Abstract: A microgrid system includes an electrical bus including at least one electrical load; at least one non-energy storage system asset configured to supply electrical power to the electrical bus; an energy storage system group including: two or more energy storage system assets configured to supply electrical power to the electrical bus, and a system controller operatively coupled to each of the assets on the electrical bus. The system controller is configured to: determine characteristic energy set points and power limits for each of the assets; determine that at least two or more assets have a same priority for power distribution; determine the characteristic power set points for the non-energy storage assets, dispatch the energy storage system assets having the same priority by treating a dispatch for the energy storage system assets as a combined asset.

Abstract: A method of configuring a microgrid including: receiving configuration inputs from an operator, the configuration inputs including an intended bus structure, a plurality of energy resources data, and energy resources priorities; classifying assets and asset groups based on the plurality of energy resources data; and generating a microgrid configuration based on the one or more configuration inputs, the microgrid configuration providing for automatic operation of the microgrid.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling distributed energy resources. Controllers in a peer-to-peer network are configured to act as a dispatch handler for electrical buses connected to respective set of power assets and loads. The controllers are configured to broadcast micro-grid configuration information over the peer-to-peer network to each controller. Each controller is configured to determine a segmentation of the electrical buses into isolated micro-grids; and assign a controller as a supervisor for each of the isolated micro-grids. The controllers are configured such that supervisor controller assigned to isolated micro-grid is configured to determine dispatch commands for power assets associated with the isolated micro-grid to handle load requirements and broadcast the determined dispatch commands over the peer-to-peer network.

Abstract: A method of allocating power across a microgrid having a plurality of energy storage systems with different power and/or energy capacities, and different states of charge. The method includes allocating a total charge request and/or a total discharge request across the energy storage systems; and limiting the charge and/or discharge of one or more energy storage systems to a submaximal value.

Abstract: A method of allocating power across a microgrid having a plurality of energy storage systems with different power and/or energy capacities, and different states of charge. The method includes allocating a total charge request and/or a total discharge request across the energy storage systems as a function of a usable energy capacity of each energy storage system.

Abstract: A control system for a mobile excavation machine is disclosed. The control system may have a ground engaging work tool, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor may be configured to sense a parameter indicative of a current travel speed of the mobile excavation machine and generate a speed signal in response thereto. The controller may be in communication with the ground engaging work tool and the sensor, and configured to receive the signal. The controller may also be configured to determine an amount of material currently being moved by the work tool and calculate a current productivity value associated with removal of the material based on the speed signal and the determined amount of material currently being moved. The controller may be further configured to control the ground engaging work tool to vary the amount of material currently being moved in response to the current productivity value.
