Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically controlling a plurality of photovoltaic (PV) inverters is provided. The method is implemented by a dynamic photovoltaic (DP) controller in communication with a user interface. The method includes receiving, from an electrical meter, an electrical value of a plurality of electrical values associated with an inverter of the plurality of PV inverters, where the electrical meter is associated with point of interconnection between the plurality of inverters and an electrical grid, calculating, an electrical metric based on the electrical value, generating, a command signal for the inverter based on the calculated electrical metric, transmitting the command signal to the inverter, the command signal configured to change an output power level of the inverter, and causing the inverter to change the power level via the command signal.

Abstract: A gating voltage control system and method are provided for electrostatically actuating a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) device, e.g., a MEMS switch. The device may comprise an electrostatically responsive actuator movable through a gap for actuating the device to a respective actuating condition corresponding to one of a first actuating condition (e.g., a closed switching condition) and a second actuating condition (e.g., an open switching condition). The gating voltage control system may comprise a drive circuit electrically coupled to a gate terminal of the device to apply a gating voltage. The gating voltage control system may further comprise a controller electrically coupled to the drive circuit to control the gating voltage applied to the gating terminal in accordance with a gating voltage control sequence.
