Abstract
Embodiments provide for controlling a power generation system that includes a plurality of power generating assets; and an energy management system including a controller in communication with the assets and configured to control operation of the assets. The controller is operative to assign the assets to a regulation pool; determine an effective control mode for each asset; and control the assets based on the determined effective control mode of each asset. The effective control mode for each asset is calculated based upon an asset pool control mode. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.
Claims21
A power generation system comprising:
- a plurality of power generating assets;
- a power transmission network coupling the assets to loads;
- and
- an energy management system including a controller in communication with the assets and configured to control operation of the assets, wherein the controller is operative to:
- assign the assets to a regulation pool;
- determine an effective control mode for each asset;
- and
- control the assets based on the determined effective control mode of each asset,
- wherein the effective control mode for each asset is calculated based upon an asset pool control mode.
A method of controlling a power generation system, the method comprising:
- assigning a plurality of power generating assets to a regulation pool;
- determining an effective control mode for each asset;
- and
- controlling the assets based on the determined effective control mode of each asset to meet requirements of a plurality of power consuming loads coupled to the power generating assets,
- wherein determining the effective control mode for each asset includes calculating the effective control mode based upon an asset pool control mode.
A controller for a power generation system, the controller comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions executable on the processor, the instructions operative to:
- assign a plurality of power generating assets to a regulation pool;
- determine an effective control mode for each asset;
- and
- control the assets based on the determined effective control mode of each asset to meet requirements of a plurality of power consuming loads coupled to the power generating assets,
- wherein the instruction to determine the effective control mode for each asset includes an instruction to calculate the effective control mode based upon an asset pool control mode.
