  • Publication number: 20260088627
    Abstract: Predictive energy management comprising systems and methods to collect information about the configuration of energy resources and historical data about energy utilization as to make recommendations on how to optimize those energy resources are disclosed. Intelligent distributed energy resources (IDERs) which are devices that are energy producers or consumers that are automatable with application programming interfaces are aggregated together. An intelligent energy profile, which comprises a summary of energy resources and historical data about utilization is generated. A predictive algorithm is applied to the intelligent energy profile thereby generating a predicted future state, and a recommendation on how to optimize against that predicted future state is generated. In some embodiments generative artificial intelligence techniques are utilized, and in some embodiments the recommendations are automatically performed via the generation of computer script embodying the recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20260089060
    Abstract: An energy accounting system for integration of one or more data centers may include a virtualization platform configured to interface with a plurality of server components. The plurality of the server components may be itemized into Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDERs). The energy accounting system may further include an Energy Orchestration Module (EOM) communicatively coupled with the virtualization platform. The EOM may be configured to aggregate the IDERs into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and may fetch telemetry data associated with the individual ones of the plurality of the server components.

  • Publication number: 20260088631
    Abstract: Predictive energy management across a plurality of microgrids situated at disparate facilities is disclosed. Each microgrid may include one or more distributed energy resources (DERs). Reception of profile data from these microgrids and the creation of aggregated profiles is enabled, which may incorporate the profile data, charts of accounts, energy transfer tariffs, and other energy-related attributes. An event detection engine may identify triggering events such as energy surpluses, deficits, or operational conditions, indicating a benefit to energy reallocation. A recommendation engine may generate energy allocation recommendations based on predictive models, optimizing factors like cost efficiency, carbon offset utilization, and energy availability. The recommendations may be executed through an aggregation server, which dynamically updates the aggregated profiles in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20260087201
    Abstract: Global Energy Management comprising systems and methods to collect information about the configuration of energy resources and historicals about energy utilization as to make recommendations on how to optimize those energy resources are disclosed. Global Energy Management provides of adaptation regardless of location and whether or not data fields from the collecting information and historicals agree. Specifically, Global Energy Management makes use of ontology techniques to find corresponding data fields and makes use of software based estimation techniques such as interpolation, extrapolation, and statistical analysis to fill in missing data. Global Energy Management then creates energy profiles comprising data sets for different collections of energy resources, makes predictions and recommendations for the aggregated energy resources from the different collections, and in some cases automates the recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20260087506
    Abstract: The present invention relates to managing and certifying energy transactions in an energy accounting system. The present invention provides a framework for receiving energies, organizing, and accounting energy-related transactions of the received energies through a general ledger and a chart of accounts. The present invention further enables tracking of the received energies through cryptographic certificates that are further convertible into exchangeable cryptographic artifacts for trading the energies. The present invention provides an ontology engine that normalizes energy-associated terminology to enable compliance with standardized terminology. A reporting manager generates detailed reports, for example, reports for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) compliance, carbon net-zero assessments, and other sustainability metrics.

  • Publication number: 20200106787
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques to detect and remediate cybersecurity threats within an enterprise network. More specifically, a Data Management Operating System (DMOS) analysis server is described that is configured to detect and remediate interactions initiated by enterprise devices with data items stored within an enterprise network. The DMOS analysis server may be configured to capture, via a security client that resides on the enterprise device, datum metadata associated with a data operation initiated by the enterprise device, analyze the datum metadata to determine whether the data operation is associated with a cybersecurity threat, and in doing so facilitate an execution of the data operation. In some examples, the DMOS analysis server may generate a response protocol for delivery to a global key server to facilitate execution of the data operation or restrict access to the data item by the enterprise device.
