Energy service management for diverse connected assets
The patent US12036879B2 outlines a method for managing energy services across various assets connected to multiple grid connection points. The process begins with each asset determining the quantity of energy service it will provide during a connection event. For assets classified as a first type, the method involves detecting a grid connection point identifier linked to the asset's associated grid connection point. After the energy service is realized, the asset sends connection event information to an energy services controller, which includes either the determined quantity of energy service and an asset identifier or the grid connection point identifier, depending on the asset type. The method also incorporates an identification module that reads the grid connection point identifier, allowing the asset to select from available energy services and manage the chosen service accordingly.
Additionally, the method includes provisions for setting and controlling the quantity of the selected energy service, which may encompass various support services such as spinning reserve, frequency support, regulation, and VAR support. The patent distinguishes between mobile and fixed assets, with specific adjustments made to predetermined accounts associated with each asset type based on the realized energy service quantity. In cases where the connection event information lacks the grid connection point identifier, the method allows for the identification and adjustment of the associated predetermined account. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for optimizing energy service management across diverse asset types and grid connections.
