Abstract:
The Remote Safety System is an electronic system that avoids the peril of electrocutions in high-tension electrical grids. It is characterized in that each switch has a lock with a safety key, which is blocked/unblocked by a remote unit (fig. 1) , and in that it exists a remote unit (fig. 2) for every point of the electrical grid needing repairs. The remote unit has set of working cards (17) that are distributed to workers, which are returned after the repairs have finished. When the safety key is blocked inside the central unit, the working cards (17) are unblocked inside the remote unit, and vice versa. The safety key is never unblocked at the same time of the working cards . Each central unit communicates with every remote unit using modems, or transceivers, or mobile phones.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-function smart-grid unit for saving energy and a method for operating same, in which a separate digital power meter, serially connected to a mechanical power meter, is installed inside the home of a household, and a standby-power outlet is connected to one or a part of one wall power outlet installed on a wall surface, thus allowing the standby-power to be reduced by means of the standby-power outlet to be of help to the home, and the electrical energy consumed by the household within a set area to be easily measured as well as the potential electrical energy consumption within a set area to be predicted by means of the digital power meter to allow electrical energy production to be easily planned.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include systems, methods, computer-readable media, and computer programs to determine and locate one or more faults on a distribution network in a high resistivity area. Embodiments of the present invention include a plurality of open conductor devices positioned on lateral ends of a plurality of distribution transformers. Each of the plurality of open conductor devices are configured to, for example, determine abnormal voltage readings and communicate such readings to a master station over a GSM/ GPRS communication network. The master station, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, is configured to determine or verify the presence of one or more faults on the distribution network and the location of the one or more faults.
Abstract:
A solar power conversion device has an embedded security module for creating trusted metering data in relation to power generated and for delivering it to a metering data output. The security module might for example be constructed as an integrated circuit card constructed using semiconductor chip fabrication and assembly techniques to be integral with the solar power conversion device. The device might comprise more than one solar cell mounted on a panel to form an array. There may further be provided a panel management module for collating data, for instance from multiple cells, prior to transmission over a network via the metering output. The panel management module might comprise for example a subscriber identity module and the metering data output may provide associated mobile telephone endpoint technology so that the metering data can be transmitted over an air interface.

Abstract:
The invention relates to monitoring the objects of the electric power industry. The aim of the invention is to improve the operational reliability of a device used in the form of an autonomous element of a system for telemonitoring the state of aerial power lines. The inventive device comprises a body provided with means for fixing it to an electric power line, a power unit and a measuring and transmitting module arranged therein. The variants of said invention provide for the incorporation of a means for interfacing with a community cellular telephone channel and/or a receiver of signals of a global positioning system provided with an identifier of the location thereof in a three-dimensional co-ordinate system, into the measuring transmitting and module. Said measuring and transmitting module can be embodied in the form of a control unit, a unit for receiving and transforming signals of the state of wires, a unit for pre-treating received data, a unit for acquisition or storing data, and a communication and data transmission unit. In such an embodiment, the means for interfacing with the cellular telephone channel and with the receiver of signals of a global positioning system are incorporated into the communication and data transmission unit and into the unit for receiving and transforming signals of the state of the wires, respectively.
