OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE USAGE IN WIND ENERGY APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A power production system comprising:
- a wind farm comprising a plurality of wind turbines;
an energy storage device configured to service a first energy storage application at the first wind farm; and
a supervisory controller configured to determine if an attribute of the energy storage device is less than or equal to a threshold for the first energy storage application and to schedule the energy storage device for a second energy storage application at the first wind farm or at a second wind farm different than the first wind farm.

Abstract
System, method, and computer program product for optimally scheduling energy storage devices in wind energy applications. The power production system includes an energy storage device configured to service a first energy storage application at the first wind farm and a supervisory controller configured to determine if an attribute of the energy storage device is less than or equal to a threshold for the first energy storage application. In response to the attribute being less than or equal to a threshold for the first energy storage application, the supervisory controller schedules the energy storage device for a second energy storage application at the first wind farm or at a second wind farm different than the first wind farm. The optimization of the scheduling may be implemented in a computer-implemented method or as a computer program product.

7. A computer-implemented method for optimizing energy storage device scheduling in wind energy applications, the method comprising:
-
comparing an attribute of a first energy storage device at a first wind farm with a threshold for a first energy storage application served by the first energy storage device at the first wind farm; and in response to the attribute being less than or equal to the threshold, scheduling the first battery to serve a second energy storage application at the first wind farm or at a second wind farm different than the first wind farm. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
