Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors of one or more computing systems; and
one or more memories with stored instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more computing systems to implement an automated control system for a physical system whose operations include providing electrical power, including:
obtaining a model of the physical system describing operational characteristics of the physical system and including state information from sensors for the physical system and including additional information about multiple control actions available to affect the providing of the electrical power and including an indicated goal to maximize for the operations; and
controlling, using the model, the operations of the physical system for an indicated time period, including:
receiving information that includes projected electrical power production available from the physical system for the indicated time period and includes projected electrical power load for the indicated time period;
generating multiple particles that each represents a different set of state information for the physical system;
propagating, for each of a plurality of iterations during a time window that lasts for at least some of the indicated time period, the respective state information for each of the multiple particles to attempt to determine projected future state information for the particle that reflects an improved ability of the physical system to satisfy the projected electrical power load using the projected electrical power production in light of the indicated goal, including combining information for the multiple particles for use in a next iteration;
determining, one or more of the multiple particles whose projected future state information provides a solution for the physical system to satisfy the projected electrical power load using the projected electrical power production in light of the indicated goal; and
providing information about the solution for the determined one or more particles, to enable at least one control action in the physical system that is based on that solution to cause the physical system to satisfy the projected electrical power load for the indicated time period.
