    摘要: Various implementations described herein are directed to a system comprising energy storage circuits connected in series. Each energy storage circuit may comprise a first terminal, a second terminal, an energy storage unit, a pre-charge circuit, and/or a bypass diode. The energy storage unit and the pre-charge circuit may be connected in series to form a series connection between the first terminal and the second terminal, while the bypass diode may be connected in parallel to the series connection. The pre-charge circuit may be configured to close a first current path between the first terminal and the second terminal based on receiving a signal. The bypass diode may be configured to, based on the voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal having an opposite polarity to the voltage across the energy storage unit, close a second current path between the first terminal and the second terminal.

    摘要: A system includes a central controller for determining at least one parameter for a load connector of a load. The system also includes a central transceiver for transmitting a signal relating to the least one parameter of the load connector. The load connector comprises input terminals for connecting to power lines of a power distribution network, output terminals for connecting to the load, a switch for connecting/disconnecting the input terminals to/from the output terminals, a connector transceiver for receiving the signal, a voltage sensor for measuring a voltage across the input terminals, and a connector controller. The connector controller may determine a voltage disconnect threshold for the load connector based on the at least one parameter. The connector controller may control the switch to connect the output terminals to the input terminals based on a voltage measurement and the voltage disconnect threshold.
