Frequency based electric vehicle charge controller system and method for implementing demand response and regulation services to power grid using frequency detection

Patent Koritarov, Vladimir

Frequency responsive charging for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV), a frequency sensing charging system and a method are provided for implementing demand response and regulation services to power grid using frequency detection for a frequency-based charge controller for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV). A frequency of the power grid is continuously monitored and compared to a predefined tolerance band by a frequency sensor. Responsive to the frequency being outside the predefined tolerance band, the frequency is applied to a programmable logic controller. The programmable logic controller uses the applied frequencymore »« less

System and method for islanding detection and prevention in distributed generation

Patent Bhowmik, Shibashis; Mazhari, Iman; Parkhideh, Babak

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for detecting an islanding condition at an inverter configured to couple a distributed generation system to an electrical grid network. A controller may determine a command frequency and a command frequency variation. The controller may determine that the command frequency variation indicates a potential islanding condition and send to the inverter an instruction to disconnect the distributed generation system from the electrical grid network. When the distributed generation system is disconnected from the electrical grid network, the controller may determine whether the grid network is valid.

System and method for islanding detection and prevention in distributed generation

Patent Bhowmik, Shibashis; Mazhari, Iman; Parkhideh, Babak

A method for detecting and preventing islanding includes issuing a command to an inverter connected to a power source, where the inverter is coupled to a power grid and supplies power to the power grid, the command causes a frequency of a waveform output by the inverter to vary, and the frequency of the waveform output by the inverter is a command frequency, determining that a amount of change of the command frequency is a constant value for a predetermined amount of time, removing the power supplied by the inverter from the power grid, and determining whether the power gridmore » is valid.« less
