  • Patent number: 10985561
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling an electrical network that includes at least one transformer station delimiting a medium-voltage sub-network and a low-voltage sub-network and a plurality of entities that are connected to a determined voltage in the low-voltage sub-network, each entity being a consumer and/or a producer of electricity in the low-voltage sub-network. The method includes determining control data on the production and/or on the consumption of electricity to be applied to one or more entities of the low-voltage sub-network taking into account previously determined production and/or consumption quotas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2021
    Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SAS

  • Patent number: 8320269
    Abstract: A distributed power control technique for wireless networking efficiently balances communication delay against transmitter power on each wireless link. Packets are transmitted over a wireless link from a transmitter to a receiver using a dynamically controlled transmit power level that is periodically updated at the transmitter. The transmit power is computed from i) an observed noise plus interference value of the wireless link and ii) a parameter that determines a balance between per-packet average delay and per-packet average power. In a preferred implementation, the dynamically controlled transmit power level is computed by minimizing the sum of an average delay cost and an average power cost, weighted by the parameter.
