  • Publication number: 20210344225
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimal planning and real-time control of energy storage systems for multiple simultaneous applications are provided. Energy storage applications can be analyzed for relevant metrics such as profitability and impact on the functionality of the electric grid, subject to system-wide and energy storage hardware constraints. The optimal amount of storage capacity and the optimal operating strategy can then be derived for each application and be prioritized according to a dispatch stack, which can be statically or dynamically updated according to data forecasts. Embodiments can consist of both planning tools and real-time control algorithms.

  • Patent number: 9833173
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a matching system for correlating accelerometer data to known movements. Data representing known movements can be obtained and stored in a database such as by processing and storing accelerometer data obtained from one or more accelerometers worn by a user while performing a particular movement. The accelerometer data obtained from a particular movement can be processed to generate a feature set descriptive of the accelerations associated with a particular movement or series of movements.
