Disclosed herein are AI-based platforms for enabling intelligent orchestration and management of power and energy. In various embodiments, a set of edge devices is configured to communicate with at least one energy generation facility, energy storage facility, and/or energy consumption system and automatically execute a set of preconfigured policies that govern energy generation, energy storage, or energy consumption of the respective energy generation facilities, energy storage facilities, or energy consumption systems. In some embodiments, the automatically executed policies are a set of contextual policies that adjust based on the current status of a set of energy generation entities in an energy grid.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for embedding energy source identification signals is provided. The present invention may include inducing an energy source identification signal into each of one or more electricity streams using one or more modulation techniques; receiving one or more redistributed electricity streams at an electricity consumption site from an electricity station; extracting one or more energy source identification signals from each of the one or more redistributed electricity streams using one or more demodulation techniques; and displaying visual information on a graphical user interface, wherein the visual information depicts de-embedded information in the extracted one or more energy source identification signals.

Provided is a power supply system. An all-in-one energy storage unit is connected to a grid-connected receptacle and an off-grid receptacle of a parallel socket. The parallel socket is connected to a fuel-powered generator. A bypass switch is connected between the grid-connected receptacle and the off-grid receptacle. When the power supply system is in an off-grid state and meets a load demand, the bypass switch is switched off; otherwise, the fuel-powered generator is controlled to start, and the bypass switch is switched on.

This disclosure describes methods and systems for optimizing operation of industrial steam and power utility systems across multiple facilities. A method involves: for each energy system at each facility: (a) performing equipment level data validation for the plurality of respective power generation equipment, (b) performing equipment level data reconciliation for the plurality of respective power generation equipment, (c) performing site-level optimization to determine equipment operating parameters for the plurality of respective power generation equipment; determining: (i) site-level constraints for the plurality of energy systems, and (ii) multi-site constraints across the plurality of energy systems; optimizing, based on the site-level constraints and the multi-site constraints, the equipment operating parameters for the plurality of respective power generation equipment across the plurality of energy systems.

Computing apparatus and methods to increase operational flexibility in an energy distribution system include using a transactive mechanism to adjust voltage supplied to a power grid by one or more distributed energy resources (DERs). In some examples of the disclosed technology, the transactive mechanism is configured to cause the one or more DERs to adjust a corresponding supply of voltage to the power grid in order to reach a targeted voltage difference across terminals of a switching device of the power grid, thereby enabling the switching device to be switched to increase reliability of the power grid.
