Abstract: A process for calculating feasibility of an electrical energy consumption management system (CMS) includes receiving a first historical energy consumption profile of an energy consumer for a first time period and a second historical energy consumption profile of the energy consumer for a second time period, wherein the second time period is after the first time period. The process may also include determining a setpoint for a CMS, wherein the CMS has hardware specifications, and wherein the setpoint is based on the first historical energy consumption profile and the hardware specifications. Next, an energy savings that would be produced by the CMS over the second time period is determined and a feasibility rating is assigned to the CMS based on the first energy savings and the first hardware specifications. A customer may thereby determine or optimize the effectiveness of a CMS at his site before it is purchased and installed.

Abstract: Methods and systems of controlling frequency regulation system controllers in a utility grid frequency regulation program are shown and described. One method includes providing historical frequency regulation data and energy storage device specifications of an energy storage device connected to a frequency regulation system. The method also includes simulating frequency regulation operations by the energy storage device, with each simulated frequency regulation operation including simulating operation of the frequency regulation system using an upper state of charge threshold for the energy storage device and a lower state of charge threshold for the energy storage device to obtain a cost of using the frequency regulation system with the upper and lower state of charge thresholds. A frequency regulation system controller may be used to implement the upper and lower state of charge thresholds of the simulated frequency regulation operation that has the lowest costs of program participation.
