Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A method of anticipating and preemptively responding to power loading and power unloading events using a stand-alone energy storage module (ESM),
wherein the ESM comprises:
batteries for receiving, storing, and distributing electrical power;
a bi-directional inverter that is in communication with the batteries and that is operable to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and to convert AC to DC;
an ESM controller in communication with the bi-directional inverter and at least one of the batteries; and
electrical connections comprising:
an AC power output in communication with the bi-directional inverter and configured to provide power to an external load; and
AC power inputs in communication with the bi-directional inverter and configured to provide power to the batteries;
wherein the AC power inputs are adapted to be connected to one or more energy sources, the one or more energy sources comprising at least one of:
 an engine-driven generator;
 a renewable energy source; and
 a utility grid or a multi-MW generating device; and

wherein the method comprises:
monitoring power loading and unloading events associated with the external load;
recording the power loading and unloading events associated with the external load;
anticipating, based on the recorded power loading and unloading events, predicted power loading and unloading events; and
preemptively responding to the predicted power loading or unloading events by controlling power output of at least one of the one or more energy sources and the batteries of the ESM;

wherein the one or more energy sources comprises the engine-driven generator;
wherein the engine-driven generator comprises a generator controller;
wherein tuning parameters associated with the engine-driven generator are stored in the generator controller but inaccessible to the ESM controller; and
wherein the method further comprises:
commanding, by the ESM controller, the engine-driven generator via the generator controller to respond to predetermined load steps;
monitoring, by the ESM controller, the response of the engine-driven generator to the command; and
determining, by the ESM controller, based on the response to the command, the tuning parameters associated with the engine-driven generator.
