Maximize the compatibility of the energy delivery system with voltage optimization Patent No. 11,132,012 provides a method, device, system and computer program for controlling the power system, including the realization of a voltage control and protection (VCC) system for optimizing the control of independent voltages And capacitor banks use linear optimization methods to minimize losses in EEDCS and EUS. An energy verification process system (EVP) is provided to record VCC savings and use an EPP to optimize the improvement of EEDCS to continuously improve the energy loss in EEDS. The EVP system measures the improvement of EEDS, which is the result of operating the VCC system in the "ON" state, and determines the energy saving level achieved by the VCC system. In addition, the VCC system monitors pattern recognition events and compares them with abnormal report data to detect HVL events. If one is detected, VCC optimizes the ability of EEDS to respond to HVL events by centering the piecewise linear solution to maximize EDDS's ability to absorb HVL events. Inventors: Phillip W.
