  • Publication number: 20240170969
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating a medium voltage microgrid operation to manage critical loads are disclosed. The system includes at least two fuel cell systems that operate in one of at least two operating modes including a grid-forming mode and a grid-following mode, based on an operation of at least two utility feeders of a grid. The system includes a controller that receives values corresponding to electrical parameter(s) from at least two utility circuit breakers and a load circuit breaker, detects availability status of the utility circuit breakers to supply power to corresponding at least two portions of the critical load, and a connection status of the load circuit breaker, based on the values, and facilitates the at least two fuel cell systems to operate in one of the at least two operating modes. Further, the system is scalable, redundant, and reliable, and reliability and redundancy are customizable.

  • Patent number: 11309571
    Abstract: A power generating system includes power modules disposed in vertically stacked levels, exhaust plenums that extend vertically through the levels of power modules and are configured to receive exhaust output from the power modules, and an exhaust conduit that extends horizontally across an uppermost level of the power modules and is fluidly connected to the exhaust plenums.

  • Patent number: 9558271
    Abstract: A method of matching job profiles with a candidate profile is disclosed. A plurality of concepts corresponding to an ontology is extracted from a candidate profile. A normalized candidate profile is generated, wherein the normalized candidate profile includes the plurality of concepts. A search query is formed at least in part based on the normalized candidate profile and the ontology. The search query is submitted to a source of job profiles. An initial batch of job profiles potentially matching the candidate profile is received from the source of job profiles. At least a subset of the plurality of concepts corresponding to the ontology is extracted from a job profile among the batch of job profiles. A normalized job profile is generated, wherein the normalized job profile includes the at least a subset of the plurality of concepts. Whether the normalized candidate profile matches with the normalized job profile is determined.
