Publication number: 20240146099Abstract: A load shed module configured to be connected in series between a power supply and a load is disclosed. A separate load shed module is connected in series between each load and the power supply. The load shed module determines the frequency of the voltage supplied from the power supply. Based on the frequency, the load shed module determines if utility power is connected or if a generator is connected. If the generator is connected and the frequency of the voltage goes outside of a desired operating range for a preset time, the load shed module disconnects the load from the power supply. Each load shed module includes a priority setting and reconnects its corresponding load after a predetermined time corresponding to the priority setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Generac Power Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brendan Pancheri, Greg Wischstadt, Robert Iles, Andy Phillips, Taesik Yu, Sungmin Lee

Patent number: 9254738Abstract: A hybrid electric drive system for a hybrid powered vehicle which includes a combustion engine, and a transmission. An electric machine and the combustion engine are coupled to the transmission in the hybrid electric drive system providing engine and/or electric machine drive power for the vehicle. A clutch is mechanically communicating with and positioned between the combustion engine and the transmission to decouple the combustion engine from the transmission. An energy storage system is configured to transfer and receive power with the electric machine, and is configured to recharge using power from the electric machine. A hybrid system controller is configured to respond to a regenerative braking mode of the vehicle. While the hybrid electric drive system is in the regenerative braking mode, the hybrid system controller is configured to initiate shifting of the transmission into one or more selected gears relating to one or more selected electric machine speeds.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: BAE SYSTEMS CONTROLS, INC.Inventors: Jurgen Schulte, Fillippo Muggeo, Derek Matthws, Brendan Pancheri
