Abstract
A microgrid system includes an electrical bus including at least one electrical load; at least one non-energy storage system asset configured to supply electrical power to the electrical bus; an energy storage system group including: two or more energy storage system assets configured to supply electrical power to the electrical bus, and a system controller operatively coupled to each of the assets on the electrical bus. The system controller is configured to: determine characteristic energy set points and power limits for each of the assets; determine that at least two or more assets have a same priority for power distribution; determine the characteristic power set points for the non-energy storage assets, dispatch the energy storage system assets having the same priority by treating a dispatch for the energy storage system assets as a combined asset.
