Publication number: 20240160168Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer program products are provided dynamically generating a power system structure representation. The method includes providing one or more element icons that is engageable to be added to a power system structure representation. The one or more element icons are each a representative of a physical element that can be used in the power system structure. The method also includes receiving an indication of a first element icon of the one or more element icons to be used in the power system structure. The method further includes assigning the first element icon to one of a plurality of element cells of the power system structure representation. The method also includes determining a cell action configured to indicate a relationship between the cell in which the first element icon is assigned and at least one other of the plurality of elements cells of the power system structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Direct Energy Partners International CorporationInventors: Giel Van den Broeck, Dusan Brhlik

Publication number: 20140306531Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selectively applying DC power from a variable voltage DC power bus to a DC load. The ballast includes at least one switch coupled between the DC power bus and the DC load. A processor is coupled to the at least one switch and controls the operation of the at least one switch. A non-transient computer-readable memory stores instructions that are executed by the processor to control the operation of the processor. The processor determines a voltage on the variable voltage DC power bus and defines a pulse-width modulate power control signal based on the determined voltage. The at least one switch is then operated based on the pulse-width modulated power control signal to apply DC power from the DC power bus to the DC load at a first frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2014Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Scott M.
