Optimizing dispatch of multiple electrical resources based on status characteristics
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002893B2) outlines a method for responding to electricity usage control instructions. The method involves receiving such instructions, determining the status characteristics of various dispatchable electrical resources, and dividing the control instructions accordingly. This division is based on the cost efficiency of supplying power to the utility distribution grid from each resource, with a priority given to dispatching certain resources over others. The patent also details the rotation of priority between different sets of resources over time, based on changes in their status characteristics.
Furthermore, the patent describes the generation of time series projections of status characteristics, allowing for a comparison between different dispatchable electrical resources. The method also includes scenarios where the control instructions are divided evenly among resources exceeding a threshold value or falling within a non-numeric category. Additionally, the division of control instructions is done proportionally to the status characteristics of the dispatchable electrical resources, ensuring an efficient response to electricity usage control directives. Overall, the patent provides a structured approach to managing electricity usage control instructions by prioritizing dispatchable resources based on their cost efficiency and adapting to changes in their status characteristics over time.
