Poorly matched electrical power systems (e.g., those with a poor power factor and crosstalk interference) that create a high transient demand for power result in unnecessarily high power bills. High transient demand for power may be decreased, and power bills thereby reduced, by placing an energy storage element near the entity's power input, thereby reducing crosstalk. The energy storage element may comprise a plurality of de-tuned capacitors. A reactive element may be placed in series with the energy storage element to repress high-frequency harmonics and to reduce electrical noise. The energy storage element and/or the reactive element may be configurable. A control module may reconfigure the system responsive to measurements obtained at the entity and/or user commands received over a network or at the module itself.

Systems and methods for conditioning and controlling power usage

A digital communication system includes a generator for generating a plurality of pulse trains, each having a different timing, and pre-compensation circuitry for synchronizing the plurality of pulse trains to a timing signal. The system also includes comparison circuitry for simultaneously comparing a received burst code signal to each of the plurality of pulse trains, where the burst code signal is synchronized to the timing signal, and a detector for detecting which of the pulse trains is a closest temporal match to the burst code signal. The pre-compensation circuitry operates to reduce acquisition time and keep PN code uncertainties within the range of the comparison circuitry.
