    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for optimized control of renewable energy powerplants (REPP). A method may include partitioning an REPP into at least two partitions for a period of time; defining a first bidding strategy of a first partition of the at least two partitions for the period of time, wherein the first partition includes a first allocation of capacity; defining a second bidding strategy of a second partition of the at least two partitions for the period of time, wherein the second partition includes a second allocation of capacity; generating a first score for the first bidding strategy of the first partition and a second score for the second bidding strategy of the second partition; adjusting the at least two partitions based on the first score and the second score; and discharging energy from the REPP according to the adjusted at least two partitions.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for managing a temperature of a battery energy storage system (“BESS”). A method may comprise obtaining a charge/discharge schedule for a battery energy storage system (BESS) for a first time period; identifying, from the charge/discharge schedule, a charge or discharge time period of the BESS within the first time period; calculating a beginning time of a temperature control time period in which equipment operates to control a temperature of the BESS to reach a target temperature by a beginning time of the charge or discharge time period; and controlling the equipment operating to control the temperature of the BESS for the temperature control time period such that the temperature of the BESS reaches the target temperature by the beginning time of the charge or discharge time period.

    摘要: A method may include obtaining irradiance data at a first time and a second time from sensors, determining whether one or more solar modules of a plurality of networked power plants will be covered by a shadow or shade at a third time based on the irradiance data, and generating, based on the determination, a power output prediction for each power plant of the networked power plants at the third time. The method may further include receiving power delivery profiles for first and second loads, adjusting a power output of one or more power plants of the networked power plants based at least in part on the power output prediction and the power delivery profiles for the first and second loads, and allocating a combined power output of the power plants to the first and second loads based on first and second load reliability thresholds.
