Publication number: 20200183435Abstract: A method and system of optimizing microgrid operations is provided. One or more intelligent microgrid coordinators interface with the microgrid such that those microgrid coordinators are able to measure and control all microgrid asset activities. The microgrid coordinator is used to forecast the microgrid's demanded load more accurately, and assign asset commands so as to optimize microgrid consumption, generation, and storage of load. The method and system incorporate a valuation of dispatchable load in optimization functions. The microgrid coordinator is further used to protect the microgrid assets from over-current situations when the microgrid is connected to the bulk electric system and when islanded. The method and system provide a means to test the microgrid controller prior to implementation on the microgrid in order to assure proper operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: Open Access Technology International, Inc.Inventors: Sasan Mokhtari, Khashayar Nodehi Fard Haghighi, Erik Amundson, David D.

Patent number: 10243363Abstract: Systems and methods are provided, which provide for the de-centralization of the logic necessary to perform electrical optimization of any contained electrical system. The systems and methods de-centralize, or distribute, electrical optimization logic into intelligent devices which are locally connected to both the generation and loads, in such a way that control can be asserted over these resources. The inventive systems and methods require less infrastructure and communication backbone to IT/Data Center infrastructure than are typically required by previous systems and methods known in the art.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Open Access Technology International, Inc.Inventors: Sasan Mokhtari, Khashayar Nodehi Fard Haghighi, Erik Alan Amundson, David Heim, Dean Eriksson, Anthony Charles Sorvari

Publication number: 20180114283Abstract: A process/method is provided, which facilitates resource optimization considering all dispatchable resources as well as user rate charges, which are rate charges comprised of a base rate plus an incremental excess fee associated with designated usage parameters. The proposed system and method may utilize inputs to construct a periodic load profile over varied periods of time. The disclosure relates to forming a periodic load profile over varied periods of time based upon considerations of short-term and long-term cost for uses within microgrids to create microgrid resource schedules that optimize usage of loads and generation resources within a microgrid for minimizing both short-term energy charges and long-term demand charges while increasing microgrid resource efficiencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Applicant: Open Access Technology International, Inc.Inventors: Sasan Mokhtari, Ebrahim Vaahedi, Khashayar Nodehi Fard Haghighi, Girish Thirukkurungudi Sekar, Guillermo Irisarri, David Heim, Long Duong, Ali Ipakchi

Patent number: 9386008Abstract: A process/method is provided, which authenticates electronic devices allowing the installation and utilization of encryption enabling software capable of facilitating a public key infrastructure in combination with electronic devices without need for such encryption enabling software capable of facilitating a public key infrastructure to be installed at the same time as manufacture of the electronic device. The disclosed process/method may then provide a system for monitoring various metrics and statuses of the electronic devices through the manufacturing chain, distribution chain and product lifecycle. The process/method can be utilized to create electronic devices secured with encryption enabling software capable of facilitating a public key infrastructure, free from the security risks inherent with the current method of installing encryption enabling software onto electronic devices, which will render such secured electronic devices suitable for tasks requiring such enhanced security or encryption.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: SmartGuard, LLCInventors: Khashayar Nodehi Fard Haghighi, Sasan Mokhtari, Erik Amundson, Naveen Ranganath, Anthony Sorvari, David Heim
