Abstract: An exemplary method and an apparatus implementing the method for an arrangement having a three-phase, multi-level inverter, an output LCL-filter connecting the inverter to a grid, and a virtual-ground connection between the LCL-filter and the neutral point of the DC-link. The method includes determining a zero-sequence component of an LCL-filter inverter-side current, calculating a zero-sequence damping and balancing voltage term based on the LCL-filter inverter-side current zero-sequence component and voltages over the two halves of the DC-link, and adding the zero-sequence damping and voltage balancing term to the output voltage reference.

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for developing a health profile of an industrial asset based upon data pertaining to such an industrial asset. At least some of the data is transformed into primary state indicators, respectively representative of the status or condition of an aspect of the industrial asset. Using the primary state indicators, one or more events that are likely to occur to the industrial asset are identified and a health profile is developed based upon such events. The health profile may describe maintenance actions that will reduce a likelihood of an event(s) occurring, may describe a business impact on an entity associated with the industrial asset if an event(s) occurs, and/or may describe a performance impact on the industrial asset if an event(s) occurs, for example.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for parsing tabular data of a document. That is, a document may comprise arbitrarily formatted content (e.g., an equipment inspection report generated by an engineer). Respective rows of the document may be clustered into one or more row clusters based upon row proximity and/or numeric content (e.g., rows having similar numeric content may comprise logically related information). One or more vertical clusters may be generated within respective row clusters based upon vertical overlap. In this way, row clusters and/or vertical clusters may be searched for one or more values that may be assigned to a search term. For example, a row cluster may comprise a search term “Average temp”. One or more vertical clusters within the row cluster may be searched for a word that matches a pattern criteria (e.g., a two digit number), which may be assigned to the search term.
