Abstract
A system and method for energy optimization is disclosed. The system may collect information from an information collector data including energy usage and storage data of at least one renewable energy generation system and battery energy storage system (BESS). The system may identify historical events that result in curtailment of renewable energy production, determine whether there is a curtailment of renewable energy production based at least on one historical event supervise the charge and discharge cycles of the at least one BESS; and ensuring that the diesel generators minimum up/down time is satisfied based on controlling at least one parameter of the BESS.
Claims18
A system for energy optimization, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the system to:
- receive information collector data from at least one information collector, the information collector data comprising energy usage and storage data of a renewable energy generation system that includes a battery energy storage system (BESS);
- identify historical events that result in curtailment of renewable energy production;
- determine whether there is a curtailment of renewable energy production of the renewable energy generation system based at least on the historical events;
- supervise the charge and discharge cycles of the BESS;
- operate a generator operably connected to the BESS based on the information collector data and historical events;
- and
- ensure that a minimum up/down time of the generator is satisfied based on controlling at least one parameter of the BESS.
