DATA AGGREGATION WITH OPERATION FORECASTS FOR A DISTRIBUTED GRID NODE

摘要

Data aggregation enables a local control response based on forecasted actions at a consumer node of a distributed grid network. A consumer node includes a local energy meter that receives grid condition information, including an aggregation of multiple inputs indicating an electrical condition of the grid network, local operating conditions at the PCC, and local power demand. The consumer node accesses rate information for the grid network indicating a consumer power price and a market power price. Based on the rate information and the aggregation information, the consumer node calculates an output power to generate with a local power converter, which outputs the power based in accordance with the calculation.

1. A method for interfacing with a power grid network, comprising:
receiving grid condition information at a meter on a consumer side of a point of common coupling (PCC) to the grid network, wherein the grid condition information includes an aggregation of multiple inputs indicating an electrical condition of the grid network and local operating conditions at the PCC, including local power demand; accessing rate information for the grid network, the rate information indicating a consumer power price and a market power price; calculating an output power to generate with a local power converter coupled to the consumer side of the PCC, based on the multiple inputs, the local power demand, and the rate information; and outputting power from the local power converter based on the calculated output power.
