Abstract: A load shed module configured to be connected in series between a power supply and a load is disclosed. A separate load shed module is connected in series between each load and the power supply. The load shed module determines the frequency of the voltage supplied from the power supply. Based on the frequency, the load shed module determines if utility power is connected or if a generator is connected. If the generator is connected and the frequency of the voltage goes outside of a desired operating range for a preset time, the load shed module disconnects the load from the power supply. Each load shed module includes a priority setting and reconnects its corresponding load after a predetermined time corresponding to the priority setting.

Abstract: An example control device includes memory storing a first thermal model of a building and a second thermal model of the building, and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to select the first thermal model or the second thermal model as a selected thermal model, and execute model predictive control (MPC) using the selected thermal model to control a heating, cooling, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) apparatus at the building.

Abstract: A battery module includes features to optimize cooling while providing electrical isolation and cell gas-venting channels. The battery module can include the integration of a heatsink in order to improve thermal performance. Thermally conductive pads can be provided to create an electrically isolated interface between a plurality of series-connected battery-cell lead plates, at different potentials, and the heatsink. Optimization, by stacking thin and thick thermally conductive pads, allows for creation of gas-venting channels along the positive cell terminal locations. In some arrangements, a plurality of fluid paths are disposed between the inlet and the outlet of the battery module to provide heat convective airflow through the battery module.

Abstract: An automatic transfer switch includes a motor and a drive shaft rotatable by the motor. The automatic transfer switch includes a gear rotatable by the drive shaft. The automatic transfer switch includes a pin attached to, and movable with, the gear. The pin is offset from the central axis of the gear. The automatic transfer switch includes a bracket rotatable around the central axis of the gear and connected to an output shaft. The bracket is rotatable separately from the gear. Upon rotation of the bracket, the output shaft rotates. The bracket has at least a first source position and a second source position and the first and second source positions are different. The automatic transfer switch includes a module connected to the output shaft. The module includes at least one movable electrical contact which moves upon rotation of the output shaft.

Abstract: An airflow system for an enclosed portable generator is provided that efficiently cools internal components by collecting an airflow and directing the entire airflow past a heat generating component such as an inverter module assembly before releasing the airflow in an unrestricted manner into an open interior space of the portable inverter generator. The airflow system includes an intake plenum system with a plenum body configured to collect and concentrate a volume of air as an intake airflow and to damp sound emission from a front side of housing of the generator.
