Appl. No.:

17/167956

Inventors:

- St.Louis MO, US
David Donald Haynes - St. Peters MO, US

International Classification:

G01R 31/08
H02H 1/00

Abstract:

An electrical grid system including a phase conductor, a neutral conductor, and a neutral-to-ground conductor configured to conduct current flow between the neutral conductor and a ground. The electrical grid system further includes a fault detection sensor including a current sensor configured to sense current flowing along the neutral-to-ground conductor. The fault detection sensor further includes a controller having an electronic processor that is configured to receive signals indicative of the current flowing through the neutral-to-ground conductor from the current sensor, monitor the received signals for an occurrence of an event associated with the current flowing along the neutral-to-ground conductor; and output an occurrence of a fault in the electrical grid system based on detecting occurrence of the event.

Appl. No.:

16/423701

Inventors:

- St. Louis MO, US
David Haynes - St. Peters MO, US

International Classification:

H02J 13/00
H04L 29/06
G01D 4/00

Abstract:

An electrical distribution system (D) in which the consumption of electricity supplied to a facility (F) is measured by an electric meter (HM) installed a relatively inaccessible or hard to reach facility location. A proxy meter (PM) is installed at a readily accessible or easy to reach facility location. The proxy meter is linked to the host meter (HM) for energy consumption measurements made by the host meter to be sent to the proxy meter for ready transmission to the utility (U). Instructions or directives for the host meter are transmitted to the proxy meter by the utility and sent by the proxy meter to the host meter for the host meter to act on or respond to them.

Appl. No.:

14/301593

Inventors:

- Hazelwood MO, US
David Haynes - St. Peters MO, US

International Classification:

H02J 4/00

US Classification:

700295

Abstract:

An energy management system (EMS) is connected to a distribution grid upstream of substation transformers and provides a demand response (DR) program signal to the distribution grid. The program signal specifies a target load adjustment. A plurality of DR RCE (Demand Response Remote Communication Equipment) are connected to phases of the distribution grid downstream of a corresponding substation transformer. Each DR RCE controls an operation of a plurality of endpoint devices. A plurality of FANG devices, each connected to phases of the distribution grid downstream of a corresponding substation transformer, receives the DR program signal via the grid. Each FANG device selectively controls power to its endpoint devices in response to a received DR program signal. As a result, the FANG device reduces the total power applied to its endpoint devices in response to the DR program signal.

International Classification:

G01D 4/00

US Classification:

34087002

Abstract:

An advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system includes a meter data management system, an AMI network, a network communication module and metering devices. The AMI network connects to a reference time clock and the meter data management system. The network communication module connects to the AMI network and is in communication with the reference time clock via the AMI network. Each metering device is connected to the network communication module and has a metrology device and a communication module device. The communication module device provides clock adjustments to the metrology clock and/or its own clock. The metrology device provides clock adjustments to the communications module clock and/or its own clock. Methods for use in an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system provide clock adjustments

Appl. No.:

12/809134

Inventors:

David Haynes - O'Fallon MO, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/32

US Classification:

700295

Abstract:

A method of Demand Response (DR) utilizing a Load Control Transponder (LCT) installed at the location of an electricity consumer. A DR program, in conjunction with the LCT, allows a consumer to determine, in advance, when they will reduce their demand on an electricity supply system. The consumer is informed of price points at which the cost of energy increases due to overall demand. The consumer then determines if, and when, they will reduce their demand on the system when a price point is reached. In addition, when an unplanned, critical event occurs, the method enables the utility to bypass any intermediate consumer established settings and immediately and directly drop the level of energy consumption to the consumer's lowest selected level for continuing service thereby to shed sufficient load on the system to maintain an adequate level of electricity supply. Once the event has been resolved, the method enables the utility to restore the consumer's previous level of usage.

David Haynes - St. Peters MO, US

International Classification:

F02G 1/043
F02G 1/053

US Classification:

60517, 60531

Abstract:

Apparatus () comprising a power plant or air motor utilizing compressed air or liquid air for energy storage. The apparatus includes an electrical plant (), a mechanical plant (), and a pneumatic plant (). When operating as a compressor, the plant receives electrical and/or direct mechanical power as an input to drive the plant, compress air, and store its output in the form of compressed or liquefied air. When operating as an engine, the plant consumes the compressed or liquid air to drive a mechanism of the engine and deliver mechanical power and/or electrical power as an output.
