摘要： Systems and methods for softly restarting a power network using an inverter-controlled energy storage system are provided. In response to an event such as a fault or other condition, a power network bus that provides power to one or more industrial loads (e.g. motors) can be disconnected from the utility grid. Instead of automatically recoupling the power network bus to the grid after a specified time period, a soft restart is accomplished by pre-energizing the power network bus with an energy storage system (ESS) according to a ramp up process and synchronizing the power network bus with the utility grid while the power network bus operates in an islanded mode. The power network bus can then be reconnected to the utility grid, for instance, by reclosing the one or more circuit breakers coupled between the power network bus and the utility grid.

摘要： A vacuum gap switch is closely coupled with a saturable inductor, providing the high voltage standoff triggering range, and very fast recovery of a vacuum switch, without the drawbacks of poor turn-on performance, large jitter, and high power dissipation usually seen in vacuum gap switches.

摘要： Disclosed is an apparatus and methodology for generating operating power for various desired applications using solar energy. A solar array is formed using a small number of solar cells connected in series to form a string of solar cells and then connecting multiple strings in parallel. Unlike conventional solar arrays, no bypass diodes are incorporated into the array. A power converter is coupled to the array to boost output voltage to a level sufficient to operate the desired application. The power converter may be operated independently or based on output levels of the array, the material from which the solar cells of the array are constructed and the operating temperature of the array or combinations thereof.
