Title: Intra-microgrid communication architecture

Abstract

A microgrid according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plurality of intelligent electronic devices configured to communicate directly with one another in a first language. Each of the intelligent electronic devices includes a controller and a gateway. The gateway is configured to convert incoming messages from the first language to a second language native to the controller. The first language is different than the second language. A method is also disclosed.

Fault-tolerant battery system employing intra-battery network architecture

Patent Hagen, Ronald A [Stillwater, MN]; Chen, Kenneth W [Fair Oaks, CA]; Comte, Christophe [Montreal, CA]; ...

A distributed energy storing system employing a communications network is disclosed. A distributed battery system includes a number of energy storing modules, each of which includes a processor and communications interface. In a network mode of operation, a battery computer communicates with each of the module processors over an intra-battery network and cooperates with individual module processors to coordinate module monitoring and control operations. The battery computer monitors a number of battery and module conditions, including the potential and current state of the battery and individual modules, and the conditions of the battery's thermal management system.

Computing architecture for autonomous microgrids

Patent Goldsmith, Steven Y.

A computing architecture that facilitates autonomously controlling operations of a microgrid is described herein. A microgrid network includes numerous computing devices that execute intelligent agents, each of which is assigned to a particular entity (load, source, storage device, or switch) in the microgrid. The intelligent agents can execute in accordance with predefined protocols to collectively perform computations that facilitate uninterrupted control of the .

Agent-based microgrid architecture for generation following protocols

Patent Goldsmith, Steven

A system for predicting power and loads over a single, relatively short time horizon. More specifically, a system comprising a Storage Agent (S-agent) Cohort within a grid control society, wherein the system expands G and L intra-cohort protocols to allow the S-cohort to participate in power management of the grid by scheduling storage components in source or load roles as determined by the time-varying state of the power imbalance and by the risk-adjusting capacity margin relationship between the G and L cohorts.

Pulse transmission transceiver architecture for low power communications

Patent Dress, Jr., William B.; Smith, Stephen F.

Systems and methods for pulse-transmission low-power communication modes are disclosed. A method of pulse transmission communications includes: generating a modulated pulse signal waveform; transforming said modulated pulse signal waveform into at least one higher-order derivative waveform; and transmitting said at least one higher-order derivative waveform as an emitted pulse. The systems and methods significantly reduce lower-frequency emissions from pulse transmission spread-spectrum communication modes, which reduces potentially harmful interference to existing radio frequency services and users and also simultaneously permit transmission of multiple data bits by utilizing specific pulse shapes.

Intra-Cavity Total Reflection For High Sensitivity Measurement Of Optical Properties

Patent Pipino, Andrew C. R. [Gaithersburg, MD]; Hudgens, Jeffrey W [Rockville, MD]

An optical cavity resonator device is provided for conducting sensitive murement of optical absorption by matter in any state with diffraction-limited spatial resolution through utilization of total internal reflection within a high-Q (high quality, low loss) optical cavity. Intracavity total reflection generates an evanescent wave that decays exponentially in space at a point external to the cavity, thereby providing a localized region where absorbing materials can be sensitively probed through alteration of the Q-factor of the otherwise isolated cavity. When a laser pulse is injected into the cavity and passes through the evanescent state, an amplitude loss resulting from absorptionmore » « less
