After developing one or more customer specific control models, the method proceeds by training the customer specific control models and then deploying the customer specific control model to the customer for use by the customer to determine which of a plurality of modes the energy storage system should be in. The method may include the development, deployment and/or execution of one or more centralized control models for controlling a network of any combination of common and/or different customer control models. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for controlling an energy storage system, the method comprising: receiving time-series data and customer specific data; developing a customer specific control model based at least in part on the time-series data and/or the customer specific data; training the customer specific control model based at least in part on a first portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; testing the customer specific control model based at least in part on a second portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; and deploying the customer specific control model to the customer for use by the customer to determine which of a plurality of modes the energy storage system should be in. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of modes of the energy storage system comprise any combination of a charging mode, a discharging mode, and a do nothing mode. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of modes of the energy storage system further comprise an indication of the desired net flow of power and/or energy into or out of the energy storage system. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the customer specific control model is configured to maximize a financial return from the energy storage system by selling energy back to the network at beneficial times as determined by the customer specific control model. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the customer specific control module can be updated by communicating an update to the customer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the control model utilizes customer configuration information to determine which of a plurality of modes and/or corresponding magnitudes the energy storage system should be in. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a different customer specific control model is developed for different customers. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the time-series data comprises any combination of historical energy market information, environmental information, electricity usage and/or generation from the commercial or residential premises, weather services, and/or financial data related to macro and micro economic information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the customer specific data comprises any combination of the location of the customer, the customer preferences, electricity retail contract information, network provider information, electrical details about the connection point, and/or information about the energy storage system. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data is validated prior to being utilized to develop the customer specific control model. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the energy storage system comprises at least one battery system. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the customer specific control model comprises a plurality of modules which are configured to be executed in a predetermined manner based, at least in part, on a linked relationship between the modules and output parameters. ### Claim 13 A system for controlling a plurality of energy storage systems associated with a corresponding plurality of customers, the system comprising: at least one storage device configured to store time-series data and customer specific data for a plurality of customers; at least one centralized processor configured to: (i) receive the time-series data and the customer specific data for a plurality of customers; (ii) develop a customer specific control model for the plurality of customers based at least in part on the time-series data and the customer specific data of the corresponding customer; (iii) train the customer specific control model based at least in part on a first portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; and (iv) test the customer specific control model based at least in part on a second portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; and a plurality of controllers associated with a corresponding plurality of customer energy storage systems, wherein the plurality of controllers is configured to receive a corresponding customer specific control model to determine which of a plurality of modes the energy storage system corresponding to the customer should be in. ### Claim 14 A system for controlling a plurality of energy storage systems associated with a corresponding plurality of customers, the system comprising: at least one storage device configured to store time-series data and customer specific data for a plurality of customers; at least one centralized processor configured to: (i) receive the time-series data and the customer specific data for a plurality of customers; (ii) develop a plurality of customer specific control models for the plurality of customers based at least in part on the time-series data and the customer specific data of the corresponding customer; (iii) train the plurality of customer specific control models based at least in part on a first portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; and (iv) test the customer specific control model based at least in part on a second portion of the time-series data and at least a portion of the customer specific data; and a plurality of controllers associated with a corresponding plurality of customer energy storage systems, wherein the plurality of controllers is configured to receive a corresponding plurality of customer specific control models to determine which of a plurality of modes the energy storage system corresponding to the customer should be in. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the plurality of modes of the energy storage system comprise any combination of a charging mode, a discharging mode, and a do nothing mode. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the plurality of modes of the energy storage system further comprise an indication of the desired net flow of energy into or out of the energy storage system. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the customer specific control model is configured to maximize a financial return from the energy storage system by selling energy back to the network at beneficial times as determined by the customer specific control model and other services. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the customer specific control module can be updated by pushing an update to the customer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the customer specific control model utilizes customer configuration information to determine which of a plurality of modes the energy storage system should be in. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the time-series data comprises any combination of historical energy market information, environmental information, electricity usage and/or generation from the commercial or residential premises, weather services, and/or financial data related to macro and micro economic and other data.
