Abstract: A method for controlling a triode for alternating current (TRIAC), applied to a device, is provided. A voltage is connected to an anode of the TRIAC, and a scaled down voltage is fed into an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) pin of the device. The method includes (1) tracking the voltage at the anode of the TRIAC; (2) applying a trigger pulse to a gate of the TRIAC for a preset time based on the voltage at the anode of the TRIAC reaching a threshold; and (3) detecting whether there is a dip that corresponds to the preset time in the scaled down voltage at the ADC pin of the device. The method further includes, in response to not detecting a dip corresponding to the preset time in the scaled down voltage at the ADC pin, (4) waiting an amount of time; and (5) repeating the steps (1)-(3).

Abstract: System controller and method for a power converter. For example, a system controller for a power converter includes a logic controller configured to generate a modulation signal, and a driver configured to receive the modulation signal, generate a drive signal based at least in part on the modulation signal, and output the drive signal to a switch to affect a current flowing through an inductive winding for a power converter. Additionally, the system controller includes a voltage-to-voltage converter configured to receive a first voltage signal, the modulation signal, and a demagnetization signal, and to generate a second voltage signal based at least in part on the first voltage signal, the modulation signal, and the demagnetization signal.

Abstract: In one aspect, a controller for managing electrical faults in a microgrid is provided. The microgrid includes electrical loads, electrical sources, and circuit protection devices that selectively couple the electrical loads and the electrical sources with each other. The controller comprises at least one processor configured to direct a grid tie switch to open to electrically isolate the microgrid from an electric grid, determine, in response to directing the grid tie switch to open, that an electrical fault exits in the microgrid, and determine whether a fault current of the electrical fault is less than a threshold value. The at least one processor is further configured to direct the grid tie switch to close to electrically connect the microgrid to the electric grid and increase the fault current above the threshold value in response to determining that the fault current is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, via at least one processor, a first set of data indicative of a fault being present and send a first signal to a breaker based on the first set of data. The first signal may cause the breaker to open a plurality of poles of the breaker. The method may then involve receiving a second set of data indicative of the fault being cleared and sending a second signal to the breaker based on the second set of data. The second signal may cause the breaker to close a first pole of the plurality of poles at a first time and close a second pole of the plurality of poles at a second time different from the first time.
