Abstract:
A system for conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes a web server for receiving bid data for one or more users for basic generation service products, an application server host application software, which processes the one or more bids according to at least one auction rule, tracks the auction, monitors the auction, and/or determines when to end the auction, and a database server, which stores auction data. A method of conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes the repeating steps of receiving bids indicating desired tranche units of basic generation service products, calculating next round prices for each product, and sending round results to bidders. The system for and method of conducting a computer-based auction includes receiving and processing a withdrawal request or a switch request from at least one of the qualified bidders.
Abstract:
The single-action emergency thermal valve comprises a body with a through channel for coolant supply through its inlet in the direction of its outlet, and a fuse link in the through channel of the body; the fuse link consists of at least two parts, each of the two parts completely overlaps the section of the through channel, the parts are made of materials with different melting points, and are located in the through channel in series with the increase of the melting temperature of each successive part in the direction from the through channel inlet to its outlet, wherein the body can have transverse ribs and/or transverse ridges at the location of the fuse link.

When the number of tranches bid for the round of bidding are equal to or less than the certain threshold for each of the products such that no further bidding can take place under the auction rules, the auction ends after the round of bidding and awarding winning bidders an ending price for each of the at least one of the plurality of products won by the winning bidders.
Abstract:
This patent relates to a multi-mode communication method for detecting states of power transmission line, which belongs to electric power communication technology field. In this method, there are sensing devices installed on power transmission line. These sensing devices are used to detect status signals of power transmission line. Status signals are sent to remote monitoring center through communication terminals. Both sensing devices and communication terminals are powered by battery. The main communication network between sensing devices and communication terminals is formed by ZigBee network. Meanwhile, Bluetooth network is a backup communication network between sensing devices and communication terminals. Communication terminals and remote monitoring center are linked through WinMAX. This method can take full advantage of these two short-range wireless communication technologies and break limitations of a single technology, ensure reasonable energy consumption, improve efficiency and quality of data transmission.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a smart power distribution system and a method to progressively dispatch the power using the same. The method is characterized in that it is based on data collection and data analysis to develop a dispatch scheme. The method steps are all automatic and self-adaptive. The method can be executed in an unattended manner to automatically correlate real time data vs. historical data, planning data vs. operation data. Based on a long cycle periodical variation and short-term random variations in load, and taking into account the temporary load power supply and maintenance needs, a multi-stage progressive multiple time scales optimal dispatching method is developed, including the distributed power, micro-grids, energy storage devices, electric vehicles charge-discharge facility and other elements of the Intelligent power distribution systems, to achieve coordinated operation of the network, power, load resources to ensure a continuous safe and reliable smart power distribution system operated at high quality and efficiency.
