  • Publication number: 20210363968
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a wind turbine to protect the wind turbine from anomalous operations. Accordingly, in response to receiving data indicative of an anomalous operational event of the wind turbine, the controller initiates an enhanced braking mode for the wind turbine. The enhanced braking mode is characterized by operating the generator at a torque setpoint that generates maximum available torque for a given set of operating conditions. Additionally, the torque setpoint is in excess of a nominal torque limit for the generator.

  • Publication number: 20210184608
    Abstract: A method for operating a multi-level bridge power converter of an electrical power system includes connecting a plurality of phases of the power converter to a common terminal at a DC side of the power converter so as to effectively equate the plurality of phases at a common electrical potential. The method may also include monitoring, via a controller, a plurality of devices of the power converter for faults. Upon detection of a fault in one or more of the plurality of devices, the method includes activating, via the controller, one or more protection devices of a crowbar of the power converter to prevent additional faults from occurring in remaining devices of the plurality of devices by diverting energy away from the remaining devices of the plurality of devices.

  • Patent number: 10441063
    Abstract: The inventive assembly incorporates a lanyard assembly that may, in some embodiments, be attachable to badge connector to present a single, unitary connector with a stylized appearance. The ends of the lanyard ribbons are engaged in a manner that creates free space between the edges of the ribbon immediately upon exiting the connector assembly so as to impart resistance to unwanted twisting of the object held by the lanyard assembly and/or the ribbon forming part of it. The object or badge connector associated with the assembly comprises a clip, j-hook, or key ring assembly for easy attachment of a card or card holder.

  • Publication number: 20180212075
    Abstract: A solar cell is provided wherein a circular polarizer is positioned proximate an absorptive semiconductor layer which itself is separated from an electrode, such as a loop of conductive metal, by an electrically insulative layer. Upon exposure to non-polarized light, a portion of the incident light is polarized and transmitted to the semiconductor layer. Under the influence of this polarized light, photo excited electrons in the semiconductor layer are induced to move in a circular motion, thereby generating magnetic fields. These magnetic fields drive the flow of current within the electrode.

  • Patent number: 9893216
    Abstract: A solar cell is provided wherein a circular polarizer is positioned proximate a transparent conductor layer which itself is separated from a loop of conductive metal by an electrically insulative layer. Upon exposure to non-polarized light, a portion of the incident light is polarized and transmitted to the transparent conductor layer. Under the influence of this polarized light, free electrons in the conductor layer are induced to move in a circular motion, thereby generating magnetic fields. These magnetic fields drive the flow of current within the conductive metal loop.
