Abstract: Control of power resources based on battery state of health (SoH) and operation metrics includes estimating a SoH of a particular battery using an end-of-life SOH value and a kWh warranty value from battery catalog data and a battery kWh from battery throughput data; estimating battery capacity using the estimated SoH and a rated battery capacity from the battery catalog data; and estimating an allowable monthly throughput using a month warranty value, the kWh warranty value, the battery kWh, and number of operating months. Dynamic discharge cost is calculated using battery replacement cost data, the kWh warranty value, and the battery kWh. An optimal dispatch for operating the particular battery can be determined considering battery degradation using the estimated battery capacity, the estimated allowable monthly throughput, and the dynamic discharge cost. Dispatch commands can be output according to the determined optimal dispatch.

Abstract: A multi-layer architecture for control of distributed energy resources (DER) includes a forecasting and optimization system and one or more site-level controllers. The forecasting and optimization system generates predictions of optimal set points and communicate the optimal set points to a site-level controller. The site-level controller includes stored instructions that, when executed, direct the site-level controller to perform a boundary check and a real-time static economic dispatch, which can include steps of receiving optimal set points from the forecasting and optimization system; comparing received optimal set points with local conditions; outputting dispatch commands for DER control according to the optimal set points when the optimal set points are within appropriate limits with respect to the local conditions; and when the optimal set points exceed the appropriate limits, generating adjusted dispatch commands and outputting the adjusted dispatch commands for the DER control.
