SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN IMPROVING OPERATION OF UTILITY EQUIPMENT
First Claim
1. A system for use in operating utility equipment that includes a plurality of controllable components, said system comprising:
- a memory device configured to store operating conditions associated with the controllable components;
a processor coupled to said memory device and programmed to;
determine that a first controllable component of the plurality of controllable components is ineligible for an actuation based on the stored operating conditions;
associate a disregard indicator with the first controllable component, wherein the disregard indicator represents that the first controllable component is ineligible for the actuation; and
execute an operation enhancement algorithm to determine a desired operation of the controllable components, wherein the first controllable component is excluded from the operation enhancement algorithm based on the disregard indicator.

Abstract
Systems and methods for use in operating utility equipment that includes a plurality of controllable components. A computing device determines that a first controllable component of a plurality of controllable components is ineligible for an actuation based at least in part on operating conditions associated with the controllable components. A disregard indicator representing that the first controllable component is ineligible for the actuation is associated with the first controllable component by the computing device. An operation enhancement algorithm is executed by the computing device to determine a desired operation of the controllable components. The first controllable component is excluded from the operation enhancement algorithm based on the disregard indicator.

9. A method for use in operating utility equipment that includes a plurality of controllable components, said method comprising:
-
determining, by a computing device, that a first controllable component of a plurality of controllable components is ineligible for an actuation based at least in part on past operating conditions associated with the first controllable component; associating, by the computing device, a disregard indicator with the first controllable component, wherein the disregard indicator represents that the first controllable component is ineligible for the actuation; and executing, by the computing device, an operation enhancement algorithm to determine a desired operation of the controllable components, wherein the first controllable component is excluded from the operation enhancement algorithm based on the disregard indicator. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:
-
determine that a first controllable component of a plurality of controllable components is ineligible for an actuation based at least in part on operating conditions associated with the first controllable component; associate with the first controllable component a disregard indicator representing that the first controllable component is ineligible for the actuation; and execute an operation enhancement algorithm to determine a desired operation of the controllable components, wherein the first controllable component is excluded from the operation enhancement algorithm based on the disregard indicator. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
