  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING NETWORKED, GRID-LEVEL ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20150097531
    Abstract: A method for controlling an energy storage system coupled to a power grid is disclosed. The method includes providing a processor configured to receive current state information including energy level in the storage system, current energy price information and current load information from the power grid. A scalar piecewise linear value function is iteratively solved using the current state information and generating charge/discharge control information. The charge/discharge control information is transmitted to the energy storage system.
