Publication number: 20240072539Abstract: Distributed energy resources are validated by dispatching a distributed energy resources individually in known ambient conditions and monitoring the particular effect of dispatch to then establish a database of performance for multiple different distributed energy resources. The distributed energy resources can be permanently monitored to further build up this database and to verify that the distributed energy resource is performing consistent with its validation or other expected performance. Distributed energy resources of a slow responding variety and a fast responding variety can be paired together and dispatched together, so that the paired fast responding and slow responding distributed energy resources mimic a large fast responding distributed energy resource. The benefits of a high capacity fast responding distributed energy resource is thus provided, such as for the load shedding and grid support benefits thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Villara CorporationInventors: Michael Sean Day, Calvin R.

Publication number: 20110023506Abstract: The pre-cooler includes one or more cells which are oriented about an air stream to be cooled. A housing defines a perimeter of the cell with an inlet and outlet for air passing therethrough. Water outlet nozzles within the housing are preferably supported upon bars which orient the nozzles facing in a direction counter to flow of air through the housing. Each nozzle is coupled to a separate stage with multiple stages of nozzles coupled to separate valves. A controller opens or closes different valves. The controller measures ambient humidity and temperature conditions as well as air flow rates to calculate the amount of water to be added to the air and then opens appropriate numbers of stages of valves so that an appropriate number of nozzles spray water into the air to saturate the air. Flow rate control is thus provided without pressure variations, for optimal nozzle performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 5413165Abstract: Apparatus for heating or cooling the levels of a multi-story building. A single furnace-air conditioning unit is utilized to heat or cool the levels as dictated by the settings of thermostats in each level. An arrangement is employed to direct heated air from the upper level to the lower level during the heating cycle to lessen temperature differentials between the upper and lower levels.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1993Date of Patent: May 9, 1995Assignee: Beutler Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.Inventor: Calvin R. Wylie

Patent number: 5096156Abstract: Motorized damper apparatus including a conduit, a damper blade movably mounted within the conduit between an open position and a closed position, and mechanism including a motor for moving the damper blade between the open and closed positions. The damper blade is decoupled from the motor after movement of the damper blade from the closed position to the open position.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1991Date of Patent: March 17, 1992Assignee: Beutler Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.Inventors: Calvin R. Wylie, Michael A. Kuhlmann, Patrick H. Crites

Patent number: 5065585Abstract: A system for cooling the interior of a building which monitors the temperature differential between indoor and outdoor air, and provides outside ventilation and cooling when there is a demand for cooling and the indoor air temperature exceeds the outdoor air temperature by a predetermined degree. The system includes an air conditioner for supplementing the cooling effect provided by the outdoor air in a controlled manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1990Date of Patent: November 19, 1991Assignee: Beutler Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.Inventors: Calvin R. Wylie, Patrick H. Crites

Patent number: 4993629Abstract: Apparatus for modifying the temperatures of upper and lower level building interiors including air delivery means, heat generating means and first and second temperature sensing means for sensing the temperatures of the upper and lower level interiors. Air is delivered from the upper level interior to the lower level interior when there is a first sensed temperature differential between the interiors and the air is heated when the sensed differential drops to a predetermined lesser magnitude.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: February 19, 1991Assignee: Beutler Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.Inventor: Calvin R. Wylie
