Optimal control of distributed energy resources for economic operation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973344B2) discloses a system for aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs) to participate in response events by optimizing power production. The system includes site controllers corresponding to sites with DERs, an aggregation engine, and an engagement rule set. The site controllers determine control values for DERs based on constraints and cost elements, while the aggregation engine aggregates DERs, provides engagement rules to site controllers, and minimizes operating costs by optimizing control parameters. The system also involves receiving impact representations from site controllers, determining participation based on total impact, and instructing site controllers to schedule DERs for response events, ensuring efficient power production.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for aggregating DERs by receiving aggregation opportunities, polling site optimization engines for site impacts, and determining participation in response events based on total impact. The method involves providing engagement rule sets, predicting local load and generation, defining control parameter sets, and minimizing operating costs. Site optimization engines are instructed to schedule participation in response events by producing a portion of the requested power level production. The method also includes polling site optimization engines for impact representations, determining participation based on total impact, and optimizing power production by reducing consumed power or generating electricity at the site. This innovative system and method aim to efficiently aggregate DERs for response events, ensuring cost-effective and optimized power production.
