Publication number: 20240146101Abstract: A method and system for controlling voltage and/or reactive power for electrical grids includes monitoring the output of the energy generation facilities at the point of interconnection (POI) of each energy generation facility to the power system of the electrical grid. In addition, the voltage at a point of utilization (POU) is monitored to determine when the output voltage of the energy generation facilities must be adjusted to maintain voltage at the POU. In addition, when it is determined that energy generation facilities are exchanging reactive power, the voltage set points of the energy generation facilities are adjusted to reduce the exchanged power.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Power Engineers, IncorporatedInventors: Christopher W. Canine, Aaron M. Cowan

Publication number: 20240134320Abstract: An asset management system helps ensure the safety of technicians performing maintenance on electrical power generation assets. The system includes an electronic device operated by a technician. Prior to performing maintenance on a power generation asset, the technician utilizes the electronic device to scan an identification marker on the asset. The electronic device then retrieves, from an asset database, status data regarding the safety status of the asset. The electronic device displays the status data to the technician.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: POWER Engineers, IncorporatedInventors: Christopher William Canine, Charles Mark Koenig
