Abstract: A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided and comprises a battery, a power converter comprising a plurality of microinverters coupled to the battery, and a battery management unit coupled to the battery and the power converter and configured to receive a local coulomb count from each microinverter of the plurality of microinverters, calculate a total battery coulomb count, obtain a voltage measurement of the battery, and calculate a state-of-charge estimate using the calculated total battery coulomb count and the obtained voltage measurement.

Abstract: An energy storage system is provided and comprises a battery management unit; a controller configured to start an idle condition timer, measure a voltage of a battery cell of a battery connected to the battery management unit while the battery is idle, after the idle condition timer has expired, start a steady condition timer, measure the voltage of the battery cell while the battery is on, after the steady condition timer has expired, calculate a total resistance of the battery cell, and calculate an open circuit voltage of the battery cell using the total resistance.

Abstract: A portable energy system is provided and includes a controller configured to control periodic polling to determine when a load is attached or actively connected to the portable energy system, such that when the load is attached to the portable energy system, the controller energizes the portable energy system for supplying power to the load, and when the load is not attached or not actively connected to the portable energy system, the controller deenergizes the portable energy system output for not supplying power to the load.

Abstract: A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided herein and comprises a battery, a battery management unit coupled to the battery and a power converter comprising plurality of microinverters operably coupled to the battery and the battery management unit, each microinverter of the plurality of microinverters configured to calculate an estimate of state-of-charge of the battery and periodically communicate a calculated estimate of state-of-charge to the other microinverters, such that each microinverter of the plurality of microinverters calculates an average state-of-charge of the battery and communicates the calculated average state-of-charge to the battery management unit for controlling charging/discharging of the battery.

Abstract: A management device includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one energy resource controller controlling at least one energy resource and to at least one deferrable load controller controlling power to at least one deferrable load. The is configured to receive an indication, determined based on a frequency value of an electrical network and a nominal frequency value, that a frequency anomaly event has occurred. Responsive to receiving the indication that the frequency anomaly event has occurred, the processor is also configured to determine, for at least one of the energy resource and the deferrable load, based on the frequency value, the nominal frequency value, and a power value of the electrical network, a respective power command, and cause at least one of the at least one energy resource and the at least one deferrable load to modify operation based on the respective power command.
