BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND MICROGRID CONTROLLER

This invention is directed to systems and methods that track a specified stored energy level profile for a BESS in a microgrid. The systems and methods including using a control algorithm that tracks the stored energy level profile for the BESS. The controller algorithm includes a Kalman Filter design for a model-based state reconstruction to overcome sensor/communication errors during real-time operation. The latter is important to guarantee the ability of the microgrid to continue its seamless operation during periods of erroneous sensor measurements or flawed communication.
