Abstract
The present invention is directed towards an electricity supply management system for a terminal user facility connected to an electrical power supply grid, the terminal user facility comprising an energy storage device with means for monitoring one or more operating parameters of the energy storage device; the monitoring means being connected to a controller which is operably connected to the energy storage device for controlling operation of the energy storage device; wherein, the controller comprises a self-learning algorithm that can determine the operating characteristics of the energy storage device connected thereto so as to improve the efficiency of the electricity supply management system by adapting the response of the electricity supply management system in accordance with the determined operating characteristics of the energy storage device. Moreover, the electrical power supply grid has at least one grid control center to receive monitoring data from weather monitoring and forecast services and/or facilities, grid monitoring and control devices, and/or electricity generating facilities; the electrical power supply grid having means to generate a data stream containing the monitoring data; the electrical power supply grid transmitting the data stream by radio signal; the terminal user facility having a radio receiver to receive the radio signal carrying the data stream; the radio receiver being connected to the controller such that the controller can optimize operation of the energy storage device in response to the data stream received from the grid control center.
