Patent number: 11489335Abstract: An instrumented electric power voltage arrester includes a temperature sensor, wireless transmitter, and a visual over-temperature indicator. A disk shaped module, a replacement varister block, or a dummy block containing the sensor/transmitter is placed between varister blocks inside the arrester housing. A strap-on module is attached to the outside of the arrester housing. The sensor/transmitter utilizes a harvesting power supply that draws electric power for the electronics from the power line protected by the arrester. An ambient temperature sensor may be utilized to enhance accuracy. The temperature sensor/transmitter typically sends arrester monitoring data wirelessly to an RTU or handheld unit located outside the arrester, which relays the monitoring data to an operations control center that scheduled replacement of the arrester based on the monitoring data. A surge counter keeps track of the number of equipment and lightning related temperature surges experienced by the arrester.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Southern States LLCInventors: Joseph R Rostron, Josh Keister, Raj Anand

Patent number: 11176594Abstract: A system has a gateway cluster having a gateway processor for communication with an external processor of an external user using a first protocol and data format. A non-transitory storage medium is configured for storing a database containing unfilled orders associated with the external user. An application cluster has a processor in communication with the storage medium for accessing the database. The gateway processor can communicate with the application processor using a second protocol and data format different from the first protocol and data format. The application processor is configured for fetching and aggregating unfilled orders from the database, and transmitting an aggregation of orders to the external processor via the gateway cluster in response to a number of unfilled orders being at least a threshold number, a size of the aggregation of orders being at least a threshold size, or expiration of a predetermined time period.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Raj Anand, Ponsankar Shanmugam Semmandampalayam, Ruchitkumar Shah, ManoharReddy Vummadi

Patent number: 11063425Abstract: Fault detection, isolation and restoration systems for electric power systems using “smart switch” points that autonomously coordinate operations to minimize the number of customers affected by outages and their durations, without relying on communications with a central controller or between the smart switch points. Each smart recloser can be individually programmed to operate as a tie-switch, a Type-A (normal or default type) sectionalizer, or a Type-B (special type) sectionalizer. The Type-A recloser automatically opens when it detects a fault, uses a direction-to-fault and zone-based distance-to-fault operating protocol, and stays “as is” with no automatic opening when power (voltage) is lost on both sides of the switch. The Type-B sectionalizer does the same thing and is further configured to automatically open when it detects that it is deenergized on both sides for a pre-defined time period, and to operate like a tie-switch once open.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Southern States, LLCInventors: Jiyuan Fan, Joseph R Rostron, Hua Fan, David Moore, Raj Anand, Brian Berner, Buddy Reneau

Patent number: 10923907Abstract: Electric power Fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR) systems using “smart switches” that autonomously coordinate operations to minimize the number of customers affected by outages and their durations, without relying on communications with a central controller or between the smart switch points. The smart switches typically operate during the substation breaker reclose cycles while the substation breakers are open, which enables the substation breakers to reclose successfully to restore service within their normal reclosing cycles. Alternatively, the smart switch may be timed to operate before the substation breakers trip to effectively remove the substation breakers from the fault isolation process. Both approaches allow the FDIR system to be installed with minimal reconfiguration of the substation protection scheme.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Southern States, LLCInventors: Jiyuan Fan, Joseph R Rostron, Hua Fan, David Moore, Raj Anand, Brian Berner, Buddy Reneau
