  • System and methods for assigning slots and resolving slot conflicts in an electrical distribution grid
    Patent number: 10079765
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and resolving conflicts in transmissions from DTs located on the edge of an electrical power distribution grid. By examining the frame and time slot of the conflict and inferring a possible DT involved in the transmission conflict and reassigning the DT's transmission to another frame and time slot, the conflict should be resolved and the data being provided by the DT is not necessarily lost nor is its receipt unreasonably delayed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2018
    Assignees: Astrolink International LLC, Dominion Energy Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Henrik Fernand Bernheim, Jerritt Harold Hansell
  • System, method, and apparatus for grid location
    Patent number: 10020677
    Abstract: A computer system at a substation of an electrical grid examines on-grid communication channels and for very channel, the system compares and correlates a GLA signal provided by a downstream transmitter on that channel to a reference GLA signal. The channel that provided the signal with the best correlation is mostly likely the channel with the transmitter. Thus, the feeder and phase of the signal can be determined from the correlation of signals.
