摘要: A system for controlling power distribution between a renewable energy source (RES) that generates electrical power, a power grid, an energy storage system (ESS) coupled to and configured to store electrical power from the RES and the power grid, and a behind-the-meter (BTM) load coupled to and configured to receive electrical power from the RES, the ESS, and the power grid includes a controller. The controller includes a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the controller to determine a prioritization mode and control the flow of electrical power in the system based on the prioritization mode.

摘要: A method for coordinated control of a renewable electrical energy source (RES) and an electrical energy storage (EES) device utilizes a time-dependent forecast of electrical energy production by the RES and a state of charge (SOC) schedule for the EES including at least one SOC target value. A time-varying charge/discharge control signal is configured to ensure that the SOC schedule is satisfied by charging at a rate necessary to meet the SOC target value, while periodically updating the generation of the charge/discharge control signal based upon an updated time-dependent forecast of electrical energy production and/or an updated SOC schedule. A configurable refresh period may be used to limit updates of the time-varying control signal including computation and use of a new basepoint value for aggregated energy supplied from the RES-ESS facility to an electrical grid.

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.

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: Methods for implementing power delivery transactions between a buyer and a seller of electrical energy supplied to an electrical grid by an integrated renewable energy source (RES) and energy storage system (ESS) of a RES-ESS facility are provided. Estimated total potential output of the RES is compared to a point of grid interconnect (POGI) limit to identify potential RES overgeneration, and the buyer is charged if potential RES overgeneration is less than potential overgeneration during one or more retrospective time windows. The method provides a basis for the RES-ESS facility owner to be paid for an estimated amount of energy that did not get stored as a result of a grid operator not fully discharging an ESS prior to the start of a new day.
