The patent filed by Itron Inc. describes techniques for evaluating electricity distribution infrastructures using solar power generation estimates. The method involves determining the positions of individual solar panels in a geographical region, predicting solar power generation levels based on these positions and meteorological data, estimating solar power generation for the region, and recommending infrastructure modifications based on this estimate and properties of the electricity distribution infrastructure. The modifications could include adding energy storage modules or high voltage power lines to the infrastructure to address distribution impediments and optimize solar power distribution.
The patent also covers the use of computer-readable media storing program instructions to determine solar power generation amounts, generate recommendations for infrastructure improvements, and address distribution impediments within a geographic area. Recommendations may involve installing energy storage systems or high voltage power lines based on solar power generation estimates and infrastructure data. Additionally, a computing system is described that determines solar panel positions, estimates solar power generation, and recommends improvements to the electricity distribution system based on the solar power estimate and infrastructure properties. These improvements aim to optimize the distribution of excess solar power within the geographic region by addressing specific aspects of the electricity distribution system.
