摘要: An add-on renewable power plant (ARPP) may include a renewable energy source (RES) connected to a legacy renewable power plant (LRPP) interconnection infrastructure, where an output capacity of the RES is sized based on an LRPP transmission capacity and an LRPP power output profile, and an energy storage system (ESS) connected to the LRPP interconnection infrastructure, where a storage capacity of the ESS is sized based on the LRPP transmission capacity and the LRPP power output profile. The ARPP may also include a controller configured to control an ARPP output by controlling an RES output and an ESS charge/discharge such that a variability of an ARPP-LRPP combined power output has a lower variability than a variability of an LRPP output and control the ARPP output such that the ARPP-LRPP combined power output does not exceed a transmission capacity of the LRPP interconnection infrastructure.

摘要: A solar power system including a first solar module group comprising one or more first solar modules; a second solar module group comprising one or more second solar modules; a first inverter coupled with the first solar module group and the second solar module group; a second inverter coupled with the first solar module group and the second solar module group; and a controller comprising a processor coupled with memory. The processor (i) operates the first inverter and the second inverter in a first control position in which the first inverter draws energy from the first solar module group and the second inverter draws energy from the second solar module, and, when a combined output of the first solar module group and the second solar module group is below a threshold percentage of a maximum output of the first inverter or the second inverter, (ii) operates the first inverter and the second inverter in a second control position in which the first inverter draws energy from the first solar module group and the second module group.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a system that includes an energy source, a switching system, and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive, from a first REPP controller operating within a first REPP, an indication of an event at the first REPP; and responsive to receipt of the indication, adjust a switching position of the switching system to a first switching position to enable the energy source to provide energy to the first REPP and not any other REPP of the plurality of REPPs.

摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for offsetting parasitic energy losses of a battery energy storage system (BESS). A method may include determining, by one or more processors of a renewable energy power plant coupled to an energy grid, a condition is satisfied; and responsive to the determination, adjusting, by the one or more processors, a state of a switch from a first state configured to couple a second BESS with a renewable energy source (RES) to a second state configured to couple the second BESS with the BESS. The RES configured to charge the T-BESS when the switch is in the first state and the T-BESS configured to send energy to the devices to satisfy energy requirements of the devices when the switch is in the second state.

摘要: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in an energy control system includes instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to receive a request for station power from a requesting power plant of a plurality of power plants, determine a burden score associated with supplying the station power to the requesting power plant from two or more supplier power plants of the plurality of power plants, allocate available power from the supplier power plant having the lowest burden score to the requesting power plant, and provide a notification to an operator of the supplier power plant having the lowest burden score. The notification indicating the amount of power expected to be supplied to the requesting power plant.

摘要: A method of adjusting energy delivered by a renewable energy system to an electrical grid and an energy-consuming load is disclosed. The method may comprise determining a production schedule of a renewable energy system (RES) and establishing a prioritization order between the electrical grid and the energy-consuming load. The method may further comprise setting a power receiving threshold for the electrical grid or the energy-consuming load based on the prioritization order, and adjusting the energy delivered by the RES by controlling a first amount of energy delivered to the electrical grid and a second amount of energy delivered to the energy-consuming load. A variability schedule of at least one of the first amount of energy or the second amount of energy can be amplified or dampened over a time period relative to the natural variability energy production schedule of the RES.

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.
