1. A method of dispatching electrical energy from an energy storage system, the method comprising:

  • monitoring electrical energy demand of a facility load;

    setting a demand cap for a demand period;

    comparing the electrical energy demand of the facility load against the demand cap during the demand period;

    in response to determining that the electrical energy demand of the facility load is expected to be less than the demand cap, determining whether an energy storage system can dispatch electrical energy at a discharge limit for a duration equal to or longer than a remaining time in the demand period; and

    in response to determining that the energy storage system can dispatch electrical energy at the discharge limit for the duration equal to or longer than the remaining time in the demand period, discharging electrical energy from the energy storage system at the discharge limit.
