Systems and methods to control a power split between energy generation and energy storage assets

An energy generation and storage system, comprising:

• one or more energy generation assets;
• one or more energy storage assets;
• and
• a system controller communicatively coupled to the one or more energy generation assets and to the one or more energy storage assets, the system controller comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system controller to:
• receive data indicative of a grid service request;
• identify a plurality of candidate responses to the grid service request, each candidate response including one or more operational parameters, the one or more operational parameters including at least a split value that describes a power split between the one or more energy generation assets and the one or more energy storage assets;
• determine a plurality of response scores respectively for the plurality of candidate responses based at least in dart on a plurality of asset life impact values that describe an impact that the plurality of candidate responses would have on an asset life of at least one of the one or more power generation assets and the one or more energy storage assets;
• select one of the plurality of candidate responses as a desired response to the grid service request based at least in part on the plurality of response scores;
• and
• control the energy generation and storage system according to at least the split value of the desired response, wherein the instructions that cause the system controller to identify the plurality of candidate responses and determine the plurality of response scores cause the system controller to, for each of a plurality of iterations until a desired response score is achieved;
• adjust at least one of the split value and a total power setpoint of an input candidate response;
• and
• input the adjusted input candidate response into a scoring model to obtain one of the plurality of response scores, wherein the scoring model includes an asset life scoring component that outputs the asset life impact value based at least in part on the split value and the total power setpoint, and wherein the scoring model further includes a revenue generation scoring component that outputs a revenue value based at least in part on the total power setpoint;
• wherein iterative adjustments to the at least one of the split value and the total power setpoint of the input candidate response respectively define the plurality of candidate responses.

A system controller for controlling one or more energy generation assets and one or more energy storage assets, the system controller comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system controller to:

• receive data indicative of a grid service request;
• identify a plurality of candidate responses to the grid service request, wherein each candidate response includes one or more operational parameters, and wherein the one or more operational parameters include at least a split value that describes a power split between the one or more energy generation assets and the one or more energy storage assets;
• obtain state of asset data for at least one of the energy generation assets and energy storage assets, wherein the state of asset data for the at least one asset describes at least one of a state of health, a state of charge, a state of emissions, and an efficiency for such asset;
• determine, for each of the plurality of candidate responses, an asset life impact value that describes an impact to an asset life of one or more of the energy generation assets and the energy storage assets due to such candidate response, wherein the asset life impact value determined for at least one of the energy generation assets or the energy storage assets is based at least in part on the state of asset data obtained for such energy generation asset or energy storage asset;
• determine, for each of the plurality of candidate responses, a potential revenue value provided by such candidate response;
• determining, for each of the plurality of candidate response, a total cost value incurred by the system due to such candidate response, wherein the total cost value for each candidate response is based at least in part on the asset life impact value determined for such candidate response;
• determine, for each of the plurality of candidate responses, a response score based at least in part on a difference between the potential revenue value and the total cost value;
• select the candidate responses with the largest response score as a desired response;
• and
• control the one or more energy generation assets and the one or more energy storage assets in accordance with the desired response.
