Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. A power allocation system comprising:
a renewable energy power plant (REPP) having a renewable energy source (RES) and a first energy storage system (ESS) and a second ESS; and
a controller having programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the controller to perform a process comprising:
in a first mode of operation, deliver power to a first load from the RES, the first ESS and the second ESS to satisfy power requirements of the first load for a first time longer than a first production time when the RES produces power;
in a second mode of operation, deliver power to the first load from the RES and first ESS to satisfy power requirements of the first load for a second time longer than a second production time when the RES produces power and maintain a portion of charge at the second ESS in reserve for the second load; and
switch from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation upon either a) energy output of the RES during a predetermined time period falling below a first threshold or b) production time when the RES produces power falling below a second threshold,
wherein the first ESS and the second ESS are portions of one physical ESS and a first portion of the one physical ESS is allocated to the first ESS changes depending on a season.
