摘要： A VAR-based post-evaluation and risk management and control method is disclosed herein. The power transmission engineering cost is broken down sub-item costs, and the stochastic behavior of sub-item costs is simulated by normal distribution, to determine the VaR of sub-item cost at a confidence, then the VaR and ratio of mean of sub-item costs are used as the weights of sub-item cost, to establish the post-evaluation model of sub-item cost, then according to the ratio of sub-item cost among total cost, a contribution degree index is established, and the main sub-item costs are screened according to the sequence of contribution degree index; then based on this, considering the constraint of risk rate interval and aiming at controlling the main sub-item cost within the allowable risk interval, a stochastic linear programming model is established; finally, Monte Carlo method is used to sample and simulate the random factors to solve the stochastic linear programming problem. The method provided herein can effectively perform evaluation on the risk of cost fluctuation, to achieve control over the cost within a risk interval.

摘要： The power flexibility of energy loads is maximized using a value function for each load and outputting optimal control parameters. Loads are aggregated into a virtual load by maximizing a global value function. The solution yields a dispatch function providing: a percentage of energy for each individual load, a time-varying power level for each load, and control parameters and values. An economic term represents the value of the power flexibility to different players. A user interface includes for each time interval upper and lower bounds representing respectively the maximum power that may be reduced to the virtual load and the maximum power that may be consumed. A trader modifies an energy level in a time interval relative to the reference curve for the virtual load. Automatically, energy compensation for other intervals and recalculation of upper and lower boundaries occurs. The energy schedule for the virtual load is distributed to the actual loads.

摘要： Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating generation of carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions. In an embodiment, carbon emissions reduction targets for a defined time period are first received from a sponsor. A campaign is initiated for the sponsor that includes a sponsor promotion and targets selected properties and/or regions. One or more broad market simulations are then run on the targeted properties or regions to estimate an average solar energy production per property. The promotion is adjusted for each targeted property based on the property's estimated energy production compared to the average solar energy production across the targeted properties. Installation of solar energy systems on one or more of the targeted properties is then facilitated through the sponsor's campaign and promotion, and carbon credits may be provided to the sponsor that correspond to energy produced by the installed solar energy systems.

摘要： Techniques for solar panel wattage determination are provided. A computing device can determine a potential wattage output of a candidate solar panel array using insolation data for a corresponding geographic region, and determine potential energy consumption for a property of a utility customer in the corresponding geographic region using usage data from the property. The computing device can adjust a size of the candidate solar panel array to vary the potential wattage output, and apply a different rate plan to the potential energy consumption for each adjustment to the potential wattage output. The computing device can determine that one of the wattage output adjustments yields a cost efficiency metric that is less than a predetermined threshold. In turn, the computing device provides a notification of the candidate solar panel array corresponding to the cost efficiency metric being less than the predetermined threshold as a recommendation to the corresponding utility customer.
