Power aggregation and coordination for distributed energy resources
The granted patent US12057703B2 introduces an aggregation engine designed to manage power changes across multiple sites by coordinating distributed energy resources (DERs). The engine utilizes a memory to store parameters, including a target power change, and employs processors to iteratively optimize the operation of the electrical system. This is achieved by transmitting participation opportunity information to site controllers, which indicates the benefits associated with power changes. The system collects commitment information from these controllers, reflecting their contributions to the overall power change. If the combined site benefit falls below a predetermined threshold, the engine modifies the participation opportunity information to enhance the optimization process, ensuring that the aggregate change in power aligns with the target.
The patent further details various methods for adjusting the participation opportunity information, including strategies to minimize the aggregate benefit to the sites while maximizing the overall power change. The participation opportunity information can also vary over time, reflecting expected fluctuations in electrical demand. Additionally, the system can communicate with an electrical system controller to implement an extended control plan, optimizing both the cost of power changes and the associated benefits. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of power management in electrical systems, facilitating better integration of distributed energy resources.
