Abstract: A system for measuring power quality on an electrical grid is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of monitoring systems installed at a plurality of structures receiving power via the electrical grid, the structure being at the edge of the electrical grid and including, for example, houses and other buildings. Each monitoring system is configured to be electrically coupled to a panel assembly and an electric service meter at the structure at which it is installed. Each monitoring system also comprises a measurement unit configured to measure electrical values associated with the panel assembly at the structure and to detect power quality events based on the measured electrical values. The system further includes a reporting system communicatively coupled to the monitoring systems and configured to receive data representing the detected power quality events from the monitoring systems.

Abstract: A method of designing a meter-mounted extender with a transformer is disclosed, wherein losses from primary and secondary windings are equalized for a given secondary load.

Abstract: A semiconductor based electro-optic modulator comprising a capacitively coupled ground allowing for DC biasing of the modulator and a pre-distortion circuit for alleviating RF skin effect and for increasing bandwidth of modulator. Electrical components and functions of modulator partly located on an alumina pane. Reduction of thermally-induced stresses by connecting modulator ground to package ground via alumina pane is also disclosed.
