Patent number: 10734838Abstract: A process/method is provided, which facilitates achieving and obtaining realistic, accurate voltage observability of end customer service delivery points within the secondary distribution level using the alarming capability of intelligent data gathering and communication technology devices such as, but not necessarily limited to SCADA systems, distribution system RTU or SCADA, smart meters, smart gateways, and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters, or any device known in the art capable of sending alarm signals when voltage is detected above or below a predetermined threshold (generally herein defined as “Advanced Meters”). Such system and methods can be applied for many uses comprised of monitoring the energy grid, energy demand management and other energy industry applications, while minimizing operating and infrastructure/hardware costs.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Open Access Technology International, Inc.Inventors: Ilya Roytelman, Jose Medina Palomo, Ali Ipakchi, Sasan Mokhtari, Farrokh Albuyeh, Farrokh Rahimi

Patent number: 10635056Abstract: A system and process/method of modeling demand-response (DR) and distributed-energy resource (DER) assets is provided, facilitating the aggregation of said assets in virtual power plants (VPPs), and using VPPs to provide energy balancing services needed to minimize the impact of Variable Energy Resources (VER) on power system. The method accurately accounts for assets by qualifying assets based on various parameters and by forecasting the capabilities of the resulting VPPs for provision of balancing services. Asset performance factors that may affect the aggregated VPP's capabilities are monitored and recalculated when necessary. Near-term forecasted VPP capability is compared to near-term forecasted imbalances in the electric-power-supply system, and the VPP is dispatched to minimize the system imbalances. The dispatch signal is disaggregated to control commands to individual assets.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Open Access Technology International, Inc.Inventors: Guillermo Irisarri, Sasan Mokhtari, Ali Ipakchi, Abdolhossein Rahimi, Jose Medina Palomo, Farrokh Albuyeh, Benham Danai

Patent number: 10223224Abstract: According to one embodiment, a test result of a first disk that was removed from a storage system and tested at a remote testing facility is received. A data analysis is performed on operational statistics data associated with the first disk based on one or more predetermined data patterns, where the operational statistics data was periodically collected from the storage system during operations of the storage system. A failure category of the first disk is determined based on the data analysis by comparing the operational statistics data against the predetermined data patterns. At least one of the data patterns is adjusted for subsequent determination of failure categories in view of an analysis result of the analysis, the failure category, and the testing result received from the testing facility.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Charles Hickey, Alice Cuicui Zhao, Jose Medina
