摘要： A distributed energy resource (DER) may store electrical power from an AC circuit and discharge stored electrical power to the AC circuit. A DER may be coupled to the AC circuit via a plug inserted into a receptacle coupled to the AC circuit, and a load device may be plugged into the DER via a receptacle of the DER. The DER may pass AC power from the AC circuit to the load device, and may draw additional power from the AC circuit to charge an energy storage circuit of the DER. The DER may also discharge stored energy into the AC circuit and/or power the load device directly.

摘要： Computer systems and methods regarding distributed energy resource systems (DERs) re described. Configurations and employed methods may include sending a command to a DER system to place the DER system in one or more of a charge state, a discharge state, an idle state, or a reactive power state. these DER systems may include a rechargeable battery, a dc/ac converter configured to receive a DC voltage from the battery and convert the received DC voltage for receipt by an external AC circuit, and one or more controllers configured to designate operation state of the battery in at least a charge state, a discharge state, and an idle state.
