Devices, systems, and methods for platform microgrids can include a platform skid for mounting of microgrid system equipment, and a microgrid operations system. The platform skid illustratively comprises an intermodal container housing a power storage device in communication to provide power to the power delivery system.

An apparatus for distributing power from a power source to a set of power outputs using a power distribution rack includes a manifold having a set of bus bars in a wall and coupling a power source to a set of electronic cards, wherein the electronic cards route the power from the power source to the power outputs.

A power distribution unit (PDU) disposable in an electrical equipment rack. The PDU has a housing, a power input penetrating the housing, outlets in the housing, a processor disposed in the housing, voltage and current sensors, and a voltage calculation procedure communicable with the processor. The processor samples voltage and current waveforms and calculates RMS values and other power parameters. A method of managing electrical loads each drawing electrical power from a PDU includes repeatedly sampling voltage across and current flowing through each of the loads, calculating raw RMS values of voltage and current, and scaling the raw RMS values to obtain corrected RMS voltage and current values and other power parameters.

An insulating support includes a pillar-shaped portion made of resin, a metal insert buried in one end surface of the pillar-shaped portion in an axial direction, a metal insert buried in the other end surface of the pillar-shaped portion in the axial direction, and one protrusion made of the resin and provided in a ring shape and integrally with the pillar-shaped portion on an outer circumferential surface of the pillar-shaped portion on a side of the metal insert. The metal insert includes a first cylindrical base portion and a first distal end portion. The metal insert includes a second cylindrical base portion and a second distal end portion. A whole of the first distal end portion is disposed within an extended range of the protrusion in the axial direction.

A mounting system (1) for arranging electric devices (2), for example switchgear cabinets, includes at least one preferably horizontal mounting strip (3) to which at least one device (2) can be secured. The mounting strip (3) includes a support rail (6) to which the device (2) can be releasably fastened and located in a first section (41) of the mounting strip. The first section is central in relation to a cross-sectional view through the mounting strip (3), transversely to its longitudinal axis. A third section (43) of the mounting strip located at a distance from the support rail (6) is at a greater vertical distance (44) from the bottom point (39) of the support rail (6) than a second section (42) at its end that is closer to the support rail (6), especially its end adjoining the support rail (6). The second section is located between the first section (41) and the third section (43).

A power distribution management unit includes a frame assembly, an input enclosure, a three-phase enclosure, a transformer enclosure, and a single-phase enclosure. The frame assembly includes a base and a framework coupled to and extending from the base. The input enclosure, the three-phase enclosure, the transformer enclosure, and the single-phase enclosure are coupled to and supported above the base by the framework. The input enclosure receives an input power. The three-phase enclosure receives the input power and includes a first high-power outlet rated at a first current value, a second high-power outlet rated at a second current value, and a first and a second high-power switch. The first current value is higher than the second current value. The transformer enclosure converts the input power from three-phase power to single-phase power. The single-phase enclosure receives the single-phase power and includes a plurality of intermediate-power outlets and a plurality of low-power outlets.

A switchgear assembly includes a switchgear and a frame configured to support the switchgear, the frame including, a base frame section connected to a base surface, a slidable frame section slidably coupled to the base frame section and movable to vary a height of the switchgear relative to the base surface, and a tiltable frame section pivotably coupled to the slidable frame section and movable to vary a tilt angle of the switchgear relative to the base surface.
