  • Patent number: 8265798
    Abstract: A system and method of curtailing energy production within congestive grid operating environments including a method of managing power generation of a power generation site operable to be coupled to a transmission line is disclosed. The method can also include detecting curtailment action data and energy pricing data of the power generation site. Additionally, the method can include analyzing the curtailment action data and the energy pricing data to detect a curtailment probability level and initiate a reduction of the electricity being transmitted from the power generating site to the transmission line in response to the detected curtailment probability level being above a curtailment set level. According to a further aspect of the invention, the electricity being transmitted from the power generating site to the transmission line may be reduced by diverting at least a portion of the electricity being transmitted from the power generating site to a storage system.

  • Patent number: 7930070
    Abstract: A system, method, and module capable of curtailing energy production within congestive grid operating environments, according to are an aspect, including a method of managing power generation of a power generation site operable to be coupled to a transmission line is disclosed. The method can also include detecting a transmission line operating characteristic, and detecting a curtailment action data of the transmission line operating characteristic. Additionally, the method can include determining a forecasted curtailment probability level as a function of the transmission line operating characteristic and the curtailment action data.
