  • Patent number: 10732319
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product. Weather forecast data is generated with respect to an area encompassing a location of a solar farm by a computer system. Solar power output by the solar farm is forecasted by the computer system based on the generated weather forecast data. Forecasted solar power output data is generated by the computer system based on the forecasted solar power output by the solar farm. A power grid operation, including one or both of a power grid balancing operation and a power grid optimization operation, is performed based on the forecasted solar power output data.

  • Patent number: 10598157
    Abstract: Historical electrical power output measurements of a wind turbine for a time period immediately preceding a specified past time are received. Historical wind speed micro-forecasts for the geographic location of the wind turbine, for a time period immediately preceding the specified past time and for a time period immediately following the specified past time are received. Based on the historical electrical power output measurements and the historical wind speed micro-forecasts, a trained machine learning model for predicting wind power output of the wind turbine is generated. Real-time electrical power output measurements of the wind turbine and real-time wind speed micro-forecasts for the geographic location of the wind turbine are received. Using the trained machine learning model with the real-time electrical power output measurements of the wind turbine and the real-time wind speed micro-forecasts, a wind power output forecast for the wind turbine at a future time is outputted.

  • Patent number: 10566835
    Abstract: Detecting an outage in an alternating current (AC) electrical network. One or more time-stamped and location-stamped data packets, each data packet including magnetic sensor data collected by one or more non-contact magnetic sensors in a mobile device in proximity to the AC electrical network are received. Based on the magnetic sensor data, it is determined that an outage exists in the AC electrical network.

  • Publication number: 20020075251
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a software routine executable by an image display system that controls at least one video timing signal (for example, the pixel clock signal) supplied to a display subsystem. More specifically, the software routine, adjusts the video timing signal in response to detection that the system is switching between power modes. The software routine preferably updates the video timing signal such that the system conserves power in response to detection that the system is switching from AC-powered operation to limited DC-powered operation.
