Abstract
A method and a system for mitigating transmission congestion are provided. The computer-implemented method uses distributed computing technology to convert electricity to useful work when determined beneficial to the electricity grid or grid assets. The method also includes an arrangement and prioritization of nodes to perform such work, whether located remotely or within a designated facility.
Claims20
A method for power grid balancing, comprising the steps of:
- analyzing the data of a power system with at least one node to determine whether a power grid problem exists;
- and
- coordinating the control of at least one distributed computing resource associated with the at least one node, to mitigate the grid problem.
A power grid comprising:
- a plurality of distributed computing resources at a number of power grid node locations in the power grid, each having;
- a controller for control of the distributed computing resource and for communication with the other distributed computing resources within a local group of distributed computing resources to enable coordinated response of the other distributed computing resources within the respective local group of distributed computing resources;
- a processor that receives a control signal from the controller and reacts by performing a computational procedure;
- and
- a transceiver for communication with the controller to receive commands to start and stop the processor, to communicate the outcome of the computational process and to receive instructions and associated data for new computational processes.

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for a method for power grid balancing, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, over a network, a plurality of power system data over time of at least two power system nodes;
- determining, using at least one computing device, the locational marginal price of the at least two power system nodes;
- determining, using at least one computing device, whether a more suitable combination of locational marginal prices can be achieved;
- calculating grid parameter changes required to fix the grid abnormality;
- coordinating the control of at least one distributed computing resource associated with the power system node;
- and
- transmitting an activation signal to the distributed computing resource.
