  • Patent number: 12573853
    Abstract: A control system is provided for controlling multiple power sources of a power system. The control system calculates real and reactive power set points for each of the power sources utilizing: (1) a feedforward power compensation function that provides optimized site level set points; (2) a real power set point derivation scheme in which the real power set points are selected based on the energy capacity of the energy storage devices; (3) a state of charge (SOC) balancing scheme that substantially balances the state of charge of the energy storage devices; (4) a remainder function to account for real-time limits imposed by the equipment; and/or (5) a reactive power set point derivation scheme in which the reactive power set points are selected to minimize the total apparent power across the power sources.

  • Publication number: 20160019649
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates generally to a method and system for evaluating asset classes and investment categories. Financial advisors, for example, may use the disclosed technology to talk to investors about diversification. The disclosed technology allows users to explore and visualize the concept of diversification. The disclosed technology may also be used to help explain and reinforce the importance of diversification by highlighting the relative volatility of the asset classes. The disclosed technology, in certain embodiments, lets users explore performance of asset classes in several investment categories (e.g., equity, fixed-income, and alternatives) and shows how a diversified portfolio would have performed over the same time period.
