Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for managing electrical power distribution using artificial intelligence models deployed on edge computing devices positioned within power distribution environments. These edge devices may analyze measurement data from various sources throughout the electrical network and generate predictive forecasts to inform power management decisions. The edge computing device may coordinate with distributed generation systems to optimize electrical power management through localized control actions.  The artificial intelligence model may process electrical consumption and generation data to generate forecasts of electrical demand and supply conditions.

Abstract: A vacuum-assisted panel lifter includes a lifter attachment jib having a proximal end for mounting the vacuum-assisted panel lifter to an arm of a work vehicle and having a distal end that includes a rotator. The lifter includes a lifter frame rotationally mounted to the rotator and a plurality of modular vacuum-assisted lift pad assemblies. Each of the plurality of modular vacuum-assisted lift pad assemblies comprises a suction cup and a double-acting pneumatic actuator to displace the suction cup into engagement with a panel to be lifted. The double-acting pneumatic actuator furthermore creates a vacuum inside the suction cup when the suction cup engages the panel.
