Abstract: Systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of power switch control are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a power switch comprising a thyristor-based branch including a thyristor device; a FET-based branch coupled in parallel with the thyristor-based branch and including a FET device; and a controller. The controller is structured to turn on the FET device, turn on the thyristor device after turning on the FET device based on a thyristor voltage threshold, and update the thyristor voltage threshold based on a voltage measurement corresponding to the thyristor-based branch measured while the thyristor device is turned on.

Abstract: A method of operating a static transfer switch is provided. The method includes monitoring a voltage waveform for each phase of first and second power sources, and calculating flux for each phase of the power sources. The method also includes determining (i) a first flux difference between the respective flux of the first phases of the first and second power sources, (ii) a second flux difference between the respective flux of the second phases of the first and second power sources, and (iii) a third flux difference between the respective flux of the third phases of the first and second power sources. The method further includes turning off a third solid-state switch to disconnect the third phase of the first power source from a load, in response to the controller determining that the third flux difference is greater the first and second flux differences.

Abstract: A method includes energizing a transformer from a deenergized state by turning on a solid-state transfer switch to conductively couple a power source on a first side of the solid-state transfer switch and a transformer on a second side of the solid-state transfer switch, and evaluating an inrush current to the transformer from the power source. The method includes turning off the solid-state transfer switch to conductively decouple the power source and the transformer in response to the inrush current meeting a first criterion, determining a recoupling timing for the solid-state transfer switch, and turning on the solid-state transfer switch in response to the recoupling timing effective to complete energization of the transformer with the inrush current to the transformer being limited by the first criterion.

Abstract: A method for determining a charging price for an electric charging site includes receiving time tags and data obtained based on automated metering infrastructure (AMI) data for the electric charging site, and weather information for a service area of the electric charging site; clustering power consumption of the electric charging site with similar weather information and time tags; calculating a center of mass and a distribution confidence parameter for the clustered power consumption to obtain a look-up table; retrieving historical information of voltage VPCC and injection power Psite pairs that is measured at a point of common coupling (PCC) of the electric charging site; receiving weather forecast information for the service area of the electric charging site; and calculating a dynamic hosting capacity (DHC) curve and a price curve based on the center of mass and the distribution confidence parameter, the VPCC and Psite pairs, and the weather forecast information.

Abstract: In one aspect, a solid-state switching apparatus is provided that includes a pair of anti-parallel thyristors, a quasi-resonant turn-off circuit, a sensor, and a control circuit. The turn-off circuit is coupled in parallel with the pair of anti-parallel thyristors and includes a first selectively conductive path and a second selectively conductive path. The sensor is configured to sense a thyristor current conducted by at least one of the pair of anti-parallel thyristors. The control circuit is configured to receive the sensed thyristor current from the sensor and determine a magnitude of the sensed thyristor current and a polarity of the sensed thyristor current. The control circuit is further configured to activate, in response to determining that the magnitude is greater than a threshold value, one of the first selectively conductive path and the second selectively conductive path based on the polarity to commutate and interrupt the thyristor current.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that can accelerate the turn off time for a thyristor current interrupter. Following commutation of a load current from a main thyristor to an auxiliary turn-off unit, a capacitor of the auxiliary turn-off unit can provide a resonant current to create a zero current crossing for turning the main thyristor off, as well as provide a reverse bias voltage for the main thyristor. The auxiliary turn-off unit can hold the main thyristor off and facilitate sufficient time being available for main thyristor to block forward system voltage. A voltage level of another capacitor of the auxiliary turn-off unit can, with a switch of the auxiliary turn-off unit and the main thyristor turned off, be increased to a level that triggers at least one voltage-clamping unit to absorb electrical power from that capacitor. The load current passing in the auxiliary turn-off unit can be decreased as the electrical power is absorbed to a level at which one or more auxiliary thyristor switches of the auxiliary turn-off unit can be turned off.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hybrid resonant capacitor circuit including a first capacitor configured to discharge resonant current to interrupt a load current to a switch in parallel with the hybrid resonant capacitor circuit, a second capacitor coupled in parallel with the first capacitor, wherein the second capacitor is configured to transfer energy stored in the second capacitor to the first capacitor after discharge of the resonant current from the first capacitor, and a current limiter coupled in series with the second capacitor. A static transfer switch including a thyristor switch and the hybrid resonant capacitor circuit is also disclosed herein, as is a method for facilitating multiple consecutive voltage source transfers between a first voltage source and a second voltage source powering a load, using the hybrid resonant capacitor circuit.
