Dielectric energy storage systems

A Dielectric Energy Storage System Management System (DESS-MS) for a Dielectric Energy Storage System (DESS) comprising of:

• an information processing system comprising at least one processor, main memory, persistent memory, and at least one communication interface;
• one or more sensor modules connected to one or more Dense Energy Ultra-Cell (DEUC) Elements, where the one or more DEUC Elements are respective one or more subcomponents of a Dielectric Energy Storage Module (DESM) in a Dielectric Energy Storage System (DESS), the one or more sensor modules and the DESM being operatively coupled to the at least one processor;
• where each sensor module in the one or more sensor modules, operatively coupled with the at least one processor, is configured to monitor measured values of one or more physical conditions of the respective one or more subcomponents of the DESM based on one or more operational parameters of the DESM, and to generate sensor data corresponding to the monitored measured values of the one or more physical conditions, and to communicate the sensor data to the at least one processor;
• where the one or more sensor modules and the DESM, operatively coupled with the at least one processor, are communicatively coupled to a network for sensor data to be transmitted from the one or more sensor modules to a control unit, for analysis, and the at least one processor is communicatively coupled with the control unit, to receive commands therefrom, where in response to receiving a command the at least one processor, operatively coupled with the DESM, controlling features and functions and updating the operational parameters, of the DESM;
• where each sensor module of said one or more sensor modules has a programmable address to allow the at least one processor to determine a position of the each sensor module and the one or more subcomponents of the DESM that said each sensor module represents;
• where the at least one processor, operatively coupled to the one or more sensor modules, records measured values of the one or more subcomponents of the DESM that exceed one or more threshold values of the DESM;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor, operatively coupled to the one or more sensor modules, is configured to report a fault condition, detected by the at least one processor, to the control unit, based on the measured values and the one or more threshold values.
