Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling pressure bleed off by a bleed off valve assembly are disclosed. In some embodiments, a bleed off line is positioned along a main line. The bleed off line comprises a bleed off valve (BOV) and a first valve configured to provide fluid communication between the BOV and the main line. The BOV is configured to close under electrical energy to prevent the flow of the fluid through the BOV. When the electrical energy is removed, the BOV is operable to open under pressure from the fluid. The flow of the fluid through the BOV assembly may further be controlled by a choke and a choke saver positioned downstream of the BOV. In some embodiments, the electrically controlled BOV assembly is positioned parallel with a pressure relief system along the main line.

The determined vector impedance includes an impedance amplitude component and an impedance phase component. The impedance amplitude component and the impedance phase component are compared to a baseline impedance amplitude and a baseline impedance phase.

A ping signal is generated with a charging source coil when the object is determined to be present. A foreign object is detected based on whether a response signal to the ping signal is received from the object.
