Managing Peak Power Consumption for Distributed Assets

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:

• segment the multiple distributed assets into two or more groups based on (i) energy demand behavior attributed to each of the assets and (ii) one or more user-level constraints, wherein each of the assets is associated with one or more users at a user-level of the hierarchy, and wherein each of the users is associated with one or more organizations at an organization-level of the hierarchy;
• determine one or more group-level constraints for each of the two or more groups based on correlating the energy demand behavior across the users of the two or more groups;
• generate a distinct battery charging schedule for each of the two or more groups based on (i) the one or more determined group-level constraints, (ii) one or more user-level objectives and (iii) one or more organization-level objectives;
• and
• output the generated battery charging schedule to each of the multiple distributed assets within the hierarchy.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor operably coupled to the memory and configured for:
• segmenting the multiple distributed assets into two or more groups based on (i) energy demand behavior attributed to each of the assets and (ii) one or more user-level constraints, wherein each of the assets is associated with one or more users at a user-level of the hierarchy, and wherein each of the users is associated with one or more organizations at an organization-level of the hierarchy;
• determining one or more group-level constraints for each of the two or more groups based on correlating the energy demand behavior across the users of the two or more groups;
• generating a distinct battery charging schedule for each of the two or more groups based on (i) the one or more determined group-level constraints, (ii) one or more user-level objectives and (iii) one or more organization-level objectives;
• and
• outputting the generated battery charging schedule to each of the multiple distributed assets within the hierarchy.

A computer-implemented method for generating a battery charging schedule for multiple distributed assets within a hierarchy, comprising:

• segmenting the multiple distributed assets into two or more groups based on (i) energy demand behavior attributed to each of the assets and (ii) one or more user-level constraints, wherein each of the assets is associated with one or more users at a user-level of the hierarchy, and wherein each of the users is associated with one or more organizations at an organization-level of the hierarchy;
• determining one or more group-level constraints for each of the two or more groups based on correlating the energy demand behavior across the users of the two or more groups;
• generating a distinct battery charging schedule for each of the two or more groups based on (i) the one or more determined group-level constraints, (ii) one or more user-level objectives and (iii) one or more organization-level objectives;
• outputting the generated battery charging schedule to (i) each of the multiple distributed assets within the hierarchy and (ii) a grid services component;
• and
• providing the grid services component access to the battery of each of the multiple distributed assets within the hierarchy, in accordance with the generated battery charging schedule of each of the assets, for management of load balance across the grid;
• wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
