  • Patent number: 12160105
    Abstract: A system for determining power flows in a power plant comprising an energy storage system (ESS) and a power generation system includes at least one memory storing a power plant model of the power plant and at least one processor. The power plant model includes an ESS model including a battery model, a power generation system model, a power price schedule for first and second loads configured to receive power from the power plant, and system relationships between the models. The at least one processor is configured to receive a power demand schedule representing expected power demands from the first load and the second load and determine, based on the power demand schedule, the power price schedule, and the system relationships, a power flow rate forecast for at least one point in the power plant.

  • Patent number: 11949233
    Abstract: A system for determining power flows in a power plant including an energy storage system (ESS) including an energy storage device and a power generation system comprising a power source includes at least one memory storing a power plant model. The power plant model includes an ESS model including an energy storage device model, a power generation system model, a load model of a load configured to receive power from the power plant, and system relationships between the ESS model, the power generation system model, and the load model. The system further includes at least one processor configured to receive input parameters for the load, determine a power flow rate at a point in the power plant or an energy storage level of the energy storage device at a first time step, and generate a record comprising an indication of the power flow rate or energy storage level.

  • Publication number: 20070103828
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting a protection device operation. The disclosed systems and methods may include detecting a voltage across a protection device. The voltage may be produced when the protection device operates from a closed state to an opened state. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include latching, in response to the detected voltage, the indication that the protection device operated from the closed state to the opened state. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include transmitting, in response to the detected voltage, an indication that the protection device operated from a closed state to an opened state.
