US Patent Issued to CLEMSON UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION on June 24 for "Topology agnostic detection and location of fault in DC microgrid using local measurements" (South Carolina Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,341,333, issued on June 24, was assigned to CLEMSON UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (Clemson, S.C.).

"Topology agnostic detection and location of fault in DC microgrid using local measurements" was invented by Sukumar Brahma (Clemson, S.C.) and Munim Bin Gani (Clemson, S.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods of determining fault location on a DC microgrid feeder need to be extremely fast to protect the circuit breaker and converter-source components. This disclosure develops a seminal theoretical foundation for fast fault location on a DC feeder that uses only single-ended local measurements in time domain. The theory prov...
