Energy storage management system

1. An energy storage management system, comprising:

an upper control unit configured to output a total power command for each preset period;

a plurality of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs), each of which includes a battery and is configured to output power from the battery to a grid or charge power from the grid to the battery, based at least on the total power command; and

a controller configured to:

identify at least two setting target ESSs among the plurality of ESSs based at least on a State of Charge (SOC) of each battery and the outputted total power command for each preset period;

determine a power output order or a power charging order between the setting target ESSs based at least on the SOC of each battery included in the identified setting target ESSs;

generate an ESS power command for each of the setting target ESSs based at least on the determined order, the total power command and the SOC of each battery; and

output the generated ESS power command to each of the setting target ESSs, wherein the controller is further configured to:

determine whether an allocation power magnitude of a setting target ESS is equal to or larger than an allowable power magnitude of the setting target ESS; and

responsive to determining that the allocation power magnitude of the setting target ESS is equal to or larger than the allowable power magnitude of the setting target ESS, allocate a corresponding ESS power command as the allowable power magnitude, and

wherein the allocation power magnitude is determined according to the following equation:

Allocation Power Magnitude=(SOC/SOCav)×( P/N )

where SOC is a state of charge of a battery included in any one of the at least two setting target ESSs, SOCav is an average of SOCs of all batteries included in the at least two setting target ESSs, P is the total power command, and N is the number of setting target ESSs.

2. The energy storage management system according to claim 1 , wherein, responsive to determining that the total power command includes a positive value, the controller is further configured to identify an ESS including a battery with a SOC between a preset maximum SOC and a preset minimum SOC as a setting target ESS based on a result of the determination.

3. The energy storage management system according to claim 2 , wherein, responsive to determining that the total power command includes the positive value, the controller is further configured to determine a power output order in terms of SOC magnitude from an ESS including a battery with a largest SOC to an ESS including a battery with a smallest SOC among batteries with a SOC equal to or smaller than the preset maximum SOC.

4. The energy storage management system according to claim 1 , wherein, responsive to determining that the total power command includes a negative value, the controller is further configured to determine a power input order in terms of SOC magnitude from an ESS including a battery with the smallest SOC to an ESS including a battery with the largest SOC among batteries with a SOC equal to or larger than the preset minimum SOC.

5. The energy storage management system according to claim 1 , wherein, responsive to determining that the allocation power magnitude of any one of the at least two setting target ESSs is smaller than the allowable power magnitude of that same setting target ESSs, the ESS power command includes the allocation power magnitude.

6. The energy storage management system according to claim 5 , wherein the allowable power magnitude is set for each of the ESSs.

7. The energy storage management system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to acquire state information of each of the at least two setting target ESSs and determine the allowable power magnitude of each of the at least two setting target ESSs based on the state information.
