Abstract

The present disclosure provides an adaptive energy storage operating system that is programmed or otherwise configured to operate and optimize various types of energy storage devices.

Claims (51)

1. A method for remotely operating a distributed energy asset that is configured to perform a plurality of energy applications, said method comprising:

(a) generating an application performance model for each of said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset;

(b) generating a health model for said energy asset;

(c) generating a revenue generation model for said energy asset;

(d) generating an energy asset model for said energy asset based on said application performance models, said health model, and said revenue generation model;

(e) based on said energy asset model, generating an initial forward availability profile for said energy asset, wherein said initial forward availability profile defines at least a distribution of battery capacity among said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset that co-optimizes performance of said plurality of energy applications; and

(f) transmitting at least one control signal to said energy asset based on the initial forward availability profile, the at least one control signal controlling said energy asset to operate in accordance with the initial forward availability profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein (a) comprises analyzing historical output data captured during performance of each energy application by said energy asset.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein (b) comprises analyzing degradation of said energy asset over time.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dynamically optimizing operation of said energy asset in real-time and during operation by,

updating said energy asset model based on a difference between one or more predictions derived from said energy asset model and actual operational performance of said energy asset, and

upon updating said energy asset model, re-computing said initial forward availability profile.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a forward operating profile for each of said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

combining said forward availability profile and said forward operating profile with energy asset characteristic data and historical data, thereby enabling predictive analysis.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

generating a predictive analytics data package containing said forward operating profile and said forward availability profile.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing predictive analytics for operation and management of said distributed energy asset.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

simulating performance of said plurality of energy applications when performing the modeling.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein (b) comprises examining degradation as a function of use.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein (b) comprises examining degradation as a function of calendar life.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein (c) comprises dynamically connecting energy operations with financial data.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein (c) comprises predicting revenue that said energy asset is expected generate over its lifetime.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein (a)-(e) are performed over a cloud computing platform.

15. A system for remotely operating a distributed energy asset that is configured to perform a plurality of energy applications, the system comprising:

a memory storing computer readable instructions; and

processing circuitry configured to execute the computer readable instructions to,

(a) generate an application performance model for each of said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset,

(b) generate a health model for said energy asset,

(c) generate a revenue generation model for said energy asset,

(d) generate an energy asset model for said energy asset based on said application performance models, said health model, and said revenue generation model,

(e) based on said energy asset model, generate an initial forward availability profile for said energy asset, wherein said initial forward availability profile defines at least a distribution of battery capacity among said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset that co-optimizes performance of said plurality of energy applications, and

(f) transmit at least one control signal to said energy asset based on the initial forward availability profile, the at least one control signal controlling said energy asset to operate in accordance with the initial forward availability profile.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein (a) comprises analyzing historical output data captured during performance of each energy application by said energy asset; and

wherein (b) comprises analyzing degradation of said energy asset over time.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing circuitry is further caused to:

dynamically optimize operation of said energy asset in real-time and during operation by,

updating said energy asset model based on a difference between one or more predictions derived from said energy asset model and actual operational performance of said energy asset, and

upon updating said energy asset model, re-computing said initial forward availability profile.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processing circuitry is further caused to:

generate a forward operating profile for each of said plurality of energy applications performed by said energy asset; and

combine said forward availability profile and said forward operating profile with energy asset characteristic data and historical data, thereby enabling predictive analysis.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the processing circuitry is further caused to:

generate a predictive analytics data package containing said forward operating profile and said forward availability profile; and

perform predictive analytics for operation and management of said distributed energy asset.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing circuitry is further caused to:
