International Classification:

G05F 1/14

US Classification:

323255

Abstract:

Systems and methods for maximum deviation multi-phase operation provide techniques for controlling voltage regulators and tap changers in a multi-phase system to operate within a maximum deviation window. The maximum deviation window comprises a low boundary value and a high boundary value. In an example embodiment, systems and methods provide techniques for setting the low boundary value and the high boundary value. In another example embodiment, systems and methods provide techniques for optimized power factor correction in a multi-phase system

International Classification:

G05F 1/12

US Classification:

323255

Abstract:

A multi-phase control system having multi-phase operation with single phase control includes a main control module, a lineman module, and an add-on lineman module. The main control module and the lineman module control, automatically or manually, the first phase and first phase tap changer of a multi-phase system. The add-on lineman module and the main control module control, automatically or manually, additional phases of the multi-phase system. In certain example embodiments, the multi-phase control system detects when a line voltage of an additional phase is de-energized and allows the tap changer of the additional phase to be powered by a line voltage of the first phase. In certain example embodiments, the tap changer of a de-energized phase is powered by an external power supply.

COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY - HOUSTON TX

International Classification:

G05F 1/14
H02M 1/42

Abstract:

Systems and methods for phase angle balancing and voltage balancing in multi-phase systems are described herein. The system can include a multi-phase control system coupled to a plurality of voltage regulators. The multi-phase control system can receive sense signals from the plurality of voltage regulators. The multi-phase control system can use the sense signals to determine phase angles between the multiple phases and adjust an output voltage of a phase. The multi-phase control system can also use the sense signals to determine voltage deltas between the multiple phases and adjust an output voltage of a phase.

International Classification:

G05F 1/147

Abstract:

A method of controlling a voltage regulator having a nominal input and a nominal output structured to operate in a forward power mode wherein power flows from the input to the output and a reverse power mode wherein power flows from the output to the input. The method includes sensing current flowing through the voltage regulator, determining a direction of power flow through the voltage regulator based on the sensed current, determining a verified direction of power flow through the voltage regulator by altering a voltage between the input and the output and analyzing an effect caused thereby on at least one of a voltage at the input and a voltage at the output, and selecting a voltage regulating scheme for controlling the voltage regulator based on the verified direction of power flow.

Assignee:

COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY - Houston TX

International Classification:

H02H 5/00

US Classification:

307125

Abstract:

A system having voltage regulator bypass means provides a means for preventing a voltage regulator to be bypassed in a power system when the difference between a load side voltage of the voltage regulator and a source side voltage of the voltage regulator is not below a certain threshold or substantially small. A voltage regulator controller can also prevent the voltage regulator from being bypassed when a tap changer of the voltage regulator is not in a neutral position.
