  • Method for early detection and anticipatory control of consumer-end load shedding in an electrical grid, and apparatus for carrying out the method
    Patent number: 9599999
    Abstract: A method for early detection and anticipatory control of consumer-end load shedding in a single-phase or polyphase electrical grid supplied with single phase or polyphase by at least one generator driven by at least one rotating machine includes measuring a current and a voltage between the at least one generator and the electrical grid and/or a current and a voltage in the electrical grid, deriving at least one signal from the measured current and voltage and using the at least one derived signal to act on the at least one rotating machine.
    Type: Grant

  • Converter control unit
    Patent number: 7973427
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a converter control unit or power system stabilizing unit for counteracting oscillations in electric power systems that is equipped and employed to provide and processes information for system-wide monitoring, protection, control and metering. It comprises means for synchronized (e.g. via GPS or another absolute/global time reference) sampling of voltages and/or currents, means for down-sampling in order to decrease the number of samples, and means for calculating phasors, i.e. time stamped amplitude and phase angle of the voltages and/or currents.
