Title: Inertia characteristic
Inventor: MIKA VENTOLA
IPC: H02J3/00
Filed: 2016-12-07
Abstract: Determination of an inertia characteristic of a synchronous area of an electric power grid is disclosed. A first set of data is determined, which represents the grid frequency variation signal over a period of time. The grid frequency variation results from the variation in power balance of supply and demand in the grid. A second set of data representing the power balance signal is determined. Bandpass filtering is applied to each signal so that they are attenuated outside a frequency band, the frequency band of each signal being substantially the same. An inertia characteristic of the synchronous area of the electric power grid is determined from the first data and second data. The inertia characteristic represents the stored kinetic energy in the grid, particularly in the spinning generators of large capacity power stations. It may vary according to local area depending on the proximity to a large capacity power station. The inertia characteristic may be used by grid operators to mitigate the effects of sudden changes in power consumption or generation.

Title: Apparatus and method for vehicle parking
Inventor: RICCARDO FICCA
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-05-23
Abstract: A vehicle parking assistance system which receives vehicle data 110, such as position and spacing from neighbouring objects, from one or more already parked autonomous vehicles within a first range of a subject vehicle.
