Oct 31, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/290623

Inventors:

Jason Wayne Black - Clifton Park NY, US
Ronald Ray Larson - Palm Bay FL, US
Rajesh Tyagi - Niskayuna NY, US

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Niskayuna NY

International Classification:

G05D 11/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

700291, 700295, 705412

Abstract:

A method of load dispatch generates a load dispatch curve in response to both the opportunity cost of dispatching resources with a contractually limited number of dispatches in a given time period and estimated rebound effect data. The method identifies a best time period for dispatch based on the load dispatch curve and also supply curve data and generates a resultant load dispatch schedule. The resultant load dispatch schedule is transmitted to one or more smart home meters to dispatch loads in a manner that provides the greatest economic benefit.

Appl. No.:

12/570445

Inventors:

Ronald Larson - Palm Bay FL, US
Augusto Sellhorn - Melbourne FL, US

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719329, 719315

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for providing a service-oriented user interface integration bus. According to one embodiment, a system can be provided having a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processor in communication with the memory via a computer interface. The processor can be adapted to execute computer executable instructions and configured to receive a user interface service request from an application module associated with a first platform. The processor can also be adapted to transform the user interface service request from the application module to a user interface service request for a host platform. The processor can also be adapted to match the transformed user interface service request to a platform service to provide a visual interface with the application module to a user on the host platform.

International Classification:

G06F 1/28

US Classification:

700291, 700295

Abstract:

A method and system for controlling load in a utility distribution network are provided that initiates a shed event for a node in the distribution network by selecting premisess associated with the node that are participating in a demand response program to reduce the load at the node to desired levels. More specifically, the system and method provide for selecting only enough participating premisess associated with the node that are necessary to reduce the load to desired levels.

Assignee:

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - SCHENECTADY NY

International Classification:

H02J 4/00

US Classification:

307 31

Abstract:

A phase balancing system includes a load forecasting module, a phase unbalance identification module and a demand response module. The load forecasting module determines a load forecast for the distribution system for the period of interest and the phase unbalance identification module determines voltage unbalance on the distribution system for the period of interest. The demand response module estimates an available demand response on the distribution system for the period of interest and allocates an optimized demand response from the available demand response to minimize the voltage unbalance on the distribution system for the period of interest.

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

A system includes an OPC UA server having a memory configured to provide an address space arranged into a plurality of reference nodes, in which each reference node is associated with data stored in a data source. The system further includes a processor configured to receive an OPC UA client request for the data associated with a particular reference node. The processor is also configured to request and receive from the data source the data associated with the particular reference node. The processor is further configured to reply to the OPC UA client request with the data received from the data source.
