  • Publication number: 20220115867
    Abstract: A control system for a power distribution grid including an electrical distribution circuit includes a processor configured to perform operations including constructing a grid model comprising edges and nodes representing assets and transmission paths of the power distribution grid, generating an analysis of an operation of the power distribution grid over a predetermined time duration, determining a plurality of constraint violations based on the analysis of the operation of the power distribution grid within the predetermined time duration, generating a plurality of alterations to the power distribution grid, respective ones of the plurality of alterations resolving at least one of the constraint violations, selecting a first alteration of the plurality of alterations to the power distribution grid responsive to determining that the selected first alteration resolves at least two of the plurality of constraint violations, and autonomously implementing the first alteration to the power distribution grid.

  • Publication number: 20040118126
    Abstract: A chemical solvent is utilized to preferentially remove CO2 from a H2S-rich acid gas stream, the acid gas stream being absorbed by the chemical solvent from a sour syngas stream. A chemical solvent such as alkanolamine is used in a unique process configuration to separate CO2 from the acid gas stream. The resulting acid gas is significantly higher in H2S concentration with a substantial quantity of CO2 being removed. The resulting CO2-rich gas is recovered at minimal pressure loss, and can be remixed with the resulting sweet syngas stream as a feed for a gas combustion turbine for increased power generation.
