Abstract: A method for quickly and remotely GHG emissions without providing the sources of raw material production means to collect parameters is disclosed. The method uses a processing unit for executing instructions related to the determination of emissions, a database to store relevant parameters related to the production of raw materials, means of transmission of data to recover the parameters of the database and transmit these parameters to the processing unit, and a modeling module of GHG emissions connected to the processing unit and adapted to generate a level of GHG emissions. The method comprises considering a partial estimate for emissions in relation to any process and an add value for such global GHG emissions.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling a back-to-back converter when disturbances are produced in the grid which limit the capacity of the converter (105) on the side of the grid to control the voltage of the DC stage (106). In that event, the solution proposed is to pass complete or partial responsibility for controlling the voltage of the DC stage (106) to the converter (104) on the side of the generator (103).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for controlling a wind power installation connected to an electrical power grid, in case of a fault in said grid. In the electrical machines that form part of the wind power installation, generators and transformers, it is possible to change the impedance of the neutral closure introducing a plurality of active and passive elements. This limits the currents during the grid fault, thereby reducing the peak torque in the mechanical train of the wind turbines and allows guaranteeing compliance with the network connection requirements, as control of the active and reactive currents is maintained at all times.

Abstract: Method and system of control of the converter of an electricity generation facility of the type which comprises at least one electric generator, such as a wind generator, connected to an electricity network, in the presence of voltage sags in said network, the electric generator being a double-fed asynchronous generator formed by two windings, a winding in the stator, directly connected to the network, and a winding in the rotor which is fed on normal regime by said converter which imposes on it a predetermined voltage current called setpoint current. In the event of a voltage sag occurring, the converter imposes a new setpoint current which is the result of adding to the previous setpoint current a demagnetizing current which generates a flow in the rotor winding opposed to the free flow, consequently reducing the voltage in converter connectors.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems related to creating an instance of an adaptable business object for a business scenario. A scenario specific action node is received to perform the business scenario. Based upon a scenario specific action node identifier of the received scenario specific action node, an adaptable business object is identified. A dimension version associate with the identified adaptable business object is determined. Based upon a dimension code of the dimension version, metadata of the dimension version is retrieved. Business logic that is operable for creating an instance of the adaptable business object for the dimension version is identified. Based upon the identified business logic, the metadata of the dimension version and the adaptable business object are compiled to create the instance of the adaptable business object for the dimension version.
