Abstract: A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided. For example, a storage system comprises a battery; a microinverter coupled to the battery; and a chassis comprising a metal backing plate and at least one of an outer metal barrier or an inner metal barrier connected to a metal backing plate, the chassis configured to house the battery and the microinverter in an assembled configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an energy storage system. For example, an energy storage system can comprise a chassis and a battery module. The battery module is configured to removably connect to the chassis and comprises a plurality of battery cells held in place via a pair of end plates configured to compress the plurality of battery cells together when tightened to form the battery module.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery pack configured for use with an energy storage system. For example, the battery pack can comprise a battery cell and a printed circuit board assembly comprising a metal strip configured to connect to the battery cell and provide at least one of temperature or voltage data of the battery cell to a battery management unit operably coupled to the printed circuit board assembly.

Abstract: A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided and includes an enclosure configured to house a battery, a thermal device disposed within the enclosure and configured to detect when a predetermined temperature is reached within the enclosure, a nozzle connected to a cartridge comprising fire retardant material and to the thermal device, wherein the nozzle is disposed on the enclosure to direct the fire retardant material into the enclosure when the thermal device detects the predetermined temperature is reached within the enclosure.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided comprising one or more assets operative to generate one or more data elements; a collection device at a first tier, wherein the collection device is operative to receive one or more generated data elements; a central storage device at a third tier, wherein the third tier is located in a computing cloud, and wherein the central storage device is operative to receive the one or more generated data elements from the collection device; one or more analytic modules at a fourth tier, wherein the fourth tier is located in the computing cloud, and wherein the one or more analytic modules is operative to receive the one or more generated data elements from the central storage device and generate an analysis based on the one or more generated data elements; and a processing and reporting module at a fifth tier, wherein the fifth tier is located in the computing cloud, and wherein the processing and reporting module is operative to report the analysis to a u

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically publishing course offerings for different types of courses according to a plurality of policies and templates is presented herein. Instructors and/or administrators for a course create course records for each course that will be offered at a particular educational institution. The course record includes, and/or is associated with, data that indicates when the course will start, what assets should be published in the course offering, what template should be used, when a course is eligible to be automatically published, and/or when a course should be published by. When courses are eligible to be published, a controller determines what priority to assign each course. The controller manages a pool of course publishing processes to publish each course according to the policies and templates defined by each course's educational institution. The controller also notifies administrators when a course publishing process fails to publish a course.
