Abstract: Multiple air handling units feeding into a common air distribution system are used to provide both latent and sensible temperature control. When dehumidification without sensible cooling is required, different air handling units feeding into a common distribution system may be operated in different modes so that both cooling and reheating are occurring simultaneously. The result is an energy efficient means of controlling both ambient air temperature and relative humidity. Air handling units such as water source heat pumps and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) units may be employed.

Abstract: An energy generation system for converting combustible fluid from a nontraditional combustible fluid source to useable energy. The energy generation system including a fluid storage system including a compressor and at least one storage tank, the compressor configured to pressurize a combustible fluid from a combustible fluid source for storage in the one or more storage tanks; and an energy recovery system configured to receive the combustible fluid from the at least one storage tank, the energy recovery system including: a turboexpander configured to depressurize the combustible fluid received from the at least one storage tank; a motor-generator configured to input the combustible fluid as depressurized by the turboexpander, and generate electrical energy from the combustible fluid; and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system configured to generate electrical energy based on a temperature differential between the combustible fluid input to the motor-generator and a waste heat produced by the motor-generator.

Abstract: A method is provided for supplying alternating current (AC) electricity. The method includes receiving direct current (DC) electricity from a source of electric power at a motorized pump, and converting the DC electricity from the source of electric power to AC electricity. This includes converting the DC electricity to first motive power at the motorized pump to move water from a source location to at least one supply location. The water is supplied from the at least one supply location to a turbine, and kinetic energy of the water is converted to second motive power at the turbine. The second motive power is converted to the AC electricity at an electric generator that is connected to the turbine, and the AC electricity is supplied from the electric generator.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for power demand management are described herein. In some embodiments the system uses demand response bidding to reduce or increase the load of a power system. Day ahead or real-time bids may be performed. In other embodiments, a virtual power plant is disclosed that dynamically aggregates multiple power assets to provide demand response services, frequency response services, and fast ramp services to the grid.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling an operator of a load facility to nominate a specific level of load curtailment into an auction or scheduling mechanism of an independent system, transmission, or distribution system operator (ISO). A load operator manages demand requirements for a subsequent day using a user interface, which in one embodiment provides a view of expected demand, curtailment bid, and backfill planning on an hourly basis. Demand curtailment bids are communicated to the power transmission system operator. Accepted bids are displayed on the user interface. In embodiments, the power transmission system operator communicates curtailment instructions to the load facility to manage process scheduling and/or on-site generation capabilities to effectuate demand reduction. The described systems and methods provide enhanced flexibility to load facility operators to maintain needed control, helps ensure the lack of negative impacts on core processes, and encourages participation in demand-side management initiatives.
