Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for serving two or more uncorrelated loads connected to a renewable energy powerplant. The uncorrelated loads comprise a power grid and one or more industrial processes. A system may comprise a renewable energy system (RES), an energy storage system (ESS), and a controller programmed to: discretize an upcoming forecast horizon into a plurality of time periods; calculate one or more metrics for sending energy generated by the first RES to: (1) the ESS, (2) the power grid, and (3) the one or more industrial processes; prioritize the: (1) ESS, (2) power grid, and (3) one or more industrial processes.
