Patents by Inventor Vikram Singh Rajput

Vikram Singh Rajput has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Integrated and optimized distributed generation and interconnect system controller
    Patent number: 8190299
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and controlling distributed generation resources are disclosed. Monolithic or distributed controllers control the power requests sent to each distributed generation resource to achieve optimal efficiency using rule-based and/or fuzzy logic-based control techniques. High-impedance fault (HIF) detection circuitry allows power export to the utility grid in normal operating circumstances, and when an islanding condition is detected, ceases that export within two seconds and prevents further export until the condition is cleared.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2012
    Inventors: Steven M. Rovnyak, Yaobin Chen, Yong Sheng, Vikram Singh Rajput, Terry Pahls, Larry George, Jeff Malkoff, Xiaohui Hu
  • Wind turbine, control system, and method for optimizing wind turbine power production
    Patent number: 8035241
    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a generator and a control system. The control system is configured to determine whether a predefined amount of turbulence will be induced to the wind turbine by a wake zone created by a wind turbine upstream thereof. The control system is also configured to adjust at least one constraint of the wind turbine to a first setting if the amount of turbulence is greater than the predefined amount, the constraint affecting power produced by the generator, and to adjust the constraint of the wind turbine to a second setting if the amount of turbulence is not greater than the predefined amount.
