  • Control method and control system for energy storage system having demand control and uninterrupted power supply functions
    Patent number: 10819138
    Abstract: A control method and/or an apparatus for an energy storage system having demand control and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) functions and an associated control system is provided. The control method for the energy storage system may include: an operation plan establishment step of predicting power to be consumed in a load, so as to estimate the capacity of energy (UPS capacity) which needs to be charged in the energy storage system in order to provide uninterrupted power supply when a power failure occurs, and the capacity of energy available for demand control; an energy storage system operation step of operating the energy storage system according to an operation plan established in the operation plan establishment step; and a step of re-establishing an operation plan according to an operation state of the energy storage system operated by the energy storage system operation step.
