DEMAND-SIDE GRID-LEVEL LOAD BALANCING AGGREGATION SYSTEM

摘要

A load balance controller in communication with at least one energy generation source, at least one energy consumer, at least one load balancing device, and an electrical power grid is provided. The load balance controller is configured to: receive a value of at least one operational parameter of the electrical power grid corresponding to a load balance state of the electrical power grid, identify a threshold value for the at least one operational parameter, the threshold value corresponding to a load balance state where an amount of electrical power generated by the at least one energy generation source is substantially equivalent to an amount of electrical power consumed by the at least one energy consumer, determine a deviation of the value of the at least one operational parameter from the threshold value, and selectively control the power consumption of at least one load balancing device such that the deviation is minimized.
