Abstract
A renewable power system with a twin-configurable architecture is described. The system includes a renewable energy source (RES), an energy storage system (ESS), and at least one controllable load (CL) (e.g., AI training/datacenter). The system can serve as a baseload or semi-baseload plant for CL(s) and/or as a peaker or semi-peaker plant for an electric grid, or vice-versa, and optionally in parallel, can also provide ancillary services to the electric grid and/or to the CL(s). In certain embodiments, e.g. solar PV RES(es), the system can have capacity factors of at least about 60% and up to 100%, higher asset utilization, better economics for the RES-ESS, improved system performance, and lower energy costs as compared with known systems without a CL(s). By making load a variable, and integral part of the system, sophisticated resource allocation strategies, including AI algorithms, can be developed not previously possible with known systems lacking a CL(s).
