Abstract:
A processing system having at least one processor operatively coupled to at least one memory. The processor receives sensor data from the at least one sensor indicating one or more characteristics of the asset. The processor generates, updates, or maintains a digital representation that models the one or more characteristics of the asset. The processor detects a defect of the asset based at least in part on the one or more characteristics. The processor generate an output signal encoding or conveying instructions to provide a recommendation to an operator, to control the at least one robot to address the defect on the asset, or both, based on the defect and the digital representation of the asset.
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 electrical system for controlling a wind turbine is provided. The electrical system includes a first resistive element, a storage element and a controller. The first resistive element and the storage element are coupled to a DC link of the wind turbine. The controller is used for switching between the first resistive element and the storage element in response to a grid side fault condition to minimize mechanical loads induced by the grid side fault condition.
