Abstract: A control system configured to control switching of taps of an on-load tap changer provided on an electric power transformer. The on-load tap changer includes switches that are controllable to switch between transformer taps. The control system includes a detector configured to detect an indication of a zero crossing of a transformer voltage of the transformer and a control signal generator configured to generate a control signal that controls a switching of the switches for performing a tap change to a new transformer tap. The control signal generator is configured to determine the timing of the control signal for changing the transformer tap based on the detected indication of the zero crossing of the transformer voltage such that the switching of at least one of the switches for performing the tap change occurs a predetermined time prior to a zero crossing of a tap voltage at the new transformer tap.

Abstract: A battery system may include multiple battery cells grouped into modules. Each battery module may have a diffuser plate to direct the hot gases and molten material that are ejected during cell failure. The gas and material may be directed away from the nearest neighboring cells in the event of a single cell thermal runaway. Residual thermal energy is wicked away, absorbed or contained to keep heat away from the neighboring cells. These and other features may manage the blast energy and residual thermal energy of a single cell failure event. This may prevent a cascading failure of the larger battery system, thereby mitigating the risk of injury to personnel and property.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing Customer Relationship Management data between a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) CRM provider and a mobile device. This method enables both read and write access from the mobile device whether a network connection to the SaaS provider is available or not. The method involves creating a local mobile device database to track portions or all of the SaaS provider database. In the case where a network separation occurs and the device and SaaS databases diverge, the synchronization method may be used to make the mobile device database and the SaaS database consistent and coherent again. In one embodiment, multiple local database tables are used to represent a single SaaS CRM table to facilitate synchronization, and a status indicator is used to visually and quickly convey status to the mobile user.

Abstract: A computer system for real-time coordinated operation of power distribution systems and electric vehicles identifies a set of integrated hybrid resources (IHRs), wherein each IHR within the set of IHRs comprises one or more of: energy storage (ES) systems, solar generating units, electric vehicles (EVs), and/or inflexible loads. The computer system executes, at an IHR selected from the set of IHRs, a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm, the DDPG algorithm utilizing a critic deep neural network and an actor deep neural network. The critic deep neural network estimates a Q-value of an action for a given state, and the actor deep neural network estimates a best action for the given state. Based upon an output of the DDPG algorithm, the computer system generates a charging schedule for the ES systems and the EVs within the IHR.
