Device and method for scheduling power storage devices

A method of scheduling energy storage systems (ESSs), comprising:

• receiving, by an input unit, integrated schedule information, characteristic information, and state information of the ESSs;
• generating, by a scheduling unit, schedule information of the ESSs based on the received integrated schedule information, characteristic information and state information, wherein the scheduling unit is configured to generate at least one of charging schedule information and discharging schedule information of the ESSs based on a difference between load prediction data and new regeneration energy generation prediction data;
• and
• outputting, by an output unit, the generated schedule information to the ESSs, wherein the ESSs perform charging and discharging according to the schedule information, wherein generating schedule information comprises:
• calculating, by the scheduling unit, at least one of an amount of power to be charged and a total amount of power to be discharged based on time intervals based on the integrated schedule information, and calculating, by the scheduling unit, the target scheduled charging region;
• and
• calculating, by the scheduling unit, at least one of target scheduled charging regions and target scheduled discharging regions based on at least one of the calculated amount of power to be charged and the calculated total amount of power to be discharged;
• and
• calculating, by the scheduling unit, matrix schedule information, including at least one of scheduled charging information and scheduled discharging information, by arranging the ESSs according to the time intervals in at least one of the target scheduled charging regions and the target scheduled discharging regions.
