Abstract: Provided herein are embodiments of systems, devices, and methods for a multi-mode, cross-platform design environment to deploy and monitor microgrid controllers rapidly, safely, and inexpensively. A multi-mode environment may run offline, real-time, and live. A cross-platform environment may run on different operating systems and environments. A design system may allow users (e.g., engineers, managers) to design, test, deploy, tune, and monitor microgrid controllers before and after deployment.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments of systems, devices and methods for improved optimization of FHC using a swarm optimization based intelligent scenario selection from local search (small step) and global search (large step) experiences for faster and better FHC.

Abstract: Provided herein are embodiments of systems, devices, and methods for a digital collaborative system for electric, water and gas engineering and operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for simulating fraction power and control in transportation systems under design conditions and/or utilizing real-time data.

Abstract: Generator dynamic model parameter estimation and tuning using online data and subspace state space models are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a sensor, a data acquisition network in communication with the sensor; a user console and an identification and tuning engine in communication with the data acquisition network, the user console, and a database. The database comprises one or more generator models, and the identification and tuning engine identifies and tunes parameters associated with a selected generator model.

Abstract: A power control system utilizing real-time power system operating data to effectuate predictive load shedding so as to accurately predict the need for and the optimal type of responsive action to a contingency—before the contingency actually occurs.

Abstract: Dynamic parameter tuning using particle swarm optimization is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system for dynamically tuning parameters comprising a control unit; and a system for receiving parameters tuned by the control unit. The control unit receives as input a model selection and definitions, and dynamically tunes a value for each parameter by using a modified particle swarm optimization method. The modified particle swarm optimization method comprises moving particle locations based on a particle's inertia, experience, global knowledge, and a tuning factor. The control unit outputs the dynamically tuned value for each parameter.
