Abstract: A battery energy storage system (BESS) is provided. The BESS includes a plurality of battery strings, a plurality of battery switchgear units, an internal power supply configured to supply DC power from within the BESS, and a controller coupled in communication with the plurality of battery switchgear units and electrically coupled to the internal power supply. The controller is configured to receive DC power from the internal power supply, instruct at least one battery switchgear unit of the plurality of battery switchgear units to electrically couple at least one battery string of the plurality of battery strings to a DC bus, receive DC power from the at least one battery string via the DC bus, and instruct each battery switchgear unit of the plurality of battery switchgear units to electrically couple each battery string of the plurality of battery strings to the DC bus.

Abstract: An orally administered pharmaceutical formulation comprising a solid dosage form containing an aliphatic amino acid compound in which the carboxylic acid and primary amine are separated by three or four units. Administered in an acid pH range, the formulation is useful in the treatment of convulsive disorders and also has anxiolytic and sedative properties.
