Abstract
A system and method for regulating charge/discharge of a battery to stabilize a regional power grid includes a regulation control module that monitors a frequency regulation signal from the regional power grid and market conditions for obtaining power from the regional power grid. A machine learning module predicts from the frequency regulation signal and market conditions a future beneficial period when the battery may be exposed to the regional power grid to charge/discharge power in accordance with the frequency regulation signal to stabilize the regional power grid through participation in the regulation of the regional power grid. Another machine learning module calculates a regulation control signal that tracks the frequency regulation signal during the future beneficial period and outputs the regulation control signal to at least one battery control module that manages charging/discharging of the battery to selectively withdraw/apply power from/to the regional power grid during the future beneficial period.
