SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM CONTROL
First Claim
1. A control system for controlling an energy storage system, the control system comprising:
- a meter interface for receiving meter data from at least one metering device positioned to track energy drawn by an electrical infrastructure from a utility distribution system;
an energy storage system interface for communicating with an energy storage system connected to the electrical infrastructure, the energy storage system having an energy capacity and an output power rating; and
a controller including a plurality of layered nodes configured to form an artificial neural network trained to generate a forecasted transmission level load and confidence value for an entire jurisdiction of the utility distribution system;
the controller comprising;
at least one memory and at least one processor configured for;
identifying a potential coincident peak for the utility distribution system based on the forecasted transmission level load and confidence value generated by the artificial neural network; and
upon identifying a potential coincident peak, transmitting signals to cause the electrical infrastructure to consume energy stored at the energy storage system thereby reducing the energy drawn from the utility distribution system during the identified potential coincident peak.
