摘要： A collaborative authoring system and method is disclosed. A collaboration server stores objects and applications open the objects stored on the collaboration server as documents. Collaborative authoring is enabled through a combination of coarse-grained server locks on objects stored in a collaboration server for short term server transactions and fine-grained application specific internal locks to lock portions of documents for authoring sessions. When an application begins an authoring session, an object stored in the collaboration server is opened as a document in an application, a server lock is applied to the object, internal locks are applied to portions of the document, and the server lock is removed from the object.

摘要： A method and system for communicating and controlling remotely devices in an automated facility exchanges electronic messages (“E-mails”) between a server that controls the devices and an operator having a client device that has E-mail capabilities. An automation controller overseeing devices and stations within the facility is configured to send and receive over a network, such as the Internet, E-mail messages containing instructions and information. Accordingly, an operator may be alerted to alarm information, fault codes, and other operational parameters via E-mail, and after correcting the fault code or other problem, the operator may send an E-mail message to the automation controller that the situation has been corrected. The operator may also send and receive other information to and from the devices within the facility. Thus, not only human-to-machine and machine-to-human E-mail communication is facilitated, but also machine-to-machine communications via E-mail.

摘要： A collaborative authoring system and method is disclosed. An integration platform having a backbone layer and an integration layer is used to enable collaborative authoring of data between multiple authoring applications. When a request for a data object is received at the integration platform from an authoring application, it is determined whether the data object is stored in the integration layer. If the data object is not stored in the integration layer, a data cluster including the data object is loaded to the integration layer from the backbone layer, and the data cluster is locked in the backbone layer. The data object is loaded from the integration layer to the authoring application, and the data object is locked in the integration layer. Once the data object is modified, the modified data object is received at the integration layer, and the data object is unlocked in the integration layer. The modified data object is propagated to the backbone layer, and if there are no remaining locks on data objects of the cluster, the cluster is unlocked in the backbone layer.

摘要： A system and method are provided for the collaborative charging of electric vehicles. The collaborative charging manages the disbursement of power from a neighborhood transformer so as to increase the efficiency of electric vehicle charging at the residences without significantly altering the existing power distribution and residential infrastructures. Time-flexible loads are shed in order to efficiently allocate energy distribution without compromising the comfort or security of the user. The identities of individual residential power demands can be concealed to protect the user's privacy or made available to further optimize power allocation. The power allocation negotiation may be performed in a residential local demand management client separate from the residential charging station.

摘要： A method for managing power consumption within a facility includes receiving a request to reduce a total level of power consumption within the facility by a predetermined measure (S23). A plurality of operating parameters indicative of how much power is being consumed by each of a plurality of facility systems is received (S21). A corresponding cost associated with a marginal power reduction is determined for each of the plurality of facility systems using the received plurality of operating parameters (S24). A power allocation to the facility system of the plurality of facility systems that is determined to have a lowest marginal cost of power reduction is incrementally reduced (S25). The steps of determining a corresponding cost and incrementally reducing power are repeated until the total level of power consumption within the facility has been reduced by the predetermined measure.

摘要： Systems and methods are described that provide a Heat Flow Model (HFM) graph modeling methodology. Embodiments automatically translate formal HVAC system descriptions from a Building Information Model (BIM) into HFM graphs, and compile the graphs into executable FDD systems. During an engineering phase, a user interface is used to enter parameters, conditions, and switches not found in the BIM. During a runtime phase, real-time data from an HVAC control system is input to the generated FDD system (HFM graph) for fault detection and diagnosis.

Preferably, the engineering tool runs in a browser application (or other network-interfacing-application) on the client device and a user generates the programming code on the server with the aid of the client device. By centralizing the engineering tool, which may contain a configuration editor and a configuration management tool having version management functionality, a new business paradigm for providing engineering tool services to customers having programmable controllers. In addition, new methods and tools for collaborative engineering of programming code are enabled.
