  • Patent number: 11949231
    Abstract: A system for optimizing a network of power plants includes at least one memory storing a network model of a network of power plants including a power plant model for each power plant, each power plant model including one or more equipment models of power plant equipment of a power plant, and plant relationships between the power plant models. The system further includes at least one processor configured to modify an attribute of a first equipment model included in a first power plant model of a first power plant, identify at least one plant relationship between the first power plant model and a second power plant model of a second power plant, determine an expected change in operation of the second power plant based on the modified attribute and the at least one plant relationship, and generate a record including an indication of the expected change.

  • Patent number: 11669104
    Abstract: A method for autonomously maneuvering a vehicle in a rearward direction towards a point of interest is provided. The method includes receiving one or more images from a camera positioned on a back portion of the vehicle. The method includes overlaying a path on the one or more images. In addition, the method includes receiving a command by way of a user interface. The command includes instructions to adjust the path. The method includes adjusting the path based on the received command. The method also includes transmitting a drive command to a drive system supported by the vehicle. The drive command causes the vehicle to autonomously maneuver along the adjusted path in a rearward direction.
