    Abstract: An energy storage system includes a photovoltaic energy field, a stationary energy storage device, an energy converter, and a controller. The photovoltaic energy field converts solar energy into electrical energy and charges the stationary energy storage device with the electrical energy. The energy converter converts the electrical energy stored in the stationary energy storage device into AC power at a discharge rate and supplies a campus with the AC power at the discharge rate. The controller predicts a required load of the campus and an electrical generation of the photovoltaic energy field across a time horizon and optimizes a cost function subject to a set of constraints to determine a discharge rate of the AC power to achieve a desired power factor. At least one of the set of constraints applied to the cost function ensures that the energy converter can convert the electrical energy stored in the stationary energy storage device into AC power having the determined power factor and discharge rate.

    Abstract: A frequency response optimization system includes a battery, a power inverter, and a frequency response controller. The battery is configured to store and discharge electric power. The power inverter is configured to control an amount of the electric power stored or discharged from the battery. The frequency response controller includes a high level controller configured to determine values of clipping parameters and a low level controller configured to use the values of the clipping parameters to modify battery power setpoints. The power inverter is configured to use the modified battery power setpoints to control the amount of the electric power stored or discharged from the battery.

    Abstract: A system that modifies an environmental condition of a building zone is provided. The system includes an airside processing circuit and a waterside processing circuit. The airside processing circuit drives a damper actuator to a first setpoint based on an air flow rate setpoint and a first pressure measurement, receives an air flow error signal based on the air flow rate setpoint and a second pressure measurement, determines a setpoint based on the air flow error signal, and drives the damper actuator to the second setpoint. The waterside processing circuit drives a valve actuator to a first setpoint based on a fluid flow rate setpoint and a first flow rate measurement, receives a fluid flow error signal based on the fluid flow rate setpoint and a second flow rate measurement, determines a second setpoint based on the fluid flow error signal, and drives the valve actuator to the second setpoint.

    Abstract: A building management system includes a communications interface connected to HVAC devices, a device identifier configured to identify the HVAC devices, a fault detector configured to detect a fault condition in the identified devices, and a causal relationship template retriever configured to retrieve a fault causation template of system parameters specific to the fault condition. The building management system further includes a status requestor configured to retrieve operating data from the identified devices and a user interface generator. The user interface generator is configured to populate the system parameters of the fault causation template with the retrieved operating data and transmit a signal to display a user interface with the populated fault causation template on a display screen.
