Abstract: A fluid monitoring module includes an enclosure, a fluid sensing device assembled with the enclosure, and a controller disposed within the enclosure. The fluid sensing device includes a body member defining a fluid port external to the enclosure and a male threaded sensor port mounted to the enclosure and extending laterally into the enclosure, a female threaded nut assembled with the sensor port, a fluid sensor seated against a counterbore portion of the sensor port, and a retaining collar having a neck portion extending into the sensor port in engagement with the fluid sensor and a head portion captured between the female threaded nut and an end face of the sensor port. The controller is in circuit communication with the fluid sensor for receiving at least one of pressure indicating signals and temperature indicating signals from the fluid sensor, and for measuring fluid data based on the received signals.

Abstract: A flow sensing device includes a first body member defining an inlet port, an upstream sensor port, and a first connecting port; a second body member defining an outlet port, a downstream sensor port, and a second connecting port; a flow restricting element defining a flow restricting passage and including a first end connection coupled to the first connecting port and a second end connection coupled to the second connecting port, such that the flow restricting passage is disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port, and between the upstream sensor port and the downstream sensor port; a first fluid sensor assembled with the upstream sensor port; and a second fluid sensor assembled with the downstream sensor port.

Abstract: Controlling an energy storage system includes accessing monitored sensor data and component data, if the DC bus voltage is less than the renewable energy power module (REPM) output voltage then selecting battery modules in combination with a power-network inverter to source power to the bus, else if greater than the REPM voltage then selecting battery modules in combination with the inverter to sink power from the bus, instructing respective control processors of the selected battery modules and a control processor of the inverter to either source/sink power respectively to/from the DC bus, accessing updated DC bus voltage and updated REPM output voltage, and if the DC bus voltage and the REPM output voltage are about equal, then periodically accessing sensor data and component data, else reselecting and reinstructing the battery modules in combination with the inverter. A system for implementing the method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
