Systems and Methods of an Uncertainty Platform for Risk Assessment and Control Room Operations for Energy Grid Operators
Computer implemented systems and methods for providing an uncertainty platform for an energy grid controller that (1) receives risk inputs including (a) one or more load forecasts, (b) one or more wind forecasts, (c) one or more solar forecasts, (d) one or more generator availability risk forecasts, (e) one or more generator fail-to-start or fail-to-run predictions, (f) one or more net scheduled interchange forecasts, and/or (g) one or more transmission congestion forecasts; (2) determines net uncertainty for a predetermined time period based on the risk inputs; and (3) provides dynamic risk outputs including forecast scenarios, reserve requirements and/or reserve margin thresholds based on the determination of net uncertainty.
Building control systems with optimization of equipment life cycle economic value while participating in IBDR and PBDR programs
A method includes determining control setpoints for equipment based on a time-varying availability of green energy and revenue from an incentive program of an energy provider. The method also includes controlling the equipment using the control setpoints.
Method for detecting foreign material, and device and system therefor
A method of receiving power by a wireless power receiver, the method including transmitting, to a wireless power transmitter, a plurality of packets including a foreign object detection (FOD) status packet; and receiving, from the wireless power transmitter, a response signal indicating whether a foreign object is present in a charging area of the wireless power transmitter, wherein the response signal is determined using a measured peak frequency of a power signal transmitted by the wireless power transmitter and a reference peak frequency included in the FOD status packet received from the wireless power receiver, and wherein the plurality of packets further include at least one of a signal strength packet, an end power transfer packet, a power control hold-off packet, a configuration packet, an identification packet for transmitting receiver identification information, an extended identification packet, a general request packet, a special request packet, a control error packet, a renegotiation packet, a 24-bit received power packet, an eight-bit received power packet, and a charging status packet.
Trip predictor algorithm
Systems and methods are disclosed for automated power plant unit trip prediction and control. Power plant controls may have limited time to manage the plant loads when one of the units trips unexpectedly. To mitigate any consequences on a power grid associated with a trip event, these systems and methods may allow for prediction of such trip events. The predictions may allow a signal to be provided to a controller in sufficient time for the controller to automatically take any necessary action to mitigate any impacts of the future trip event.
Innovative Electrical Panel
An innovative electrical panel configured to switch between solar/battery mode and power grid mode connected to a main input power source and a solar input power source, a battery input power source or any combination thereof wherein one or more standard circuit breakers or one or more custom wireless circuit breakers are configured to utilize one or more fast-switching components that are configured to alternate one or more circuit breakers between the main input power source and the solar, a battery or any combination thereof, input power source.
INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires state data indicating a state of a monitoring target device from a communication device of the monitoring target device, which is an energy storage device or a power supply related device, or from a communication device of a system including a plurality of the monitoring target devices by communication; a storage processing unit that stores the acquired state data in a storage medium in association with identification data of the monitoring target device or the system; and a transmission processing unit that transmits, in response to a request from an outside or as an event, display information collectively displaying the state data stored in the storage medium and a communication state with the communication device while the state data and the communication state are distinguished from each other for each monitoring target device or system.
