Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
acquiring time parameters, including a time window having at least one calculation cycle;
determining a maximum effective energy storage capacity of the at least one energy storage system for the time window;
performing a first sort of the at least one calculation cycle of the time window by sorting in a numerical order according to a ratio of a load demand of at least one power load to a total available power from at least one power generation system at each of the at least one calculation cycle;
assigning a unique, charge priority value to each of the at least one calculation cycles sorted by the first sort;
determining, responsive to the first sort and starting from a highest charge priority value, a charge power for each calculation cycle until a total charge power satisfies the maximum effective energy storage capacity;
determining, responsive to the first sort and starting from a lowest sorted charge priority value, an available discharge power for the each calculation cycle until a total discharge power exceeds the maximum effective energy storage capacity;
performing, responsive to the total charge power satisfying the maximum effective energy storage capacity and responsive to the total discharge power exceeding the maximum effective energy storage capacity, a second sort in a temporal order of the at least one calculation cycle;
determining, starting from an earliest calculation cycle of the second sort, an available state-of-charge (SOC) of the at least one energy storage system; and
adjusting the SOC of the at least one energy storage system for the each calculation cycle organized by the second sort.
