TECHNIQUES FOR CONTROLLING ENERGY GENERATION AND STORAGE SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a site gateway from a control server, a plurality of schedules for controlling charging and discharging of an energy storage device, each schedule in the plurality of schedules corresponding to a function that takes as input one or more input parameters and returns as output an output parameter corresponding to a power level for the energy storage device;
determining, by the site gateway, relative priorities for the plurality of schedules; and
controlling, by the site gateway, charging and discharging of the energy storage device based on the plurality of schedules and their relative priorities.

Abstract
Techniques for controlling energy generation and/or storage systems. In one embodiment, a method is provided that can comprise receiving from a control server a plurality of schedules for controlling the charging and discharging of an energy storage device, where each schedule corresponds to a function that takes as input one or more input parameters and returns as output an output parameter corresponding to a power level for the energy storage device. The method can further comprise determining relative priorities for the plurality of schedules and controlling charging/discharging of the energy storage device based on the plurality of schedules and their relative priorities.
