Patent number: 11525375Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). The method may include creating a variant control profile for the CCPP for a power plant model of the CCPP. The method may include modifying the variant control profile in response to the variant control profile not reducing the fuel consumption or meeting the quality threshold. The method may also include adjusting the CCPP to use the variant control profile in response to the variant control profile reducing the fuel consumption and meeting the quality threshold. Using the variant control profile adjusts a turbine section inlet temperature schedule or an exhaust temperature schedule for the CCPP.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Nilesh Tralshawala, David Spencer Ewens, Difei Wang, Karthik Subramanyan, Anthony Bruce Campbell

Patent number: 11188156Abstract: An artificial reality system can display notifications in various configurations including in a minimized version or a maximized version. The artificial reality system can initially display a minimized version of the notification. Upon identifying a first trigger event, such as the user's gaze resting on the minimized version of the notification or a rotation of a user's wrist, the artificial reality system can change the display of the notification from the minimized version to the maximized version. The artificial reality system can identify a second trigger event, such as the user's gaze not being directed to the maximized version of the notification or a rotation of the wrist in an opposite direction from the first wrist rotation. In response to the second trigger event, the artificial reality system can stop display of the maximized version of the notification.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Anastasia Victor-Faichney, Alexander Chen Runke, Difei Wang, Flavio Mattos de Carvalho

Publication number: 20210317782Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for operating a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). The method may include generating a power plant model for operating the CCPP, determining whether at least two gas turbines in the power plant model generate a power output, and modeling a fuel consumption of the CCPP for a baseline split ratio between the at least two gas turbines. The method may also include determining whether the variant split ratio meets a quality threshold for the CCPP, and adjusting the CCPP to use the variant split ratio in response to the variant split ratio meeting the quality threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2020Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Nilesh Tralshawala, Difei Wang, David Spencer Ewens, Karthik Subramanyan, Aditya Kumar, Junqiang Zhou, Anthony Bruce Campbell

Patent number: 8892382Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for condition-based power plant sensor calibration. According to one embodiment of the invention, a system can be provided. The system can include a computer processor. The system can also include a memory operable to store computer-executable instructions operable to: receive data from the one or more power plant sensors; reconcile detected errors within the data from the one or more power plant sensors; calibrate the one or more power plant sensors based at least in part on the detected errors within the data; generate at least one performance model based at least in part on the reconciled data from the one or more power plant sensors; detect anomalies within the at least one performance model; and tune the at least one performance model to account for the anomalies.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Difei Wang, Erwing Calleros, Rahul J.

Publication number: 20130110424Abstract: A power meter includes a power detection unit to sense a level of consumed power in at least a portion of a building and to output sensed power level data, a timing unit to designate a predetermined period of time, and an analysis unit. The analysis unit receives the sensed power level data, determines whether the level of consumed power is abnormal by generating a representative value representative of the level of consumed power over the predetermined period of time, compares the representative value to a threshold value, and outputs an alert to a remote device when it is determined that the consumed power is abnormal based at least on the comparison of the representative value to the threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Roopesh Bhaskaran Nagathil, Jitendra Kumar, Dattaraj Jagdish Rao, David Lee Rogers, Difei Wang
