A system may include an aircraft including a processor. The processor may be configured to: receive a lead aircraft assignment instruction, the lead aircraft assignment instruction instructing the aircraft to follow a lead aircraft; determine whether the aircraft is receiving sufficient lead aircraft traffic data from the lead aircraft to record a four-dimensional (4D) track of the lead aircraft; upon a determination that the aircraft is receiving the sufficient lead aircraft traffic data, output an acceptance of the lead aircraft assignment instruction; receive the lead aircraft traffic data from the lead aircraft, the lead aircraft traffic data including information at least one of associated with or of the track of the lead aircraft; record the track of the lead aircraft; and output commands configured to cause (a) the aircraft to follow the recorded track, or (b) guidance content for following the recorded track of the lead aircraft to be presented.

System and method for flying aircraft relative to lead aircraft

A method for controlling power consumption includes receiving a flexibility request from an electrical utility and discovering energy relevant devices in a building. The energy relevant devices include electrical loads and alternative energy sources. Power requirements are predicted from an electrical utility for the loads, the prediction takes into account available power from the alternative power sources. Power set points are determined for the energy relevant devices based on the prediction. The power set points meet the flexibility request. The energy relevant devices are directed to operate at the power set points. A building energy management system is also disclosed.

Method for supervisory control of building power consumption

Provided are techniques for predictively generating demand response (DR) events based on grid operations and faults, based on optimization and self-learning routines. The techniques include obtaining grid status information, and determining a fault condition based at least in part on the grid status information. The techniques also include generating a DR event based at least in part on the fault condition, and responsive to generating the DR event, transmitting a notification of the DR event.

Generation of demand response events based on grid operations and faults

A method of estimating power flexibility for a climate system includes receiving a component power flexibility measurement from one or more components of the climate system, and aggregating the component power flexibility measurement from each of the one or more components of the climate system to determine a climate system power flexibility. A method of responding to a fast demand request from an electrical power source for a climate system is also disclosed.

Method for responding to electrical power source request

A method for controlling power consumption includes estimating power flexibility for one or more electrical systems in a building, presenting one or more power flexibility options to a user in the building, and communicating power set points to the one or more electrical systems based on a power flexibility option selected by the user. A system for predicting energy consumption of a building is also disclosed.
