  • Patent number: 11651305
    Abstract: Systems and methods of achieving feasibility of optimization constraints. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a request associated with an original set of constraints and determine an irreducible infeasible subset (IIS) of the original set of constraints. The electronic processor is also configured to remove the IIS from the original set of constraints resulting in a subset of remaining constraints of the original set of constraints. The electronic processor is also configured to remove a constraint from the IIS resulting in a feasible subset of remaining constraints of the IIS. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a new set of constraints, the new set of constraints including the subset of remaining constraints of the original set of constraints and the feasible subset of remaining constraints of the IIS. The electronic processor is also configured to output a result based on the new set of constraints.

  • Patent number: 11494710
    Abstract: Methods and systems of optimization constraint adaptation for long-term target achievement. One system includes an electronic processor configured to divide a multiple time-step optimization problem into a plurality of successive single time-step optimization problems. The processor is configured to determine a first optimal variable value for a first single time-step optimization problem and determine a first resulting value of a secondary quantity based on the first optimal variable value. The processor is configured to determine a first divergence of the first resulting value from a first target value and determine a cumulative target divergence based on the first divergence. The processor is configured to determine a first target value adjustment for a second time-step based on the cumulative target divergence, adjust a first original target value of the secondary quantity for the second time-step using the first target value adjustment, and output the adjusted first original target value for display.

  • Patent number: 10773453
    Abstract: A pipe joint coating for welded ends of pipes forming a pipeline. A last and third layer of a 3LPP coating system covering at least a circumferential weld area of the pipe joint is a heated sheet applied around the pipe with a machine including a mounting frame and a transport carriage rotatably movable on the mounting frame to move circumferentially about the pipe joint, and a roller applying an adjusted pressure to the sheet against the pipe and adapting to eccentricity or ovality of the pipe. The sheet is pressed below the pipe away from its overlapping ends, a first part of the sheet is then applied when the roller is rolled in a first direction, and a second part of the sheet is applied by the roller rolled back in the reverse direction around the pipe. The sheet is dimensioned to obtain an overlapped area between its extremities.
