Patent ID: 8126685

Claim:
A system for real-time optimization of power resources on an electrical system, comprising: a data acquisition component communicatively connected to a sensor configured to acquire real-time data output from the electrical system; an analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition component, comprising a virtual system modeling engine configured to generate predicted data output for the electrical system utilizing a virtual system model of the electrical system, an analytics engine configured to monitor the real-time data output and the predicted data output of the electrical system in real-time, the analytics engine further configured to initiate a calibration and synchronization operation to update the virtual system model in real-time when a difference between the real-time data output and the predicted data output exceeds a threshold, wherein the calibration and synchronization operation comprises adjusting operational parameters of the virtual system model that replicate operation of the sensor based on real-time output acquired from the sensor, and a power flow optimization engine configured to utilize the virtual system model to generate system control parameters that optimize power resources on the electrical system; a control element interfaced with an electrical system component and communicatively connected to the analytics server, the control element configured to receive the system control parameters and effectuate changes to operational settings of the electrical system component; and a client terminal communicatively connected to the analytics server, the client terminal configured to communicate the system control parameters and to change a configuration setting of the power flow optimization engine.
