Abstract
A method for delivering power to a grid. The method may include receiving a prediction of power generation for a renewable energy source (RES), receiving length of power delivery requirements of the grid, determining a stretch mode limit based on the prediction of power generation and the length of power delivery requirements such that a period of time during which the RES and an ESS can deliver power to the grid is extended to satisfy the length of power delivery requirements, wherein the stretch mode limit comprises a limit on power delivered to the grid, and delivering power to the grid according to the stretch mode limit from the RES and an energy storage system (ESS) electrically coupled to the RES, wherein the combined output of the RES and the ESS is limited by the stretch mode limit.
