Abstract
A microgrid controller of a microgrid includes one or more memories configured to store a plurality of state-of-charge (SOC) setpoints corresponding to one or more energy storage systems (ESSs), a lower dispatch threshold that varies based on the plurality of SOC setpoints, and an upper dispatch threshold that varies based on the plurality of SOC setpoints. The microgrid controller is configured to calculate a total load allocated to a plurality of energy resource systems, measure a current SOC of the one or more ESSs, determine an aggregate output power of one or more non-ESSs based on a relationship of the total load relative to the lower dispatch threshold and the upper dispatch threshold for the current SOC, configure the one or more non-ESSs to provide the aggregate output power, and set the one or more ESSs into one of a plurality of operation states based on the relationship.
