  • Patent number: 11545830
    Abstract: A photovoltaic system can include multiple photovoltaic power inverters that convert sunlight to power. An amount of power for each of the inverters can be measured over a period of time. These measurements, along with other data, can be collected. The collected measurements can be used to generate artificial neural networks that predict the output of each inverter based on input parameters. Using these neural networks, the total solar power generation forecast for the photovoltaic system can be predicted.

  • Publication number: 20220325913
    Abstract: An HVAC control system having a cloud-based optimization engine in communication with a local building hub that interfaces with the building HVAC system and room units. The cloud-based optimization engine implements an optimal and predictive control strategy to integrate occupancy prediction, weather forecasting, and modeling of indoor infection risk, indoor air quality, and building energy consumptions. The control strategy includes a model-based predictive control and a model-free reinforcement learning approach. The control strategy considers outdoor weather (both thermal and air quality) conditions, indoor occupancy and requirements for IAQ and infectious risk reduction to decide whether outdoor air should be introduced and how much fresh air will be introduced into the space. Communications with the building hub allow the local HVAC unit to be driven according to the optimization plan. Individual room sensing units can provide local sensor data to the cloud-based optimization engine.

  • Patent number: 11436691
    Abstract: Measurements of energy usage including details of power consumption can be stored for power usage devices. The measurements of energy usage can be used to predict future consumption for each of the power usage devices. A power consumption can be modified using the prediction. The energy cost can be optimized based using the prediction, such as, for example, by modifying a power consumption of one of the power usage devices.

  • Patent number: 11119817
    Abstract: Managing service container dependency is provided. A notification that a first service container is running on a host environment is received. It is determined whether the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment. In response to determining that the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment, it is determined whether the second service container is running on the host environment. In response to determining that the second service container is not running on the host environment, service requests from the first service container to the second service container are responded to using stub data that corresponds to the second service container.

  • Patent number: 11026164
    Abstract: A method for wireless automatic networking includes: pre-selecting N frequencies for frequency-hopping, if a relay node requires frequency hopping, then transmitting a beacon to routing nodes, if the routing nodes do not receive the beacon, then the routing nodes hop frequencies, search, and track until the beacon is received; work frequencies of the relay node, of the routing nodes, and of a terminal node are established in a shared channel; then, insofar as the transmit powers of the nodes are optimized, each routing node is tested for the presence of a frequency conflict with other routing nodes; if found, then frequencies are reassigned to the conflicting routing nodes until none of the frequencies of the routing nodes overlap each other; the relay node sequentially loads the frequencies of the routing nodes, and when frequency loading is completed for all of the routing nodes, a network enters a normal working state.
