  • Patent number: 10152076
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates aggregation of a plurality of controllable distributed energy resources (DERs). A processor may be configured to determine DER forecasts including non-influenced power profile forecasts for a plurality of DERs that include different types of load assets that consume power, for when the DERs are not influenced via dispatches from the system, based at least in part on different physics characteristics associated with the different types of the DERs. The processor may also determine a combined reserve capacity forecast for aggregated DERs including both power assets that output power and the different types of load assets, based at least in part on an aggregation of the non-influenced power profile forecasts. In addition, the processor may control at least some of the plurality of DERs based at least in part on the combined reserve capacity forecast.
