Asset Fuel-Reserve Based Microgrid Control Strategy

A refueling prediction mode in a microgrid power system may include inputting historical load and weather date of the microgrid power system to a forecasting block and determining forecasted site load and weather factors for the microgrid power system. The forecasted site load and weather factors may be used along with fuel efficiency curves and asset fuel levels for power assets of the microgrid power system, along with other information, to determine an asset dispatch schedule and a refueling timeline for the power assets. Asset dispatch commands based on the asset dispatch schedule and an actual site load may be output to the power assets to meet the load demand on the microgrid power system. A sustained reliability mode may use the information plus real-time fuel costs for the power assets to determine an asset dispatch schedule for longest microgrid sustenance for the power assets.
