Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A method, comprising:
determining, by a processor, a battery energy storage system (BESS) of a renewable energy power plant is not charging with energy from an energy grid or discharging energy to the energy grid;
responsive to (i) the determining the BESS is not charging with energy from the energy grid and is not discharging energy to the energy grid, and (ii) determining the energy requirements of a device operating in the renewable energy power plant are currently not satisfied:
identifying, by the processor, an amount of energy that is needed to satisfy the energy requirements of the device operating in the renewable energy power plant in combination with energy provided by the BESS to the device; and
directing, by the processor, the identified amount of energy from an energy offset system to the device by changing a state of a switch directing energy from the energy offset system to the device;
establishing, by the processor, a connection with a second processor controlling the BESS;
receiving, by the processor, a state of charge of the BESS or a request for energy from the second processor; and
directing, by the processor, energy from the energy offset system to the BESS based on the received state of charge or the request for energy from the second processor.
