A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230384743A1) describes a system designed to manage electrical systems efficiently. The system includes processors connected to memory that can determine the projected state of an electrical system based on feedback variables, assess the relation between the projected state and long-term parameters, and adjust these parameters to align with long-term objectives. This adjustment aims to steer the electrical system towards compliance with the long-term goal. Additionally, the system can provide these adjusted parameters to a controller via a communication interface, enabling effective configuration of the controller for optimal system performance.

Furthermore, the patent outlines a method that mirrors the system's functionality, emphasizing the importance of determining the projected state of the electrical system, establishing the relation with long-term parameters, and adjusting these parameters to drive the system towards meeting long-term objectives. The method also includes transmitting adjusted parameters to the controller, ensuring seamless integration for efficient system control. By simulating multiple values for parameters and projected loads, the system can identify the optimal values that bring the electrical system closest to fulfilling the long-term objective. Overall, this patent introduces a comprehensive approach to managing electrical systems, focusing on long-term sustainability and performance optimization through strategic parameter adjustments and controller configurations.
