  • Patent number: 10073129
    Abstract: Method for detecting an electric arc in a photovoltaic installation, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: Measurement (E6) of voltage values at at least one site of the electrical circuit of the photovoltaic installation; Digitization (E8) of the measured voltage values so as to form a data sampling x; Computation (E10) of a first indicator of presence of an electric arc, on the basis of a statistical computation on the data sampling x, from among the variance, a value analogous to the variance, or the interquartile range of the data sampling; Computation (E10) of a second indicator of presence of an electric arc, on the basis of a statistical computation on the data sampling based on one or more estimations of the mean and/or of the median of the data sampling; Comparison (E12) of the first and second indicators of presence of an electric arc with respective thresholds so as to deduce therefrom the presence or absence of an electric arc within the photovoltaic installation.

  • Patent number: 9871364
    Abstract: A method for detecting an electrical arc in a photovoltaic installation includes measurement (E6) of voltage values at at least one point of the electrical circuit of the photovoltaic installation; digitization (E8) of the measured voltage values to form a sampling of data x; calculation (E10) of an estimation value y of the presence of an electrical arc based on a statistical calculation on the sampling of data and the inclusion of an omission factor ?; and comparison (E12) of the estimation value y of the presence of an electrical arc with a threshold value to deduce therefrom the presence or absence of an electrical arc in the photovoltaic installation.

  • Publication number: 20170227610
    Abstract: A method implemented by computer for managing the recharging of a battery of an electric vehicle, comprises the steps of carrying out a recharging cycle of the battery of the electric vehicle; measuring the total energy stored by the battery; calculating the variance associated with the total energy; and determining a coefficient associated with the variance. In one development, the step of determining the coefficient associated with the variance is recursive. Various developments are described, which comprise the use of predefined and/or configurable thresholds, the emission of alarms, the use of white noise distributed according to a heavy-tailed law (e.g. Student) and the use of a Kalman filter. System and software aspects are described.
