Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a power generating asset coupled to an electrical grid. Accordingly, a controller receives an environmental data set indicative of at least one environmental variable projected to affect the power generating asset over a plurality of potential modeling intervals. The controller then determines the variability of the environmental data set and a corresponding modeling-confidence level at each of the potential modeling intervals based on the variability. A modeling interval is thus selected corresponding to a desired modeling-confidence level. A computer-implemented model is employed to predict a future power profile for the power generating asset over the selected modeling interval. The future power profile is indicative of a power-delivery capacity of the power generating asset at each of a plurality of time intervals of the modeling interval.

Abstract: A system for controlling a hybrid power generation plant is provided. The system is programmed to receive current conditions at the plurality of power generating assets including a first asset type and a second asset type, determine a forecast for a period of time based at least in part on the current conditions, determine that a first asset of the first asset type of the plurality of power generating assets has an available uprate margin for production of a first amount of active power, determine that a second asset of the second asset type of the plurality of power generating assets has capacity to generate a second amount of reactive power, instruct the first asset to reduce production of reactive power by the second amount and increase production of active power by the first amount, and instruct the second asset to increase production of reactive power by the second amount.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for dynamic role-based evaluation of access permissions. The system is configured to generate a database comprising a plurality of job roles and associated access permissions. A job role of a particular user is identified from the database by the system, and the job role is matched to a set of access permissions based on a comparison of the user's job role to the database. The user is authorized for the set of access permissions and generally does not authorize the user for any other access permissions. The system may compile a compliance database comprising the plurality of access permissions and compliance criteria associated with each access permission. When the system receives a user request for accessing an outlier access permission, the system determines whether the user meets the compliance criteria of that outlier access permission before authorizing the outlier access permission.
