  • Patent number: 11387657
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling power ramps with prediction in intermittent power generation plants, such as, for example, a photovoltaic solar plant, which minimizes the storage capacity required for compliance with the maximum ramp requirements for power fluctuation as well as the cycling of said storage systems, thus extending its lifespan and also reducing associated energy losses, thus reducing investment costs in the plant, such that, in order to achieve the same maximum fluctuation ramp, a minor use is made of the energy storage system.

  • Patent number: 11283780
    Abstract: Collaboratively editing a document in a system of sharee clients includes creating a document change, generating a document token for encrypting the document change, encrypting the document change with the document token, making the encrypted document change available to the other sharee clients, and generating a plurality of copies of the sharee document token. Each sharee document token is encrypted with a respective sharee's public key. Each encrypted sharee document token is distributed to respective sharee clients. Each sharee client is configured to: decrypt a sharee document token using a respective private key, decrypt the encrypted document change using the share document token, and consolidate the document change into a document.

  • Patent number: 10509386
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for the control of power ramp-rates minimizing energy storage requirements in intermittent power generation plants, such as for example a photovoltaic solar plant, which minimizes the energy storage requirements approximately halving the size of storage systems necessary to comply with a maximum allowable ramp-rate given by a grid code regulation regarding the state of the art, reducing thus investment costs in the plant and/or carrying out a rationalized use of the energy storage system, in such a way that in order to achieve the same maximum fluctuation ramp, a minor use is done of the energy storage system, minimizing the losses and extending its working life, and therefore reducing the plant operational costs.

  • Patent number: 10291031
    Abstract: The invention falls within the technical field associated with methods for controlling power fluctuation ramps using energy storage systems in plants for intermittent energy generation, wherein said method reduces the size of the energy storage system necessary to fulfill the requirement of a maximum power fluctuation ramp, by means of a step of imposing a maximum power variation ramp by imposing the dynamic component of the ramp, defined as the gradient according to which the power of the plant is varied in each control cycle in accordance with the state of charge of the energy storage system (SOC).

  • Patent number: 9771652
    Abstract: A method for passivating a metal surface including, generating an atmospheric plasma beam by electrical discharge in a working gas, introducing an acid-containing passivating agent into the plasma beam, applying the plasma beam containing the passivating agent to the metal surface, and depositing a passivating salt on the metal surface by a reaction between the acid-containing passivating agent and the metal surface. This method simplifies the process for passivating a metal surface and renders it more effective.

  • Patent number: 8930035
    Abstract: A process for simultaneously providing capacity sale services (e.g. frequency regulation or voltage regulation), energy sale services (energy transfer from off-peak hours to peak hours), and stabilization services of a renewable plant may be provided. The process includes determining the values of energy quantity to be produced by the plant during a near future time interval. The process may also include introducing the values of energy quantity, in the control unit. Generating an hourly program of energy supply to be provided by the energy accumulator unit to the network may also be performed, depending on the values of energy to be produced, which stabilizes the power supplied by the plant to the network. Furthermore, the frequency and the voltage of the network may be regulated as well as transfers the energy between off-peak hours and peak hours, or from hours with saturation of the network to hours without saturation.
