US Patent:
20130207471, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Feb 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/757731
Inventors:
DEEPAKRAJ M. DIVAN - San Jose CA, US
ANISH PRASAI - San Jose CA, US
JORGE HERNENDEZ - Smyrna GA, US
ROHIT MOGHE - Atlanta GA, US
AMRIT LYER - Atlanta GA, US
RAJENDRA PRASAD KANDULA - Atlanta GA, US
International Classification:
H02J 3/00
US Classification:
307 43
Abstract:
Power flow controllers based on Imputed DC Link (IDCL) cells are provided. The IDCL cell is a self-contained power electronic building block (PEBB). The IDCL cell may be stacked in series and parallel to achieve power flow control at higher voltage and current levels. Each IDCL cell may comprise a gate drive, a voltage sharing module, and a thermal management component in order to facilitate easy integration of the cell into a variety of applications. By providing direct AC conversion, the IDCL cell based AC/AC converters reduce device count, eliminate the use of electrolytic capacitors that have life and reliability issues, and improve system efficiency compared with similarly rated back-to-back inverter system.

Trend Analysis Methods And System For Incipient Fault Prediction

US Patent:
20100161275, Jun 24, 2010
Filed:
Dec 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/642381
Inventors:
Mirrasoul Mousavi - Cary NC, US
Rohit Moghe - Atlanta GA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/18
US Classification:
702179
Abstract:
There is described herein the extension of the application of the Laplace Test Statistic for trend analysis and prediction of incipient faults for power systems. The extensions consider the situation where two parameters believed to contribute explicitly to the eventual failure are monitored. The developed extensions applied to actual incipient failure events provide promising results for prediction of the impending failure. It is demonstrated that by incorporating two parameters in the trend analysis, the robustness to outliers is increased and the flexibility is augmented by increasing the degrees of freedom in the generation of the alarm signal.

Systems And Methods For Edge Of Network Voltage Control Of A Power Grid

View page
US Patent:
20190089158, Mar 21, 2019
Filed:
Sep 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/130948
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Rohit Moghe - Atlanta GA, US
Anish Prasai - San Jose CA, US
Andrew Dillon - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
Varentec, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H02J 3/12
H02J 3/16
G05B 15/02
H02J 3/18
Abstract:
Systems and methods for an edge of network voltage control of a power grid are described. A system includes a distribution power network, a plurality of loads (at or near an edge of the distribution power network), and a plurality of shunt-connected, switch-controlled volt ampere reactive (VAR) sources also located at the edge or near the edge of the distribution power network where they may each detect a proximate voltage. The VAR source can determine whether to enable a VAR compensation component therein based on the proximate voltage and adjust network VAR by controlling a switch to enable the VAR compensation component. Further still, each of the VAR sources may be integrated within a customer-located asset, such as a smart meter, and a multitude of such VAR sources can be used to effectuate a distributed controllable VAR source (DCVS) cloud network.

US Patent:
20170040799, Feb 9, 2017
Filed:
Oct 21, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/331737
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
ROHIT MOGHE - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
Varentec, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H02J 3/12

Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling grid voltage include a distribution power network and one or more smart inverters at or near the edge of the distribution power network, each smart inverter configured to absorb or insert VARs to control the voltage based on a reference Q value, wherein the reference Q value is calculated by a reference Q calculator.

Controlling Demand And Energy Through Photovoltaic Inverters Delivering Vars

View page
US Patent:
20160094034, Mar 31, 2016
Filed:
Dec 9, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/964524
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
ROHIT MOGHE - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Varentec, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H02J 3/18
H02M 7/42
H02J 3/38
Abstract:
By virtue of the ability to vary local load via inverter (e.g., solar PV inverter) volt-ampere reactive power (VAR) injection, local demand and energy consumption can be controlled at a system level. Utilities that provide solar PV systems to consumers can leverage this ability to reduce the purchase of high cost energy. Moreover, revenue for such utilities can be maximized. For example, such localized voltage and VAR control allow for precise control to achieve, e.g., plus or minus about two percent of kW and kWHr of power consumed at a node.

Optimizing Voltage And Var On The Electric Grid Using Distributed Var Sources

View page
US Patent:
20150311718, Oct 29, 2015
Filed:
Apr 24, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/695880
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
ROHIT MOGHE - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Varentec, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H02J 3/18
Abstract:
A plurality of edge of network grid volt ampere reactive (VAR) sources are provided in a power system in order to effectuate control at a customer level, which in turn effectuates control at a feeder level, which in turn effectuates control of an entire power system or wide area electric grid network. By optimally selecting voltage setpoints and applying such voltage setpoints to the plurality of edge of network grid VAR sources, the power system can be configured to self-balance, power factor compensation can be determined without the need for measuring load power factor. Moreover, traditionally volatile voltages at the feeder can be flattened, and VAR control can be realized.
