    Abstract: Technologies for provisioning power controllers for grid services are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a method for estimating real-time available peak power (APP) of a power plant may comprise determining whether an inverter of the power plant electrically coupled to at least one solar panel array of the power plant is operating in a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode, obtaining a measured output of the at least one solar panel array in response to determining that the inverter is operating in the MPPT mode, estimating an expected output of the inverter as a function of the measured output of the solar panel array using an inverter production model, and estimating the APP of the power plant as a function of the expected output of the inverter using a site compensation model.

    Abstract: A highly accurate fault location method for series-compensated double-circuit transmission lines having series compensation devices and metal oxide varistors (SC&MOV) at first and second terminal ends is provided. Synchronized or unsynchronized current phasors and local voltage phasors are used as input to the fault location method. The voltages and currents at the fault point are formulated as a function of the unknown fault location. Boundary conditions for the particular IED-determined fault type are used to derive the fault location formulas.

    Abstract: Technologies for managing safety at an industrial site include a method. The method includes receiving, by a compute device in a cloud data center, condition data indicative of a sensed or determined condition at the industrial site. The condition data was produced at least in part by an edge device at the industrial site. The method also includes analyzing, by the compute device and with a model that associates conditions with corresponding safety statuses, the received condition data to determine a corresponding safety status associated with the industrial site. Further, the method includes determining, by the compute device and as a function of the determined safety status, whether a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site. Additionally, the method includes sending, by the compute device, to the edge device at the industrial site and in response to a determination that a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site, responsive data indicative of the responsive action to be performed.
