Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling power production. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining a predicted weather event; determining a predicted power production impact for a distributed generator (DG) array based on the predicted weather event; and controlling power production from one or more components of the DG array to compensate for the predicted power production impact.
Claims20
A method for controlling a storage system, comprising:
- determining a predicted weather event;
- and
- controlling a behavior of a storage system in view of the predicted weather event.
Apparatus for storing energy comprising:
- a storage system for storing energy;
- and
- a controller, coupled to the storage system, for controlling a behavior of the storage system in view of a predicted weather event.
A system for generating and storing energy comprising:
- a distributed generator (DG) for generating energy;
- a storage system for storing at least a portion of the energy produced by the DG;
- and
- a controller, coupled to the DG and the storage system, for controlling, in view of a predicted weather event, a behavior of the DG and a behavior of the storage system.
