    Abstract: A protection device includes a diode having its forward direction in a normal power flow of a region of a DC collection system, a first switch in parallel with the diode, a second switch in series with the diode and a control unit for controlling the switches. The first switch can be opened so that current can flow through the diode in the forward direction without the first switch bypassing the diode, and closed if no current is flowing through the diode in the forward direction and power is needed upstream of the diode. The second switch can be closed so that current can flow through the diode in the forward direction to an AC grid interface of the DC collection system, and opened if no current is flowing through the diode in the forward direction due to a fault in a DC feeder to which the device is coupled.

    Abstract: While transient current magnitudes at different locations within a DC distribution system themselves are not a reliable indicator of fault location, it is recognized herein that accumulating energy or pseudo energy values provides a reliable basis for tripping the protection element at a fault location. Thus, in one aspect of the teachings herein, pseudo energy values are accumulated independently during a fault condition, for each of one or more protected branch circuits and the protection element for each such branch circuit is tripped responsive to the accumulated pseudo energy values reaching a defined pseudo energy threshold. The pseudo energy thresholds are defined so that the protection element in the branch circuit where the fault is located will trip first.

    Abstract: A control apparatus and corresponding control method use per-unit filtering in a plurality of power-sharing controllers, to obtain a power-sharing command signal for respective ones among a plurality of different energy storage units in a hybrid energy storage system. The hybrid energy storage system includes two or more types of energy storage units and the power-sharing command signal for each energy storage unit is obtained by filtering an input signal using a filter having a filter response that is tailored to the energy storage characteristics of the energy storage unit. The input signal reflects load variations on the electrical grid and may be locally generated or provided by a remote node. While the power-sharing control loops used for each energy storage unit advantageously may be the same in terms of architecture and implementation, each loop uses tailored, dedicated filtering and, possibly, individualized values of one or more other control parameters.
