Systems and Methods for Coordinating Distributed Energy Storage

摘要

Systems and methods for coordinating distributed energy storage in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a power distribution network, including a set of nodes, wherein a node includes a controllable load, an uncontrollable load, and a local controller, a substation connected to each node in the set of nodes by a set of distribution lines, and a global controller including a processor, a memory, and a communications device, wherein the global controller obtains load parameters from at least one node, calculates coordination parameters for each node based on the obtained load parameters, and asynchronously provides the coordination parameters to each of the nodes in the set of nodes, and wherein each node independently obtains coordination parameters, and controls the operation of its controllable load using the local controller based on the coordination parameters and a local load profile describing at least the uncontrollable load.
