Abstract: A system for determining power flows in a power plant including an energy storage system (ESS) including an energy storage device and a power generation system comprising a power source includes at least one memory storing a power plant model. The power plant model includes an ESS model including an energy storage device model, a power generation system model, a load model of a load configured to receive power from the power plant, and system relationships between the ESS model, the power generation system model, and the load model. The system further includes at least one processor configured to receive input parameters for the load, determine a power flow rate at a point in the power plant or an energy storage level of the energy storage device at a first time step, and generate a record comprising an indication of the power flow rate or energy storage level.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for optimized control of renewable energy powerplants (REPP). A method may include partitioning an REPP into at least two partitions for a period of time; defining a first bidding strategy of a first partition of the at least two partitions for the period of time, wherein the first partition includes a first allocation of capacity; defining a second bidding strategy of a second partition of the at least two partitions for the period of time, wherein the second partition includes a second allocation of capacity; generating a first score for the first bidding strategy of the first partition and a second score for the second bidding strategy of the second partition; adjusting the at least two partitions based on the first score and the second score; and discharging energy from the REPP according to the adjusted at least two partitions.
