Patent number: 11552472Abstract: In a power control system a server maintains asset models that represent asset behaviour, each asset model being in real-time communication with its asset to dynamically inform the model of the status of the asset. A test is performed at the server by issuing a command to an asset requesting the asset to perform a function. Sensors at the asset measure physical parameters at the asset and report these to the server. The server determines whether the asset responded to the command and, if the asset responded, how it responded over time. The server establishes a model for the asset in terms of an energy capacitance and a time constant based on the measured response. An optimizer determines which assets are to participate in which service models. The server sends instructions to the selected assets to attempt to fulfill the services.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: ORIGAMI ENERGY LIMITEDInventors: Sorin Bota, Oliver Burstall, Jerzy Lelusz, Matthew Storkey, William Winter

Patent number: 4372736Abstract: A roller head securable to the discharge end of an extrusion machine, wherein the roller head has a pair of rollers each rotatable between a pair of arms pivotable about an axis transverse to the extrusion machine. Each roller is movable with respect to the other roller and to the axis of the extrusion machine by a pair of pressurizable cylinders arranged between the pivotable arms. The rollers are rotatable, even in their separated state, by an articulated drive system which permits roller rotation during machine output and during roller support arm movement. The rollers are permitted to "float" on a hydraulic suspension system utilizing an accumulator wherein the separation of the rollers is dependent upon the volume of extrudite being forced therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1981Date of Patent: February 8, 1983Assignee: USM CorporationInventors: Kendrick J.
