Method And Apparatus For Automated Reconfiguration Of An Electric Power Distribution System With Enhanced Protection

View page
US Patent:
6347027, Feb 12, 2002
Filed:
Feb 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/502906
Inventors:
William Christian Tracy Nelson - Duvall WA
Donald S. Berkowitz - Redmond WA
Witold Bik - El Cerrito CA
Michael A. Maloney - Woodinville WA
Assignee:
EnergyLine Systems, Inc. - Alameda CA
International Classification:
H02H 300
US Classification:
361 64, 361 66, 361 68
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for controlling an electric power distribution system including the use and coordination of information conveyed over communications to dynamically modify the protection characteristics of distribution devices (including but not limited to substation breakers, reclosing substation breakers, and line reclosers). In this way, overall protection and reconfigurability of the distribution system or âteamâ is greatly enhanced. According to additional aspects of the invention, devices within the system recognize the existence of cooperating devices outside of the teams domain of direct control, managing information from these devices such that more intelligent local decision making and inter-team coordination can be performed. This information may include logical status indications, control requests, analog values or other data.

Motor Operator For Over-Head Air Break Electrical Power Distribution Switches

US Patent:
6456025, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
Mar 8, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/802780
Inventors:
Donald S. Berkowitz - Redmond WA
Witold Bik - El Cerrito CA
John Hammons - Walnut Creek CA
Jeff Heckathorn - Everett WA
Stephen F. Isaacson - Brentwood CA
Terry R. Klusmeyer - Garner NC
William Christian Tracy Nelson - Duvall WA
Assignee:
EnergyLine Systems, Inc. - Alameda CA
International Classification:
H01H 7110
US Classification:
318272, 318264, 318286, 307139, 307143
Abstract:
A motor operator for an overhead power switch is disclosed including a microcontroller, a unique and powerful array of well-integrated sensors, a motor and drive developing substantial torque and speed and coupled to a switch actuator and responsive to the microcontroller, and a sophisticated program algorithm stored in memory at the actuator site for dynamically controlling, i. e. , governing the various control modes as called for by changing conditions. The sensors include an encoder associated with the motor and drive that develops position information signals fed to the dynamic microcontroller to compute real time information including position, speed, and stopping distance used in conjunction with remote operate commands to open, close and monitor status of the switch in the various ways disclosed. Under the supervision of the microcontroller, a motor drive power switching circuit selectively applies a source of power, such as from an on site battery, to an electric motor to drive the switch toward open or closed position at different speeds, output force levels such as at different torques, and in continuous or incremental movements depending on conditions determined by the microcontroller in response to sensor inputs.

Method For Automated Reconfiguration Of A Distribution System Using Distributed Control Logic And Communications

US Patent:
62432443, Jun 5, 2001
Filed:
Jun 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/606461
Inventors:
William Christian Tracy Nelson - Duvall WA
Daniel Partridge - El Cerrito CA
Donald S. Berkowitz - Redmond WA
Witold Bik - El Cerrito CA
Ed Brasher - Pinole CA
Barry Tangney - San Leandro CA
Assignee:
EnergyLine Systems, Inc. - Alameda CA
International Classification:
H02H 300
US Classification:
361 64
Abstract:
A system and method which detects and responds to abnormalities in a distribution system by reconfiguring nodes of the system to minimize the effects of the abnormality without the requirement of communicating with a central controller. The nodes in the system coordinate a response to a system abnormality through a process of self-organization in which each node acts based on its own programming, sensors, and stored data. Each node keeps other nodes apprised of its actions so that they may in turn decide what actions are appropriate for them to take.
