ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,665,423, issued on June 23, was assigned to Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of Arizona State University (Tempe, Ariz.).
"Systems and methods for AC optimal power flow modeling for unbalanced distribution systems" was invented by Mojdeh Hedman (Tempe, Ariz.) and Zahra Soltani (Tempe, Ariz.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system and associated method models behavior of an unbalanced distribution system using a current-voltage (IVACOPF) formulation. Untransposed distribution lines, shunt elements of distribution lines, and detailed representation of distribution transformers and DERs are modeled. The system provides detailed modeling of...
