Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring system for protecting pipelines (10) from damage, in particular due to construction work in the vicinity of the pipeline. For corrosion protection, the pipeline (10) uses a cathode protection system (20) which has a number of ground rods (21) arranged in the ground, each of which is electrically connected to the ground and is electrically coupled to the pipeline (10) linked to the ground. In order to keep the complexity of the pipeline system low with respect to the communications infrastructure, communication between the communication devices (30) takes place via the pipeline (10) itself. The communication devices (30) comprise sensor units (40) and access nodes (32) to a central processing unit (33). Sensor units (40) arranged along the pipeline are used to detect signals and are supplied with energy by the cathode protection system (20). Thus, no separate energy supply is needed. In order to be able to draw all the energy needs from the cathode protection system (20), each of the energy self-sufficient sensor units (40) is equipped with such components that allow communication using low-complex modulation methods. By signal processing of detected ground tremors and by classification, only incidents considered to be critical are transmitted in the form of alarm messages to the access nodes (32).

Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time modeling of a microgrid. In an embodiment, real-time data is acquired from a microgrid. Predicted data for the microgrid is generated using a first virtual system model of the microgrid, which comprises a virtual representation of energy sources within the microgrid. The real-time data and the predicted data are monitored, and a calibration and synchronization operation is initiated to update the first virtual system model in real-time when a difference between the real-time data and the predicted data exceeds a threshold. Parameters of the first virtual system model can be modified to create a second virtual system model, and aspects can be forecasted for the microgrid operating under the modified parameters of the second virtual system model. In a further embodiment, market price information can be received, and optimization solutions can be generated based on the market price information.
