Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling operation of wind turbine generators (WTGs) in a hybrid power plant including both WTGs and PV modules. The method includes steps of: monitoring at least one operating parameter for one or more of the WTGs; monitoring at least one operating parameter for one or more of the PV modules; and controlling operation of the WTGs in dependence on the monitored operating parameters in order to control blade shadows cast by the WTGs on the PV modules and thereby optimise the power output of the PV modules, for example by reducing the blade shadow area cast on the PV modules.

Abstract: A method for quantum classification and operation control includes radiating a vacuum chamber having an ensemble of neutral atoms with laser so as to trap atoms and form a quantum register. The method further includes the step of configuring a laser controlling function with M unitary operations based on a cost function for classification problems and a training dataset about a monitored target, radiating the ensemble of atoms accordingly, reading the quantum register, and setting a quantum classifier if the cost function with the values of the quantum register meet a condition, keep changing the laser controlling function and radiating the ensemble of atoms otherwise until a convergence condition is met, at which point the quantum classifier is set.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying an earth fault in a resonant grounded medium voltage network that employs a REFCL compensation system. The method derives a zero-sequence real power from a phase voltage to ground on each phase and a current on each phase and aligns the zero-sequence real power in time with a magnitude of a zero-sequence voltage provided by the REFCL compensation system. The method determines when the zero-sequence real power and the zero-sequence voltage exceed predetermined thresholds. The method delays the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage for a predetermined period of time when the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold and determines that the fault is occurring when both the time aligned zero-sequence real power exceeds the threshold and the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold for the predetermined period of time at the same time.

Abstract: A pump assembly with a pump unit comprising an impeller for pumping fluid, an electric motor for driving the impeller, a control module for controlling the speed of the electric motor in a control mode, and an interface for receiving a pulse width modulated (PWM) control signal with a duty cycle indicative of the speed of the electric motor. The control module is configured to interpret the PWM control signal at start-up of the electric motor per default in a configuration mode as a configuration bit sequence based on the duty cycle of the PWM control signal during a pre-determined configuration window.
