Method and System for Generating and Optimizing the Capacity Ratings of an Electric Power System Facility
First Claim
1. An electric capacity rating system for optimizing electric loading transfer capabilities, comprising:
- a processor for receiving and storing information about available resources in one or more electric power facilities;
a capability datastore in communication with said processor for determining electrical capabilities at any given point in time;
an external factors datastore for determining a plurality of variables which affect said electrical capabilities; and
a resource manager for allocating said plurality of available resources by optimizing said electrical capabilities at any given point in time;
said resource manager correlating said plurality of variables with said electrical capabilities to generate an electric capacity rating for said one or more electric power facilities; and
said resource manager, said external factors datastore, and said capability datastore being in processing communication with said processor and with each other.

Abstract
A method and system is provided for optimizing electric loading transfer capabilities. In one embodiment, the system comprises a processor which receives and stores information regarding available resources of one or more electric power facilities. The system includes a capability datastore and an external factors datastore, both of which communicate with the processor and with each other. The capability datastore determines electrical capabilities of the available resources at any given point in time while the external factors datastore determines a plurality of variables which affect the electrical capabilities. A resource manager connected to the processor is also provided. The resource manager allocates the plurality of available resources by optimizing and correlating the electrical capabilities with the plurality of variables, to generate an electric capacity rating for the one or more electric power facilities.
