  • ENERGY-PROFILE COMPENSATION USING FEED-FORWARD WITH A WIRED OR WIRELESS LINK
    Publication number: 20220374036
    Abstract: An energy storage assembly includes an energy storage unit. A supervisor is operable to determine a power reference set point based upon a cost function. A storage unit controller is configured to control the energy storage unit to provide electric energy to at least one load based upon a power reference input that is based upon the power reference set point and at least one dynamically changing power profile from the at least one load.
    Type: Application

  • Intra-microgrid communication architecture
    Patent number: 10559977
    Abstract: A microgrid according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plurality of intelligent electronic devices configured to communicate directly with one another in a first language. Each of the intelligent electronic devices includes a controller and a gateway. The gateway is configured to convert incoming messages from the first language to a second language native to the controller. The first language is different than the second language. A method is also disclosed.
