Claim 0:
1. A method for managing the operation of an AC power grid to which connects an energy storage arrangement, the AC power grid being characterized by a dynamic state of balance between power generation and load, the method comprising:
Controlling a power control device to implement at least one remote command sent by a remote entity to the power control device, wherein the at least one remote command causes delivery of at least one ancillary service when the AC power grid is in a state of equilibrium between power generation and load, including causing the energy storage arrangement to inject electrical energy into the AC power grid;
Sensing with the power control device a characteristic of an electrical energy supplied by the AC power grid to the energy storage arrangement, the characteristic being observable at a power connection interface between the energy storage arrangement and the AC power grid;
Detecting with the power control device on the basis of the characteristic a power generation deficit within the AC power grid;
In response to detection of the power generation deficit within the AC power grid, controlling with the power control device the energy storage arrangement to initiate a local response while the at least one ancillary service is being delivered, the local response and the at least one ancillary service being performed concurrently, wherein the local response is configured to lessen the power generation deficit within the AC power grid and is characterized by an injection of electrical energy by the energy storage arrangement into the AC power grid;
In response to detection of the ending of the power generation deficit within the AC power grid, controlling the power control device to stop the local response and continue delivery of the at least one ancillary service.
