Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for optimizing energy management of an energy resource site. For instance, a hierarchical energy management system can provide optimized management of energy resource sites with large numbers of energy resources. In particular, the hierarchical energy management system can effectively control energy resources by allocating functionality using different tiers. For instance, one or more energy resources devices can comprise the lowest tier of the hierarchical energy management system. The next tier of the hierarchical energy management system can comprise one or more controllers that can manage the energy resource devices. The next tier of the hierarchical energy management system, a resource manager, generally manages the set of controllers.

Abstract: A charge and discharge control device of a battery charges the battery with a constant current in a constant current mode. When the voltage of the battery corresponds to an end-of-charge voltage, the charge and discharge control device converts the constant current mode to a constant voltage mode and thereby charges the battery with a constant voltage. The end-of-charge voltage is set as a first end-of-charge voltage minus a negative electrode threshold potential from the full-charge voltage of the battery, and the negative electrode threshold potential is a potential value of the negative electrode where a negative electrode active material contained in the battery causes a phase change.
