Patent number: 11157031Abstract: A dynamic auto-adaptive volt/VAR control includes a memory storing program code, a communications channel operatively connected to a volt/VAR device, and a processor. The processor is configured to access a database of prior system knowledge and receive real-time measurements and power system operating condition information. The processor processes the prior system knowledge and the real time measurements and operating condition information to create a set of commands for voltage and reactive power control that will result in at least one of: (a) maintaining a voltage profile at the volt/VAR device within predefined limits, or (b) reducing electrical losses through voltage optimization. The processor causes the set of commands to be sent to the volt/VAR device.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Opus One Solutions Energy Corp.Inventors: Joshua Wong, Aboelsood Zidan, Mostafa Farouk Shaaban

Publication number: 20190163150Abstract: An integrated microgrid management system includes hardware operating as a node on an electrical power network. The node includes memory storing program code, a communications channel operatively connected to a plurality of controllable power devices, and a processor. In an embodiment, the processor is configured to implement a three-phase AC unbalanced model of a microgrid network, for both low and medium voltage networks. The processor is further configured to implement a topology processor that creates a map identifying controllable power devices that are connected to the network and how said controllable power devices are connected. The processor also implements an online power flow engine that uses the map and the three-phase AC unbalanced model of the network to generate commands to control the plurality of controllable power devices. Adaptive self-configuration logic and an optimization engine that performs multi-objective optimization are further disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2018Publication date: May 30, 2019Applicant: Opus One Solutions Energy Corp.Inventors: Joshua Wong, Cedric Tai, Reza Iravani, Milan Graovac, Xiaolin Wang, Subramaniam Harisuthan
