  • Circuits for electricity-generating units
    Patent number: 11441915
    Abstract: A system receives locations of a plurality of electricity-generating units in an area, and it divides the area into a plurality of sectors. The system traverses through the sectors and forms a set of sectors. The set of sectors includes a set of electricity-generating units. The set of electricity-generating units does not exceed an aggregate voltage threshold. The system forms a circuit with the set of electricity-generating units by determining a shortest path to connect the set of electricity-generating units. The system adjusts this shortest path to incorporate environmental and physical constraints.
    Type: Grant
