  • Publication number: 20190288555
    Abstract: A virtual power plant is presented. A virtual power plant couples to one or more virtual power plant units that provide power and/or storage of power to a power grid. In some embodiments, a method of operating a virtual power plant includes receiving a request from a requester; determining whether the request can be performed by a set of units; reporting the result to the requester; and if a subsequent execution request is received from the requester, then executing the request.

  • Publication number: 20170025894
    Abstract: A microgrid controller for controlling one or more edge units in a distributed energy system is presented. In some embodiments, the microgrid controller communicates with one or more network adjacent edge units, each of the one or more network adjacent edge units being coupled to a power grid, determines an instruction set to execute with the one or more network adjacent edge units, provides operating parameters for the one or more network adjacent edge units to execute the instruction set, and monitors the one or more edge units over a network that is not associated with the internet. In situations where the internet fails, microgrid controller determines a set of instructions to execute and provides instructions to the network adjacent edge units.

  • Patent number: 9378335
    Abstract: A method for processing risk factors for a user is disclosed. The method may include receiving protocol data for creating a risk factor engine by an application stored and executed at a computing device. The risk factor engine may be stored in memory and executable by a processor to process a first set of stored user health data for a user. The protocol data may include a rule and one or more health attribute values. The rule and the one or more health attribute values may each include a computer programming expression editable by an administrator. The method may further include determining a user health score through execution of the risk factor engine by the processor and based on the user health data.

  • Patent number: 8560479
    Abstract: Risk factor data can be processed by a risk factor coaching engine to determine health risk for a user. The risk factor coaching engine may be executed within a health coaching protocol to perform actions that provide a user with information, recommendations and alerts via other coaching engines, and appointments with health care professionals. The risk factor coaching engine may also predict attribute values for a user based on a time period and goals for user health data upon which the predicted attribute value is based.
