System And Method For Routing Power Across Multiple Microgrids Having Dc And Ac Buses
view source
US Patent:

8447435, May 21, 2013
Filed:

Apr 15, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/760631
Inventors:

Landon Cabell Garland Miller - Tuscalooosa AL, US
David Michael Barrett - Burtonsville MD, US
John Patrick Kajs - Austin TX, US
Assignee:

Science Applications International Corporation - San Diego CA
International Classification:

H02J 1/00
US Classification:

700297, 700286
Abstract:

Systems and methods are described herein for managing the operations of a plurality of microgrid modules. A microgrid module includes transformers and/or power converters necessary for modifying the input AC or DC power sources to meet the required characteristics of the output power. The microgrid module further comprises a control software module and a power router software module. The control software module receives data from sensors in the microgrid module and controls the flow of power with controllable elements. The power router software module controls the operation of the power router. The power router can detect changes in demand for power within the microgrid module or from other microgrid modules. The power router can adjust the flow of power between the microgrid modules in response to changes in the supply of power to the microgrid module and changes in the demand for power from the microgrid module.

US Patent:

53609999, Nov 1, 1994
Filed:

Feb 25, 1993
Appl. No.:

8/023808
Inventors:

Jim L. Upshaw - Austin TX
Jonathan J. Hahne - Austin TX
Richard J. Hayes - Austin TX
Raymond C. Zowarka - Austin TX
John P. Kajs - Austin TX
Robert L. Sledge - Austin TX
Assignee:

Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:

H01H 3900
US Classification:

307112
Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided for controlling the switching characteristics of an explosively actuated switch. The switch comprises a conductor that is only partially severed by explosive forces. A bridge region, the conductive portion of the conductor remaining after the explosion, is then severed by thermal breakdown. Variations in the bridge region enable a user to vary the switching characteristics of the switch.
