Title: Hybrid renewable energy system dynamic management
Inventor: ROBERT TENNANT
IPC: H02J3/28
Filed: 2021-02-17
Abstract: A method 200 is performed on a system having a renewable energy source, energy storage device, one or more loads, and a grid connection for connecting at least temporarily to an external energy distribution grid. It generates a prediction of energy demand of the loads 210 using historical energy demand data 202, and a prediction of renewable energy availability 220 using weather forecast data 206. An amount of energy to be obtained from the distribution grid is determined from the predictions. An energy conservation strategy 240 is generated using the predictions and determined energy amount, and energy supplied to the energy storage devices and/or loads is adjusted 260 automatically according to the strategy. A state of charge (SoC) of the energy storage device(s) is predicted and compared to an actual energy SoC. The energy supplied by the batteries is adjusted (e.g. load-shedding, load interruption) in response to unplanned deviations from an expected SoC / measured battery component performance to provide a dynamic, short-term approach for dealing with unforeseen energy shortages, compensating for discrepancies between predicted and measured energy availabilities, and responding to abnormal or extreme conditions.

Title: Individual cigarette filter bearing a prefabricated chamber with or without a special casing
Inventor: STRATOS ALEXANDROS
IPC: A24D3/04
Filed: 1989-12-28
Abstract: A personal filter bearing a special pre-fabricated chamber and with a special casing or without it according to the case. The filter consists of a chamber made in such a way as to have in parallel (or slightly inclined) two of its sides while their distance apart is very small as seen on the illustration (sides 4α and 4b), and where each of these two chamber sides bears one or more small holes at a corresponding location upon their surface according to the working drawing. The chamber is placed inside the cigarette in such a way as to have all smoke inhaled by the smoker passing through the hole (or holes) of the first chamber side 4α, and due to the fact that the cross section of each hole is extremely small, the speed of inhaled smoke is greatly increased which, by falling with such increased speed upon the second side of the chamber 4b, located at a very small distance apart, results in solid and liquid smoke elements such as tar and nicotine etc. coming up against it causing deposition of the greatest part of such elements upon it based on the principles of Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics.. By using this filter on cigarettes the smoker is freed of the greatest part of the harmful elements contained in cigarettes such as tar, nicotine and other.
