US 2026/0180358 A1 · LOW VOLTAGE NETWORK DISTRIBUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

An electricity network can have an amount of electricity available for provisioning to a plurality of service sites served by a network manager. A service site may be determined from among the plurality of service sites. The service site may include local assets. The network may also include network manager-operated assets. An objective function may be used to determine a dynamic operating envelope for the service site, which indicates an amount of power that the service site may be permitted to put onto or take off the electricity network. In some instances, the network manager may use an objective function which uses a dynamic operating envelope when controlling manager-operated assets. The service site may receive an instance of such a dynamic operating envelope and control a local asset in response to the dynamic operating envelope. In some instances, the service site may use an objective function which uses a dynamic operating envelope when controlling local assets.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining an amount of electricity available for provisioning to a plurality of service sites served by an electricity network operator operating an electricity grid, wherein the electricity grid comprises a low voltage grid;
determining a particular service site, from among the plurality of service sites, that includes a load and at least one of a local energy generation source or a local energy storage device;
using an objective function to determine a dynamic operating envelope for the particular service site, wherein the dynamic operating envelope defines, as a portion of the amount of electricity available to the plurality of service sites, an amount of power that the particular service site is permitted to put onto or take off the electricity grid during a period of time;
and
communicating the dynamic operating envelope to the particular service site.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining an amount of electricity available for provisioning to a plurality of service sites served by an electricity network operator that is operating an electricity grid, wherein the electricity grid includes a low voltage grid and a network operator managed energy storage device, and wherein the electricity grid receives energy from at least one high or medium voltage energy generation source;
determining a particular service site, from among the plurality of service sites, that includes at least one of a local energy generation source, a local energy storage device, or a load;
using an objective function to determine a dynamic operating envelope for the particular service site, wherein the dynamic operating envelope defines, as a portion of the amount of electricity available to the plurality of service sites, an amount of power that the particular service site is permitted to put onto or take off the electricity grid during a period of time;
and
communicating the dynamic operating envelope to the particular service site.
