  • Method for identifying a fault event in an electric power distribution grid sector
    Patent number: 11451042
    Abstract: A method for identifying a fault event in an electric power distribution grid sector including one or more electric loads and having a coupling node with a main grid, at which a grid current adsorbed by said electric loads is detectable. The method allows determining whether a detected anomalous variation of the grid current, adsorbed at the electric coupling node, is due to the start of a characteristic transitional operating period of an electric load or is due to an electric fault.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignee: ABB S.PA.

  • Actuating systems for controlling the flight of a power wing profile for conversion of wind energy into electrical or mechanical energy
    Patent number: 9366225
    Abstract: An actuating system for controlling the flight of a power wing profile or kite controlled via at least two cables for conversion of wind energy into electrical or mechanical energy, includes a first unit for exerting an action of unwinding-winding of the cables to the same extent, and a second unit set between the power kite and the first unit for providing an action of differential control of the cables. The system employs a single motor or motor/generator.

  • System for converting wind energy into electrical energy through the flight of power wing profiles tethered to the ground by cables of a fixed length, without passive phases, and with automatic adaptation to wind conditions
    Patent number: 9366232
    Abstract: Wind energy is converted into electrical or mechanical energy through the flight of at least one power wing profile tethered via one or more cables to a ground unit moved by the power wing profile along a path of alternating displacement for driving a generator, where the path of alternating displacement is orientable so as to set itself in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the wind. During the phases of flight of the power wing profile in conditions of generation of energy the length of the cables is kept constant.
