A system includes a wet extrusion process machine configured to receive, mix, and convey a plurality of ingredients to an extrusion die, the plurality of ingredients include a protein powder, an oil, and water. The system includes an electronic process control system (EPCS) configured to control the wet extrusion machine using a plurality of process settings effective to produce an extrusion die mixture which is forced into, passes through, and is output from the extrusion die. The system further includes a supervisory machine intelligence control system (SMICS) operatively coupled with at least one of a direct fibrosity measurement (DFM) subsystem configured to directly measure one or more physical fibrosity parameters of the extrusion die mixture, and an indirect fibrosity measurement (IFM) subsystem configured to measure one or more extrusion process parameters associated with the extrusion die mixture. The SMICS is configured to modify one or more of the plurality process settings in response to at least one of the one or more physical fibrosity parameters, and the one or more extrusion process parameters, effective to modify the extrusion die mixture.

Disclosed is a leakage current measuring device for a grid protection system protecting a power distribution or transmission grid from damage in case of a power surge, the grid protection system including a disconnector device and a surge arrester connected in series along a grounding path, the grounding path connecting a phase of a power distribution or transmission grid through the surge arrester and the disconnector device to ground, the disconnector device being configured for being activated in case of an overload condition, thereby disconnecting the surge arrester. The leakage current measuring device includes a leakage current sensor for measuring a leakage current Iflowing along the grounding path, the leakage current Ibeing indicative of the electrical connection status of the disconnector device. The electrical connection status is one of an activated and an inactivated status of the disconnector device.

Leakage current based remote monitoring device and method for disconnector devices

A device, a method and a system for monitoring an electrical connection status of a disconnector device are disclosed. The disconnector device is connectable to pole-mounted equipment in a power distribution or transmission grid, thereby disconnecting the pole-mounted equipment. The connection status monitoring device includes a determining section configured to determine whether the disconnector device has been activated and to generate connection status indicator data, indicative of whether the disconnector device has been activated. The determining section further includes a wireless communication section which is adapted to connect to a wireless communication infrastructure using a wireless communication protocol, and to transmit the connection status indicator data over the wireless communication infrastructure.
