A method, apparatus, system and computer program is provided for controlling an electric power system, including implementation of a voltage control and conservation (VCC) system used to optimally control the independent voltage and capacitor banks using a linear optimization methodology to minimize the losses in the EEDCS and the EUS. An energy validation process system (EVP) is provided which is used to document the savings of the VCC and an EPP is used to optimize improvements to the EEDCS for continuously improving the energy losses in the EEDS. The EVP system measures the improvement in the EEDS a result of operating the VCC system in the “ON” state determining the level of energy conservation achieved by the VCC system. In addition the VCC system monitors pattern recognition events and compares them to the report-by-exception data to detect HVL events. If one is detected the VCC optimizes the capacity of the EEDS to respond to the HVL events by centering the piecewise linear solution maximizing the ability of the EDDS to absorb the HVL event. The VCC stabilizer function integrates voltage data from AMI meters and assess the state of the grid and initiates appropriate voltage control actions to hedge against predictable voltage risks.

A system powers a resistive load with switched direct current (DC) power. The high-speed switching of the resistive load heats up the resistive load with a pseudo-DC current. The resistive load can be a water heater element. The water heater can also have another heating element, which allows the pseudo-DC signal to pre-heat the water heater with local solar power, reducing the need for outside energy to power the other heating element.

The present invention estimates the occurrence of an abnormality in a power-generating facility. The present invention also estimates a loss due to the abnormality. An acquisition unit acquires an actual performance value of an amount of power generated by the power-generating facility. An estimation unit uses the actual performance value to estimate the occurrence of an abnormality event, on the basis of a characteristic of the amount of power generated corresponding to a prescribed abnormality event occurring in the power-generating facility. A power generation amount estimation unit obtains an estimated value for what the amount of power generated by the power-generating facility would be if the abnormality event had not occurred. A loss estimation unit compares the actual performance value with the estimated value, and thereby estimates a loss amount attributable to the abnormality event.

The invention involves the development of an enhanced luminescent concentrator solar panel using a specific method to capture and concentrate the maximum percentage of solar energy. The solution is a luminescent solar panel that absorbs all incident energy without dispersion on the opposite side (no semi-transparency). This enhanced luminescent solar concentrator operates with sunlight and is made up of a transparent material, a specific distribution of composite pigment consisting of diffusive and reflective elements with an intermediate layer reflecting solar light, photovoltaic strips positioned at the lateral edges of the transparent portion, and a reflective base. Solar light incident on the panel is diffused by the pigment and trapped in the underlying part through a funnel-shaped region and the reflection between the intermediate layer and the lower reflective base of the panel. The trapped light remains concentrated and is transferred to the photovoltaic elements through reflection. This invention is innovative because it allows for the creation of an enhanced luminescent concentrator solar panel (LSC) that absorbs the majority of incident energy, reducing losses. This application is highly effective as it can be used as a coating for opaque surfaces (non-glass) in green energy generation. These results are achieved without the need for expensive materials or equipment, thanks to the synergies among the constituent parts, making it ready for immediate industrializatio
