Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for compensating undesired electrical harmonics on an electrical grid. Part of the control system referred to as a harmonic compensator is operatively connected with a power inverter of a power producing unit supplying power to the grid. Another part of the control system, referred to as an impedance detector, is operatively connected to a point of coupling to which point one or more power producing units are connected. The impedance detector is configured to scan impedances as a function of frequency to identify frequencies of impedance peaks which peaks are indicative of resonance frequencies. The determined resonance frequencies are supplied to one or more the harmonic compensators. A compensator determines control signals to the inverter which causes the inverter to inject compensation currents to the grid which currents will damp currents oscillating at or close to the determined resonance frequency.

Abstract: A method is described for intelligently toggling request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) mechanisms on and off for a channel between an access point and a client device. In particular, the method may determine one or more characteristics related to the transmission of frames and toggle RTS/CTS based on these characteristics. The characteristics may describe (1) the airtime used to transmit frames, (2) the data rate used to transmit frames, (3) traffic measurements on the wireless channel between the access point and the client device, (4) overlapping basic service set traffic measurements, and (5) the number of data units included in frames to be transmitted. By toggling RTS/CTS on and off based on network/channel and frame conditions/characteristics, the method ensures that RTS/CTS is enabled when frame collisions are likely and/or channel capacity is low and disabled when frame collisions are unlikely and the overhead associated with RTS/CTS outweighs the potential benefits.
