MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621022494 A) filed by Varnilix Private Limited, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 25, for 'system and methods for distributed autonomous reactive power compensation.'
Inventor(s) include Kankal, Akshay Anil.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system (100) and methods for distributed autonomous reactive power compensation configured to inject reactive current at load terminals to minimize internal facility distribution losses. The system (100) includes edge nodes (102a, 102b, 102c) that includes microcontroller (120), metering Integrated Circuit (122), and force-guided relays (130) for engaging capacitor banks (106a, 106b, 106c). The metering IC (122) triggers a high-priority interrupt when measured total harmonic distortion exceeds a safety threshold, causing the microcontroller (120) to autonomously disengage the capacitor banks (106a, 106b, 106c) independent of central gateway commands. During power failures, the microcontroller (120) utilizes a supercapacitor (138) to analyze a Rate Of Change Of Frequency and voltage decay of a back-electromotive force, distinguishing between grid outages and breaker trips. A hardware-interlocked commissioning method keeps a relay driver (128) in a physically inhibited state until a current deviation between an internal sensor and an external reference is validated against threshold."
