  • Patent number: 12381393
    Abstract: A method may include receiving equipment parameters of the PV power plant including PV parameters of one or more PV arrays and inverter parameters of one or more inverters, and generating a prediction of the output of the PV power plant by generating a prediction of an output of the one or more PV arrays based on the PV parameters and environmental factors including solar irradiance and weather, selecting a first inverter response curve from a first set of inverter response curves and a second inverter response curve from a second set of inverter response curves, and generating, using the first inverter response curve, the second inverter response curve, the one or more of the environmental factors, and the prediction of the output of the one or more PV arrays, a prediction of the output of the one or more inverters.

  • Patent number: 12360502
    Abstract: A method may include initializing a simulation of a renewable energy plant with an initial set of plant parameters, simulating a first output of the renewable energy plant based on first environmental factors and the initial set of plant parameters, executing a machine-learning model using as input the first simulated output of the renewable energy plant and an actual output of the renewable energy plant to generate an updated set of plant parameters, and simulating a second output of the renewable energy plant based on second environmental factors and the updated set of plant parameters.

  • Patent number: 12271661
    Abstract: A method may include retrieving, from a geographic database, geographic information of a geographic area, segmenting the geographic area into one or more regions, executing a buildability algorithm using as input the geographic information to determine buildable portions of the one or more regions, executing a PV array placement algorithm using as input a total area of the buildable portions of the one or more regions to determine a baseline PV capacity for the one or more regions, executing the PV array placement algorithm using as input the buildable portions of the one or more regions to determine an actual PV capacity for the one or more regions, and generating a data structure to associate the one or more regions with a respective ratio of the baseline PV capacity to the actual PV capacity for each of the one or more regions.

  • Publication number: 20250111456
    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for generating a land score are provided. The method includes receiving a request for a land score calculation from an application on a user device; receiving, from a graphical user interface, a selection of a land site to evaluate; obtaining multiple data inputs relating to the land site; excluding portions of the land site; calculating the land score for the land site; determining, based on the land score, a ranking for the land based on the land score; determining multiple layouts for building based on the ranking; and displaying the layouts via the graphical user interface.
