Abstract: In the context of an electrical utility system, changing cloud conditions may cause a customer having solar panels to greatly increase or decrease electrical demand in a difficult-to-predict manner. Accordingly, a spinning reserve maintained by an electric utility company must be larger, and is therefore more expensive. In an example, the spinning reserve may be managed by: calculating a stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption, wherein the calculating is based at least in part on smoothed estimates of consumption data. A stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load may be calculated by subtracting forecasts of real-time distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation data from the stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption. The spinning reserve of the electricity system may be controlled based at least in part on the stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing enhanced visualization of lifecycle information and management for a network, such as an industrial network, enable the creation/design of a virtualized network. The virtualized network eases the physical deployment/installation of a real network by using augmented reality (AR) to enable configuration/monitoring of the network using the virtualized network and real-time and/or historical information. Performance issues may be identified and visually conveyed to a user using AR overlay. The virtualized network may be created by a user via a network layout creation tool that combines both physical and logical mappings of devices and elements. One or more AR tools may be used to add, edit, remove, and/or manipulate elements of the network model using gestures. The virtualized network may be implemented as a digital twin of the location and used to assist in the physical deployment, maintenance, and monitoring of a network at the location.
