Latest Patents

Da Silva is associated with 1 patent, titled “Methods and Systems for Controlling a CHP Device in a Microgrid.” The invention describes a method for controlling a microgrid’s CHP device by setting an efficiency target based on the minimum CHP efficiency over an evaluation period. It updates historical microgrid data at each time step, calculates CHP efficiency from the updated data, and compares the result with the target. Based on that comparison, the method adjusts an efficiency weight parameter to help achieve the target over the evaluation period.

Career Highlights

Da Silva’s listed patent connects his work with energy-system management and microgrid control. The disclosed approach uses historical operating data and an adjustable parameter to guide CHP efficiency toward a defined target.

Collaborations

His listed coworker is Peter Pflaum. The available information identifies both inventors in connection with the CHP microgrid control patent.

Conclusion

Alejandro Yousef Da Silva’s patent focuses on improving how a CHP device is controlled within a microgrid, using historical data and adaptive efficiency weighting to pursue a defined performance target.
