Claim 0:
1. A system for determining power flows in a power plant comprising an energy storage system (ESS) including an energy storage device and a power generation system comprising a power source, the system comprising:
at least one memory storing a power plant model of the power plant, the power plant model comprising:
an ESS model of the ESS, the ESS model including an energy storage device model of the energy storage device, wherein the energy storage device is a battery;
a power generation system model of the power generation system;
at least one load model of at least one load configured to receive power from the power plant; and
system relationships between the ESS model, the power generation system model, and the at least one load model; and

at least one processor configured to:
receive input parameters for the at least one load, wherein the input parameters include one or more power demand schedules;
determine, based on the input parameters and the system relationships, at least one of a power flow rate at least one point in the power plant or an energy storage level of the energy storage device at a first time step; and
generate a record comprising an indication of at least one of the power flow rate or the energy storage level, wherein the power plant is configured based on the at least one of the power flow rate or the energy storage level.
