  • Patent number: 12650244
    Abstract: A heating system (100), a controller (110) for a heating system and a method of controlling a heating system (100) suitable for responding to grid stress events are disclosed. A heating system (100) comprises a tank (104) for holding water; a heat pump (102) arranged to provide heat to the tank (104); an electric heating element (108) disposed in the tank for heating water; and, a controller (110) configured to: control electric power from an electric power grid to the heat pump (102) and the electric heating element (108); detect a grid stress event; determine a heat pump energy penalty for providing heat in response to the grid stress event under a present operating condition; and, vary, in dependence on the determined heat pump energy penalty, a power provided to the electric heating element (108).

  • Patent number: 12153176
    Abstract: A method includes receiving seismic data related to a subterranean formation. The method also includes receiving a selection of a property of the subterranean formation that is permitted to vary during a simulation of a model of the subterranean formation. The method also includes simulating fluid flow in the model of the subterranean formation based at least partially on the seismic data, and the selected property. The method also includes generating an updated model based at least partially upon a result of simulating the fluid flow in the model.

  • Publication number: 20220080399
    Abstract: JMZ-1, a zeolite having a CHA structure and containing trimethyl(cyclohexylmethyl)ammonium cations as a structure directing agent is described. A calcined zeolite, JMZ-1C, that does not contain a structure directing agent, is also described. Metal containing JMZ-1C has improved SCR activity compared to CHA-containing zeolites having the same metal loading and comparable silica:alumina ratios (SAR). Methods of preparing JMZ-1, JMZ-1C and metal containing calcined counterparts of JMZ-1C are described along with methods of using JMZ-1C and metal containing calcined counterparts of JMZ-1C in treating exhaust gases.
