  • Ultracapacitor generator start module
    Patent number: 11764002
    Abstract: An energy storage system and energy storage module for providing electrical energy to a generator start energy system or other electrically driven system. One or more ultracapacitors are included within the energy storage module for storing and providing electrical charge via a two-post electrical connection of the energy storage module. A mountable housing of the energy storage module provides a variety of mounting orientations within a compartment of the generator start energy system or other electrically driven system.

  • Ultracapacitor pitch energy module
    Patent number: 11624348
    Abstract: A pitch energy module comprising one or more ultracapacitors storing electrical energy for a wind turbine emergency pitch energy event. The pitch energy module replaces at least one battery within a battery housing of a wind turbine and interfaces with the existing battery wiring harness to communicate with a control system of the wind turbine. The pitch energy module is installed without further modification to the battery housing or the battery wiring harness.

  • Insulator with conductive dissipative coating
    Patent number: 11257652
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a conductive coating on an insulator of an x-ray tube and a method for applying the conductive coating. The method may use a first process, such as brazing, to join a support to the insulator and a second process, such as vapor deposition, to apply the conductive coating onto a substrate surface of the insulator. The second process may be carried out after the first process without any damage to x-ray tube insulator assembly.
