  • Patent number: 10909647
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for updating estimates of damage caused by a disaster based on newly acquired damage data. One method includes operations for generating block damage estimates in a geographical region after an event (e.g., a natural disaster such as an earthquake or a tornado), accessing input damage data for one or more buildings within a first block, and adjusting the block damage estimate of the first block based on the input damage data. One or more related blocks within a threshold distance from the first block are identified, and for each related block, a respective propagation coefficient is determined based on a comparison of features of the first block with features of each related block. The block damage estimate for the one or more related blocks is recalculated based on the respective propagation coefficient.

  • Patent number: 10900130
    Abstract: A fuel preparation reaction system includes: an electrolytic hydrogen production equipment connected to a power supply device of a power generation plant and configured to produce hydrogen through electrolysis with surplus power from peak regulation of the power generation plant as a power supply; a fuel preparation reaction equipment configured to produce fuel with hydrogen and carbon dioxide; an input end of the fuel preparation reaction equipment is connected to a hydrogen output pipe of an electrolytic hydrogen production device, while another input end is connected to a supply source of carbon dioxide, a fuel output port being connected to a fuel collection device or a fuel utilization device. The system can directly consume peak-regulation power from a power plant, thereby improving power grid balance and differences between peaks and valleys, while achieving phase-changed storage of electric energy and effective usage of energy.
