    摘要: Solar electricity is used more efficiently and at lower cost via the technique of interrupted DC power. Interrupted DC removed the spark problem from high voltage DC circuits, allowing their use with normal appliances. Wasteful and expensive inductor based voltage changes were avoided by adjusting solar panel output voltage via loading. This provided prioritization of use among appliances. Furthermore, the extreme decrease in sparking obtained by interrupted DC allows for the manufacture and use of lower cost direct current circuit breakers that are self powered and provide protected circuits of greater than 99% direct current purity.

    摘要: An anti-fuse having two electrical connections is constructed by adding at least one zener diode and resistor to a power MOSFET. When the voltage across the two electrical connections exceeds the zener diode voltage and the maximum gate voltage of the MOSFET, the MOSFET burns out. This shorts out the device which can be used to bypass an LED or other load when that load burns out and forms an open circuit.

    摘要: Direct current (“DC”) power such as from solar panels is used by home appliances directly without conversion to AC. The large direct current spark problem is alleviated by interrupting the DC current at periodicities of at least 120 hertz and typically 99 percent duty cycle. This interrupted DC power is less harmful to switches and circuit breakers than equivalent AC power. Furthermore, the interrupted DC power is used with greater efficiency by computers, and can be used to power a wide range of appliances. Exceptions are inductive appliances, which are detected and treated differently, by a smart power receptacle embodiment. These embodiments provide a very low cost and efficient path to an all DC electric power future.

    摘要: Direct current electric grids are provided that allow independent power generation and consumption at the neighborhood level. In an embodiment power is uploaded and downloaded to each node via monitoring of node voltage and setting high vs low priority loads to optimize for maximum power usage. Embodiments allow a new paradigm wherein electrical supply is set by total available installed power generation and wherein all available power is used, via prioritization. New apparatuses and circuits are provided that provide higher efficiency by utilizing solar power generated at low light conditions and by minimizing the number of power alteration steps between power generator and power consuming device.
