Patent number: 8203328Abstract: A current sensor is provided for non-invasively measuring electrical current in an electrical conductor. The current sensor includes a housing having a Hall effect device and circuitry for transmitting a signal indicative of the current flowing through the electrical conductor. The current sensor includes a base having a surface for supporting an electrical conductor. A magnetic shielding member is coupled to the surface to shield the Hall effect device from stray or external magnetic fields. A compliant member is coupled to the magnetic shielding member opposite the surface. The compliant member compresses to allow the current sensor to accommodate a large variety of electrical conductor sizes. The compliant member further acts to bias the electrical conductor against the Hall effect device.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignees: Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Softstuf, Inc.Inventors: Sanjay Bose, Anthony T. Giuliante, Amir Makki

Patent number: 8174268Abstract: A system for collecting data and monitoring the operation of electrical circuits, such as branch circuits at a substation is provided. The system collects data from a plurality of sensors coupled to a plurality of electrical equipment associated with a circuit. The data from the sensors is collected and used to identify signatures in the data to ascertain potential issues in the electrical protective circuit. The data is further analyzed to determine signatures of abnormal operating conditions. The signatures are compared to reference signatures to identify the abnormal conditions and corrective action is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2009Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignees: Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Softstuf, Inc.Inventors: Sanjay Bose, Anthony T.

Publication number: 20110087384Abstract: A system and method of operating a complex system, such as an electrical transmission and distribution system is provided. The system includes a plurality of local assets that are used to form a contingency asset pool in the event that an operational issue is detected. The contingency assets may include dispatchable loads and on-site electrical power generation including diesel and natural gas fueled generators, and renewable power energy sources. The contingency asset pool conserves the capacity of the system on a local level and allows the system operator to maintain a high level of reliability while minimizing some of the costs associated purchasing, installing and maintaining redundant equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2009Publication date: April 14, 2011Applicant: CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC.Inventor: Sanjay Bose

Publication number: 20100292857Abstract: A system is provided that allows the aggregation of a plurality of inputs from an electrical grid and the display of the plurality of inputs on a single integrated display for a network operator. The system accepts signals from electrical loads and generation devices and analyzes the inputs to determine potential issues or trends, including fault predictions and recommends contingency plans. The system presents these potential issues and possible corrective actions to the network operator. The network operator may initiate actions, such as dispatching loads or activating generation capacity for example, in response.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2010Publication date: November 18, 2010Applicant: CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC.Inventors: Sanjay Bose, A.
