Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a hybrid power system are disclosed. A controller may perform operations, including: obtaining a load forecast; obtaining a power availability forecast and an energy cost forecast for each power asset group; performing at least one prospective optimization to determine scheduled active power commands for the groups that optimize a total operating cost; tracking an on-line load; tracking an on-line power availability and an on-line energy cost for the groups; performing at least one on-line optimization to determine on-line active power commands for the groups that (i) account for variance between the load forecast and the on-line load, (ii) account for variance between the power availability forecast and the on-line power availability, and (iii) optimize the total operating cost; and operating the groups based on the scheduled active power commands and the on-line active power commands.
