US Patent Issued to Caterpillar on March 31 for "Remote sensing and control at the point of common coupling in an electrical grid" (Illinois Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,592,583, issued on March 31, was assigned to Caterpillar Inc. (Peoria, Ill.).

"Remote sensing and control at the point of common coupling in an electrical grid" was invented by Marcelo C. Algrain (Dunlap, Ill.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are described for compensating for differences in conditions at the PoC and PCC by determining an adjustment to a PoC setpoint that adjusts a value of an electrical parameter at the PCC so as to approximate or equal a PCC setpoint. In some examples, for voltage regulation and protection functions (mandatory trips), the voltages and/or currents are sensed at the PCC (remote sensing) and fed...
