    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for an access controlled power grid model. A power grid model can include multiple regions. Access can be provided only to a subset of regions based on access privileges, and the user can be denied access to regions of the power grid model outside of the subset. A simulation can be executed using input from the user and can include simulation parameters for at least one of the regions in the subset. The simulation can be executed on the regions of the power grid model in the subset and at least one additional region that is not in the subset. The simulation can produce results that can include electrical values of components in the regions within the subset and values of components in at least one additional region. The output can include only the simulation results for regions within the subset.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are disclosed for electrical power grid visualization. A computer-implemented method includes: obtaining power grid data including different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of a power grid, the characteristics including a first characteristic, a second characteristic, and a third characteristic; and generating a graphical user interface (GUI) representing a visualization of the power grid data. The GUI includes a line-diagram representation of power lines in the power grid overlaid on a map of a geographic region in which the power grid is located, the line-diagram including a plurality of line segments, wherein attributes of each line segment represent the power grid data at a particular spatial location of the power grid. The attributes include a time-changing thickness of the line segment representing the first characteristic; a plurality of time-changing directional arrows on the line segment representing the second characteristic; and a color shading representing the third characteristic.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors includes receiving interconnection data for a proposed interconnection to a power grid; accessing a power grid model including a topological representation of the power grid, electrical specifications of grid components, and empirical operation characteristics; and generating, using the interconnection data for the proposed interconnection to the power grid, and the power grid model, simulated power grid data. The simulated power grid data is based on simulating operation of the power grid with the proposed interconnection coupled to a location of the power grid identified by the interconnection data during a simulated time period. The simulated power grid data includes a plurality of different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of the power grid. The method includes evaluating, using one or more metrics, the simulated power grid data; and outputting evaluation results of the one or more metrics.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for enabling an inverter to temporarily sustain fault current. One implementation is a system that includes an inverter having a plurality of transistors. A reservoir having an outlet channel is configured to contain a compressed gas. The outlet channel is arranged to direct the compressed gas towards a heatsink in thermal communication with one or more of the plurality of transistors. A control valve can be positioned between the reservoir and the outlet channel and a controller can be configured to detect an overcurrent event in the inverter and, in response, open the control valve. A transformer is electrically connected to an output of the inverter and configured to step down voltage from the inverter to a circuit being supplied by the inverter.
