic representation by zooming of the predefinable display region on the user interface or the selection of an object field of the graphic representation. The object field being located in the graphic representation at an associated object field position, for display or user interaction. With the selection of an object field for display or user interaction, the size of the object field on the user interface is fixed for display or user interaction, even if zooming of the graphic representation results in other data of the graphic representation not being readable or activatable by a user.
Abstract:
A turbine-based energy generation system includes an electric generator and auxiliary load. A power system for the turbine-based energy generation system includes a main converter and an auxiliary converter. The main converter is operable to deliver power generated by the electric generator to a power collection system external to the turbine-based energy generation system when the main converter is coupled to the generator. The main converter is also operable to deliver power provided from the power collection system to the auxiliary converter when the main converter is decoupled from the generator. The auxiliary converter is operable to deliver power generated by the electric generator to the auxiliary load when the auxiliary converter is coupled to the generator. The auxiliary converter is also operable to deliver the power provided by the main converter from the power collection system to the auxiliary load when the auxiliary converter is decoupled from the generator.
Abstract:
An interlock structure is coupled between actuating structure and a travel adjuster of a circuit breaker. The interlock structure includes a body having a bore therein. An engaging member has a portion sized to be received by the bore and the engaging member is coupled with the travel adjuster for movement therewith. A slide member is movable with respect to the body between operative and inoperative positions. Linkage structure is coupled to the slide member for moving the slide member and is also coupled to the actuating structure such that upon movement of the actuating structure, the linkage structure moves the slide member to the operative position so that the slide member blocks at least a portion of the bore to prevent the engaging member from entering the bore and thus prevents the travel adjuster from moving in a certain direction to allow the closure of the circuit breaker contacts.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing cartographic information of an electrical component in a power network. The cartographic information may include geographic coordinates and a type of the electrical component. The method can include obtaining a visual representation of the electrical component, wherein the visual representation contains location information about where the visual representation was made; determining the geographic coordinates of the electrical component based on the location information of the visual representation; and identifying the type of the electrical component by matching the visual representation with the predefined models relating to available kind of electrical components.
Abstract:
Mounting structure is provided for mounting a tank to support structure. The tank has a flange extending from a body thereof. The mounting structure includes at least a pair of first bores extending into the flange in a first direction. At least a pair of second bores. Each second bore extends into the flange in a direction generally transverse with respect to an associated first bore so that each second bore communicates with the associated first bore. A pin is disposed in each of the second bores. Each pin has a threaded pin bore that aligns axially with the associated first bore. A bolt is disposed through a bolt hole in the support structure, into an associated first bore and in threaded engagement with the threaded pin bore of an associated pin so as to secure the tank to the support structure.
