Camber Energy's Subsidiary Announces Notice of Allowance for Patent Covering Transmission Line Ground Fault Prevention System

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2023 / Camber Energy, Inc.'s (NYSE American:CEI) ('Camber' or the 'Company') majority-owned subsidiary, Viking Energy Group, Inc. ('Viking'), announced today that Viking's majority-owned subsidiary, Viking Protection Systems, LLC ('Viking Protection'), received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent & Trademark Office ('USPTO') for patent application No. 17/693,504 titled 'Electric Transmission Line Ground Fault Prevention Systems Using Dual, High Sensitivity Monitoring Devices'. A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes the determination that a patent should be granted from an application. A patent from the recently allowed application is expected to be issued in the coming weeks.

The prospective patent relates to Viking Protection's proprietary transmission line ground fault prevention system, which is designed to detect a break in a transmission line, or coupling failure, and to immediately de-energize the line, thus preventing an energized high voltage transmission line from contacting ground or a grounded structure. The technology is designed to be an integral component within a much-needed, worldwide grid hardening and stability initiative by electric utilities to improve resiliency and reliability of existing infrastructure. Viking Protection's software-based solution can be deployed within a utility's existing protective relay infrastructure, allowing the utility to protect its grid with greater confidence and reliability.

According to the United States Department of Energy (DOE)' Office of Electricity: (i) the country's electric infrastructure is aging and being pushed to do more than it was originally designed to do; (ii) the country's economy, national security and even the health and safety of its citizens depend on the reliable delivery of electricity; and (iii) modernizing the grid to make it 'smarter' and more resilient through the use of cutting-edge technologies, equipment, and controls that communicate and work together to deliver electricity more reliably and efficiently can greatly reduce the frequency and duration of power outages, reduce storm impacts, and restore service faster when outages occur.¹ Viking Protection's technology is at the forefront of this essential modernization initiative.
