  • Optimization controller for distributed energy resources
    Patent number: 12228895
    Abstract: An asset manager is configured to control distribution of power within an aggregated distributed energy resources system. The asset manager is configured to solve a given asset model that models a real asset. The asset controller is configured to optimize a setpoint of the asset by determining a first trajectory over the course of a first prediction horizon and a second trajectory over the course of a second prediction horizon that is temporally shorter than the first prediction horizon. The trajectories are determined by minimizing a cost function associated with the DER model or a DERs system model. The first prediction horizon has a first temporal length and a first plurality of set points. The second prediction horizon has a second temporal length and a second plurality of set points. The asset controller is configured to constrain the second trajectory based on the first plurality of set points.
