  • Publication number: 20160365162
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for generating optimal power plant decommissioning plans based on stakeholder constraints. In example embodiments, the method may include receiving one or more constraints for determining a power plant decommissioning plan. The method further includes accessing decommissioning strategy data representing a plurality of possible decommissioning plans, and generating a decommissioning plan in accordance with the constraints based on the decommissioning strategy data. The method may further include causing presentation of a user interface on a client device that includes a graphical representation of the power plant decommissioning plan.

  • Patent number: 7869984
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system to simulate a process of discrete tasks having a plurality of available resources associated therewith. The system may comprise a model database to store a plurality of models, each model including a plurality of task and resource parameters; a model portion in communication with the model database and configured to receive commands from a user, to retrieve one of the plurality of models and corresponding task and resource parameters in response to a user command, to receive input data corresponding to attributes of one or more task and resource parameters from a business database system, and to generate a simulation model based on the selected business database system and the input data; and a model server to perform a simulation of the process by processing the simulation model and to generate an output data file containing output data representative of the simulation.

  • Patent number: 7110970
    Abstract: An integrated system organizes a company's experiences, operating procedures, best practices, information sources, competitive information and analytical tools. The goal is increasing profitability within a due diligence process while facilitating ongoing operations. The system incorporates a method for collaborating on due diligence issues to affect knowledge building within due diligence teams. The method includes accessing stored, accumulated knowledge in a repository from prior due diligence exercises, applying to due diligence decisions criteria based on consolidated analytical building blocks of past due diligence exercises and storing newly accumulated knowledge from the current due diligence exercise into the repository of accumulated knowledge.
