  • Patent number: 10666059
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for controlling a power generation system that includes a plurality of power generating assets; and an energy management system including a controller in communication with the assets and configured to control operation of the assets. The controller is operative to assign the assets to a regulation pool; determine an effective control mode for each asset; and control the assets based on the determined effective control mode of each asset. The effective control mode for each asset is calculated based upon an asset pool control mode. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10599107
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for smart grid dynamic regulation pools. The system may include at least one processor configured to initiate a plurality of pool regulation tasks that are respectively executed by different processing resources. The pool regulation tasks respectively manage respective subsets of electrical power assets assigned to respective different regulation pools to fulfill electrical power requirements for market orders received from at least one energy trading market system. Such management may include determining whether to reassign at least one asset to fulfill at least one market order. Also responsive to a determination to reassign the at least one asset, the management may include removing the at least one asset from one regulation pool managed with one pool regulation task for at least one market order and assigning the removed asset to another regulation pool managed with another pool regulation task for at least one market order.

  • Patent number: 10152076
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates aggregation of a plurality of controllable distributed energy resources (DERs). A processor may be configured to determine DER forecasts including non-influenced power profile forecasts for a plurality of DERs that include different types of load assets that consume power, for when the DERs are not influenced via dispatches from the system, based at least in part on different physics characteristics associated with the different types of the DERs. The processor may also determine a combined reserve capacity forecast for aggregated DERs including both power assets that output power and the different types of load assets, based at least in part on an aggregation of the non-influenced power profile forecasts. In addition, the processor may control at least some of the plurality of DERs based at least in part on the combined reserve capacity forecast.

  • Patent number: 6571133
    Abstract: A method, in particular for monitoring, controlling and adjusting a process, wherein a signal processing instruction is synthesized on a computer-assisted user interface by arranging and connecting icons (6, 7), and generated by the computer from base modules containing individual instructions, one base module being allocated to each icon (6, 7), and the individual instructions of the selected base modules being linked to one another according to the graphic integration of the symbols (6, 7) for transmitting and/or processing data.

  • Patent number: 4843535
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching power supply with a battery branch circuit provided for an emergency power supply, which can, similar to the primary circuit, be switched on in case of an emergency, by a switching transistor (13, 43). The battery branch circuit is connected in parallel with the secondary winding (7, 37) of transformer (4) and poled unidirectional with the current pulses which are induced in the secondary winding (7, 37) from the primary side during mains operation. The second switching transistor (13, 43) is switched on during the respective on-phase of the primary-side switching transistor (6), but, relative to this, is switched on later and switched off earlier.
