A grid management platform is disclosed for predicting and mitigating peak electricity demand events using probabilistic modeling and cost-optimized control. The system includes a likelihood model that evaluates the probability of each remaining day within an evaluation interval being the peak load day. This is achieved through a Monte Carlo simulation engine that generates multiple stochastic realizations of future load trajectories based on historical data, forecast data, and forecast error profiles derived from back testing. The system computes likelihood scores and classifies days using optimized bin thresholds that minimize operational cost, considering demand charges, available distributed energy resources, and forecast uncertainty. Based on the predicted likelihoods, the platform generates actionable insights and transmits control signals to grid-connected assets such as batteries, HVAC systems, and electric vehicle chargers to shift or reduce load during predicted peak periods.

A voltage controller device, a method for determining the optimized operating point and a voltage control system for branched electrical energy distribution networks including voltage meters installed at the points where it is of interest to control the voltage, internally having communication in the LPWA standard. An LPWA modem collects this information and passes it on to the Branched Network Voltage Controller, which internally has the specialist algorithm for the calculation of the Tap that must be selected in the Voltage Regulator so that the voltages at all points of interest are as much as possible within the specified limits. For this, it sends a command to the Voltage Regulator controller in the form of a voltage at the input of the TP, being compatible with the legacy in the field, or in the form of a command in an application protocol for compatible Voltage Regulator controllers.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a method for controlling a plurality of renewable energy generators. The method comprises: determining preliminary reactive power set points for the generators based on a reactive power reference value; determining generator-based and voltage-based reactive power limits for the generators; generating dispatch signals for requesting reactive power from the generators based on the preliminary set point and the limits; and dispatching the dispatch signals to the generators. The generator-based reactive power limits correspond to the reactive power capability of the generator. The voltage-based limits are determined by: determining a terminal voltage of the generator; comparing the determined terminal voltage to a voltage limit; and determining the voltage-based reactive power limit based on the comparison.

Detection of sub-synchronous oscillations in an electrical system for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating grid issues associated with large and fast load fluctuations. An Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) of an electrical system detects energy-related signals associated with the electrical system and processes the energy-related data to identify non-harmonic frequencies of interest.
