Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for evaluation of events such as the startup of power generation units. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining operational data associated with a power generation unit, the operational data corresponding to a predefined period of time; determining start and end times for a startup phase associated with the power generation unit based upon a set of predefined startup conditions corresponding to the startup phase; and generating a network page including the start and times. In another embodiment, a system includes a unit evaluation system executable in a computing device that includes logic that obtains operational data associated with a power generation unit, the operational data corresponding to a predefined period of time and logic that determines start and end times for an event phase associated with the power generation unit based upon a set of predefined conditions corresponding to the event phase.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for transmission evaluation. In one embodiment, among others, a method includes evaluating a plurality of contingencies to generate a plurality of contingency results, where at least one of the contingency results includes an overload condition. The evaluation is based at least in part upon a case associated with a transmission network. The method further includes sorting the plurality of contingency results based upon corresponding overload-contingency pairs and determining a potential remediation solution to the overload condition based at least in part upon the overload-contingency pair. In another embodiment, a system includes a transmission evaluation application executed in a computing device. The application includes logic that obtains a plurality of contingency evaluation results including an overload condition, determines at least one potential remediation solution to the overload condition, updates the case to include the potential remediation solution, and generates a second plurality of contingency evaluation results.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for validating and filtering events related to an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployment. Events received from a vendor supplied AMI head-end can be validated by an AMI event filtering application, which can then store the validated event in a data store. The AMI event filtering application can also generate and publish destination filtered and/or composite events based at least upon destination filters and/or composite events defined in the data store. Subscribing systems can receive the destination filtered and/or composite events.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer readable medium for controlling user access from a segmented network to shared remote applications stored on a remote server. The method begins by generating a folder/file structure for a remote application that is to be shared on the segmented network. A file server drive mapping to a linking infrastructure data is generated for the remote application and an icon associated with the remote application is retrieved. An application launcher file is generated for the remote application. Then, an application linker file associated with the application launcher file for the remote application is generated. A command file is generated for copying the application linker file to a user's desktop. The linker file is updated to point to the file server drive. A folder for user access to the remote application is then deployed that includes the remote application icon, the application linker file, the application launcher file, and the command file.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer readable medium for facilitating user authentication for accessing an application hosted on an external web site by users in an enterprise network. A request is received from a user a request is received from a user to access the application on the external web site. The user is redirected to a secure web page on an enterprise server to log in to the enterprise server. Authentication information for the user is formatted in compliance with a login specification for the application hosted on the external web site. The authentication information is encrypted in compliance with the login specification for the application hosted on the external web site. The user is then directed to the application hosted on the external web site, wherein the user can access the application without having to reenter login information.
Abstract:
A method, system and program product for quantifying a risk of an expected unserved energy in an energy generation system using a digital simulation. An energy load demand forecast is generated based at least in part on a weather year model. A plurality of energy generation resources are committed to meet the energy load demand. An operating status is determined for each committed energy generation resource in the energy generation system. A determination is made as to whether or not the committed resources are sufficient to meet the energy load demand. A dispatch order for a plurality of additional energy resources is selected if the committed resources are not sufficient to meet the energy load demand. Additional resources are committed based on the selected dispatch order until the energy load demand is met. The expected unserved energy is determined and an equivalent amount of energy load demand is shed based at least in part on an expected duration of unserved energy and a customer class grouping. An associated cost for the expected unserved energy is also determined.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for regulating the flow of a two-phase composition containing a liquid and a vapor, as well as for stable-delivery of the liquid, vapor, and/or two-phase composition to a process/location, which includes a feed conduit, a separation chamber, and a flow control means, where (1) the separation chamber contains an inlet, a liquid outlet, and a vapor outlet; (2) the feed conduit is operatively connected with the inlet; and (3) the flow control means is operatively connected with the liquid outlet or the vapor outlet and regulates the flow of the liquid through the liquid outlet or the flow of the vapor through the vapor outlet. In addition, the system of present invention may further include various feedback control means for regulating the flow of liquid and vapor, and a storage means operatively connected with the feed conduit, where the storage means may contain a heating means for regulating the internal pressure of the storage means and/or the temperature/pressure of the two-phase composition or the liquid. Also provided are methods of using the system.
