    Abstract: A hybrid power plant including a plurality of power sources and controllers, a hybrid plant controller, and a computing system. The controllers operate the power sources according to operating set points. The hybrid plant controller transmits the operating set points to the controllers. The computing system is coupled to the hybrid plant controller and receives a first set of input parameters from a first subscriber, and carries out a first level of services to which the first subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the first subscriber. The computing system receives a second set of input parameters from a second subscriber and carries out a second level of services to which the second subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the second subscriber. The computing system then computes the operating set points based on aggregate operating parameters for the first and second subscribers.

    Abstract: A method for estimating grid strength of a power grid connected to a renewable energy farm having a plurality of renewable energy power systems includes measuring, at least, a voltage, an active power, and a reactive power at a point of interconnection of the renewable energy farm to the power grid. The method also includes determining a sensitivity of the voltage to at least one of the active power or the reactive power at the point of interconnection. Further, the method includes determining the grid strength of the power grid as a function of the sensitivity of the voltage to at least one of the active power or the reactive power at the point of interconnection. In addition, the method includes dynamically determining at least one of an active power command or a reactive power command for the renewable energy farm at the point of interconnection based on the grid strength. Moreover, the method includes distributing at least one of the active power command or the reactive power command to individual controllers of the plurality of renewable energy power systems and a farm-level controller of the renewable energy farm.

    Abstract: An electrical power system includes a system-level controller and a plurality of clusters of subsystems defining a stator power path and a converter power path for providing power to the power grid. The converter power path includes a partial power transformer. The system further includes a cluster transformer connecting each cluster to the power grid and a plurality of cluster-level controllers communicatively coupled with the system-level controller. Each of the clusters is communicatively coupled with one of the cluster-level controllers. Thus, the system-level controller regulates system-level active and/or reactive power based on required active or reactive power for the system, respectively, and compares the system-level active or reactive power with preferred values thereof. Further, the system-level controller receives feedback signal(s) from the cluster-level controllers, generates cluster-level power command(s) based on the comparison and the feedback signal(s), and sends the cluster-level power commands to the cluster-level controllers.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing a hybrid wind system including a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines and one or more energy storage units, is presented. The method includes acquiring actual wind power data associated with one or more dispatch windows. The method includes determining forecasted wind farm power estimates corresponding to the dispatch windows using a plurality of forecast schemes. The method includes computing difference values by comparing the forecasted wind farm power estimates to the actual wind power data. The method includes identifying a wind power forecast scheme based at least in part on the computed difference values and balancing a penalty to the grid with life consumption of the energy storage units while regulating the wind turbines and the energy storage units based at least in part on a subsequent forecasted wind farm power estimate generated using the identified wind power forecast scheme.
