Method and apparatus for delivering power using external data
First Claim
1. A method for generating operating instructions for a distributed energy storage system, the method comprising:
- iteratively executing a simulation to generate one or more demand set-point curves and one or more battery state-of-charge profiles for an electric bad location associated with the distributed energy storage system, andtransmitting the one or more demand set-point curves and the one or more battery state-of-charge profiles to a set-point controller that is included within the distributed energy storage system and is configured to update a demand set point based on the one or more demand set-point curves and to control a rate of energy flow for an energy source associated with the electric bad location based on the one or more battery state-of-charge profiles.

Abstract
A control system for an energy storage system located behind a utility meter uses a unique, feedback-based, communication and control method to reliably and efficiently maximize economic return of the energy storage system. Operating parameters for the energy storage system are calculated at an external, centralized data center, and are selected to prevent electrical power demand of an electric load location from exceeding a specified set-point by discharging energy storage devices, such as DC batteries, through a bidirectional energy converter during peak demand events. The control system can operate autonomously in the case of a communications failure.
