    摘要: Distributed maximum power point tracking systems, structures, and processes are provided for power generation structures, such as for but not limited to a solar panel arrays. In an exemplary solar panel string structure, distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) modules are provided, such as integrated into or retrofitted for each solar panel. The DMPPT modules provide panel level control for startup, operation, monitoring, and shutdown, and further provide flexible design and operation for strings of multiple panels. The strings are typically linked in parallel to a combiner box, and then toward and enhanced inverter module, which is typically connected to a power grid. Enhanced inverters are controllable either locally or remotely, wherein system status is readily determined, and operation of one or more sections of the system are readily controlled. The system provides increased operation time, and increased power production and efficiency, over a wide range of operating conditions.

    摘要: A circuit is protected from sudden potential fluctuations that occur in a power ground. An in-vehicle protection apparatus includes a first Zener diode portion, a second Zener diode portion, a diode portion, and an intermediate conductive path. A voltage based on a power source is applied to the anode side of the diode portion. The intermediate conductive path is provided with a branch portion at one end, and forms a path between the cathode of the diode portion and the branch portion. The cathode of the first Zener diode portion is electrically connected to the branch portion and the anode of the first Zener diode portion is electrically connected to a power ground line. The cathode of the second Zener diode portion is electrically connected to the branch portion and the anode of the second Zener diode portion is electrically connected to a signal ground line.

    摘要: A method and system for suppressing EMP-induced voltage surges due to detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude generating an EMP (HEMP) comprising E1, E2, and E3 component pulses. Surge protection assemblies are positioned intermediate a signal stream and a plurality of electronic device ports associated with a plurality of communication channels of networked devices. Single-channel multimode surge suppressing systems are combined to form multi-port multimode protection systems that connect directly to multiport networked devices supporting communication channels with mixed signals data and direct current power in Gigabit Ethernet networks supporting PoE. The surge suppressing systems mitigate differential and common mode induced interference and protect from overvoltage surges associated with E1, E2, and E3 components of the HEMP and mitigate the over-voltages to predetermined allowable levels within the predetermined time. The surge suppressing systems is interoperable with multimode PoE and support endpoint and midspan PoE devices of Gigabit networks.
