Method and apparatus for facilitating the operation of an on-site energy storage system to co-optimize battery dispatch

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions for:

• calculating site load curves indicating predicted site load of a customer at each of a plurality of periods of a day as a function of one or more of historical meter and billing data, in consideration of other existing on-site generation resources, and market or weather data, for each of one or more customers with on-site energy assets within a given portfolio aggregation;
• performing portfolio-level optimization as a function of the site load curves and a tariff library, the portfolio-level optimization configured to segment the site load curves in accordance with tariff periods and other site-level restrictions, and for each segment, calculate and output a power consumption maximum threshold;
• generating a set of site-level schedules, as a function of the portfolio-level optimization and one or more site restrictions, the set of site-level schedules configured to be provided to a gateway apparatus for facilitating the use of on-site energy assets instead of grid-supplied electric consumption;
• transmitting the site-level schedule to a gateway device;
• and
• causing, at a start time of a given segment, real-time or near real-time on-site asset control.

A system configured to perform fleet-level management for reducing grid-supplied energy consumption with a firm capacity reduction,

• the system comprising:
• a platform apparatus and a plurality of gateway apparatus,
• the plurality of gateway apparatus comprising at least a first gateway apparatus located at a first location, the first location being on-site of a grid-connected energy consumer and the second gateway apparatus located at a second location, the second location being on a different site of the grid-connected energy consumer or a different grid-connected energy consumer, each of the plurality of gateway apparatus configured to control an on-site energy asset, comprising at least an energy asset device, to control use of on-site energy instead of grid-supplied energy consumption;
• the platform apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive or access input data;
• determine, as a function of the input data, a location of each grid-connected energy consumers at which to reduce grid-supplied energy consumption;
• determine an amount of a reduction of grid-supplied energy consumption, and further allocate a total reduction across the systems of each grid-connected energy consumer;
• transmit a signal to each corresponding gateway device located at the determined location, the signal comprising data indicative of instructions for performing on-site energy dispatch.
