Economic optimization of power generation systems using alternative operating modes.

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure are controllers communicatively coupled to a power generation system and configured to transition the power generation system between a first operation mode and a second operation mode, An operation mode is a device that is different from the first operation mode and includes a controller and an economic optimization engine in communication with the controller, wherein the economic optimization engine generates power generation demand, power generation cost, and operation of the power generation system. Economic benefits for transitioning the power generation system from the first operating mode to the second operating mode based on at least one of the conditions, as well as economic benefits, the first operating mode and the second operating mode; A charge rate per unit time of operation in the second operation mode based on at least one of the difference in operation and the predetermined cost difference To provide.
