Patents by Inventor Jorge Filipe PINHEIRO MARTINS

Jorge Filipe PINHEIRO MARTINS has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12158489
    Abstract: A system for real-time continuous and remote monitoring of the progressive degradation of insulators installed in Electric Power Transmission Networks, namely in Very High Voltage electric Lines (VHVL), which can be applied at lower voltage levels (High and Medium Voltage). The principle of operation is based on the identification of the occurrence of leakage currents in the insulators by registering the current intensities, the periods of the occurrences, and local measurements of temperature and relative humidity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11848562
    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station for connecting to a span of a high or extra high voltage transmission line, comprising: a tap for connecting to the span of the transmission line; a substation comprising one or more power voltage transformers; a plurality of electric vehicle chargers. The power voltage transformers are station service voltage transformers, auxiliary service voltage transformers, or power VTs. Said power voltage transformers may be star-delta transformers or star-star transformers. Said tap may comprises, for each phase of the transmission line: an insulator for linking a first and a second interrupted conductor points of an interrupted transmission line conductor; a drop conductor connected between the first interrupted conductor point and said substation; a shunt connector connected between the second interrupted conductor point and a point of the drop conductor or connected between the first and second interrupted conductor points.
