Abstract: In one aspect, a method of distributing power among a plurality of energy storage systems in an energy storage farm may generally include receiving a power distribution input associated with a power amount to be received by or delivered from the energy storage farm, determining an initial power value for each energy storage system based at least in part on a state of charge associated with the energy storage system, determining an unallocated power value for the energy storage farm based at least in part on the received power request and the initial power values of the energy storage systems, determining an updated power value for each energy storage system based at least in part on the unallocated power value, and controlling the operation of the energy storage farm such that each energy storage system delivers or receives an amount of power equal to its determined updated power value.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a cooling airflow to an energy storage system. The energy storage system can include one or more energy storage devices positioned within a defined thermal zone. The energy storage system can include a thermal control system configured to provide a cooling airflow to the one or more energy storage devices. The thermal control system can include a heat exchanging device configured to provide a cooled airflow to the defined thermal zone. The thermal control system can also include a moveable element configured to adjust a distribution of airflow within the defined thermal zone.
