  • Publication number: 20240160803
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining a model of an electric power grid; simulating first behaviors of a region using a first time resolution and a first modeling domain to determine operational parameters. Determining first values for the operational parameters at a first transition. Converting the first values into a second modeling domain at the first transition time point to obtain converted first values for initial conditions. Simulating second behaviors of the region using a second time resolution and the second modeling domain to determine second operational parameters. Providing, as output, simulation results from at least one of the first behaviors and the second behaviors.

  • Publication number: 20220416571
    Abstract: A method for electrical grid monitoring using aggregated smart meter data includes receiving, from an electric grid monitoring device, electrical data aggregated from a plurality of electric meters each connected to a secondary side of at least one electrical transformer within a local geographic region. Each electric meter is configured to generate measurement data based on measurements taken at a respective electrical load. The electrical data indicates one or more characteristics of a secondary electrical distribution system connected to the at least one electrical transformer. The method includes determining, based on the electrical data aggregated from the plurality of electric meters, one or more characteristics of the primary electrical distribution system connected to the electrical transformer.

  • Publication number: 20220343230
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors includes providing, for presentation by a display, a user interface including graphics depicting one or more fields for receiving input for simulations of electrical grid scenarios; receiving input for a scenario including a proposed modification to the electrical grid; performing a simulation by modeling the input in a virtual model of an electrical grid; modifying the user interface to include graphics depicting: one or more visualizations of results of the simulation for the scenario; and a menu of options for modifying the input; receiving a selection from the menu of options for modifying the input; performing a modified simulation by modeling the modified input in the virtual model of the electrical grid; and modifying the user interface to include graphics depicting one or more visualizations of the results of the simulation compared to the results of the modified simulation.

  • Publication number: 20220300679
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors includes receiving a request for an output of an electrical grid simulation, the request including data indicating one or more input parameters for the simulation; in response to receiving the request, accessing a virtual model of an electrical grid, the virtual model including multiple different model configurations; selecting, based on the requested output from the simulation, and based on the one or more input parameters for the simulation, (i) a simulation mode including a resolution and scale of the simulation and (ii) one of the multiple different model configurations; executing an electrical grid simulation in the selected simulation mode using the selected model configuration; and based on results of the electrical grid simulation, providing the requested output of the electrical grid simulation.
