Abstract: A verification platform may include a data connection to receive a stream of industrial asset data, including a subset of the industrial asset data, from industrial asset sensors. The verification platform may store the subset of industrial asset data into a data store, the subset of industrial asset data being marked as invalid, and record a hash value associated with a compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata in a secure, distributed ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain technology). The verification platform may then receive a transaction identifier from the secure, distributed ledger and mark the subset of industrial asset data in the data store as being valid after using the transaction identifier to verify that the recorded hash value matches a hash value of an independently created version of the compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata.

Abstract: A system may include an energy reservoir controller associated with a microgrid's energy reservoir adapted to store energy (e.g., a battery to store electrical energy). A computer processor of the energy reservoir controller may receive indications of digital currency tokens from a token creation platform. At least some of the digital currency tokens may be placed into an available energy container based on an amount of energy stored in the energy reservoir. A consumer within the microgrid may submit a transaction request for energy, and it may be arranged for an amount of energy to be transferred from the energy reservoir to the consumer. Based on the amount of energy transferred to the consumer, a number of digital currency tokens may be moved from the available energy container into a used energy container. Information about the transaction request may then be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger.

Abstract: An original transaction data store may provide information about a series of transactions over time. A transaction data collection platform may group some of those transactions into a subset of transactions and apply a hash function to that subset to create a signature representing verifiable state information associated with an enterprise. The transaction data collection platform may then record information about the signature via a secure, distributed transaction meta-ledger without recording the subset of transactions. According to some embodiments, a transaction audit platform may retrieve the signature from the meta-ledger and retrieve original information associated with the subset of transactions (e.g., from an offline original transaction data store). The transaction audit platform may then apply the hash function to the original information to re-create an original signature, compare the retrieved signature with the original signature, and output an indication of a verification result of the comparison.

Abstract: An industrial part modeling system may include a digital twin industrial part modeling platform containing a plurality of learning models, each learning model describing characteristics of an industrial part available to be incorporated into an industrial asset. The system may also include an application server platform and a user interface platform to receive an industrial part search or analysis requests from a user. The application server platform may receive information about the industrial part search or analysis request and execute at least one search or analysis algorithm to evaluate learning models in the digital twin industrial part modeling platform. Based on said evaluation, the application server platform may provide an industrial part search or analysis result report to the user. Moreover, the application server platform may automatically arrange for at least one of a search or analysis algorithm and a learning model to be updated based on interaction with the user.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to facilitate hierarchical data exchange may include an aggregation platform data store containing electronic records. A data aggregation platform may collect, from a plurality of data source devices, information associated with a plurality of data sources and store the collected information into the aggregation platform data store. The data aggregation platform may also receive a data request from a data consumer device, and, responsive to the received data request, determine a precision tier associated with the data request. The data aggregation platform may then automatically calculate a resource value for the data request based on the precision tier. It may then be arranged for information from the aggregation platform data store to be modified and transmitted to the data consumer device.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system to facilitate transaction processing associated with an industrial asset supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. A first entity computer processor may retrieve, from a first entity database, information associated with pre-delivery data about the industrial asset. The first entity computer processor may then record pre-delivery data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. A second entity computer processor may retrieve, from a second entity database, information associated with a post-delivery event involving the industrial asset. The second entity computer processor may then record post-delivery event data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. The post-delivery event data might indicate, for example, that the industrial asset has been delivered, has been installed, is working properly, has been used, etc.

Abstract: Some embodiments may provide a distributed optimization technology for the control of aggregation of distributed flexibility resource nodes (e.g., associated with distributed energy resources) that operates iteratively until a commanded power profile is produced by aggregated loads. Some embodiments use a distributed iterative solution in which each node solves a local optimization problem with local constraints and states, while using global qualities (e.g., associated with a Lagrange multiplier) that are based upon information from each other node. The global qualities may be determined via a secure, distributed transaction ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain) using DER-specific information obtained in a condensed form (e.g., a scalar or vector) from each node at each iteration. The global qualities may be broadcast to the nodes for each new iteration. Embodiments may provide an iterative, distributed solution to the network optimization problem of aggregated load power tracking.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a lossless protection procedure may be applied to control distribution of a print geometry of an industrial asset item. For example, an item definition data store may contain electronic records defining a geometry of the industrial asset item. A signature identifier encoder platform may determine a unique signature identifier associated with the industrial asset item and modify the geometry of the industrial asset item to encode therein information about the unique signature identifier. In some cases, for example, this may be done by adjusting a scanning pattern of a fill region (e.g., stripe, checkerboard, etc.) or a support structure of the industrial asset item. An authentication platform may then receive, from a sensor (e.g., an X-ray), a measured characteristic parameter of an item to be authenticated and determine a signature identifier of the item (which can be used to authenticate the item).
