Abstract
In one aspect, a method of performing a passive maintenance operation on an energy storage farm may generally include receiving data associated with a maintenance schedule for each energy storage system in the plurality of energy storage systems, identifying at least one energy storage system as a charge contributor based at least in part on the data associated with the maintenance schedule, identifying at least one energy storage system as a discharge contributor based at least in part on the data associated with the maintenance schedule, and controlling the operation of the energy storage farm such that power distribution in the energy storage farm is biased so as to increase the state of charge of the charge contributor(s) prior to increasing the state of charge of the discharge contributor(s).
