Abstract
A counter-solar power plant may include a controller configured to execute instructions stored in a memory, the instructions including operations to receive data associated with power outputs of a plurality of legacy solar-only resources (LSORs), determine an estimated power output of the plurality of LSORs based on the received data, obtain a target power delivery profile of the plurality of LSORs, the target power delivery profile including a plurality of target power outputs, determine an output of a CSPP renewable energy system (RES) and a charge/discharge of a CSPP energy storage system (ESS) such that a combined output of the CSPP and the estimated power output of the plurality of LSORs satisfies at least one of the plurality of target power outputs of the target power delivery profile, and control the CSPP RES and CSPP ESS according to the determined CSPP RES output and CSPP ESS charge/discharge.
