A system includes a control unit having a processor and a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to communicate with one or more charging stations that are electrically coupled to receive electrical power from a power distribution grid and that are configured to selectively charge one or more energy storage devices connected to the charging stations. The processor is configured to generate first control signals for communication by the communication interface to the one or more charging stations to control transfer of reactive and/or active power from the charging stations to the power distribution grid. The control signals are generated based at least in part on a load cycle profile of one or more electric machines electrically coupled to the power distribution grid.

Delivery of an amount of electrical energy between an energy producing entity and an energy consuming entity. The amount of energy is delivered via an electricity distribution network in the form of at least one temporal flow of electric power, at a constant level on at least a main part of the flow. In particular, in order to identify the delivery via the network, the flow further comprises an additional part comprising delivery identification data, the electric power being modulated in amplitude in the additional part, the additional part therefore having periods when the electric power is lower than said constant level of the main part of the flow.

A power supply system is provided. The power supply system includes at least one uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a catcher system including at least one catcher UPS, at least one static transfer switch (STS), each STS electrically coupled between an associated UPS and an associated load, each STS further electrically coupled between the catcher system and the associated load, and each STS operable to selectively switch between supplying power to the associated load from the associated UPS and supplying power to the associated load from the catcher system. The power supply system further includes a first communications channel communicatively coupling the at least one UPS to the catcher system, and at least one second communications channel, wherein each STS is communicatively coupled to the associated UPS by a second communications channel of the at least one second communications channel.

The subject disclosure provides for harvesting energy and converting the harvested energy with high efficiency for multiple power rails to a system load. For example, harvested energy is converted to a regulated output for a first power rail when the harvested energy satisfies a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) threshold, where the MPPT threshold corresponds to a high conversion efficiency. When the harvested energy drops below the MPPT threshold, the regulated output can be driven with stored energy associated with a second power rail from a super capacitor charged with the harvested energy during a high efficiency phase. This helps maintain the high conversion efficiency at the regulated output. In the event that the super capacitor does not have sufficient stored energy, a backup battery may drive the regulated output associated with a third power rail while still maintaining the high conversion efficiency at the regulated output.

A system and method for data collection and aggregation using a distributed network of communications enabled sensors connected to another primary network to achieve a secondary out-of-band monitoring perspective, for example, in power grids. The data collection system includes an aggregation and processing server configured to collect data from a variety of sensors adjacent to the monitored network each sensor includes secondary power such that it can continue data transmission even during power grid outages. The data collection system includes a method for secure real-time data ingest, machine learning enabled analysis, risk assessment, and anomaly detection on a broad geographic scale irrespective of isolated network boundaries.

The present disclosure is directed to energy storage and supply management system. The system may include one or more of a control unit, which is in communication with the power grid, and an energy storage unit that stores power for use at a later time. The system may be used with traditional utility provided power as well as locally generated solar, wind, and any other types of power generation technology.
