Abstract
According to some embodiments, system and method are provided comprising calculating an output power setpoint for a thermal generation system for a first calculation cycle of a time window having at least one calculation cycle; calculating a net demand for dispatchable power to satisfy a required load demand after calculating an available renewable power generation; determining, responsive to determining that the net demand for dispatchable power exceeds the output power setpoint for the thermal generation system, whether a discharge power of an energy storage device satisfies a power gap; generating, responsive to determining that the discharge power is not larger than a power rating, a discharge command to discharge the energy storage device at the discharge power; and increasing, responsive to determining that the discharge of the energy storage device fails to satisfy the power gap, the output power setpoint for the thermal generation system for the first calculation cycle.
