Abstract: A computer-implemented method for solar energy disaggregation at a node of a distribution system includes obtaining first data including samples of averaged net power measured by a meter installed at the node and second data including samples of solar irradiation local to the node averaged over intervals temporally correlated with the first data. A physics-based model of the node is trained using the first and second data, to optimize a set of model parameters. The physics-based model is defined such that an average net power includes a composite of an average solar generation and an average power consumption at the node and the average solar generation is modeled as a function of an average solar irradiation. An aggregate solar generation at the node is estimated/predicted from actual irradiation data/irradiation forecast data local to the node using a model parameter optimized by the training.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing inking events from remote inking devices during online meetings. For example, a remote inking device comprising a physical orientation sensor can be used during an online meeting to perform inking actions while shared screen content is being presented during the online meeting. To control the inking action, a stream of coordinate update events can be received from the remote inking device. The stream of coordinate update events represents physical movement of the remote inking device as indicated by the physical orientation sensor. The coordinate update events can be relayed to participant devices of the online meeting. The participant devices can then perform the inking action on local displays.
