Abstract: A fault detection system that includes a recloser configured to perform a reclosing operation in response to detecting overcurrent, where the recloser includes a communications device for receiving communications signals. The system also includes a transformer having an outer can, a sensor mounted to the can and extending into the can for measuring pressure therein, where the sensor includes a mechanical indicator that extends when overpressure is detected. The transformer further includes a radio mounted to the can and coupled to the sensor, where the radio includes a switch coupled to the mechanical indicator and a transmitter. When the mechanical indicator extends in response to detecting overpressure in the can it causes the switch to close which causes the transmitter to send a signal that is received by the communications device, which prevents the recloser from reclosing.

Abstract: A fault detection system that that prevents a recloser from reclosing if a fault is determined to be internal to a transformer, where the recloser is configured to perform a reclosing operation in response to detecting overcurrent. The recloser includes a sensor, such as a light sensor, directed towards the transformer and detecting a fault event. If the recloser detects overcurrent, but the sensor does not detect the fault event, it is assumed that the fault is internal to the transformer and the recloser is prevented from reclosing.

Abstract: A method for determining an optimized TCC operating curve for an electronic interrupting device that protects a distribution transformer in a power distribution network, where the TCC operating curve is some optimized predetermined percentage above a TCC curve for normal transformer operation. The method includes providing a TCC transformer curve that identifies an allowed transformer operation current once the transformer magnetics have been stabilized and the transformer is operating normally, and determining a TCC operating curve that is defined by points along the transformer curve plus a predetermined percentage above the transformer curve, where the operating curve identifies a response time for when the electronic interrupting device will open in response to a certain current flow.

Abstract: Described are curve shapes that may be implemented in a transformer protector that provide enhanced fault protection. A transformer protector curve rating structure relates response curves to the transformer size and simplifies selection of response curves implemented within a transformer protector and associated transformer.

Abstract: A fault protection system for an electrical power distribution system and a method of configuring and operating a fault protection system for an electrical power distribution system accepts device fault protection parameters, such as the time-current-characteristics (TCC's), of boundary devices, and selects and sets fault protection parameters for one or more fault protection devices, such as fault-interrupters, that thus coordinate with the boundary devices. Fault protection parameter selection for each fault protection device may occur automatically, and each device may reconfigure its fault protection parameters based upon changes in the electrical power distribution system, for example, as the result of fault isolation and/or service restoration.

Abstract: The present invention discusses a dashboard application that compiles values across a set of records, each of the records having fields which include data pertaining to user-defined criteria. The user enters a query into the system and the set of records is returns and analyzed according the criteria. The results are numerical and are displayed in components of the dashboard. The component is a graph, bar graph, pie chart, etc. that appears in a user interface of the dashboard. A user can customize the application and define its component. Multiple users can view and subscribe to the dashboard and can select specific components to follow. Some components can have user-defined threshold values and can provide graphics displaying breakpoints of those values. When the system refreshes, or the user manually refreshes the dashboard, an alert is generated if the threshold value is traversed. The alert, including the component graphic, is posted in the subscriber's feed and a feed of the dashboard.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results. These mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results can enable embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received. The ability of embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received can enable report results to be progressively rendered such that delay is avoided which would otherwise occur when rendering only in response to receipt of an entirety of the report results.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for locally defining related reports using a global definition. These mechanisms and methods for locally defining related reports using a global definition can provide a single global definition that is applicable to various reports. The ability to provide such single global definition can enable multiple local definitions that are report specific to be configured, at least in part, using the single global definition.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for conditionally executing related reports in parallel based on an estimated execution time. These mechanisms and methods for conditionally executing related reports in parallel based on an estimated execution time can provide parallel execution of related reports when predetermined time-based criteria are met. The ability to conditionally provide parallel execution of related reports can reduce overhead caused by such parallel execution when the time-based criteria is met.

Abstract: Interactive database viewing is provided. A server associated with a database accesses a stored result set from a database query. The server presents a portion of the result set in a list view to a client device remote from the server and the cache memory, where the portion presented is based on filter selection based on fields of the data. In response to changes to the filter selection, the server can dynamically alter the list view without having to again access the database. If a change to the filter selection requests data outside the cached result set, the server accesses the database and updates the cached result set. Inline editing of the data in the list view can be applied back to the database by the server.
