Apparatuses, methods, systems, and techniques for detecting and effecting countermeasures against cyber-attacks on networked electrical power system (NEPS) devices include a trusted cyber-attack detection (TCAD) component including pre-trained cyber-attack detection logic which receives a first input indicating a physical parameter of a NEPS device and a second input indicating a computational state of a computer system of the NEPS device, determines an attack metric in response to the plurality of inputs. The attack metric can indicate whether the NEPS device is in the process of being attacked or whether the NEPS device has been successfully attacked and has been compromised.

Cyber-attack detection for networked electrical power system devices

A method for problem diagnosis in a robot system having one or more robots includes the steps of: a) receiving (S) a first problem message from a robot of the robot system, the first problem message including one or more data elements descriptive of a problem experienced by the robot; b) receiving (S) a subsequent problem message from a robot of the robot system; c) if a time elapsed between receipt of the subsequent problem message and receipt of an immediately preceding problem message is shorter than a predetermined threshold (S), adding the subsequent problem message to a message set which comprises the immediately preceding problem message (S); and d) if the time elapsed is longer than the predetermined threshold (S), terminating (S) the message set of the immediately preceding problem message without adding the subsequent problem message, and establishing (S, S) a new message set.

Technologies for solar power system performance model tuning are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a method of tuning a system performance model for a power plant may comprise estimating an expected output of an inverter of the power plant using the system performance model, obtaining a measured output of the inverter, determining whether a difference between the expected and measured inverter outputs is within a predefined range, and tuning the system performance model using the difference in response to determining that the difference is within the predefined range. The power plant may further comprise at least one solar panel array, and the inverter may be electrically coupled to the at least one solar panel array.

Technologies for solar power system performance model tuning

A method of operating a computer device includes obtaining measurements of one or more conditions of a power grid component associated with the computer device. The computer device forecasts a future state of the one or more conditions of the power grid component associated with the computer device. The computer device communicates with other computer devices associated with other power grid components to negotiate a behavior of the power grid component associated with the computer device using the forecast.

Technologies for optimizing power grids through decentralized forecasting

Systems, devices, and methods for synchronized clock in management. In an embodiment, a system enables users to clock in to a cloud computing platform over a network through remote clock in devices, regardless of whether the remote clock in devices are online or offline. A clock in manager on the platform is configured to communicate with clock in assistants on remote clock in devices and to manage clock in of users in self and group clock in modes. A predetermined threshold may be used to determine a match with respect to a captured image. A clock in manager may intelligently determine the predetermined threshold according to algorithms based on training data. Face scan guides, liveness detection, and fraud detection may be included. A report engine supports presentations of filtered data from a control panel including map displays of devices or clock in events according to geolocation.

Synchronized online/offline clock in management

Technologies for managing safety at an industrial site include a method. The method includes receiving, by a compute device in a cloud data center, condition data indicative of a sensed or determined condition at the industrial site. The condition data was produced at least in part by an edge device at the industrial site. The method also includes analyzing, by the compute device and with a model that associates conditions with corresponding safety statuses, the received condition data to determine a corresponding safety status associated with the industrial site. Further, the method includes determining, by the compute device and as a function of the determined safety status, whether a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site. Additionally, the method includes sending, by the compute device, to the edge device at the industrial site and in response to a determination that a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site, responsive data indicative of the responsive action to be performed.

Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of an alarm management system are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment is a method for monitoring an industrial plant comprising determining a sequence of alarm events for each of a plurality of time intervals including a first alarm event of a plurality of alarm events and a second alarm event of the plurality of alarm events; determining a count of the first alarm events and second alarm events; determining the alarm events exceed a support threshold value; determining a third count of a sub-sequence of the sequences of alarm events including the first alarm event followed by the second alarm event in response to determining the first count and the second count exceeds the support threshold value; determining a ratio using the first count, the second count, and the third count exceeds a display threshold value; and displaying the sub-sequence.

Industrial plant alarm management

A system and method for monitoring operating conditions of an industrial installation system including a plurality industrial assets. A plurality of transponders or beacons is located in a facility or location, where each of the transponders defines a zone in which some of the industrial assets are located. One or more mobile devices is configured to identify assets located within one or more of the zones to provide information to a data acquisition and processing system, which monitors the operating conditions of each of the industrial assets. Each of the one or more mobile devices is authorized depending on a location within the facility, the identity of a user, or based on a time of day. Industrial assets that require support, such as maintenance or replacement, are identified. Authorized mobile devices are configured to transmit information to and to receive information from the data acquisition and processing system.

System and method for managing an industrial equipment system

A system and method for monitoring operating conditions of an industrial installation system including a plurality of pieces of equipment. Each of the pieces of equipment includes a sensor and an electrically identifiable tag configured to identify the equipment. The sensors of each of the plurality of pieces of equipment provide an operating characteristic of the piece of equipment that is provided to an industrial equipment management system. The system is also configured to store the content of the electrically identifiable tag and to store a location identifier of each of plurality of pieces of equipment. Replacement of the identified defective equipment is made with replacement equipment having an identifier that uniquely identifies the replacement device and the location of the replacement device in the industrial installation system.
