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 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.
