Paul H. PLAHN - Lino Lakes MN, US
John HUGHES - Andover MN, US
Elias AYANA - Minneapolis MN, US
Krzysztof WEJRZANOWSKI - Stamford, GB
Abdeslem MEBARKI - Stamford, GB
Assignee:
CUMMINS POWER GENERATION, INC. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
F16F 15/00
F16F 15/20
US Classification:

Systems And Methods For Providing Ground Fault Protection On Direct Current Power Feeds Of Engine Components

View page
US Patent:
20230012380, Jan 12, 2023
Filed:
Jul 7, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/859806
Inventors:
- Minneapolis MN, US
Randall J. Johnson - Columbus IN, US
Sagar Sharma - Columbus IN, US
Elias M. Ayana - Minneapolis MN, US
Michael Fegley - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Power Generation Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
F02N 11/10
F02N 11/04
Abstract:
Systems and methods of providing fault protection on direct current (DC) feeds to various engine or generator set components are provided. In some embodiments, generator set includes a ground fault device arranged between a DC power distribution circuit and a subsystem of the generator set. The ground fault device is configured to detect a fault condition based on a comparison of a first current in a first wire with a second current in a second wire between the DC power distribution circuit and the subsystem. In response to detecting the fault condition, the ground fault device is configured to disconnect the subsystem.

US Patent:
20200251911, Aug 6, 2020
Filed:
Jan 3, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/734105
Inventors:
- Minneapolis MN, US
Elias M. Ayana - Minneapolis MN, US
Bradford K. Palmer - Ham Lake MN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
H02J 5/00
H02J 3/26
H02J 3/32
H02J 3/02
H02J 7/02
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling power flow to and from an energy storage system are provided. One energy storage system includes an energy storage device and a bidirectional inverter configured to control a flow of power into or out of the energy storage device via a plurality of phases. The energy storage system further includes a controller configured to control the bidirectional inverter based on a load condition on one or more phases. The controller is configured to control the bidirectional inverter to store power generated by a generator set in the energy storage device and transmit power from the energy storage device to a load driven by the generator set in response to detecting a load imbalance between the phases.

US Patent:
20180198282, Jul 12, 2018
Filed:
Nov 2, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/802164
Inventors:
- Minneapolis MN, US
Elias M. Ayana - Minneapolis MN, US
Bradford K. Palmer - Ham Lake MN, US
International Classification:
H02J 3/32
H02J 9/06
H02J 7/00
H02J 7/02
H02J 7/34
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling power flow to and from an energy storage system are provided. One energy storage system includes an energy storage device and a bidirectional inverter configured to control a flow of power into or out of the energy storage device. The energy storage system further includes a controller configured to control the bidirectional inverter based on one or more signals received from the generator set coupled to the inverter via an AC bus. The controller is configured to, based on the one or more signals, control the bidirectional inverter to store power generated by the generator set in the energy storage device and transmit power from the energy storage device to a load driven by the generator set to maintain the generator set within a range of one or more operating conditions.
