Patent attributes
An energy control system (ECS) for controlling an energy storage system (ESS's) that includes energy storage devices(s) or an energy storage combination (ESDC's) including≥1 of the energy storage devices and ≥1 of the energy storage combinations. A power conversion system is coupled to an output of the ESDC, and a transformer is coupled to an output of the power conversion system. The ECS includes an ECS server and an ESS adapter configured for providing an interface between ECS server and the ESS. The ECS server is configured for reading status data from the ESS and submitting schedules including selected charging and discharging times to the ESS, monitoring or displaying a variance between an expected performance of the ESS based on the schedules and an actual ESS performance, and responsive to the variance being determined to be above a predetermined threshold, sending an update of the schedules to the ESS.
