Filed:

Jun 17, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/817651

Inventors:

Darrell D. Massie - Fort Montgomery NY, US
Michael A. Miller - Shreveport LA, US
Peter S. Curtiss - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

Intelligent Power and Energy Research Corporation - Fort Montgomery NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/18

US Classification:

706 12

Abstract:

Automated control of a power network is provided by: providing multiple intelligent power controllers (IPCs) associated with multiple components of the power network, each IPC being associated with a different component; obtaining at least one raw data stream representative of at least one operational aspect of at least one component of the multiple components; and automatically associating, by at least one intelligent power controller associated with at least one component, metadata with the at least one raw data stream to produce at least one self-identifying data stream. The associated metadata describes one or more characteristics of the at least one raw data stream, and the at least one self-identifying data stream facilitates automated creation of predictive process models to assist in automated control of the power network by an IPC manager of the power network.

Inventors:

Darrell Massie - Fort Montgomery NY, US
John Hill - West Point NY, US
Peter Curtiss - Boulder CO, US
Michael Miller - Shreveport LA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707200000

Abstract:

A process for integrating and applying quality control on irregular time-series data comprising the steps of: A component that accepts any number of tag points for integration over arbitrary, user-specified intervals, internal statistical algorithms for manipulating the data streams, routines for accepting values from external sources that can be either sequential on-line data streams or historic data files that simulate said data streams, and methods for identifying suspicious or erroneous data values.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345619000

Abstract:

A process for providing a method for describing the sequencing of computer-based process models comprising the steps of: sequencing the models in the correct order, ascribing inputs to models based on outputs of precedent models, and allowing the inclusion of arbitrary control variables that are not derived from model outputs.

International Classification:

H02J 3/00

US Classification:

307 39

Abstract:

A technique is provided for automatically controlling configuration of a power grid, which includes one or more stand-alone sub-grids. Each stand-alone sub-grid includes a power generator, and a load is associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s). The technique includes: monitoring the power grid by monitoring power demand of a load associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s) and the power generated by the power generator within each stand-alone sub-grid; automatically determining that a grid configuration change is required for the power grid based on the monitoring; and dynamically reconfiguring the power grid by automatically modifying a number of stand-alone sub-grids in the power grid without interrupting power to the load associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s) of the power grid. In one implementation, the power grid is a mobile power grid, and the power generator of each stand-alone sub-grid is a portable power generator.
