  • Method for management and optimization of hydropower generation and consumption
    Patent number: 9811061
    Abstract: An optimization and management system using a global linearization approach and mixed integer linear programming to perform the dispatch and to schedule a river system for ten days forward while subject to real world, hourly physical, biological, environmental, and recreational constraints. The optimizer system uses a combination of slack variables and stitching methods to approximate a highly nonlinear optimization problem, thereby generating realtime generation schedules to promote to the management authority.

  • System and method for managing and optimizing power use
    Patent number: 7873442
    Abstract: A system and method to optimize the use of utility power. The system and method obtains real-time and scheduled data. The data is saved into a database. An application is run to optimize the use of the utility power based on forecasted load requirements and available resources. A schedule is produced after optimizing the desired use for the utility power for a given user.

  • System and method for managing utility power use
    Patent number: 7089190
    Abstract: A system for managing utility power use by ascertaining the amount of resources to be purchased from a power supplier, identifying transactions that balance energy needs with various users, and production of schedules that maximize or minimize potential revenue from surplus energy. To accomplish this, there are studied forecasted weather, historical weather patterns, industrial and seasonal loads, and other factors affecting timing and use of power.
